Incredible scenes on the end of Lionel Messi’s foot at the Camp Nou have left us as giddy as a certain anchor’s aunt. We look back at the setbacks that Liverpool and Spurs faced in Europe, rate Ajax’s chances of winning the damn thing and also wonder if Brendan Rodgers might be the crucial element in deciding where the Premier League title parks itself come the end of the season. Along the way we speculate on the behind the scenes history of the Scholes family, wonder if time is running out for Andros Townsend to prove Marcus right and probably use the word “effluvia” too much. Standard procedure, really.

We present to you an in-depth interview with Jordan Gardner (@mrjordangardner), Chairman & Co-Owner of FC Helsingør (@fchelsingor). Earlier this year, Jordan and group of American investors bought a club that plays in Denmark's 1st Division, which is the second highest football league in Denmark. Part of why they bought the club is to act upon a vision to develop American youth talent while getting them acclimated to playing European football. He gives us a glimpse into the journey of why Helsingør became the right place for the club, the vision for the club's development model, and an idea of what football is like in Scandinavia. Thanks for taking the time to speak with us, Jordan. Email me at [email protected] for a transcript.
