Hello, everybody, and welcome to the weekend edition of the Total Soccer Show.

I'm your host, Taylor Rockwell. We're recording this Sunday evening. We'll be out Monday morning, probably early, early Monday morning. If you're listening to it now, then you know that it's already out. And with me to talk about everything from this past weekend is a man who has, I believe, spent the last 37,000 hours in a row watching tennis. Is that correct, Ryan Bailey? Roughly 37,000 hours, that's correct. Yes, I'm watching a lot of Asian tennis at the moment, tennis from Asia, I should say. But can I tell you, Teddy, what I've spent my afternoon doing today. You absolutely can. You'll be very envious. I went to see Pepper Pig Live. Wow. That's big time. Just by yourself, I'm assuming. Oh yeah yeah, yeah. I don't have kids or anything. I just like to, I just like to support the arts.

Tennis and Peppa Pig. You are a classy, classy man, my friend. It was good because obviously Peppa Pig is British, and all the actors who are portraying the pig and its sheep and donkey friends or whatever they are on stage, they're all trying to do write really good English accents.

They're like, hello, Pepper.

Shall we jump in a muddy puddle, governor?

It was a bit Mary Poppins.

Why do you think it's always cockney?

What is that?

And like, historically, they use that too.

In films and TV shows, whenever they need, like, expository dialogue. It's always the cockney accent that comes through to do it. It's Dick Van Dyke's fault, Mary Popper. Oh, that makes so much sense. It all lines trace back to Dick Van Dyke. As they should, and I think that's a fair person to start with. And also Don Cheadle didn't help the cause in Ocean's 11.

They had that really bad accent as well.

There's so no reason for him to be English, but choices are choices, I suppose.

And I guess with that accent, he would probably support one of the teams that we're going to be talking about today

because we've got the weekend review. Obviously, a lot of Premier League to discuss, a little bit of Spain, a little bit of Germany and Italy, and then some MLS to bring us home. Ryan, I want to start with, there were many surprising results this weekend. So I'm just going to go with the surprising result from Saturday. That would be Brighton and Hoalbion 3. Tottenham Hotspur nil.

I did not see the 3-0 coming, even though Spurs have not had the strongest of weeks.

Ryan, how surprised were you by this result?

I'm pretty surprised.

I mean, let's look at it as a positive.

For Spurs, they conceded four less goals in their previous game.

They're on the up.

Well, that's good.

That's good. That's always a positive step. But it did seem like we've talked about Pocetino and Tottenham and everything going on there that has been going on there. This felt like another sort of moment of like maybe this just isn't the season for him at Tottenham. And I heard on Five Live on the way in to record this this evening, one of the pundits was suggesting that, like, maybe he just needs to step away. And it reminded me that I think the last person I remember, like, doing that in a high profile situation was Zadon, obviously, but like, Yergen Klopp midseason walking away from Dortmund and just sort of being like, you know what, I'm not going to fix this. Maybe somebody else can do a better job. And I put it to you, Ryan, is that a thing you think Maricio Pochitino should do? Or do you think he should try to stay and see if he can turn things around? I think there's no way in heck that Marucia Pochitino walks away. Because no Premier League manager is walking away from a contract when they can get a huge payout and get fired, surely.
