My name is Taylor Rockwell, joining me on the other end of the line is a man with the English accent, which means he can talk soccer. It's Ryan Bailey. Hello, Ryan. Well, hello, Taylor. What a privilege to be here. What, what, what? First of all, I appreciate you playing that one up. That is actually how Ryan sounds normally. He tones it down for the show, but that he takes off the monocle, I think,

before we start recording. But generally speaking, that's how he sounds. Yes, I do my terribly uncouth accent for the podcast normally, but we shall switch over shortly here, here. Do you actually get that sometimes? Do you, do people just assume you're all about soccer? Does it make you sad when people come up to you hear the accent and ask, like, which team do you support?

It's a safe assumption, I suppose, but I don't get offended by that. But I get offended by most people thinking I'm Australian. I think 90% of people think I'm from Australia when they meet me in this country. It's strange. I think it's because they expect me to speak like the Queen, and I don't. And then one more question. is this about how the usual, we're going to like do a role play here.

Is this about how the conversation usually goes?

Like, oh, you're English.

Which? like the queen and I don't. And then one more question. Is this about how the usual, we're going to like do a role play here.

Is this about how the conversation usually goes?

Like, oh, you're English. Which team do you support? Oh, yeah. And then I say, Wimbledon. And they say, oh, yeah. No, they go, which Premier League team do you support? And I say, I support Wimbledon. we were in the Premier League, we're not anymore.

And they said, no, no, no, you don't understand me.

Which Premier League team is your team?

And it goes around like that for maybe six or seven minutes before I walk away. And then you just slowly fade into the bushes, a la Homer Simpson. I like that. I like that. I like that approach. Indubidly. We will start with the English Premier League, as we are wont to do. We're going to start with Chelsea's one no loss at home to Bournemouth. Ryan, where are your thumbs for this game? I've got a few thumbs. Let me start

up with a nice thumbs up for Chelsea for keeping a festive tradition maintained. You know,

there's a lot of traditions around this time, and one of Chelsea's is their annual loss to Bournemouth.

So well done for that, because the past two January's, they have done the same thing, and they've done it here again, a little prematurely just before Christmas for us here. But, yeah, I mean, that's about the only thumbs up I'm going to give Chelsea, because otherwise, a little bit of a mess in this game, were they not? They absolutely were. And I think it was exemplified by, as people have already pointed out, the centerbacks looking

long every single time or looking lateral.

It was a lot of strange passing combinations and like long, like Route 1 direct sort of
