Thank you. Hello, hello everybody and welcome to a short-ed edition of The Total Soccer Show.

My name is Taylor Rockwell.

On today's episode, we're talking dramatic results in the Premier League, Scottish heroes around Europe, Americans in action all over the place, and outfield players turned star goalkeepers.

It was a busy weekend, and here to break it down with me is a man who put notes

in the running order for 11 games in total. Graham Ruffin, you are a lunatic number one. We've

been over this before. How do you retain everything and at what things expense are you retaining

all of those games? Hello, Taylor Rockwell. First of all, how are you? Did you have a good weekend? Was that all okay? Yeah. No, we're diving right in. I'm asking the hard-hidden questions immediately. Question straight away. Defend yourself. The Bundesliga is the league that kind of falls by the wayside. Not many talking points for the Bundesliga. They have their games on at the same time of Sterling Albion matches and Skies' catch-up service is really, really bad. So yeah, I feel like the Bundesliga is the league that I regularly watch the least of. But yeah, 11 matches, that's quite a, that's a smaller number for me.

I feel like I've been, I feel like I've been higher than I live in this season at least. I think you definitely have. I think I don't believe I've ever asked you. Do you go into games that you're going to watch with a bit of background? Do you try to read a preview? Do you have things you're paying attention to or looking for or narratives you want to follow? or is it sort of a blank canvas

as soon as you turn the game on?

No, I think with most matches anyway, there are always things that I am looking for. So, for example, Adelaidecéeuxedad was at the weekend. That was a game that I was really looking forward to. La Relle had been in really good form. I am really enjoying watching

Taki Cubo this season and Kieran Tierney is not in that team anymore. He's suffered an injury so I wanted

to see how Lariol would cope after that. And then Athletical Madrid I wanted to see how, like Sal Niguez

is a player that I've been writing about this week and next week and he's kind of come back into that Adletti team. So I wanted to see how he would fare. I don't think he actually started in the end. So that was a bit of a disappointment. So yeah, there are always things like Grisman against his former club. There are always things with most matches that I am keeping an eye on. That obviously makes sense.

I think I don't do that.

I think I just approach games with like, all right, they're playing each other.

Maybe I know the basic stuff from paying attention of like Dortmund, not a strong of a season,

Union Berlin, also not as strong of a season for them, Dortmund's in a better position.
