Welcome to the Total Soccer Show weekend review.

Arsenal lost their first home game in the season,

and Matthias Cunia's epic strike was the reason.

It was another win for Michael Carrick to saver,

and in the title race it did their Neighbors Man City quite a big favour.

But that might not have been the best three-two result of the round as Liverpool. And in the title race, it did their Neighbors Man City quite a big favour.

But that might not have been the best three-two result of the round,

as Liverpool lost a great game at Bournemouth's ground.

Spurs and Palace got results they likely hated,

and West Ham saw their survival mode activated.

Elsewhere, Killian and Bapi showed us how a Penenka is done.

Barcelona were scoring goals for fun. Juventus, they're doing just fine. And by Munich lost at home. Achne! My name's Ryan Bealey. Joining me today, hello, Taylor Rockwell. Hello, Ryan Bailey. Which thing was more surprising to you? Manchester United winning or Byron losing? Yes. No way. There's a clear answer to that, right? Surely there is. I think it's going to be Byron losing the Bavarian Derby at home to Alpsburg. I would say yes, Taylor. Sure. Surely. All right. I just wanted to make sure that we got Joe talking about Manchester United, bright and early, and often throughout this episode. I'm very excited. I know you all are too. There we go. We can get into England's proud coaching tradition, which begins and ends with Michael Carrick. We'll get there shortly. Hello, John How are you? Hey, Ryan, I'm doing great. Taylor, Taylor waved to me the intro. I waved back. We've got a great camaraderie thing going on on this show. I'm just, I'm so happy to be here, fellas. This is great. Good. Hope you're watching along on YouTube.

This is great.

Good. Hope you're watching along on YouTube. DeLisle, the link in show notes. So you can experience that wave firsthand. Wonderful stuff. We remain snowed in over here. That is my mother-in-law and my two daughters outside playing in the snow slash cleaning the car slash waving to me over and over again saying hi dad-da and when I don't say hello back there is anger and tears so there will be more waving throughout this episode I suspect

I'll be ready I've got to say Taylor a snowstorm is an odd time to choose to clean the car

well you marry an ortherner they're just always scraping the car even in like degree weather, they're always making sure it's clear of snow just in case.

Fair enough. Dear listener, we hope you didn't come off too badly from the snowstorm over the weekend. We here in Charlotte haven't done too badly. It's just frozen water everywhere. It's going to be difficult to drive for the next few days.

Hello, Graham Ruffman. How are you? I'm good, Ryan Bailey. I was slightly distracted during your intro by Taylor and Joe's wave, and I'm now working on a theory. Joe's on a different YouTube viewers will know. Joe's in a different setting today. And so I can't rule out Joe is actually sitting opposite Taylor and he might actually be cleaning the car and the snowstorm. Get to it, Joe. Come on. We can hold hands, Taylor.

If you just, if you just, if I can't rule out, Joe is actually sitting opposite, Taylor, and he might actually be cleaning the car in the snowstorm.

Get to it, Joe. Come on. We can hold hands, Taylor, if you just reach out your hand. No, I am in Mexico today on a sort of working vacation, not in Richmond, Virginia, or am I actually in Richmond, Virginia? The world will never know. Well, you guys will know because I was telling the truth, but nobody else will know. Wonderful stuff.

Excellent.

Look at us
