    Hey. I want to talk again about mental health and what I’ve learnt from continuing to deal with depression. I hope this thread can help people who have been in or know people who are in what is a difficult position.
    So here goes. Been quiet on here because I’ve been off work since September with depression. To say it’s been tough would be an understatement. As I’ve learnt, depression is by no means a linear process but I’m relieved to be coming out the other side of this tunnel. (Thread)

    Danes singing: “You’re just a shit part of Scotland.” Brutal.

    This stuff only gets said when a Premier League team doesn’t get to the semi-finals. Otherwise, all is right in the world. 🙃

    My hero of the Bundesliga weekend - this Fortuna Düsseldorf fan. Carrying at least seven beers *and* a bratwurst. #ImpossibleIsNothing

    ⚠️Here is Hoffenheim’s Andrej Kramaric and his interview with us on @ESPNFC after their 5-0 defeat at Bayern. “This is one big shit season” “If I want to say the things on my mind about the club, I will probably get the biggest fine in the history of the Bundesliga.”

    In bizarre scenes at the Arena, a drunk FC Köln fan (yes, FC Köln) has just invaded the (very empty) pitch. It took him a while but he got there.

    It’s nothing new but the rate at which misinformation spreads on here is frightening. This is former Crystal Palace manager Alan Smith, not an Israeli representative 🤦‍♂️
    🇪🇸🇮🇱🚨‼️ The famous Spanish coach Pep Guardiola refused to shake hands with the Israeli representative.

    That is not an Israeli representative. That is former Crystal Palace manager Alan Smith. This incident is from the 2023 Community Shield which took place on August 6, 2023. sportbible.com/football/footb…

    Just spoke to Thomas Müller about Bayern’s 3-1 win in Stuttgart. “How do the British people say it? You have to show it on a windy night in Stoke. Today it is not windy and Stuttgart is not Stoke but Stuttgart is a team that plays very well in the last weeks.”

    Not sure how to put this but Freiburg coach Christian Streich nearly made me cry at the end of our interview last night. 🥲 Auf 🇩🇪:“You are a very, very nice man. Your whole expression. Everything. Not because we won. Really. It’s really nice with you.”
