And standing in for a holidaying Sebastian Stefford Bloor who's off tanning the top of his head somewhere.

It is from the athletic Alex Barker. Hello. Hi Alex, how are you? I'm very good, thank you. Thanks for joining us today. We've got so much on the docket. It's a thick and testy docket this week, people. Testy? It's testy. It's testing my patience with how thick it is. You know what I'm saying?

Or it's thick in a sort of testicle sense. I don't know what I'm saying. Anyway, the point is there's so much to get through today, including main topic. Manchester City. I'm just reading what in front of me.

Is this the season they finally don't win? The PL? That's a question we asked. Secondary topic.

Scotty too hearty. McDonnelly, he's bawling out in Naples. We talked about that. If we need

time to fill topic. Brighton. Oh, we didn't need time to fill. We didn't talk about Brighton. No,

no, no, no. We didn't talk about them. So, you know, save that for another time. And then Alex Topics, which actually were very interesting

and good, came towards later in the show. We talk about Monaco, top of Liga. We skipped

Frankfurt because we didn't have time for that bullshit. And instead, and instead, we talked

about Crystal Palace's disappointment, yeah?

Again, our hearts go out to everyone in the Pinder family.

Now, Ruben's the only member of the Pinder family who supports Crystal Pallas.

What?

Yeah, his dad's a man, you're not a fan.

I actually went for dinner at Shea Pinder this week, I said to Jack his dad That I would mention something that he said Oh, what was it that he said? He thinks that Manchester United Should feel three sitting midfielders That's what he said. Wow, he said that, did he? Sounds like a lunatic Now, anyway That's, is that what I say?

Is that everything?

That is it.
