What is the episode’s overall focus on Liverpool and Spurs this season?
Hello and welcome to the Tifo Football Podcast. I'm Joe Devine and today I'm delighted to be joined by Joe McKenzie. Hello, Joe. Yes, you have a sign on your head. Would you like to read that for the audio listeners? I think it says, buy my book, please. It says, buy my book, please. But like, please, you know, isn't how it would be written on the internet. It's very soon now, isn't it?
Yeah, it's out next week,
20th of August. The 20th of August. And what's it called again? The Spectre of Pep. That's right. Harry Potter and the Spectre of Pep.
Very exciting. I'm trying to subliminally message here.
I'll maybe wear this. On an audio product,
very confusing. You know when you're watching an Arsenal game and you just have that weird hunch, you're like, oh, maybe I should visit Rwanda.
That's what I'm
going for here.
different world I mean
I think you should pick a different
world
I think it's fine ask the fans you're coming really hard after them for saying that because that's a really contentious sponsorship yeah alright fine fine fine fine yeah um well lovely yeah no I know exactly what you mean also hey JJ Bull hello have you ever been subliminally advertised too
I don't know I think my advertising is less subliminal I should have thought of John's marketed his book very well
right because I appear to
have given up marketing my album immediately oh
yeah why don't you market your album where's your hat I didn't bring it I didn't prepare it please buy my album I should have thought of it do you want to borrow this no it's okay there we go well anyway and the athletics buy my album buy my album buy my album Also joined by the Athletics Deputy News Editor, Dan Kilpatrick. Hello. Hello, buddy. How are you?
Yeah, very
well.
And nothing to sell. Nothing to sell. No, I'm wrapping my brains, but I don't have an album. I think it's the Makings. I think it's
the Makings. There we go. Now, what did we talk about on today's episode? Well, so much. Well, actually, not that much. We covered two teams, two areas. We started the show talking about Liverpool. Can Andoni Arreola replicate his success at Bournemouth? That's the question. Will he be given the same level of patience? We ask that. And we also find out how you can determine whether or not something is AI. And we discuss whether something is pannable or not. And what is pannable? Well, you have to listen to find out. We played a rondo in which we learned about who knows about Germany and who doesn't. Very exciting rondo. Stick around for that halfway through. And then the second half, we talk all about Spurs, the return to the Premier League of Deserby.
What does it mean from a tactical perspective? And do they have enough midfielders? Do they lack players elsewhere? Do they, should they, what's going to happen to Lucas Bergvall? Yeah, anything else? How do you pronounce Fanta Fenn? How do you pronounce Fanta Fenn? Well, I teach a genuine Spurs fan how to do it correctly. There we go. Now, was there anything else? Did we talk about anything else? Oh, and then at the end, we hear your guys' top four predictions for top six. Top four and top six. Yeah. Because top four is part of top six.
It's too difficult this year. I'm looking forward to it because it could be totally random. But also, it might be just the top six only. That's normal. The big six. Yeah, yeah. The top six could be the
big six.
Yeah.
Yeah. Who knows? Not me. Not me either. Anyway, that's it, I think. By the way, incidentally, we have a Ring for Analysis episode coming out this week on Saturday. Stick around for the later in the week. That doesn't make any sense. You can't stick around in the week, can you? The week happens to you, I guess. The week, yeah. Let the week happen to you, and on Saturday, the Ring for Analysis episode will happen to you. And then next week, we're back to the normal day, so we'll have episodes on Tuesday morning, Thursday afternoon, and Saturday. I can't remember. I don't know when we publish things, but there you go. That's it.
Buy my book. Buy tickets to my gigs. Read The Athletic. There we go.
