I'm Gabby Jules Gray and Rainy Skies over West London possibly because there's no league

0:10.6

football this weekend, probably.

0:14.2

Alright Jules, we still have a ton of stuff for you to talk about on this show always.

0:18.7

Lukaku, Ternapoli, to Harry McWire, wow that's like getting people to join.

0:22.8

No, don't worry, we got Lena, Messi, we got Jules Feet, so a ton of things to talk about.
