JJ Bull, Jon Mackenzie and Reuben Pinder are here to talk about some football.

Newcastle United were the surprise package in the top four this season. But how will they evolve tactically?

We react LIVE to the news that Mauricio Pochettino has been confirmed as Chelsea’s latest manager.

Leeds United and Leicester City join Southampton in relegation from the Premier League. We rake over the coals of a terrible season for two teams with names beginning with L.

As Europe’s biggest leagues also draw to a close we go on a quick jaunt across the continent to see what’s what.

And there’s discussion on rhinos as a present for the Pope, dragons, pirates and the Green Giant.

This episode of the Tifo football podcast is presented by JJ Bull produced by Steve Hankey.
