Welcome to the total soccer show and our review of a game between the 16th and 17th best teams in the Premier League,

which lived up to the billing of a game between the 16th and 17th best teams in the Premier League.

Yes, Tottenham ended their 17-year wait for a trophy beating Manchester United 1-0 in the Europa League. Yes, Tottenham ended their 17-year wait for a trophy

beating Manchester United 1-0 in the Europa League final

with Brennan Johnson apparently being awarded the goal

that made the difference.

And Poster Coglu told us he always delivers a trophy

in his second season, and he was right.

Stick with us as we go into detail on this game and look what's next for both of these clubs. My name's Ryan Bailey joining me today. It's our shiny, happy fellow Taylor. Rollcoe, hello, Taylor. Hello, Ryan. Lovely to be here with you all. What a fun game this was, huh? No, not at all, a painful game that we all had to suffer through. Yep, that's about right. But congratulations to Tottenham, to Spurs fans. I would say the deserved winners. I think they played the better of the two games, though that's not really saying all that much because I agree with you, Ryan, at the end of the day. My main note for this one was, this looks like a cup final between the 16th and 17 best teams in a league

there we go a very dignified response from you taylor as a manchester united family oh the rage is there

oh good i was boiling under good good good good here excellent uh graham ruffin how are you do you have any

rage boiling anywhere oh always it's a day ending and. I think smiling Taylor, rageful smiling Taylor, is

slightly unnerving, actually. It's the general from Death of Stalin. I'm smiling, but I'm

very, very furious. And with good calls, Joe Lowry. Hello, sir. How are you? Hey, guys, I'm great. I'm just happy to be here. I was thinking about taking this show off. It's just been a busy stretch for me with my other stuff, my other thing. So I was thinking about skipping all this and just really maybe leaving for the whole summer and coming back some time in the fall. I don't know. I decided not to just because I thought it would be more useful for me to be here and gel with the group. But, you know, each their own. Very nice. Hard season for Joe. He needs to rest up along with him with Eunice Musa as well, the two of them together. Guys, when I said bubble wrap theory, I didn't mean now. That's really what I'm saying. I sense that Joe Lowry's crossing streams into a different news story here. Nah. Wouldn't be me. Certainly not. Couldn't do. Haven't heard her potters presser yet, so I'm trying to hedge still, you know? I like Joe, like five minutes into the episode already being over the Manchester United talk and ready to move

us on.

Literally an introduction.

And probably appropriate.

Well, perhaps Joe Lowry will have an appropriate forum to talk about whatever you're

talking about there, which is pertaining to the USM&T, on our bonus feed.

A please and a thank you. But for now, let's get right into the Europa League final. Okay. Graham, you want to kick off here? Not a good game. I think it's fair to say. I'd say it's pretty marginal the result here. Pretty marginal win for Spurs. The United had their chances too. Hoyland, of course, with that chance late on that was acrobatically cleared by Mickey Vander then. Yes. It was a strange one for Big Ange and those who've watched his oove, a develop at Tottenham, because he was kind of, you know, doing something a little bit different, is it fair to say? Or he was showing that there is a plan B, I suppose. He was, you know, getting the team to bunker down and protect a lead after being, you know, getting a reputation for not doing that at all.

So is this evolution? Is this what this is? I mean, potentially this is the discussion with
