Thank you. Welcome to the total soccer show and our latest Champions League review.

In news that will shock absolutely no one, Bayern, PSG, Rinald and Manciti are all through to the quarterfinals.

But how did they do it?

Let's talk about it.

My name's Ryan Bailey, joining me to discuss the continental action returning

champion Taylor Rockwell. Hello, Taylor. Hello, Ryan. Who to thunk these plucky underdogs could find a way through? Shock of all shocks. I can hardly believe it. Can you hear my trepidation and excitement in the tone of my voice, Taylor? It's incredible. I love that you were the one who was like, let's make sure we start this with energy and enthusiasm and then you brought that crashing right back down.

I think I said it was energy. I said the predictability was in an energy field way. If I want to be positive, if I want to start the show on a positive note, Ryan, can I just say, I like the glasses. I noticed them on Monday. I was a fan of them on Monday. They continue to be present. I feel like they give you a sharp look. I'm enjoying them. Similar to Jamie Carragor rocking

glasses. It's a good look. That's kind of you to say, Taylor. They also give my screen a sharper

look when I'm looking at it. So that's great to hear. Also joining us, Taylor, Mr. Graham

Rutherland's here. Hello, Graham. Hello, Ryan. How are you? Any new stamps for your collection since we spoke yesterday? I'm still reeling from this revelation. And also your proof on the Patreon of your collection, sensational scenes. Did the stamp collection come with the glasses?

Yeah, they're intrinsically related, I think, Graham, frankly. Yes, Patreon.com slash total soccer show if you'd like access to my stamp collection now

because that was a what teased what trailer i know i'm gonna go ahead and mute myself i'll be back in a

couple minutes fellas all the predictable teams are through and you can look at some stamps that's the

headlines on today's total soccer show episode anyone would think we've run out of ideas

joe low low joe low hey guys i'm just over here while Taylor's looking at stamps. I'm looking at the Wikipedia link that Graham sent in our slack about the village that he grew up in. I'm learning about Roman ruins and all sorts of other fun things. Graham, this is delightful. Yeah, the school that I went to, true story, there was a Roman hospital underneath it, and they dug it up when I was at that school. Totally true. And they filmed Monty Python at Duncastle. Did they give you a shovel? Say, get in? We're digging? Yes, essentially slave labour. Yeah, we were part of the dig. Wow. Which Monty Python? Life of Brian? No, the Holy Grail.

Yeah, the Holy Grail would make much more sense, yeah. Rather than the one in the desert.

Yeah. Yeah. All right, Patreon.com slash total soccer show once again, if you'd like to support
