0:39
and what it means they played this weekend and had a great great time against Sheffield United but the
0:45
discussion all fell around why can't we get here in the U.S the
0:53
feeling that something like rexin can happen and we're gonna get to the FA Cup fourth round there's a full rundown of

1:34
so let us go in into rexim so what is rexim if you're not familiar with the
1:41
show rexim is a team in Northern Wales in the fifth tier of English football
1:47
which is one division out of the actual professional football league it is a
1:52
semi-pro League that has increasingly especially the national league become more and more professional as team
2:00
owners and people who want to own sports teams find Value in ready-made
2:06
communities of fans who love their team and they want to be a part of the football energy
2:14
um I believe that Rob mcgillah any and and Ryan Reynolds bought wrexham for
2:21
three million dollars and they've taken to the city uh I
2:26
believe Rob saw in in wrexham something of South Philly something of the working
2:32
man's need for sport something in the offensive authenticity of the feeling
2:38
that the city brought him and he and Ryan Reynolds they convinced each other I don't think Ryan Reynolds was into
2:44
sport they convinced each other to be into this why is this important and how does it uh relate to MLS
2:51
I think that Americans are responding to the story of rexham because we seek an
2:58
authenticity that our sports do not have
3:03
our sports do not have I've just been re-reading the ball as round and one of
3:09
the things that Stark about the development of football in Europe and in England specifically is how organic it
3:17
was it was just first just a local Street game from town
3:22
to town something you did once a year and you fought and punched and kicked each other and that Rough and Tumble
3:28
game got applied to the creation of the in the schools in England and they
3:34
fought and they fought trying to figure out what to do with crazy young guys who just like to fight and they created this
3:40
game and slowly develop rules and that organic feeling is still permeates
3:46
through these teams so rexham is a team that's been in existence for
3:52
over 120 years the Racecourse ground Was a Race Course for horse racing and
3:57
cricket and rexham started playing there and this authenticity that you feel
4:04
when you go to Europe or you're buying old building or if you go to Stonehenge or if you see the Mona Lisa these teams
4:12
and the passion the fans feel is something that cannot be bought or created with a franchise and so
4:19
um within the argument that I read I want to shout out my friend card to kirishner who are we're Twitter friends we've never spoken but he's a host of
4:27
the world soccer Talk podcast out of Florida he's always in this sort of push and
4:34
pull of how does American sport get into that Community feeling and I'm not sure we
4:40
can get to it or we can get to the right stories because when you really think about it when you think of a team in the
4:46
U.S especially an MLS team let's take an MLS team for instance it's usually a team that never existed
4:53
or existed as a USL lower division team at the oldest may have been created in
4:59
the 70s and the old nasl and those teams they have the Portland Thorns and and Minnesota uh Union
5:07
the loons and it's really about a very very rich person buying a franchise in MLS that
5:14
usually comes with a stadium and so you get this antiseptic wow we're
5:20
going to the mall feeling versus wrexham where it's we're buying
5:27
a hundred years of feeling and a hundred years of moments and 100 Years of pain and suffering and the suffering is part
5:33
of it I keep kidding around about City needing to suffer part of great fandom is great suffering
5:40
and what the MLS Lacks is the suffering I'm sure we had a moment there with
5:47
Columbus Crew uh where they kind of fans almost lost their team
5:52
but that's the terrible thing about the American franchise model is if the team goes into a state of suffering
6:00
because it's so business first the team just disappears uh the team moves the team ceases to
6:08
exist the United States has probably had more teams fold than any country in the world because our sport is based on
6:15
business first they're not Community assets although we sell them as Community
6:20
assets to get people to Pony up money for publicly funded stadiums whereas you
6:25
look at the race Grant the race course ground it's painted and taken care of by the local
6:31
people in the community they have a broken down stand that you watch the game and and it's half Fallen apart as
6:37
though Obama hit it not two weeks ago so when we think about rexim and we
6:42
think about the MLS here are a couple of analogies that I that come to mind for me is just like
6:48
how do we capture the feeling of going into a 500 year old Cathedral versus
6:55
a church that was built in 1970 for a gated community does that feel the same
7:01
it's still a church there's still a priest we're still all in there together but does that stained glass
7:08
feel real to you does it feel like this church matters have there been 5 000
7:13
weddings and ten thousand baptisms no or
7:19
if you went to a McDonald's does it it nourishes you it's food
7:27
it's a bit of a Community Asset but is it the same as the diner that's been on
7:33
Route 1 for 75 years that you went after every game and a community gathers
7:41
around no it's still food it's still a restaurant it's not even a high-end restaurant but that Chrome those old
7:48
seats all that stuff matters and I think what happens with MLS teams is they
7:54
don't have that and so when we watch wrexham we want that
8:00
and um I don't know how we get there but I hope that one day we do because I
8:06
really think it's an amazingly valuable asset that that we should all experience we should all want it and hopefully our
8:13
Sports get that long and it's a shame that you know Yankee Stadium is gone and we have a new Yankee stadium more let me
8:20
tell you Red Sox fans and and Wrigley Field fans and cubs fans never lose your stadiums
8:26
where it is the space the energy the feeling it matters don't fall for the
8:32
trick you don't need a new stadium redo your old stadium alright let us get into
8:38
the um the FA Cup actual results here on 8 45 into the show uh just to make sure
8:46
we capture it so people can listen to it later the results we start with rexham so rexham three three an amazing game at
8:55
the city ground they're playing Sheffield United that we talked about in a preview who are flying High and um
9:03
rexham came out in the first half they weren't quite added maybe the energy was too much maybe Ryan Reynolds
9:09
being there by the way they shot to Ryan Reynolds every five seconds he seems genuinely to be feeling the pain of
9:16
being a wrexham supporter but I don't know so on to ollie McBurney scores a goal on a cross very standard like the
9:23
levels of football here at this level are not great but this is what real football looks like it's blood and
9:28
thunder it's big strong guys and uh rexham did hang in there through the first half they probably could have been
9:34
behind but did show the fight the crowd was behind them it was amazing and this in the second half rexham came out Phil
9:42
Parkinson and his crew came out and just battered uh Sheffield United it
9:50
was not close if we go by the nerd stats of XG and whatever I think like rexham had an XG of like three and a half now I
9:56
don't have the XG in front of me because the FAA doesn't matter about that but one of the things I liked about this there was no VAR the game just flowed
James Jones on a scrappy goal all he bundles one in then O'Connor bundles one
in and then Mullin on the break on 86 he flies in and scores as well but in the meantime Ollie Norwood Drew this game
level on 65 so we were tied at 2-2 after the barrage from Jones and O'Connor
um one of the things I think about with was um was Tozer I believe his name was the um
one of the fullbacks for where did he what was this position I have to find him
Tozer where's Tozer was he a full Center back ton Cliff Tozer their Primary Center back excuse me Ben Tozer with the
amazing long throw what a weapon every team should try and find a player on their team who can do a long throw
because remember on a throw in you can't be offside so you can go wherever you want you can throw it as far as you want
seemed like any ball in the final third rexham had a chance at goal they just threw it into the mixer and this is very
indicative for those who don't know this is very indicative of lower league football even bottom half of the Premier
League it used to be like this but it's gotten much better but you're seeing with Rex and vs Sheffield United real
traditional English football and it's fantastic so leads are up Paul Mullen
brings them up sorry rexima Paul Mullen on 86 with the with the diagnosis of his
kid having autism he points to the shoe just incredible stuff and she wrecks them are so close there's seven minutes
of added time because Jeb is had gotten send off on a kick out there was lots of hijinks going on it was real
stuff and John Egan comes up with the scruffy goal at the end to break wrexham Hearts
now they did not lose so this is where oh draws suck this is a great draw because
what it means for the FA Cup if you don't know uh for the until you get to the semi-final round
if you draw you get a replay and I don't know if anyone knows this historically
with the FA Cup they would play replays over and over again until someone won so it was not
unknown there have been I believe I'd have to look it up but there have been FA Cup runs where
they're three four replays or six back in the day so if you play if you if
you had a draw you did it again and they'd find a place for it they settled on having one replay uh I'm sure there
are lots and lots and lots of uh Premier League managers who want no replays but
uh wrexham will now go to [Music] um to Hillsboro I believe Sheffield United
played Hillsborough is that right or is that Wednesday I might have gotten it wrong I don't think oh Bramble Lane
excuse me we'll go to bramel Lane Sheffield takes on Wixom will have to go there and
play again rexham are flying I don't think that Sheffield will take this game lightly but what an amazing game what an
amazing event that if you're not paying attention February 7th please find where
you can watch wrexham V Sheffield we'll all be rooting for wrexham and Mike knows and he went nuts the winner of
this match does play Spurs so Spurs will get either rexham or Sheffield I'm sure
Spurs wants rexham or maybe they don't or maybe they do I think for the fame for the faint of hearted I'm sure they
would want rexham more than anything in the whole world at this point
so we go to the next thing and we have to talk about my friends uh my friends in Liverpool
um just just having a hard time with uh my other friends from from Brighton
again unbelievable scenes brighten about
as obvious as you'd seem is just unable Liverpool is unable to defeat the mighty
mighty um Brighton early in this game so konate and Gomez are in the back early in the
game Ferguson misses one passes it off to Marsh uh from from Sally Marsh
Ferguson Mrs Trent Alexander off the line saves them then Solace breaks in
down the line a goal that he would have scored any time over the last five years
and he misses uh in this case and then they have another shot dunk Lewis dunk a
beloved Lewis dunk you want a real footballer Lewis dunk Captain Center back number four for
Brighton this is a man's man this is what Harry MaGuire used to be but somehow got ruined and is not when he
was at Leicester he used to play like this but Lewis dunk overplays Salah Salah takes the ball plays it on to
Elliot but continues his run uh gets it back and then passes it into
Elliot one nil to Liverpool so Liverpool looking good feeling okay but not really
they still can't control anything in the Midfield they can't control games at all
and so the powerful Midfield of casedo and um and McAllister just running
things Liverpool dream of having a Midfield that good uh the second the the leveling goal comes from lamty deflected
in acres of space this ball comes out the lampy he's got a half an hour to hammer it he does dunk
I think intended to deflect this and deflects at home uh scoring the goal 1-1 then the terrorist that is matomo
flies down the wing on an incredible pass and run onto Marsh but Marsh misses again Liverpool on the ropes as usual
all over again I don't know what to say anymore about Liverpool they just no
matter what they do this Midfield was basic and keita still overrun uh gapco
gapco sorry Cody gapko gakpo uh has been
able to hasn't been able to affect games at all Elliott has played well when he's there and then Trent just getting abused
by motomo again uh Robertson also not really affecting these games and so
matomo down the wing he sets up another that almost happens
and then um we get so it's one one sorry then the
starting we're still playing around still playing and in the end it's an esteporn cross and a 90 estupion cross
in the 95th minute and matomo has no right to score this goal he plays most of the game on the right on the left
side comes over to the right side he's on the back post three touches with his right foot one to settle one to Juke
Gomez who flies out of the screen the Juke is so good the cameraman's move off of matomo and then he slams it home 95th
minute winner matomo again terrorizing poor Liverpool and I don't think it's
close I don't think Liverpool fans feel like they lost this game more possession to Brighton took more shots more On
Target everything in fact Liverpool resorted to trying breaking players so
uh fabinho tried to break Ferguson in half uh really really nasty files that
could have been read any other day Liverpool are a shambles right now
um will they get better will they get there I don't know what's happening to them I don't know what they're going to
do how they're going to get there how they're going to get better there isn't a path forward at this point so
Liverpool season now rests on they're not going to win the league they're out of the League Cup
they're out of the FA Cup they're out of the league and they have Real Madrid in the
Champions League crazier things have happened but Liverpool is really aiming for a lost season and um if I want to give a my
diagnosis of Liverpool's problems are riding the same players for too long
having trans having a transfer policy that did not bring in high enough
quality to challenge the players that were there so it's good to have transfers but
they've got to push the guys they have and then lastly I don't think we can underestimate
the 65 games that Liverpool played at highest level of intensity and then just
having it not go their way uh losing both the FA Cup
sorry the winning FA Cup losing the I don't know which one losing the league and the champions league right they won
the FA Cup in the League Cup uh and just sort of limping out and going man we
were almost there to being a legendary team um I don't think the Monet thing is the
end of the world I think that Nunez has been good by and large
um I think it's more losing some of the continuity of firmino losing some of that connectivity that connective tissue
of how we play and who the leaders are um the Salah thing he's not having a
great year but he really hasn't been good since he lost a calf since he lost the African Cup of Nations and that's
almost a year now he was really on fire first three quarters of last season and
came back from the Cup of Nations in the world and not making a World Cup maybe it's the World Cup qualifier I got it
wrong um last year it really hasn't come back well since then uh he's a he's a hot and
cold player in some sense he'll probably next season have 35 goals but this season might be his 15 goal season so
Liverpool hurting licking their wounds
um we spent a lot of the last session talking about Arsenal and
Manchester City we're now back at that game um and gonna sort of go through the
first round of their heavyweight battles so we set the stage Arsenal top of the
League City chasing them um City actually in turmoil
um losing Consuelo this week so this was before that game they just sent him off to Bayern probably City's best attacking
player over the last two three seasons he's gone so the turmoil that I've been
talking about with City where pep losing his mind is not fake there's something going on inside the team that just isn't
quite the way we want it to be these days so uh City came into this game this
is the first of at least three more meetings at least three meetings so City in this game
and City have two more games against Arsenal in the league at least I don't think there's any other ways they can
play uh because City are not in a league cup anymore so this game was kg I thought arsenal
were really good uh but I think I talked about the five narratives that could happen um and one of those was Arsenal play
well but lose and that sort of puts them still in the same position as Arsenal is
good they played well they could have won this game they did not play their best
and they sort of pushed the game along ago okay we're out of the FA Cup fine you come and get us in the league so
they lose on a goal uh created by grealish on a shot by Julian Alvarez
Julian Alvarez at this point has to play I think City are at their best when his
energy is in the team he is the most like-for-like player with
your um Jesus Gabriel Jesus he runs the channels he's pressing he drops deep it
all makes sense so City are going with like a tall and short a very traditional Strike Force partnership that came on in
the second half with Alvarez and Holland together where Holland simply stays in front occupying and then we allow
Alvarez to run deep he's he's a bit of chaos Alvarez he'll shoot from Far everyone with city is very measured and
ordered and it still doesn't look quite right I will give credit to to Jack grealish he's really been on form but
and Katya had two really good chances that he could have scored um one was blocked by Laporte uh John
Stones went out in this game so City's a little bit hampered and we saw some interesting
um tactics from Arsenal they were playing City man for Man City didn't wasn't expecting it had to change at
halftime um Lewis um came off and so a little bit of
things with city city will take it we'll move on take this FA Cup feel good about
it but the pep arteta thing that I didn't quite talk about uh as much
in the build up is something that's interesting you know what does it mean to have your understudy or your
secondary Crouch you know he's known pep has known arteta since he was 15 years old now it's kind of like we have this
inchenko thing and we have the Jesus thing and the two teams have older links especially when wenvenger was there City
would poach players from Arsenal I think KOLO Torre and Samir nasri guy cliche
all became part of City's process of actually clawing Arsenal off their
fourth place spot and city became that fourth place bot if you remember I talked about when when Newcastle were
just coming up they bought Chris Wood from Burnley to take Burnley out
so this is what city did to Arsenal so uh it's kind of an interesting thing there where city were so arrogant to
send their own players to Arsenal to help out I don't quite understand it Pep's been weird this is a weird season
for City I wouldn't be surprised if we don't win anything uh it's very possible uh that you get Holland the best player
in the league and you're worse or you lose something it's very hard to win three leagues in a
row I gave her a lot of respect to Sir Alex Ferguson for that but City still
playing a little funky a little a little
funky and a little less funky is our friend
um Mr hinman's son who leads the line for Tottenham in there FA Cup game
moving them through to the next round against Preston north end now
I like saying Preston North End they play at a stadium called deepdale I mean
you couldn't freaking call this The Hobbit anymore I mean it's just an incredible kind of name but Preston
North End have been having a good season as a defensive team so I thought Spurs would have a harder time here but it
looked to me that um Spurs had this one and it was really good to see Sunny get really deep goals
I think maybe a little bit of a an opportunity for sun to not have to play
off cane and really feel bad feel feel good about taking shots and doing what it needed to do
um Spurs played Doherty and cesion and again you know they didn't have to defend uh
spurs's weakness is defending when they play on the front foot they're good
and it makes you wonder why doesn't kante play on the front foot more often he's so afraid of
um of of playing attacking football
he doesn't realize that that's his best path forward there are good players in this spur side and perisic playing at
the nine which is weird he just played a sort of floating front three with parisich kulashevski and Son but son
being the primary shooter we know that parisich doesn't really like to shoot and he laid off uh many shots I don't
have too much to talk about with our friends from Preston uh they're in mid table they're a traditional team they
were the original invincibles I think in 1886 they went undefeated they were the first two League winners I think in the
actual Football League before the offside roll so Preston is an old school team famous for being the training
ground for Mr David Beckham he started at Preston North End where uh Sir Alex
loaned him and he had his first times at professional football playing a full season for Preston before coming to
United and becoming the handsome legend that he was with the famous goal against Wimbledon from the halfway line but yeah
these teams have all this history if we can go back to the wrexham story a team like Preston North End
you know on would be a team that you could probably buy and they're inexpensive compared to American teams
like they're like 50 million dollars I mean that's not nothing but an MLs
franchise is 300 million dollars if not more so just not quite the same story as
if you brought Preston North End and played at deepdale Stadium I mean deepdale come on it's amazing
Turf more deepdale you can't get better than these names so uh Spurs move on
with a potential meeting up against the Great and Powerful rexim if they can
handle their business against the mighty and Powerful um
uh Sheffield United so we're praying for that another game to talk about just because we probably should is um
paulintz and his reading Hoops his blue Hoops go to man united and they put up a
fight but ultimately lose to the more powerful team in United this is a casemiro game he scored two really good
goals one from Deep one on a nice run uh and then a nice flick from Fred that
came from Bruno that allowed United to get what they needed so Paul ince if you
don't know who Paul Lintz is he's one of the legends of of United's earliest Incarnation when they first won the
league from Liverpool with Cantona he famously moved on to make room for uh
Nikki butt and the class of 92 paulins then went to Inter Milan and then one of
the reasons he's not lauded as one of the Friends of Man United is that he went to Liverpool after he came back
from Italy uh spending the rest of his career you know just applying his trade into Premier League playing till he's 38
going down levels and he's really one of the only um Managers from the Sir Alex Ferguson
tree still going um I think you know I think of a lot of them they've none of them have been really successful I guess Steve Bruce is
the most successful of the of the Ferguson tree really uh you know
who played under him and really was an old school football man but ins has been applying his trade never really too good
but still just grinding being called the governor that's his nickname he's a London boy
coaching is his son Tom and he'll probably get fired from Reading eventually too just like they all do but
he's a name uh he's he's an interesting character he's kind of got a Roy Keane fighting quality to him once
football play it a certain way a hard man if you will but um United dispatch him no problem and
United move on so United are also in good shape for the FA Cup and uh let's go through the remaining results uh just
to make sure that we've got everything clear um remaining results here I'm gonna just
note the time so that I can you guys can pick it up later
remaining results of the fourth round there were a lot of draws so they were going to be a lot of replays that go on
like I said City defeat Arsenal not a problem our friends from accrington and Stanley lose to their beloved leads uh
Patrick banford helping couple goals across the line um there good stuff very enjoyable stuff
from leads who do pick up our friend Weston McKinney we're going to top transfers after we go through the rest
of the scores um Rovers Blackburn Rovers draw with Birmingham city they'll have a replay
Fulham one Sunderland won that was a barn burner almost 35 shots in that game
but they'll have a replay in the Northwest Northeast then the northeast of Sunderland uh Fulham have to travel a
long way my friends from it which town a level down draw with Burnley so Burnley
don't score a goal lots of changes in that game uh Vincent company will take those boys back to Turf more and show
them how it's done then lootontown to Grimsby Town two not much going on there
Luton Town being the championship side they would have expected to beat Grimsby or two levels down but don't really get
it done then the greatest team name in history Sheffield Wednesday won the owls
drawing with Fleetwood Town one one they get a replay our friends from uh
Southampton defeat Blackpool 2-1 so they move on and Warsaw lose to our friends
from Leicester kalechi ianacho the most prolific goal scorer in the FA Cup still
playing he has 17 goals in 23 FA Cup appearances that's a lot we love our
nine and a half he's a legend uh Stoke defeats stevenage 3-1 stevenage were one of the lowest ranked teams left and
today West Ham defeat Derby County with old boys Antonio and Bowen getting on
the scoresheet isn't that nice for the old boys
a couple of transfers we want to go to I think I mentioned two on the spin as we
were working through this um Westin McKinney and
Joe conselo both Moving on but the big one still to come is
the Great and Powerful Chelsea trying to put out 105 million pound deal
for Enzo Fernandez he of the Argentine championships World Cup winning team a
mad mad bid what craziness then as I said before conselo headed to Byron for
a 70 million pound buy option to buy they don't have to buy but they can buy
Arsenal's bid 70 million for casedo has been rejected so Casado one of the
engine room players for Brighton a great player he really has gotten bad advice
he went on social media and wrote a nice letter to Brighton saying oh it's been great I'm happy to move on uh without
the deal being done and Brighton were like not so fast my friend Brighton are holding firm are going to keep kaisero
they've sent him home until the window closes and they're just like you're not leaving
that 70 million is going to be there so Arsenal really trying to go for the title really getting that cover that
they need in the Midfield in case Shaka or party to go down I just realized
Thomas party's 29 years old and he's from Ghana I'm not saying that African
players lie about their age I'm just saying African players play a lot
and will do anything to get out of their country I don't know how old he is I'm just saying it's a possibility he's a
little older than he says he is and Spurs finally make their breakthrough on Pedro poro and send uh young heel and
his hair to Sevilla he's not he's never gotten a shake with poor uh Antonio
Conte um but Pedro poro will come across but um the rest don't happen and then Jed
Spence he's not playing either they're gonna send Jed Spence to renz uh in
France so a lot of weird stuff going on with Spurs that Levy thing where he does
what he wants when kante doesn't want it looks like the power struggles really going in kante's favor when you see
he'll move out and Spence move out while poro is moving in so interesting stuff there then another really weird transfer
and I would love to hear how what Arsenal fans think of this georginio to Arsenal
that feels weird there have been moves of players from Chelsea to Arsenal most
namely Peter Czech and villian but those were on freeze where the player was out
of contract I'm sure that georginio is I'm sure that Chelsea would
love to move georginio on and you know Chelsea might Arsenal might be a good
spot for georginio but that's a weird move I understand the thinking on your genio
for Arsenal in that he plays a real past possession boom boom boom kind of style
but he does not have the physicality to hang with what Thomas parte does or
Jacka does uh maybe athletically he's close to xhaka maybe artet is thinking
he can play in the jackarole and if they need to Jaco will play deeper I'm not sure how anyone would want georginio
he's such a I don't have a better way to say this limp player a couple other deals that
I've gone through that I think are more interesting Anthony Gordon has left
Everton and gone to Newcastle so Anthony Gordon one of the stars of the
relegation battle he and um he Andrew Charleston really kept Everton
up Rich Charleston moved on um but he felt compelled to stay at
Everton it hasn't been the same for him and he's just been like I'm out so Everton are going to try and take that
money and now the next rumor is that Everton would like to bring in Gallagher
because he's not really fitting in with what's going on in Chelsea I love Gallagher but I don't think that he's a
crisp enough passer of the ball he relies very much on physicality and
running and all action that suits lower level teams versus your possession
Precision passing I think he's a bit too all over the place and not staying in position enough where Gallagher may have
fun at Everton uh if he moves further forward and he has a bit more freedom because he's alive wiring he'll score
you goals by accident I really like him I could see him being a player who plays
in clubs that are from 6 to 12 for the rest of his career without actually getting into that top-notch group
because it's not really working for him at Chelsea as much as he would like it to work at Chelsea so there's that
do you want to touch on the rest of the round
um because we have some interesting matchups let me just make sure I get my
draw right because on Google they don't really quite have it accurate because
you can't see uh where the information is because it it's uh it's dependent on
whether all the how all these draws go so this is for
March 28th oh sorry February 28th through March 2nd
here are the matchups Southampton will get Luton the winner of Luton versus
Grimsby Leicester city will face Blackburn or Birmingham Stoke City gets Brighton Brighton really
good chance here to um to win a trophy if they can keep moving as as noted wrexham or Sheffield face
Tottenham Fulham or Sutherland get leads Fulham Fulham versus leads is like an
Americans uh Americans pass versus America's future uh Bristol City versus
Manchester City city get a good draw I'm sure someone's complaining United will go sorry United will host West Ham and then
Ipswich or Burnley will play Sheffield Wednesday or Fleetwood which is crazy uh I didn't mention one
um one item that I did want to cover Weston McKinney has signed for leads so Tyler Adams Aaronson
and McKinney all at Leeds now so the United States of Leeds has really really
picked up so we are now much more connected to that group of Americans are
all playing for Jesse Marsh American coach American engine room American number 10 I think that with Somerville
and yonto uh leads should be a really good time and really worth seeing
I don't have anything else I love you all equally but different
