📗 Tifo's new book, "How to Watch Football" is now available internationally: linktr.ee/tifobook
Joe Devine, JJ Bull, Jon Mackenzie, Seb Stafford-Bloor, Michael Bailey and Reuben Pinder are here to talk about some football.
It’s the final Tifo Football podcast in this format and therefore we spent a massive part of it talking about… Spurs.
Ange Postecoglu is being heavily linked to taking the reins at Tottenham and we chat about how his Spurs team may look.
We also talk about the Europa League final but specifically Jose Mourinho’s behaviour during and after the match towards referee Anthony Taylor.
We also ask each other the burning questions we’ve always wanted to ask because why the hell not.
This episode of the Tifo football podcast is presented by Joe Devine and produced by Steve Hankey.

@willsaenz6320 Also, the dog and the bullard are too enthusiastically in on the joke now. Pinder, the fresh faced baby boy that he is, is still relatively new to the game. Untarnished by the "if you can't beat them, join them" principle, he still remains genuinely irked by Joe's antics, refusing to engage in the madness. This is why we tune in, it's what we pay to see. It's the gas that keeps our lights on during an energy crisis.

Ehhh, at first, I was disappointed by Pinder’s capitulation. Then I found out that Joe pulled the diabolical “got your nose” trick on him, and refused to return it until he agreed to do the noise. It’s just his thumb, Pinder!!! He’s not capable of snatching your nose from your face!! When you think he is providing visual proof, what he is showing you is his thumb!!! I don’t know why I bother.

This podcast has been really big in reigniting my love of football. I was obsessive as a kid, fell off as a teenager, and then when the pandemic hit and I'd watched everything on Netflix and Amazon except the football documentaries, I got back into it. The podcast was so useful for giving me more context around football now vs when I last paid attention to it and entertained me to no end as well. So I'll miss it a lot, but thanks for getting me back into the game.

I just listened to the Ten Hag pod and while probably very informative, my god its dull. Tuned out after 15 minutes and it became white noise while I was doing other stuff. I love the original format and the chemistry of the round table discussions!

27:04 this is such a good point. Football isnt just about results, there's the entertainment side, the pride, the connection to the players, the connection the team has to the city, so many things that are just immeasurable. I think Leeds are a great example of this. There are a lot of (often American) Leeds fans talking about how Jesse Marsch had a better record that Bielsa in his final season, and bettered the two other managers who came after, but the difference is we LOVED Bielsa, he gave us a style of our own, he understood us, we were proud of him. That goes so much deeper than just points per game or expected goals, and is something that is all too rare in modern football.

As a celtic fan, ange postecoglou was a revelation when he signed for us. Say what you will about the league, but putting it aside for now: he came in as a relative unknown, laughed at from all corners and left celtic fans bewildered by the appointment; he spoke excellently at early press conferences, and quickly got the fans backing him as a character and as a football manager; played mouth-watering football that won and provided sensational performances in big games (even leaving fans like me proud of the teams 1st half performance in a 3-0 loss to real madrid); and steered the club in the right direction from all aspects (including at a board level, and a fan level in my opinion). Daniel levy and the spurs fans simply must back him, and i believe the results will come

This may be the best podcast series I’ve ever listened to. I started listening and watching during lockdowns when I was seriously depressed and would often listen while gardening. It became a respite and almost therapy for me. Ironically the wacky and wildness of it all kept me stable and sane during those very low days. It got me through those awful months both at home and during university studies on Teams. Now I can’t believe it’s ending- it’s almost like my whole ‘lockdown life’ is ending with podcasts and channels concluding just as we head into our new lives in a post-pandemic era. It’s mental that all of that happened and I had Tifo Podcast as my steady rudder telling me ‘it’ll all be okay - now here’s Joe Devine!’. Now I talk to my girlfriend about it and how it kept me sane and the laughs in the garden I’d have by myself with only nature watching me as I do some weeding or something. Incredible memories- great laughs and it’s so sad to see it die but it went out on a big bang at Leicester Square which is amazing! Good luck to all those who are gone or leaving like Alex Stewart and Steve Hankie who will just have brilliant careers. This podcast has warmed my heart and I hope things are only just getting better. Also please do some sort of annual mess-around football podcast like at Xmas because it’s just too good to let it die for good. Good luck Tifo and thank you so much for a brilliant hilariously beautiful and wonderful informative podcast series! What a fantastic cast! It’s just sad to see it go but new adventures await and that theme tune will always be part of me forever (in a very sacred way). You have impacted my life in a way you could never have believed and I want to say thank you for that - because you know what my thoughts were right- ‘life will be alright because here’s Joe Devine, JJ Bull and John McKenzie’. Cheers Tifo football podcast for keeping me sane during a time I was low, depressed and needed that escape from the chaos of a pandemic reality as three years rush in front of our eyes. You don’t realise how good something is before it’s gone- and I think we’ve realised that now. Cheers TIFO IRL for just being there when I needed something like you most
