Welcome to the Total Soccer Show and the Weekender, the episode where we preview some of the biggest clashes of the weekend.

And this week includes some massive derbies in London and Milan.

And we're going to send you off into the weekend with a little quiz, because that's what we like to do around these parts.

My name is Ryan Bailey joining me today.

Hello, Taylor Rockwell. How are you? I am splendid, my friend. I'm excited to do some

quizzing today. As always, spent way too long writing quiz questions. Hopefully it is worth it in the

end. Do you wear a specific hat, like a writing quiz hat while you write your questions?

I imagine it being jaunty. Yeah, it's a it's a fedora that has press on one side weirdly, but then also, yes, a giant feather on the other to really bring about the jauntiness. Excellent. I'd love to see it sometime. Let's get it on the Patreon. We've now made you just go buy a hat. Graham Ruffin, how are you? I'm good, Ryan, although I can't believe there's another club break into the, break up the international calendar. It's just, there's just too much club football, in my opinion. Like, it's, yeah, these domestic club breaks are very, uh, uh, yeah, they're extended quite a lot of the time. It's frustrating.

It's annoying.

I mean, genuinely, I am, I'll be going to Starlin Albion game this weekend

and the misery of that after the joy of this week.

Quite daunting.

We are basically the worst team in Scotland right now.

We're second bottom of the SBFL League 2 and the team team below us has had a points deduction. So we are quite literally the worst team in Scotland right now. Yay, can't wait for that. Cool, cool, cool, cool. But in all seriousness, the mood in your nation must be quite high this week. And that will carry you over to when you all have your communal meeting at Sterling album this weekend shortly.

We'll see. I mean, never underestimate how quickly the misery can retard. So I'll let you know

next week. If Scotland had an astronaut anthem, I'm sure that would be the refrain.

Joe Lowry, how are you? I'm great. I've been sitting here thinking about how difficult it is to

say quiz questions like five times fast.

Do you guys do those tongue twisters? Quick quiz questions. I can't even do it. I give up a failed. Oh for one. Taylor, can I have a bonus point out of pity? Maybe in advance of the quiz. Negative one for requesting a pity point. Always looking for the bonus points. Sorry, I'm out of here, hustle and Graham.

Sorry, I'm out here grinding.

If you are grinding, maybe your club team wouldn't suck so much.

I don't know.
