Joe Devine, JJ Bull and Jon Mackenzie are here to talk about some football.

For the first show of 2023 the boys start, unexpectedly, with Southampton.

The Athletic’s Southampton reporter Jacob Tanswell joins us to give all of the insight. Will Southampton sink without a trace on the South Coast? Is the new owner's long term plan working?

Manchester United have a 100% winning record since the post World Cup, and at the time of recording before anyone goes near the comments in like five weeks time.

Has Erik Ten Hag started to get the fear back into the Red Devils? And would a big man up top make them even better? 

Plus, Chelsea are facing an uncomfortable transition from their short term habits to longer term planning. But will they hold their nerve and keep Graham Potter?

Finally, Haaland is great, but are Manchester City better without him? This is discussed and quickly dismissed, but it’s a good ol’ chat. 

The Tifo Football Podcast is presented by Joe Devine and produced by Steve Hankey.
