The Athletic FC

Hello and welcome to the TIFO football podcast.

I'm Joe Devine and today I'm delighted to be joined by JJ Bull.

Hello, Colin Millar.

Hello.

That's what I like to call you now.

I was doing it in a Northern Irish accent before, but I'll be respectful and say it like Colin Malar.

How culturally sensitive of you.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Now, that is a fly forward to the fact that there was a little Italian accent that I did in the episode, which was cut for it.

You won't get to hear that or the Northern Irish one, but they're pretty fun.

They're pretty fun. They're pretty fun. Now, anyway, also, Ruben Pinder. Hello. Hello. Hello. Welcome. Now, what did we talk about? Oh, Steve Hanky's also here. Hello. There he is. Now, what did we talk about on today's episode? Well, the hammers, right, Steve, are ironing out a path to potential Premier League survival.

So how have they improved their previously poor form?

We discussed that.

I almost did another accent there, isn't there?

Their poor form.

We discussed that a little bit.

Well, no, right at the very beginning of the podcast, here's another thing.

How many different formations are there actually? Colin says eight. Rubin says there's only one. Much like the single Great Ocean that bestrides our blue planet, right, Steve. Steve, a big proponent of the conspiracy theory, that there's only one ocean. Because all seas interconnect. That's not true. All oceans interconnect. Do you? I think all oceans do. All oceans do, yeah. Not all seas. Because of course there are some seas that are landlocked. Yeah. That's a lake. Here's a, no, no, no, no. What about the dead sea? Oh yeah, I don't know what I'm talking about. What about the Black Sea? Don't you find those bits in oceans where...

No, the Black Sea.

Don't listen to that one?
