The latest episode of Keeping The Faith - the first-ever X Originals content series commissioned in the UK, exclusively sponsored by Sure For Men - is out now! Episode 08 explores the notion of team spirit, how it is engendered and the importance of sticking together.
The episode kicks off with Lucas Pires reflecting on his red card against Newcastle United and the split second that saw the Clarets reduced to ten men on Tyneside - but the story doesn't stay there for long.
Pires shifts the focus, from regret to resolve, speaking about the way the team pulled together, dug in and refused to fold, coming so close to salvaging a share of the spoils in the dying embers.
Back at the training ground, we hear from outgoing Lead Player Care, Jack Tebbutt, walking familiar corridors for one last time, with handshakes, embraces and laughter through emotion, revealing the depth of his impact beyond the pitch.
Team spirit and togetherness continue to be the main themes throughout the episode, as the Clarets' internal head tennis final - Messrs Broja and Pires vs Messrs Estève and Luis - reaches its finale.
It’s loud, raw, and utterly joyful — yet beneath the humour lies something deeper: the power of camaraderie, bonding, and shared release. This is how togetherness is built — not in team meetings, but in moments like these.
Next, we hear from one of the finalists, Broja, and his former Chelsea team-mate Bashir Humphreys, as the pair discuss the team, the challenge ahead, and the need to dig deeper than ever.
Finally, the episode concludes with gaffer Scott Parker speaking calmly and deliberately. Not about excuses. About belief.
He reflects on the team — on who they are, and who they’re becoming. His philosophy is clear: togetherness is non-negotiable.
