Welcome to the Total Soccer Show weekend review.

This weekend a big question swept the nation without Bruno Fernandez.

Would Man United be up for relegation?

Man City meanwhile went to Nottingham and felt the squeeze

when they couldn't see the forest for the trees.

And in London, Chelsea got the win and might be getting calmer, but the world might be about to end. We had a missed penalty from Cole Palmer. In Spain, the title race remains tight, Atletti lost after Korea's red card, which wasn't very bright. In Germany, Bynne were defeated. But at what cost? Well, not too much because Levecousson also lost. And in Italy,

we had some amazing circumstances. Both Milan teams were two-nil down, both got three points after

taking their chances. My name's Ryan Bailey. Joining me today, your friend, my friend, Taylor Rockwell,

hello, Taylor, I should take a breath now and then, here we are. Yeah, I always had that

problem with the rhyming introductions. You handle it better than I. It was a very strange weekend. Cole Palmer misses the pen. Byron missed a pen and their loss. As you said, Leverkusen lost as well. City lost, Atlantico lost. Very, very strange weekend on the whole, I have to say. We framed it very negatively. We should have said all these smaller teams won against big ones.

Maybe that would be the better way to... That's probably the better way. All the legions of Bocham fans out there are furious at this introduction. The Bochum Legion, indeed. Graham Rutheran's here, Graham, to go back to positivity, is it the end of days that Cole Palmer missed a penalty? No chippy chips. That for Cole Palmer, he'll be absolutely gutted.

I mean, is he absolutely gutted? Does he have human emotions like the rest of us? I'm unsure. But yes, it was certainly notable that he did not score a penalty. For the first time in his career, my fantasy team paid for that. I know that's the update you were looking for, right? that is the biggest disappointment out of the entire weekend that your fantasy team suffered because of that

not a badly

taking penalty i would say but uh that was a great sieve it was a tremendous sieve

wasn't indeed didn't go in

that was that was cole bummer's breakdown afterwards i thought it was a really

really useful insight from from the penalty taker himself.
