Thank you. Hello and welcome everybody to a weekend review episode of The Total Soccer show.

My name is Taylor Rockwell, and on today's episode, Arsenal and Manchester City both lost while Everton won, Wolves, Blanked Liverpool 3-0, Kailor Navas, and Nottingham Forest won. Chelsea's record spending had the desired

result, a nil-nill-nill draw with Fulham, cats and dogs officially living together. But we haven't gone full Bizarro world just yet, which is to say that Leeds still lost, meaning that Jesse Marsh had to fall on the same sword that Marcella Bielsa fell on not too long ago. up next for Leeds, Marcelo Biosa, again, if the bookies get their way.

Meanwhile, Kareemezima failed to score for a second straight weekend, which means we're approaching a full-blown crisis at Rao Madrid, who are now eight points behind Joe's Boyhood Club in the title race. There's a Milan Derby, Seattle's very brief foray into the Club World Cup, and Elche getting their first

win of the season, which means congrats of sorts to Creminense and Serea, our only remaining

winless team across Europe's top five leagues.

Here with me to talk about all that and much, much more, are two wonderful friends.

Up first, a man who will soon only be accepting payment in the form of

Popeye's gift cards. It's Graham Ruffin. Hi, Graham. Taylor Rockwell, yes. There's no shortage of

news today with Erling Hallin preparing to play in the championship. Jesse Marsh sacked by Leeds

and the biggest piece of news which you referenced there. I've just learned Popeyes is building

a restaurant two miles from where I live. RIP my waistline. Here's the thing, though. You said that's walkable two miles. So is the plan to walk the two miles to eat and then walk back? Is that how you'll burn some of the calories? That's basically what we did in Brooklyn, Ryan and I. Wake up the morning, walk to Popeyes, and then burn it off on the way back. Yes, and then Ryan and Joe would

both obnoxiously go for runs and make us feel slightly less fit. Ram, is your hope that a

massive amount of fried chicken and biscuits will help or harm your voice? What's the plan there?

I mean, I feel like, actually, I was going to say help because I was thinking of like the gravy,

but then I feel like biscuits is probably not the kind of food you want when you've got a sore throat.

So maybe I have the biscuits first and then wash it down with a pint of gravy to lacquer the throat.
