Summary
After rechristening Scotland and ‘McTominayLand’, Ryan Bailey and Graham Ruthven get into the biggest matches of the weekend from around Europe!
0.00 - Manchester United vs. Leeds: Ole is at the wheel and his hands are positioned at 6 and 2! We look at how Solskjaer set up perfectly to deal with Marcelo Bielsa’s high-energy side.
21.17 - Everton vs. Arsenal: Mikel Arteta endured an unhappy return to Goodison Park, where the Gunners suffered yet another league loss. We ask: what is an Arsenal, and what does it stand for?
38.50 - Tottenham vs. Leicester: It looked like the Spider-Man meme in North London where two of the league’s best counter-attacking sides pointed at each other Leicester, however, had the better game plan.
51.50 - Bayer Leverkusen vs. Bayern Munich: It is a time of year for giving gifts, and Leverkusen’s Jonathan Tah very kindly placed two in the lap of Robert Lewandowski to send Die Roten to the top of the table for the festive break.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, |
| 0:02.0 | Hello, happy holidays and welcome to the Total Soccer Show Weekend Review. |
| 0:25.5 | My name is Ryan Bailey and joining me to cast an eye over this past weekend's action |
| 0:29.6 | is a man from Scotland, a country that might soon be renamed Mactominee Land. |
| 0:34.7 | Graham Rutherland. Graham, how you doing? |
| 0:36.9 | I'm not bad, Ryan, but I think Scotland was |
| 0:38.6 | renamed Mactominy Land a while ago. We've been living with that for a bit now. |
| 0:44.5 | This is Scott McTominy's world. We're all just living in it, right? This has been a pretty special |
| 0:48.8 | weekend for him, has it not? Yeah, Scott McTominy and John McGinshire as well as the adjacent land. |
| 0:57.7 | I like it. So how are things in Glasgow at the moment, Graham? |
| 1:01.0 | You know, not great, kind of in keeping with the rest of the world, but we're doing okay. |
| 1:06.2 | I'm just resisting the urge not to dive into the Christmas turkey that's now in my fridge before the big day. |
| 1:13.0 | I had a pal who once mauled a Christmas ham on Christmas Eve after a few drinks and that did |
| 1:19.1 | not go down well in his household. Is your Christmas turkey cooked already? No, no. Well, yeah, |
| 1:24.4 | that would be, that's a point. I would need to cook it. I couldn't just go straight into the fridge unless I was being really primal and had quite a number of drinks. But yeah, I'm still resisting that urge. |
| 1:35.9 | That's good stuff. Oh, by the way, there's something I wanted to say a little bit of a tip for our listeners. I'm not going to insult you by trying to do a Scottish accent, Graham, but I have a tip for an American accent. If you want to say, |
| 1:48.1 | if you want to sound like you're saying, spice girls in Scottish, you say space ghettos, |
| 1:53.6 | space ghettos with an American accent. Ready for this, Graham? |
| 1:56.5 | Yep. Space ghettos. Space ghettos. |
| 2:00.6 | You like that? There's a bit of Scottish tips for you there, a dear listener. Space ghettos. Space ghettos. Very good. |
