Welcome to the Total Soccer Show and an episode where we're asking what's gone wrong with some of the biggest teams in Europe.

We're going to troubleshoot. We're going to try and fix these teams. Maybe we'll see if switching them on and off again is going to get them working.

And we're going to see what the path forward looks like for the likes of Real Madrid, Arsenal, Levikusen, and many more.

My name's Ryan Bailey.

Joining me to troubleshoot is Taylor Rockcoe.

Hello, Taylor.

Hello, Ryan.

We're going to pull Neri Shaheen out of the console, make sure there's no dust in there and then put him back in.

That sounds, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it.

Was that Super Nintendo?

And Sega, I think, as well. You miss the hitting on the top. Come on, come on, work. Yes, we can hit. No, seriously, you know how he works. Yes, I'm of the PlayStation 1 era, Graham Ruffin. Hello, Graham Rutherland, where you had to vigorously wipe the disc to try and get things work. Yeah. That's not an euphemism. Open the tree and blow into the tree, also not a euphemism. Yes. That was what I was trying to avoid in my response. I almost use that word and I didn't want to when you brought a Saheen, but we got there in the end, Taylor. Thank you very much. I was actively avoiding it. Good news for you, Taylor. We are talking about teams that need some fix-in, and we're not going to talk about Man United in this episode because we're just kind of... Or Wimbledon. Because they're fixed. Is that why? All three of our teams have been excluded from today's episode, I think. That's true. That's true. I guess with Man United, I suppose we're kind of just used to them being semi-broken on a semi-permanent basis

I mean genuinely the reason they are not in this episode

is we spend a lot of time talking about Manchester 8

particularly recently with Sackington Hague and Ruben Amram

so we kind of already covered that in last week's pretty

everybody loves it and no one ever complains that it's all we talk about

Let's get to our first team we're going to deal with today.

It is Ramadrid, the Kings of Europe, Graham, looking like paupers right now.

Losses to Milan and Barcelona in their last two games.

They've lost two of the last four Champions League games, those are.

And nine points behind in the leagueer title race. What's going on? Is Carlo Angelochioletti sweating right now?
