Hello Philip how are you? I'm tremendous how are you? I'm not too bad. Thank you.

Good good good. I'm recovering from a, well recovering, I'm sort of basking in a really

interesting footballing weekend that I enjoyed here in Madrid. I saw the two ends of the spectrum, the footballing spectrum that Madrid has to offer

because on Saturday I went to a box at the shiny new Bernabeau with beautiful hospitality wonderful environment to watch football

and then on Sunday I went to Vayekas for a restricted view seat for Rio against Almaria. There really was the Yin and the Yang of football in

Madrid in perfect harmony. So that was my view. Yeah, I was expecting to see you of E

Echres but you didn't come you left me to go. I know I left you. I am sorry about that.

Yes. I I I figured that. I figured that the I figure the the

Seville game was was was was kind of more important although with hindsight I'm not

sure how important it really was. What did I say to you? Nothing important, yes you did, yes. Because dear

listener, after match day 34, it very much looks like basically everything has been finalized in La Liga. We know who are

champions, that's for El Madrid, we know who's gonna be playing in the Champions League,

we know who's gonna be playing in the European competitions and we almost

certainly know who's going down. So more or less everything is not to play for, but still

you should very much listen to us talking about Spanish football for the next few weeks.
