Remembering Bradley Lowery on what would have been his 15th birthday. Forever in our hearts ❤️

A new manager, departing striker, and a season in chaos ends in European glory. You’ve heard the story, but not like this. UNTOLD UK: LIVERPOOL’S MIRACLE OF ISTANBUL premieres 19 May, featuring interviews from Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher, Rafael Benitez, Xabi Alonso and more.

He was only doing what everyone else was doing last Thursday.

He’s so adorable, man.

👏🏼 Union Berlin coach Marie Louise Eta becomes the first female manager to win a game in Bundesliga. The first one in top 5 leagues as well, huge achievement. ❤️🤍

NTT20 at 10. On May 11th 2016, we sat down in Ali’s kitchen to record our first podcast. How would Sean Dyche’s Burnley and Aitor Karanka’s Boro - plus strikers Andre Gray and Jordan Rhodes - do in the Premier League? And how will Carlos Carvalhal and Barry Bannan’s Sheff Wed fare in the Play-Offs? Then we had to work out a name for this show. We ended with something a bit weird and a bit of a mouthful - Not The Top 20 ffs - but it wouldn’t matter much would it because who would actually listen? At first, a few hundred of you. Now, tens of thousands more. And now this is our full-time job and we absolutely love it. So much has happened in that time - too much to remember on this 30 minute tube journey. The landscape of media, podcasting and football itself is completely different. Specifically, how about the EFL content landscape? Bloody hell. We started with a mission to provide Football League podcast chat to fans of Football League clubs, because it literally didn’t exist. Now, EFL fans have everything they could possibly want at their fingertips. We’re so pleased to be a part of a thriving landscape, so pleased at how many people spend their own time making amazing content around these amazing leagues. Our personal and professional lives certainly look very, very different! We’re lucky to have incredible family and friends, and pleasingly we are still incredibly close friends. There is no doubt that none of this could have happened without the friendship that we already had before we began, and the determination and single-mindedness that we’ve shown as a partnership. Better than the sum of our parts? Absolutely. High floor over high ceiling? No doubt. Our consistency is perhaps what we’re proudest of - we’ve not missing a show during the season for about half a decade now, even when we both had babies within 4 weeks of each other! The content hamster wheel can be relentless but we always spur each other on. What stands out is the sheer number of amount of amazing opportunities we have had because of NTT20. People we’ve met. Friends we’ve made. Work we’ve done. Places we’ve been. Laughs we’ve had. Hot rain, win-to-nil winter, John Seymour, get your Rushian Hepburn-Murphy name etc. It’s honestly beyond anything we could possibly have dreamed, mainly because none of this existed until the last ten years of this history of the world! Thank you to those who have listened to - or watched - the show, and to all of you who have done much more than that. NTT20 Squad. NTT20.COM subscribers. Live show and meet-up attendees. Friendly commenters. Thank you to everyone who has lent us their talents and their time to work for NTT20, to help us do things we can’t do ourselves and make the content so much better and the business so much more viable. Thank you to anyone that has ever paid us, either as sponsor or subscriber or merch-buyer or a TV/radio producer. Building out the business has been exciting & challenging, particularly over the last few years. The exciting highs of a few years of TV work were followed by some scary lows when it all vanished 😬 Anyone that has decided that we’re worthy of some £££ is responsible for the fact that we’re still going, doing more and more and more than ever and owning it all ourselves. We’ve added The England Pod with DCW into the mix and, while that’s one for another day, good God that really has been wild - today we had our Visas approved to go and cover England at a World Cup. What is going on?! Who knows, but let’s not stop to wonder. We’re gonna keep growing and growing and see what happens. This year, NTT20 Pod’s audience has increased by 44%. How on earth that happens ten years in, we’re not sure. We thought people would get bored of us. Maybe they will, but the growth is incredibly encouraging for the next ten… NTT20 at 20? God, that’s going to be a long post. Thank you for reading. Thank you for everything. We march on, EFL till the earth explodes. Beers tonight with 50+ NTT20 ultras. Wow. Go well.

Kim Hellberg's Boro are my favourite side in football right now. What a manager.

@htomufc They have always been a farm club.

Real Madrid, by the way. Real Madrid.

Another brainrot from a former Ferguson disciple. Van Dijk has played in the Premier League for 12 seasons now and has been the best defender in the league (by an enormous distance each time) in all these seasons bar the one he tore his ACL in GW 5.

Why does he play the ball before duelling? Tf is this stupid exercise?

@HandofArsenal Well, Berta gave him an Eredivisie defensive line. Simeone should have grabbed him by the neck.

Simeone and Berta threw hands on the touchline

@AnfieldSector @_pauljoyce 'in the event of him staying'

I think it’s an obvious transfer to happen if Spurs go down.

Always with us 💙 Diogo Jota⭐

Begging to be subbed off when we were getting battered by Liverpool will live long in the memory

The scan to his right, the flick to his left with perfect weight – exactly on the path of Son. Extremely difficult to execute. This is one of the greatest assists in Premier League history.

Pep’s come to see the Vale 👋

Never forget Harry Kane is doing all of this in sketchers

Today, we remember André Silva on what would have been his 26th birthday. Forever one of ours. Never forgotten. 💫

Thickest tweet I’ve ever seen.
