Cole Palmer and the quiz show moment

[PenaltyKing]

You can tell straight away this sort of clip is exactly why football content gets clipped and shared because it is harmless, funny and everyone can pretend they are above it while still watching every second of it, Palmer is just there looking like he has won the lottery and the whole thing becomes a personality piece whether people like it or not, and that is before you even get into the questions themselves which are clearly meant to make him look good and fair enough because he does look good, but the reaction online is always the same people moaning about bias and others pretending it is the greatest quiz performance ever seen, and somewhere in the middle is just a lad enjoying a bit of attention and that is probably the most normal thing in football for once

At a basic level the clip works because Palmer looks relaxed, the format is quick, and the questions are obviously designed to be accessible rather than brutal. That is fine, it is just a bit of fun. But the more I see people acting like this is proof of genius or proof of some rigged setup the more it winds me up because both takes are over the top and neither are remotely interesting after about ten seconds, just let the lad smile and move on, bloody hell
