Joe Devine, Jon Mackenzie and JJ Bull are here to talk about some football.
Man City have won their fifth title in six seasons. But do the ongoing allegations hanging over them mean that their achievements come with an asterisk?
We also spoke in wider terms about how the elite teams all seem to be in transition except for them boys in sky blue.
In Germany, Borussia Dortmund are in pole position to wrestle the Bundesliga title off Bayern Munich for the first time in 11 years.
We return to England to look at the Premier League’s bottom as the fate of two relegation slots go to the final round of fixtures.
And there’s a lot of nonsense about baths, what percentage of human beings is water and other silly bits.
This episode of the Tifo football podcast is presented by Joe Devine and produced by Steve Hankey.

Shrek is objectively better than Dumb & Dumber
The people who complain about the humour in this podcast are the kind of people I want to avoid like the plague.
Nah that’s cap, the last Jedi is one of the worst films I’ve ever seen
Tried listening again today… Didn't make it to the 2 minute mark. How could something so beautiful have turned into something like this?
shrek
Dumb and Dumber is a good movie. Shrek is an absolute masterpiece. Shrek has no right to be as good as it is and the fact that Shrek 2 is just as good (if not better) is astounding. I am sorry but there are levels to this.
Please please please don’t end this style of podcast. It’s so much fun every week
Just in case you feel the introduction and banter in the first few minutes is charming, its not. Its crap. So, it will be useful and possibly save lot of football lovers if you guys cup the crap and get talking about the football. Thanks.
Don’t listen to these hanky panky nonsense peddlers, this podcast is great because of the silliness not the footballing insight. BRING IT BACK
I love the mix of your silliness and analysis so screw you non silliness comments…and a faster smaller bird would end up just eating the ring and poppin a poo somewhere for someone to get the ring and go mental
Jon’s opinions on LOTR are as informed as his opinions on football and you can make of that what you will
Come for the football, stay for the bath tub talk
This podcast is unlistenable
1:14:16 he might have fooled Joe and John but we all know Salad Fingers when we hear him
this is awful.
Gollum is a hobbit and though he does get corrupted by the ring it’s noted that he was able to hold out a remarkably long time compared to a human, as does frodo
oh no please dont talk about the nba, that was embarrassing
if the city owners did break FFP rules, but that didnt improve the team on the pitch at all, why did they bother? were they just so inept that they spent all that extra money for no benefit? I think the real benefit was getting to a level where they could attract pep, who wouldnt have gone there if they werent already looking like the best team in the league
Never end the pod!
My favorite footy pod!
I’d pay money to see a final episode where the introductory shitehousery is genuinely just the whole podcast
At the very least you take an eagle most of the way 😂 like there is a mythical creature Olympics to know which is faster.
I enjoy the elements of banter but I get the sense that Joe Devine is a prime example of white privilege, he consistently provides the bare minimum in terms of pre-contextual knowledge. Consistently interupping co-workers making intelligent points with trivial humour. Of course podcasts need timely humour, but what I feel Joe provides is self indulgent playground humour.
As someone who lived in Augsburg for a little while i take solace in that i am not the only one who is unable to pronounce it correctly. but i suppose you guys would be able to if you had lived there
These guys were on one this week….
I love this podcast the way it is
can y’all do a new podcast, that is just the banter from the intro, but 30 minutes
My biggest take away from this episode is that JJ Bull would quite like someone to bathe with him.
Surely this content cannot be allowed to end!… a bit like that third Lord of the Rings film, which just had about 10 different endings.
wow the guy with the glasses take on LoTR is just so ignorant in regards to all fiction. hes just lashing out at this point. Let him talk about football please hes much better at that
Don't stop this podcast.
John's Gandalf is more David Attenborough and JJ's Gollum is definitely Donald Duck
Dumb & Dumber = highly intelligent satire for adults, Shrek = kid's cartoon
This was the most tifo tifo have ever tifo'd
I miss Alex and Sebb
Shrek is much better
SHREK CLEARS ☝️😤
Shrek clears Dumb and Dumber
Please can you get an actual Lord of the Rings expert on the show? Joe seems to be making the most sense, which is unusual, but generally, everything said about Lord of the Rings is like 60% accurate.
Allen “Iversen” is a great tifo moment
How dare you Joe Devine, reading out the 1% of comments that are happy you are ending. Fake news.
Release that music at the end.
