Hello and welcome to the TIFO football podcast.

I am Joe Devine and today I am joined by Seb Stafford Bloor.

Morning Joe.

Morning and Alex Stewart.

Good afternoon, Joe.

Good afternoon.

Okay, well that's confusing start, isn't it?

Actually, the crossover occurred just between those two moments.

It did.

So we were both right.

Yeah.

Possibly. Today we're going to talk about Sheffield United, which is exciting for us. Newly promoted, of course, they'll be featuring the Premier League next season. The first time a Sheffield team has been in the Premier League for how many years? Oh, a decade. Since the early days, right? Wasn't it? No, no, no. Well, obviously, Chef of United were lost in.

I just want to say at the beginning, of course, there are some, some of our audience who listen to

And so I think we're going to kick things off with Seb, giving us a broad overview. There will be more in-depth discussion shortly. So if you're a Sheffield United fan, you're about to hear information you already know. Stick with us at five minutes and we'll get into stuff that will be likely

of more interest to you shortly. But just to make sure everyone's on board with us,
