Welcome to the Total Soccer Show weekend where we look ahead to the weekend and the very best games therein, and we might send you off with a quiz.

My name's Ryan Bailey.

Hello, Taylor Rockwell. How are you?

I am doing very well, Ryan Bailey.

I am slightly nervous about this weekend, but excited for what's to come.

Nervous because you've got a big DIY project or soccer? Oh, actually, nervous because we are

supposed to get a giant blizzard and then ice storm on top of that, but also because

Manchester United riding high on the wind over Manchester City now play Arsenal, and that's its own

can of worms. Well, if the historically bad ice storm, which we're also getting Taylor, is as bad as advertised, we won't have electricity and won't be able to watch it anyway, so there is that. Carrick's cat. I won't have to know the scores or I won't know how it played out. Indeed, tree falling in the woods, etc. And so on. Graham, Rutheram, hello. Hello, Ryan Bailey. What is the level of kind of neighbourhoods,

does the neighbourhood watch do anything for the A-storm? Does anyone gritting the roads or,

because nobody does that round here, despite the fact there's big salt buckets.

We, uh, I could do it, but I expect someone else to do it and nobody has obliged yet.

So basically here in the Carolinas, things grind to a halt because they don't grit the roads as much as they do in the north.

So it makes driving very difficult because they tend not to have this kind of weather very often.

But our HOA, our housing association, sent us an email.

They never email us, but they sent us one this week telling us to like,

turn off your taps and make sure your house is heated appropriately. And if you're away, then your house won't be there when you come back. That kind of stuff. Well, they only sent that to you, Ryan, because they're still in a half after your party. Yeah. Yeah, New Year's Eve, your Christmas party. Oh, they didn't even send it to me, and they never forward it to me. I'm not knocking me They're going to salt every part of the road and the pavements around your house

and they'll it to me. I'm not in their communication. They're going to salt every part of the road in the pavements around your house. They'll get ice rink in your drive. They are very salty. Joe Lowry, hello. Ice rink in the drive sounds amazing. Like, I'm generally against weather chat on podcasts, because we have other more interesting things to talk about. But ice rink has lured me right back in. Like that is just such a delight. I'm jealous as a desert dweller. I think if that was what I could get out of angering R-H-O-A, I would do it in a heartbeat. Ice-R-R-R-R-Peed in a heartbeat. That's good. That's good. That's a band that Mouse Rat would happily swap their name for. Good double-header.

You're definitely right.

Very good.
