Rather than ask the question of why we are banning social media for U16s, perhaps a better questions is why did we allow social media platforms to turn our children into brain rot addicts, endlessly doom-scrolling meaningless viral nonsense?
Enough is enough!

I hope they keep giving directors trilogies of Batman films with like a 10 year gap between each of them.
Official logo for ‘THE BATMAN: PART 2’.

One of my favourite moments in any film ever.
Used to watch the film from this point in the film studies library at Uni when I should’ve been reading about some random Eastern European film from the 1950s. No thanks.
ROCKY II was released 47 years ago today.
Bill Conti’s “Gonna Fly Now” became so popular that it reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Few movie themes have become as inseparable from a character as Rocky’s iconic training anthem.

BATMAN BEGINS was released 21 years ago today. Acclaimed as one of the great superhero origin movies and the film that catapulted the career of Christopher Nolan, the making of story is mysterious as The League of Shadows…

With Joe Wildsmith and Jon McLaughlin departing, and Seny Dieng likely to follow, Boro will be looking for a goalkeeper this summer 🧤
But will they be on the hunt for a new no.1, or back up to Sol Brynn? 🤔 #UTB

For anyone wondering, it’s only been a positive thing in Aus. No one even talks about it anymore which can only mean the kids don’t care.
The ones desperate for it will find workarounds, but the majority have found better things to do with their spare time.
BREAKING: Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has announced a social media ban for under-16s.

Cape Verde centre back Roberto 'Pico' Lopes has spent his entire career in Ireland, ignored a LinkedIn message from Cape Verde FA asking him to play for them because it was in Portuguese. A year later, they sent it in English. He accepted. An all-time great World Cup story.

Someone needs to analyse Bergkamp and Kluivert as a partnership.
Does Bergkamp assist all his international goals?
Everyone compilation I see seems to suggest it.

Download a sample chapter of my new book here, setting the scene for the most incredible of European finals.
The champions of Spain v the champions of Italy.
Barca with 4 league titles in a row. Milan with three.
Two iconic teams. One iconic final.
🏆 The Final: In Pursuit of Greatness tells the incredible story of the last ever European Cup final before the Champions League overhaul. Barcelona’s ‘Dream Team’ clashed with Capello’s AC Milan in a match that defined an era, producing one of the most remarkable performances in European football history.
