We're Ryan, Dan, and Ant, three 20 something lads, from Birkenhead, who love football. 24% of women and 13% of men in England are diagnosed with depression in their lifetime. But men are three times more likely to die from suicide than women. We wanted to know why. Join us every Monday and Friday as we speak to people from the wide world of football, all about Mental Health, in an attempt to learn more about it, and encourage men to feel more comfortable talking about their health and wellbeing, and attempt to remove the stigma that still surrounds the topic.

Misplaced masculinity, noisy minority, or misunderstood?
Today we're joined by The Guardian journalist, Barney Ronay, to discuss themes he wrote about in his article from October 2019, entitled 'England right to call out racism but noisy minority is sending a different message'

Why do England fans garner such an uncomfortable reputation abroad? Does their behaviour discourage women and children from attending? Is it a masculinity issue?
There is no doubt that over the past five years, the behaviour of a certain section of England fans has raised red flags about football hooliganism. Behaviour we thought had been consigned to history has reared its ugly head again in cities such as Lille, Marseille, Prague, and Amsterdam. We ask Barney about how big the problem is, where it's come from, and what it means for the future of following England abroad.
