50000 people went to Rhein Energie Stadium in Cologne to watch the UEFA Youth League match today.

Why?

I assume because it’s fun to do.

There are plenty of other youth games that don’t get 10% of that crowd, so what was so special about that particular match?

Maybe they’d heard that the TAN Poster Of The Year was going to be making a special guest appearance?

Dave Kitson: The Secret Footballer, 106 Points & Why I Hated The Premier League

Highlighted by the op:
~8min “The only place I felt any emotion was Anfield…‘This Is Anfield’ sign is like a bullet in the head if you’re an opposition player”
~35min “[The Guardian] gave me one rule - don’t upset the Liverpool fans”

Hmmm, I never knew Kitson was The Secret Footballer.

So that poses the question, which was the greater reveal, The Secret Footballer or Parched?

Sadly not always been the case this season…:unamused_face:

I saw it spoken about as fact that he was TSF all the way back when twitter was still a thing but didn’t realize it was officially confirmed. I think he dropped too many hints over time that people worked it out.

Kane with a few more goals today.

Luis Figo reveals he was in talks to sign for Liverpool:

“At that time I was talking with Benitez, he was in Liverpool. But, well in the end, nothing happened, that’s it.”

Cool story bro.

I actually do remember the tentative links at the time.

I don’t usually watch The Overlap but I thought their recent interview with Ange Postecoglu was really interesting - despite the horrific ads that Gary Neville does to the camera for Huel.

Would be nice if someone SponsorBlock those ads on YT. :rofl:

I watch most Overlaps and looked forward to that Ange big interview, but was a bit disappointed with the quality of questions.
