This week on In The Mixer we welcome ex-head of development of Kick It Out, Troy Townsend.
Troy shares his true feelings on Racism in football and the mental toll his role at Kick It Out had on him. A conversation that led to a raw and passionate insight from Joleon Lescott on what he experienced throughout his playing days and why he doesn't believe racism will go away in his lifetime.
With the Premier League returning this weekend, we also discuss one of the biggest games of any season Liverpool and Manchester United, as Troy tells us the real reason Liverpool have struggled so far this season.
We also continue our Super 6 Fan League with Arsenal fan who will be looking to extend the lead at the top to Joleon and Olivia!
