| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Total Soccer's Weekend |
| 0:05.8 | Welcome to the Total Soccer Show's weekend review. |
| 0:24.0 | Sunderland fans had plenty of reasons to cheer when they won the derby of the Tyne and Weir. |
| 0:29.4 | Imagine at the start of the season telling Black Cat's fans after this duel, they'd be even on points with Liverpool. |
| 0:36.4 | And speaking of the Reds, their game had an unexpected twist when Moselah came on and |
| 0:41.3 | bagged an assist. |
| 0:42.6 | Elsewhere, Man City are playing at their peak. |
| 0:45.0 | Tottenham abat again this week, Astinville continued their winning streak and Arsenal's |
| 0:49.6 | win was a little bit meek. |
| 0:51.4 | And on the continent, Byrne left it late to prevent a loss, and Chabby Alonzo is still, for now, Real Madrid boss. My name's Ryan Bailey. Hello, the Taylor Rockwell. How are you? I am well, the Ryan Bailey. I'm better than a few different coaches in Europe, including Wilfred Nante or Nancy, or Nancy. How were we supposed to do that one? Or Sacked? Who is, who is angrier right now or who is under more criticism right now? Eddie Howe or Thomas Frank? Thomas Frank? Graham? Graham, nods. Graham nods. All right, cool. Making sure. But it seems unfair. He seems like such a nice guy, Thomas Frank, with his, he's got nice hair. You can't be too critical of someone with nice hair, as my ethos. It's funny how no matter what, whatever is your strong point will eventually come back to be your weak point, because I enjoyed all the Tottenham supporters I saw in the comments and on Reddit being like, you can break down tactics expertly, but you can't even get him to kick the ball. |
| 2:00.8 | Like, it's very, it's very like, no matter what, eventually the thing you're good at will be used to beat you about the head, I think. Yeah. I think Spurs, they don't mind defeat. They just want a better defeat. The ones they've been having lately, I think is the... They had that. They had that with the last guy. They did. Hello, Graham Rutherman. |
| 2:01.6 | How are you? |
| 2:03.3 | Have you been in England this weekend? |
| 2:18.5 | And did you see any Man United players? Hello, Ryan Bailey. I'm very well. I'm a little bit sore from having my pockets emptied on the name of making your child happy at Christmas time. It's the most wonderful time of the year, don't you know? And old Slabhead himself, who I ran into in Manchester. Is that what you call Santa? Yeah. We've been talking about UK dialect in UK. |
| 2:26.0 | UK terms for Father Christmas slash Santa Claus. Yeah, there's a certain part of Scotland where I grew up |
| 2:30.5 | and that's what we call him Slabhead. Yeah. Wait, so you've been to Harry McGuire, say more? There's not much more to say he was at this thing. I was at called Lapland, UK, which genuinely was quite amazing, sort of like this immersive, sort of like Disney theme park experience. And he was in the group. You've got like a group that you go round in, and he was in the group that we were in. So I didn't muster the courage to talk to him. He was with his family. I just thought he didn't want that. But yeah, he was in a group. How similar does he look to Aaron McGuire on television? Like is the head that responded in person? It was actually Lucy who spotted him first, which tells you a lot about how distinctive |
| 3:08.3 | person he is. Yeah, the slabhead was strong. |
| 3:13.1 | Graeme, does he have kids or did his parents take him and he sat on Santa Day? |
| 3:17.9 | That's it, yeah. For Christmas, I want a back four. |
| 3:23.3 | And then, Graham, what was the approach? approach so you get there they turn you upside down |
| 3:26.8 | they give you a good shake whatever falls out is theirs |
| 3:29.0 | and then you get to go see Santa slash Father Christmas |
