James Nelson-Joyce: Scholes RUINED My Childhood

Supporting Liverpool as a child gives James Nelson-Joyce plenty to discuss with Paul Scholes, though the episode title suggests some memories are happier than others: "James Nelson-Joyce: Scholes RUINED My Childhood".

His visit supplies much of the week's material on The Good, The Bad & The Football. Alongside his acting breakthrough, the conversation with Scholes, Nicky Butt and Paddy McGuinness covers his Liverpool upbringing. Separate uploads pick up his invitation to Liverpool's title afterparty and a favourite-player selection game. The full episode has reached roughly 176,000 views.

The week's most-watched upload takes inspiration from Nelson-Joyce's crime drama, but belongs firmly in make-believe. In "Scholes & Butt's ULTIMATE Man United Firm", the former teammates assemble a fictional criminal crew: Roy Keane gets command, Jaap Stam supplies the muscle and Wayne Rooney becomes the runner. Viewers are discussing the casting choices, particularly the immediate agreement over Keane.

That excerpt also carries the channel's strongest daily momentum. The Liverpool favourites game remains busy too, alongside the newer "\"Carragher Is Better Than Saliba!\"" clip, keeping Nelson-Joyce's football opinions in circulation beyond the main interview.

Across a fortnight's worth of uploads packed into seven days, subscribers grew modestly, while daily views are running at nearly twice their usual level. FILTHYFELLAS is also having a livelier-than-usual spell; Premier Sports is quieter. Among the nearby football channels, The Good, The Bad & The Football recorded the largest weekly views gain, with Nelson-Joyce's visit providing both Liverpool talk and an unusually imaginative United team sheet.
