Hello, I'm Joe Devine from the TIFO Football Podcast, and I'm here today to introduce

Adam Leventhal on the Athletics Premier League Countdown podcast. Adam has been celebrating the return

of the 2019-20 season, which is only days away, by releasing 20 podcasts on the Ornstein and Chapman

feed, each one dedicated to a different Premier League team.

That's two podcasts a day, every day up until football returns. Today's episode is Watford,

and Adam is switching role from host to interviewee. We've already released shows for all the

previous teams, so you can catch up with those on this podcast feed or add free via the

athletic app. If you're not already a subscriber, you can sign up with those on this podcast feed or add free via the athletic app.

If you're not already a subscriber, you can sign up right now and get 40% off an annual

subscription by going to theathletic.com forward slash Tifo to enjoy the best football writing anywhere.

Adam, of course, also participates on from the rookery end, the athletics at Watford

specific podcast, which has been

running episodes all season and throughout lockdown. So make sure you check that out and listen

back to some recent special episodes. So without further ado, here's the fantastic Adam Leventhal.

Adam Leventhal, welcome to your own podcast.

Thank you very much. It's great to be here.

I'm sort of slightly trepidacious because being an interviewee rather than the interviewer is a little bit more challenging.

But if you can go easy on me, then I'd be very grateful because it has been quite an arduous journey getting through all these podcasts.

Well, I'm glad this comes right at the end, so in a way, you know, it's a bit like your Swan song. Let's start with an easy one with that in mind. You went to a game of football

at the weekend. What on earth was that like?

It was sort of partly soul-destroying, but also quite hardening,

if those two things can exist in the same way.
