Hello,

Hello, everybody, and welcome to the Total Soccer Show.

My name is Taylor Rockwell and I am very excited to be here to do some weekend reviewing.

In the F.A. Cup quarterfinals, we had goals galore with struggling underdogs failing to keep pace.

And that's just City Liverpool, where the visitors

comprehensively fell on their collective face.

Holland scored a hat trick, Pat was on his phone, and Arnest Lot's DMs would prefer to just be left

alone.

Southampton pulled off the surprise of the round, scoring twice to Best Arsenal on the St. Mary's

ground, two games and two eliminations from McKell Arteta's side. Ben White, taking the afternoon off, did not help arrest their

slight slide. Chelsea blasted Port Vale for seven straight goals. While Leeds showed West Ham's

defending, fun new holes. But the hammers pulled back too late in stoppage time before a penalty

shootout arrested their climb.

In Germany, Byron things were did, as they were for Inter in Italy and Barsa in Madrid.

Chalonolo hit a screamer, Levantowski, a peck, neither ended the day a loser, which is also a song by Beck.

But for title drama, it's true.

There's no greater production than up there in Scotland, so says our Fram, Graham Ruthfin. Hello, Graham. Hello, Taylor Rockwell. It's good to have you back. I presume you've taken the last week to prepare for this episode and to prepare for this introduction, because that was quite the Ryan Bailey impression. Don't tell him I said this. That might even have been better than a Ryan Bailey special. Don't tell him.

He doesn't list to these anyway. But that's also very generous of you, given that the end there, I could not rhyme anything. So ended up rhyming peck with Beck and shoehorting that one in entirely. I like a bit of Beck, so. Yeah, see? There we go. Well, buckle up for this one. And with Ryan Bailey absent, the eternal question is answered.

Who has the power?

We. And that definitely wasn't just a clumsy way to find a rhyme for Joe Laudrie. Hi, Joe. Wow. I mean, I woke up today thinking, who has the power? We! And I couldn't think about why that was going to be the case. And then I realized I'm going to be on the show today. We're back. It's a Monday. Today feels really, really great. Taylor, I'm glad that you are back on the show. This was a fun weekend, and Taylor doing the introduction always makes me happy because you do such a good job. There was a moment where you said something about Byron things were did, and then you rhymed it expertly in the next phrase, and I was like, Where's he going with this? Flawless. No notes. Love it. I also tend to write these and forget to read them again, so sometimes I forget where I'm going with them. And very kind of you to once again say that those were well done, as opposed to me realizing that I think I've rhymed you with flowery multiple times now. There's a few other ones that I've gone for. But not a lot of it was we and Lowry yeah there's not that many options I feel like in the grand scheme of things I don't have rhyme zone open like like Ryan does so maybe there are I enjoy it there is definitely a vibe shift Taylor between yours and Ryan's it's different like Ryan's are maybe a little bit more like conventional oasis sort of and Viewers are a bit more kind of like, I don't know, Alex Turner, Arctic Monkeys, kind of like meandering like a bit of a, I think Alex Turner's the best lyricist of the 24th century, so take it as a compliment. There you go. Now I do. Thank you. Graham, how can you say that when Taylor's coming up with stuff like that? Well, until now, I thought that.

I thought that.

He's now number one.
