This interview here. Is exactly why most players Love this man! Honesty, integrity and a desire to do the best job he can! Rovers fans, I get the frustration, but trust me, back this man and the playing staff and they will do the BEST that is possible 💙🤍
He stepped out of the London Stadium at 0-0 last night. After 38 years, a West Ham supporter is calling it quits.
“Born with Claret & Blue balloons in my crib. First game in '88 against Liverpool. A shift worker since 15, but I've always carved out time for matches. However, tonight against Wolves, I left at 0-0. I'm officially done attending games. It’s not about the football— it’s the lifeless matchday experience. £7.50 for terrible beer, 1.5-hour commutes, and sitting near tourists who can’t tell if it’s a cup match or clueless vloggers endlessly rambling into cameras for live streams while real fans just shake their heads.
I defended the London Stadium for a decade against the critics. I accepted the Boleyn was a thing of the past. But tonight, it hit hard: modern football and this stadium are no longer made for folks like us. I adore West Ham; it’s etched on my skin, but from now on, I’ll be watching from home. The spirit has left the building. ⚒️”
Manchester City and Norway striker Erling Haaland was asked in a recent interview how he felt about Lionel Messi during the World Cup.
“I didn’t get the chance to face him, which is something I was actually hoping for,” Haaland said. “I wanted that match. I wanted to go at him directly and humble him on the biggest stage.”
He continued without holding back:
“FIFA has always protected him. The system bends in his favour and everyone knows it. He’s a fraud who’s been carried by referees and narratives for years. I’m still pissed about the 2023 Ballon d’Or. That award was rigged. He didn’t deserve it, and the whole ceremony felt like a setup to hand it to him.”
Haaland added:
“Players like him get treated like untouchables while others have to fight for every bit of recognition. It’s a joke.”
A father who never met his son. A son who came to rest beside him.
James Hughes Kirton died in November 1918, just two days before the First World War ended. His wife was expecting their second child, David, who would be born months later and grow up knowing his father only through stories and a headstone.
In 1940, David followed his father's path into military service, joining the RAF. At just 21 years old, he was killed during the Battle of Britain while flying a Spitfire with No. 65 Squadron. He was buried beside the father he never had the chance to know.
The family's heartbreak did not end there. David's older brother, Squadron Leader James "Jim" Kirton, was killed in a flying accident in 1944, leaving their mother to mourn her husband and both of her sons across two world wars.
Some families gave more than anyone should ever have to give. The Kirton family was one of them.

I wasn’t there, however this guy was:
"I’d like to put the record straight, because I was there.
People often forget how the Argentine troops were treated after the Falklands War. We treated their wounded, and many would not have survived without the medical care they received. They were fed, and their officers were even allowed to keep their sidearms for their own safety.
After facing each other in battle, that wasn’t easy, but it was the right thing to do.
They were fed, cared for, and many were transported home on Canberra. We also cleaned up the mess that had been left behind. There was no complaining—we just got on with the job.
Many of the Argentine troops were exhausted and relieved to be going home after experiencing the reality of war. They were defeated and demoralised, and many couldn’t even look you in the eye.
Many of those young soldiers were more afraid of their own officers and the military junta than they were of us. They had been sent into an impossible situation by leaders who would never share their hardships.
The Falklands’ climate and terrain are brutal, and the weather is unforgiving. I saw young men who were hungry, frightened, dirty, wet and cold, longing to be back with their families in Argentina. Many I spoke to, while sharing hot drinks and sweets, told me they never wanted to be there in the first place.
So before anyone starts abusing me, my family or my brothers-in-arms, remember this: we were there. We experienced the full cycle of war, and we also witnessed the immense relief of the Falkland Islanders when the invaders finally left.
To those in Argentina who still believe the stories told by defeated generals, I’d simply say this: many of us were there, and we know what happened. Don’t confuse propaganda with the reality witnessed by those who fought and those who surrendered.
The war is over. Britain won. History cannot be changed. It’s time to stop reliving old arguments and instead focus on building a better future for the people of Argentina rather than making repeated claims over the Falkland Islands.
As my grandmother used to say, “Children should be seen and not heard.” Sometimes it’s wiser to listen to those who were actually there.
War tests not only courage in battle, but also humanity in victory. I am proud that we showed both.
Feel free to share and comment “war is not a political football “ maybe you should try it sometime it’s not advisable
Lives broken families destroyed
Respect to those lost to war and those who are still fighting a war long ago."

@AuschwitzMuseum If you did take photos, you should hang your head in shame . This isn't a theme park, it's a pilgrimage not a place to take pictures but to pay your respect to the millions who where murdered .
Huge congratulations to Dan Williams who received the @BlackburnLeague Secretary of the Year Award at the Annual General Meeting last night.

🚨BREAKING: Henry Nowak's father speaks out on the murder of his son:
"He told officers he could not breathe NINE TIMES, he said he had been stabbed FOUR TIMES, but the officer replied saying' 'I don't think you have, mate.'"
What a brave man.
My heart is full being involved in this marvellous bringing together of British Patriots and Culture. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🙏✌️✊
No screaming.
No fires raging through the streets.
No shattered glass.
No threats, no machetes, no chants of “Allahu Akbar.”
Just ordinary, decent, well-mannered Brits standing together with quiet dignity fighting to save the country they love from descending into barbarism.
This is what real love for Britain looks like. ❤️🇬🇧
The tide is turning.
Who’s standing with them? Drop a ❤️ and repost if Britain still means something to you.
