He
Hello and welcome back to the Tifo Football Podcast. I'm Joe Devine, and I'm refreshed from a summer of um refreshing drinks and rest. Yeah, that's what it is. Anyway, I'm delighted to be joined by He's Back from Across the Pond. It's the American baby boy, hey, a robin pinder! Howdy
fucking
up!
How are you doing? Okay.
I'm great, thank you. Yeah. Bomber. You've rejoined Big Bomber. You've you've rejoined us from Big Bomber America. How was it over there?
Uh very American. Very hot. Yeah. Really enjoyable. Yeah. Had a great time, thank you. Best bit. Uh watching Portugal get knocked out in Dallas. Pretty funny. Pretty crazy. Ronaldo did a cry.
Yes, absolutely. Well, welcome back. Anyway, we've also we're joined by one of the data boys. It's Tom Har also back from America, I should say, but to less acclaim because we didn't feel your absence in the same way. It's Tom Harris. Ah, thanks for that. What a rude start to the show. We had a kickabout
in New York actually.
Did you? Yeah, we did. Well, you kicked each other?
Mm-hmm. Yeah, we just yeah, kickbox it now. Isn't there somewhere to play football in New York City? Along the there's a riverside park, which is loads of AstroTurf pitches.
Oh, that's nice. Who won? Well, Ruben we played crossbar challenge and Ruben kind of ruined it for us 'cause he got three in a row to start with. Right. And we were just all like, okay.
How about that? I watched a social video yesterday of Johnny Wilkinson just throwing a rugby ball behind him and hitting the the bar of a of a rugby post. I don't know what you call it. I saw that was when I it
reminded me of the David Beckham one hitting a bin on a beach and I was like, Is this just is this doctored? Is this real? I seemed real to me. It seemed real to me. Yeah.
You know, how about that? Anyway, speaking of seeming real to me, he wasn't here before. He is here now. It's John Mackenzie. There he is. And you're holding a book, John. Yeah, I thought you'd say something. No, you haven't said anything. Would you like to see hold up the front cover of that book? Yeah. It's here. Yeah, there it is. It's the Spectre of Pep. The the how Guardiola haunts modern football tactics. This is John's book. We've been talking about it for a long time. We've got a hard copy of it here. And will you hold it up one more time? I showed this to a friend of mine who's met you once, uh, and he said, Oh, I don't remember him looking like that. I said that's Pep Guadiola. But two bold men. You'll be forgiven for not a football confused friend.
No, no, he wasn't a footballer. No, not not a not not science. Is it how w when does it come out, John? Very soon. Yeah, August the twentieth. August the twentieth. Wow, that's very soon, isn't it? Do you want to pass the
read Jamie Carragher's cover quote?
I can say? I've read it. Would you like to hear my review of it? Yeah, please. I thought it was absolutely fine. No, it's very, very, very good. It's excellent. I i and one thing I want to emphasize over and over again is that it's not just about Pep Guardiola. I know that seems like a simple thing to say, because it looks somewhat like it's going to be a sort of tactical biography of Pep Guardiola or something. It's about all modern football. In fact, one of my favourite bits was about Jurgen Klopp. There's a lovely bit about Deserbi in it as well. It's it is essential reading, as Jamie Carragher says.
And Carl Ankar. I was just about to say two people have used the word essential. Is
it well?
I think it's essential. I mean, you know, if you're a certain type of person.
So my dad is ill in bed at the moment. Oh, really? Which is the only condition that would force him, I think, to read my book. Right. So he's read the intro. He's read the intro. And he said, he messaged me just as we were recording. What did he say? Hey John, just read the intro.
Right.
You're a great writer. Oh. I understood it. It drew me in and I look forward to the rest. So there you go. This is a man this is a man who doesn't care at all about Pep Guardiola and he's interested in it.
Uh do you know, my wife read it alongside me as well, and she had to say she doesn't know anything about football or care about it, and she said she enjoyed it.
