Summary
Joe Devine, JJ Bull, Jon Mackenzie and Reuben Pinder are here to talk about some football.
The boys look at why Crystal Palace made the decision to relieve Patrick Vieira of his managerial duties.
We talk about Tottenham and Antonio Conte’s searingly honest press conference after their 3-3 draw with Southampton.
The Champions League has reached the quarter final stage and there are some real juicy ties that we drool all over.
In Spain, Barcelona opened up an eight point gap over Real Madrid with a 2-1 in El Classico.
Man Utd’s progress to the FA Cup semi-final was marred by a mad 40 second in which Fulham had two men sent off in the space of a minute.
JJ and Jon had a lovely day together at a football match over the weekend so we hear about that lovely time they had.
Plus, there’s a discussion about heathland that deteriorates very quickly.
This episode of the Tifo football podcast is presented by Joe Devine and produced by Steve Hankey.
