Welcome to the Total Soccer Show. It's time to glow up, throw on your finest size nines, and please join us on the red carpet for our annual awards. Yes, in today's ceremony, we're handing out totes. Yes, I'm calling them totes, nothing you can do about it. For the best player of the season, the goal of the season, the best signing, the best match, the funniest moment, our 11th of the season, and much, much more. My name's Ryan Bailey joining me in his finest livery. It's Taylor Rockwell. Hello, Taylor.

for us as well, right? Yeah, yeah, they're all coming later. Yep. Yep. You've been trawling a

cameo for weeks. Yeah, we've got that level of production value here, definitely. Just why to check,

yeah. We do have one superstar though. Joe Lowry's here. Hi, Joe.

Oh, hello. I'll happily do a video for you, Graham. Anytime, just like we're all trying to band together, pulling our cash to get Georgia O'Keeleeney to do one for Ryan. Do you want up to call, Joe? Is that what you want right now? We only just started. Are you serious? I mean, if that's what you want. All right.
