He's having a blinder. He's clipped the post. He's looking formidable. Then...

The Welcome to the Total Soccer show and a very special edition of the show, our end of European season awards.

Woo, fanfare.

We'll be looking back at the best games, best goals, signings, the flops and a lot of other stuff you've forgotten already from this season.

The TSS Awards are a little bit different to the standard fare. There's going to be no 30 minute musical performance and interpretive dance before we get to the ceremony. No presenters will be slapped in the face, I don't think. And Robert Lewandowski will not be intentionally ignored today. I don't think either. We'll have to check on that. My name is Ryan Bailey. Joining me today is a man

who's dressed up beautifully for the awards in his finest suit, the one he's wearing in his LinkedIn profile, Taylor Rockwell. Hello. Oh no, I've gone full tucks this time. I've got a top hat. I've got a monocle. There's a cane. There are spats. I don't know what spats are, but I'm wearing them. I'm very excited. Unfortunately,

I got the wrong memo. I thought this was our MLS week 14 mid-season review. So all of my

awards are for MLS players so far, but I'll try to pivot on the fly. Well, for some people in

MLS at the season ended in week 14. But enough about your former employers?

Indeed.

But Taylor, I love the tucks. It looks great, but did you have to Donald Duck it? Why didn't you put anything on below your waist? Well, I didn't think the camera would go that low. Like, I thought I would just be covered, Zoom style during the pandemic. But no, apparently, we've got new technology that shows everything. So gentlemen, I hope you like my Donald Duck Boxers, because that's what we're going with here.

Well, I'm not enjoying it. And on that, though. I felt like we were like a moment away from a visit to Total Soccer Show HR. So, yeah, let's keep it moving. Let's keep it moving. I keep them on speed-dard for occasions like this, Taylor.

That's fair.

Also joining us, a man who once again wins our award for the best host named Joe Lowry. Hello, Joe Lowry. I am honored. I would like to thank so many people for this award, starting with you, Ryan, for making it up and giving it to me in the first place. Hang on, Joe, Joe, wait, no, it went to the other Joe Lowry, the one with the blue check on Twitter.

Sorry, it's not you. Well, this is awkward for everybody. To pivot us away from this awkwardness, listeners, I just want you to know that that interchange between Taylor and Ryan was not nearly the most awkward or TSSHRA back and forth we've had today. The first one just wasn't recorded. So you can just sort of wonder and imagine what that might be. Oh, boy.

Peeling back the onion, huh, Joe? Joe, this is the reason why you didn't win the best Joe award. This is it right here. Letting see it just be known. Other Joe wouldn't do that. I was going to say other Joe would have played it cool, huh? Dang it. Of course. Maybe next year. As you can hear, listener, European season's over. Things are loose around here. I mean, yeah, pretty much. Indeed. Long may it continue, Jets. Well, we're going to talk through our awards and our categories very shortly. But I've thought to sort of get us off on the right foot, if indeed we haven't done that already. Some quiz questions for you, Joe and Taylor. How do you feel about that prospect, Taylor? You want to do some quiz questions? Not great. Let's do it. Hey! The opportunity to be caught out on a recording. Oh, yeah. Sounds good. I got to say, doing these end of season, like, review shows is always interesting for how little information I am capable of retaining anymore. So games that I thought happened, like seven months ago happened maybe a month ago. So this should be great. I should bet a thousand on this one. Yeah. This is always the time of year when I find out, oh, my God, that like it was six years ago and it was September. Yeah. Okay. So on that note, question for you both. This is a Premier League question. By the way, I'll say I've sourced these questions from end of season quizzes on 442 and The Guardian, because I'm too lazy to write my own. Which of the teams that finished in the top four did not beat any of the other teams that finished in the top four. So there's one team in the top four. They didn't beat any other top four teams this season. Can you name that team? Chelsea? Yeah, I was going to say Chelsea too. Darn it, Taylor, I should have just said. I think the answer is Chelsea, though, for real because City and Liverpool won everything basically, and Tottenham got a result against one of those

two teams and maybe Chelsea as well. Yeah. Liverpool drew all six of their games against Man City,

Chelsea and Tottenham. We're off to a flying start. I was so confident, too. At least Joe and I built

consensus on that. Yeah. We were wrong together, Taylor, and I appreciate that.

Okay.
