While most of Europe's leagues have paused the show, we got plenty of the English game and some Coucho.

Old Traffat is holding its reputation as the theatre of dreams, but only if you're a fan of a visiting team.

Newcastle didn't have to work too hard to come out on top as Man United continue their slide towards the drop.

Ipswich overcame Chelsea to see their survival campaign ignited.

Hey, at this rate, maybe they'll finish above Man United.

Meanwhile, Liverpool scored five, which for them feels on par, while Tottenham continued to be the Premier League's clown car.

And in Italy, Atalanta stayed top and they still look inspired while Milan's draw saw Paulo Fonseca get fired.

But hey, if you don't win trophies, you don't get to stay at the helm.

Well, unless you're Garris Southgate and you get

made a night of the realm. My name's Ryan Bailey. Join me today on the final episode of Total Soccer Show for 2024. Taylor Rockwell, hello, Taylor. Hello, Ryan. Jim Ratcliffe has rebranded it as the reverse top. It's not the drop. It's not the bottom of the table. It's the reverse top. So in that way, Manchester United are winning the race to the reverse top.

Wow. How many people did you have to fire to make? It's not the drop. It's not the bottom of the table. It's the reverse top. So in that way, Manchester United are winning the race to the reverse top.

Wow. How many people did you have to fire to make that decision, Taylor? Several thousand. And he did that with relish, it seems like, rubbing his hands together. It felt gratuitous in my mind. And speaking of gratuitous and that knighthood for Garris Southgate, they really do seem to have lowered the bar, Ryan.

At this point, how long until you get knighthood for Gareth Southgate. They really do seem to have lowered the bar, Ryan.

At this point, how long until you get knighted for services to podcasting? I thought I had already. I'm not confused. Ryan's won as many World Cops as Gareth Southgate. It's true. Presum it's in the meal. I mean, if you look at it, like in Game of Thrones, there are a lot of sirs and knights in there who probably didn't deserve it either, so on balance, fine.

Great thing to compare your country too. Yeah. Very good. Also, here you just heard his voice, Graham, and hello, Graham. Happy New Year to you, sir. Happy New Year. Did you have a good Christmas? Ryan, did you also open your stocking on Christmas morning that had been filled by your daughter to find it full of stuff you already owned? Or was that just me?

It's cute that you think my children make some kind of gesture like that in the first place, Graham. But no, I didn't. I'm glad to hear you had a wonderful Christmas. Happy Christmas and happy Hanukkah to all those who celebrate, of course, out there in Listenerville. Joe Lowry's here. Hello, Joe. Hey, it is great to see and hear all of you on this last show of 2024. I'm just over here thinking, truly thinking, if Ryan would have done a better job with England than Gareth Southgate. There's probably lots of nights to the Game of Thrones point that's already been made that don't deserve to be knighted in the United Kingdom.
