Joe Devine, JJ Bull, Jon Mackenzie and Seb Stafford-Bloor are here to talk about some football.
This special live episode of the Tifo Football podcast was recorded at the Leicester Square Theatre in fair old London town.
We discussed the upcoming Champions League final, who our Premier League manager of the season is and some other bits about the campaign.
In the second half we take some, heavily filtered, questions from the audience.
Plus there are a few very special guest appearances…
This episode of the Tifo football podcast is presented by Joe Devine and produced by Steve Hankey.

You're well aware of the fact that many people don't want the podcast to end, but I just wanted to thank you all for the wonderful memories. Now, I just need to find something to fill the hole in my heart.
they are starting a new format
@FOOTIATOR Joe and jj don't come to the podcast anymore so yeah its current format is dying wich is a shame
@@virtuelegamer19 why is that?? Joe is funny
@@FOOTIATORnot really interested in interviews with just one of them (Jon) featuring heavily
I’d say have a donut, but they’d just remind you of the hole.
After listening to this podcast for a while, I've long held a belief that Joe would be great at stand up comedy. The moment he walked on the stage, I realized I was right.
getting big stewart lee vibes from the intro
@@THEGOBBLERmoi8 down to the voice an intonation as well!
There are Stewart Lee references dotted all over the place throughout their podcasts over the years. They're definitely fans.
The podcast has let itself go though ☹️
@@THEGOBBLERmoi8 Yes I thought the same thing. Especially when he said that if there were certain things they didn't find funny or interesting, that it would be their own fault. I had the pleasure of seeing Stewart Lee on the warm up tour of his tornado/snowflake show back in 2020. I met him after the show and told him that I didn't agree, but that I laughed the hell out of it.
@@dislecsyk991 There was one episode I recall where JJ told an anecdote about meeting Stewart Lee in a pub and offering to buy him a drink because he's a big fan, to which Stewart just said no and walked off.
Joe's shenanigans, JJ's idiosyncrasies, the goblin king's underlying numbers, Seb's gates. This podcast was my go to for two years, and although I am sad it is ending, I am looking forward for the new format. I have been watching Tifo content since the Umaxit days, and I intend to continue supporting them.
Man I forgot about Umaxit!
Very well put! I joined in 2019, what does Umaxit mean? It sounds like the process by which the United Kingdom leaves Uma Thurman.
What’s the new format exactly?
@@rory4605 It's TIFO's old/original name from years ago
Seeing Alex Stewart made me so happy 😊
spoiler alert
@@DanielS10291 He's in the intro screen
@@bri1085 im blind
Too much tugging
Getting absolutely roasted by Joe Devine at the beginning of the show was an unexpected dream come through! Was great chatting to a few of the guys after the show well worth the flight home the next morning!
Damn where'd you fly out from?
Going to miss the Joe Devine experience
His charisma is unmatched. I hope he continues doing something in some form
@@blazo8700 i heard he’s considering running for prime minister
@@DanielS10291 he's got stage presence for it for sure. 😅
Is he leaving Tifo? I'm sorry. I haven't been catching up with the podcasts lately because I don't want it to be over. 😢
What is the new format going to be like?
@@tonightsbigloser hes going off to follow his dreams elsewhere
I'm so happy to see Alex again, this event was the perfect way to send off this version of the podcast
what does the new version look like?
@@vinayakasrinivas4240
Jon Mackenzie interviewing people
He gave a truely authentic alex experience by saying very little for most of the podcast. But somehow he was always my favourite. Quality over quantity I guess
Joe genuinely could do standup. Such a crazy stage presence
Yep he gives comedy club vibes. 😅😅
He really should. This performance and crowd work was unreal
almost cried laughing at the bits of Seb's private school
John absolutely crushed it at this show. I wasn't his biggest fan at the beginning because his humour didn't always land for me, but he's turned into a favourite. Looking forward to him taking the podcast forward - I hope he maintains some of the goofiness he's developed alongside his serious football analysis.
I was the same, some of it just didn’t make sense. But after time it all not making sense makes complete sense lmqo
He's clueless and arrogant.
@@clivet3252 I think you're meant to say he's bald too, to get the trifecta of useless whinging
@@HerrCron yes, that too
Man I did not expect to feel sad from seeing a notification from a podcast but after years of watching you guys its sad to see this podcast end (in this format)
Thank you for all the years of analysis
1 hunna
Joe was in his absolute element in that intro😂 The man really is just a comedian running a podcast that occasionally talks about football.
Yep the comedy club football talk show. 😅😅
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
It was amazing to be there in the audience. 7 hour round trip in a day to see this! Absolutely worth it. Was great to chat to you all afterwards as well! The podcast will be sorely missed but I'm really excited for things to come! Cheers, Harry.
This is like the Overlap but fucking hilarious - can you not just keep these pods up even once a month? I don't think I can handle not having this comedy in my life anymore - you guys are genuinely hilarious.
How is Gary Neville interviewing a sportsman like a bunch of manic tactics boys banging on about football with a host who has a rubbery face?
Joe is doing Stewart Lee as he talks at the start. I know he said he was a fan, but he really is doing a good impression!
Glad I'm not the only one that noticed aha
They also nicked Lee's "reading comments out to bossa-nova music" bit as well. Or an homage, as more generous people might say.
Was listening to this on Spotify and my immediate first thought was "Joe Devine with a captive audience in a closed space *OH NOOOOOOOOOO* "
It sounds like Joe is at the comedy club. 😅😅😅
This type of live show should be monthly.
The live show format sounds like something out of the comedy club. 😅😅😅
I really hope this format of the poscast comes back for the post-game livestreams after major tournaments. They're always class!
Points are bad, they’re really really bad
Joe Devine is the genius, he combines the world of common-man casuals and stat peddling football nerds. He is actually knowledgeable (Football) as well.
Will miss the current format.
Please make Tifo live an annual event
I was there and it was absolutely amazing.
There’s little I could add that hasn’t already been said better by other commenters.
Thanks for all of the great content throughout the years, and especially for recording the last episode in front of an audience.
And contrary to Joe’s running gag, seeing you live was not only worth the price of admission, but also well worth making the round trip from Germany.
Besides, you can’t put a price on bearing witness to SERIOUS FOOTBALL ANALYSIS in person!
Wishing everyone all the best and looking forward to the new format.
P.S. How long do we have to wait before we can start campaigning for a reunion show?
Lovely to have Hodgson make a surprise guest appearance
Thank you for the past few years. You've managed to talk about football in a way that is both insightful and entertaining. Can't wait to see what you do next, excited for Jon's podcast, but also hope that in 2 or 3 years time you feel like coming back and doing this again.
The moment when Roy Hodson turned in to Alan Smith was my favourite 😅
aussie roy
I really didn't expect that they would be recording and releasing the live shows, so this was a very nice surprise. Thank you for the many years of great podcasts, looking forward to the new format and the sensible transfer podcasts in the meantime.
JJ is an absolute natural in this environment
I lost my leg and in hospital for 3 months. Got to know you guys due to boredom and I can honestly say one of the best flukes I ever had. Cheers lads
Thank you so much for the memories boys. This is not a goodbye, but see you soon.
Thank you all , of course plus Alex for bringing an hundreds of hours of football and out of context pressure to us all. Wishing you all the best 👍
This was awesome. Best of luck to Steve and Joe, and am so looking forward to the new format with Jon. It's been a wild ride, here's to the future! Also, brilliant to see Alex again- hope he comes back occasionally for the new show.
The song "did you ever know that you're my hero" is actually inspired by JJ Bull.
I love you guys and thanks for bringing Alex as a guest, very cool to see him again.
Thank you to each and every one of you who has been on the podcast, and the hundreds of hours of entertainment you've all brought to us. I know it's not going anywhere and it's just changing, but this version of the podcast has been my favourite bit of football media for a couple of years now
It's very worth noting that the Nazi jokes went on for like 10m and was truly hilarious. Such an fun night that was kinda lax on the footballing side but a great sendoff to the podcast (in this form I guess)
Also super impressed by the number of West Ham fans who chose to attend this instead of watching their own club win a European trophy 😆
@@haydarali6249 they only missed the first half!
@@Peter-jt3de i assumed it wouldve taken a bit to get home/to a pub playing it that wasnt full but i guess they have phones
Joe embracing his inner Stewart Lee here at the start - definite career in standup beckoning
I don't know about the rest of the listeners/ viewers but it's rare for me to see something that is actually good and goes out at its peak, and I'm both sad and happy for it. Wish everyone of you big success and happiness. You made watching football more fun.
Is Joe wearing a "more dunkey" shirt? Didn't know he was such a big fan of Dunkey. 1:20:00
Was so fun being here. Felt like a stand-up football show!
Yep there was some women in the crowd. Even they think the Tifo Football podcast is funny. 😅😅
JJ was on fire in this
I will miss Joe a lot. This was never a football podcast first, but a comedy one first. Loved the whole vibe. Hope Joe brings something back in the same vein in the future.
I was so hyped to see Alex in the intro.
Thank you for these years of the podcast, i've followed the channel for about 3 years i think. Of course that'll continue.
Can any live audience members tell us what seb's comment was that was cut? Am dying to know, it's the last piece Tifo trivia I need before the pod ends
As someone who just discovered this podcast in the last month, I'm really gutted it's going away.
Damn I guess watch the previous ones.
The intro music brought me back to the lockdown when I discovered Tifo. Thanks for the memories 🎉
Joe Devine could get his own Netflix special
I couldn't look at the social media posts because they genuinely got me quite emotional that I couldn't be there for the final show of a podcast that has genuinely been there for me through thick and thin. Although non-substitutable for the real thing, this will certainly give me closure for a podcast that will always hold a special place in my heart x
So long as you keep the curiously warm and soothing end title music on the new podcast, I'll be happy. Something about that silly little tune makes me go warm and fuzzy!
Very happy to see Joe do a bare faced Stewart Lee rip off at the beginning there, and I genuinely mean that with love. In terms of "poor man's Stewart Lee", Joe is immediately in at number 1, and Ricky Gervais is still failing to get off the bottom.
Also, I'm irrationally happy that Alex came back for the end. Alex was always my favourite Tifo guy, and not just because he was the only nail varnish wearing football discusser I'd ever seen on my TV (i watch TH-cam on my TV because it makes all the just normal people I watch talking about various stuff feel more proper) and it made me feel less alone.
I also enjoy everyone else, you've been the least tedious football analysis people to watch for a few years now, neither po-faced nor trying too hard to be funny, whilst also providing the kind of analysis that you don't even get on TV anymore. So thanks to you all for being entertaining and informative for the last few years.
I'm still annoyed youre scrapping the weekly podcast though
JJ and Joe are both hilarious. Alex Stewart is my hero. That is all.
Good to see Producer Steve in the flesh, so good of Iian Macintosh to let him get out and about.
Going to miss this podcast! And my god how I have missed Alex. Thanks for all the great hours of listening
I've watched every episode since the pandemic. It's been a joy hearing the podcast as I went about my day. Am gutted to see this version go. Sad it's ending but happy it happened. Thank you Tifo
I only discovered the pod last year but I grew to be a huge fan. I am going to miss it so much. Thank you for the memories, guys.
Unreal podcast, it’s been a wild and wonderful journey. I’ll miss it but I’m so thankful to have enjoyed countless pods listening to you beans waffle
The return of the King Alex
Very kind of you to upload this
What a fantastic show, and what a way to end the pod. Joe's personality really shun through in this setting.
Loved the pod, got me back into football after years of disinterest
Thanks a lot guys! As a long time listener I'm really gonna miss the podcast. Any advice on what else to listen on my drive to work? Also, remember the tifo football show and how it's coming back in the future for sure?
and thus ends one of the best podcasts on youtube. Au revoir Tifo Football Podcast
Thank you all for the podcast. Wish you the best of luck in your future endeavours.
Joe Devine - a quality master or ceremonies
i hope he will be successful in whatever it is he's moving on to do
I was so happy when Joe done the intro and everyone cheered ❤ these lads could sell two shows a week all year I reckon. Long live the tifo football podcast
I sincerely enjoyed this - really surprised by Joe's stage présence, I'm sure his confidence and ability to control the room helped everyone else vibe and rif as much as they did.
Had a great time even though I wasn't there.
Love from NYC.
Love you all guys. Thanks for everything and keep on truckin'
It's the end of an era 😢 Thank you all for this podcast (in this format). I've looked forward to hearing from Joe, JJ, Alex, Seb, and more recently John and Ruben every Tuesday for the past 4 years. It was sad when Alex left and doubly so now that Joe, JJ, and Seb are leaving as pod regulars 😫 I hope we get to see each of you in the new format often. Your presence will be missed! Hopefully, John can maintain a bit of that unhinged spirit that permeated the podcast over the years. Thank you for this truly special podcast! 🥲
Does anyone who was there, know what Seb said, that was cut out?
@@Antonio-hb8rd Well when your serious football analyst is a Nazi, it comes with the territory presumably!
In a theater of tifo listeners, only around 7 of them are subscribed to the athletic 😅
God I’m going to miss this! The pods one the things I look forward to the most every week. Thanks lads!
Been listening since the beginning - what a journey it's been. Tifo was truly a driving reason in my love for the game growing.
For those of you who missed it, please go listen to the old episodes with Alex and Seb.
There will never be another pod like Tifo. Was a pleasure listening Gents. Enjoy what comes next!
That was good stuff from start to end.
Thanks for the great moments over the years.
I will miss Joe's stares into the camera ^^
The real Tifo Football Podcast was the friends we made along the way.
Thanks for the amazing Podcast! I am filled with great memories! You guys are bloody amazing
I hope we get to see more of all of you. Alex, thanks for dropping by man. I really want to see you talking about Southampton and what's in store for them. If you read this, make it happen please
Thank you guys for a wonderful podcast. As it was absurd sometime as it was enjoyable at the same time. Loved it! Thanks a lot!
I hope I’m not too late to say thank you! Loved the original podcast and excited for what’s to come
Here to add to the positive comments. Y'all do a wonderful job mixing "serious football analysis" with my favorite flavor of humor, as much as my American opinion may not be wanted
There’s one thing Analytics can’t capture and that is: Mentality. Which is a big factor in if a player will succeed once start earning more money
This was simply, and wonderfully, hilarious. Well done, guys, and thank you all! 👏👏👏👏👏
Talk about going out with a bang! What a brilliant show. Thank you for the years of entertainment
Joe channelling Stewart Lee at the start, it's beautiful
thank you for doing this podcast. It enriched my everyday life. I look forward to the new.
Truly a 10/10 podcast, will miss it!
First time ive seen Joe standing tbf
i wasnt sure he could
Didn't think he had legs either.
everyone in the comments have said it already but I'm so so glad I discovered you when I did. Absolutel god send during the pandemic. You'll be missed !! ROONEY!!!
Im so happy and sad at the same time. Will miss the regular podcast, it was so fun to listen to during covid
tell me this really isnt the end, if there is one football podcast that needs to continue its this one. Come back we love you really even Ed Milibands younger brother
I’m laughing more often than not listening to the podcast. Will continue watching all the content still thanks for all the laughs
Not a single mention of rings, eagles or hobbits. I call that progress.
Great to see Alex Stewart. Interesting discussion around a goal keeper and a striker, as a Leeds fan im surprised jon didn't go for sorting out the defence and goalkeeper before the forwards, he will remember the great O'Leary team succeeded off the back of george Graham before him sorting out the defence and goalkeeper and we were able to build some success off the back of that
Brilliant show by the way looking forward to what the next step holds
What Alex said about goalies/defence vs attackers is exactly what went wrong for Leicester this year but the exact opposite is what went wrong for Chelsea.
Love that JJ wore his Aberdeen top. Mon ih dons!
JJ is a gem 😂😂
Messi, Suarez and Busquets just multiplied the prices of Inter Miami tickets by 15😂
it went from average 25$ to 489 cheapest ticket and they all sold out.
I literally paid 44$ for 6 tickets a week ago. I think it does not matter what Messi would do, there would always be a backlash "He should have done this and that" but cool thing about being a real person, you do whatever you think is best for you, so good for him, bad for people who can't afford to buy tickets now
The podcast won't be the same without Joe! 😭
Thanks for the memories. ⚽️
JJ running off stage was the funniest moment in Tifo podcast history
This is better than the live show I was at the night before!!!
Do you know if they recorded that one aswell ?
@@Benito264 they didnt I think
Now THAT was some f***king FLUTING!! That live sound… WOW!! I guess I will go ahead and Like, but as far as subscribing, I’m just not there yet. Please respect that.
Sad to see the podcast go in this format, is this something you guys would consider doing now and again like a Christmas special/end of season special? Super send off and look forward to seeing what John has in store with the new format!
hello from a woman - in the US, take that analytics! will miss the TIFO podcast…..you all have a place in my footballing heart ❤
Don't be sad that is gone, be glad that it happens 😊
