🚨🗣️ | Pep Guardiola Shocked on Arsenal fans Reaction towards Gabriel Magalhaes after missing the Penalty: 🤯

“I have to say something because I saw this and, honestly, it blew my mind. It blew my mind. We know how this business works. Usually, in a Champions League final, a player misses a crucial penalty against a top, top team like PSG, and the next day... it is a disaster for him. The social media, the media, it can be very, very cruel. Very ugly. You expect the anger, the threats, the terrible words. We see it all the time.

But what the Arsenal fans did for Gabriel? Wow. It is something else. Truly. To see a player fail in the most painful moment, and the response from the stadium, from the people, is just... pure love? I am told his shirt sales went up by three hundred and fifty percent in a few days. Three hundred and fifty percent! This is incredible. I have been in football a long, long time, as a player and a manager, and I have never seen anything like it. Never.

You know, you open Facebook, you open Instagram or Twitter, and the narrative is always the same. 'Arsenal fans are insufferable. They are the worst fanbase, they are annoying.' You hear this tag all the time. But I look at this gesture and I think, 'How?' How do they have this tag? If a fanbase can wrap their arms around a player like that, in the darkest moment of the club's history a trophy they have been dying to win for decades then everything we are told online is a lie. It is a massive misconception. They have been judged so harshly.
This shows me who they really are. It shows their class, their humanity, and their loyalty. To behave like this? It is not annoying, it is not insufferable. It is beautiful. They deserve incredible praise for this, because this is what football should be about”

You cannot claim to care about “every child” while continuing to ignore the growing number of children being excluded from education by design.

Children are being pushed into crisis because they do not fit the rigid expectations of compliance-based environments.

The system is failing them.

If the Govt were truly committed to education for all, it would stop silencing children in distress and start acknowledging the reality families are living every day.

I’m calling on the Govt to introduce national support standards so autistic children with PDA profiles are no longer left without protection simply because their needs challenge existing systems.

Whenever l am slightly disrespected by a man, I remember my favorite Michelle Obama lore. There's a story about them dining at a restaurant when they learned the chef used to be Michelle's high school boyfriend

Barack joked,
lf you were still with him, you could have been the owner of this nice restaurant."

Michelle replied,
"No. If I were still with him, he would have been President of the United States."
And that's the energy every woman should have about her own worth.

Some women are celebrating today.
Some are healing.
Some are just trying to survive the day with a smile.
To every woman carrying silent battles 🫶 Happy Women’s Day. You’re stronger than you think. 🤍

🚨 Luisao (Benfica legend): "I spent a large part of my life at Benfica. I grew as a player, as a man, and as a captain. I won titles, experienced unforgettable nights, and defended that jersey with everything I had. Benfica is part of my history. And it is precisely for that reason, and not despite it, that I feel obligated to speak."

In recent days, I have positioned myself against any form of racism in the episode involving Vini Jr. Not because of nationality, nor because of controversy, but as a matter of principle. Racism has no club, no jersey, no side. And it cannot be relativized.

It all started with a celebration, a gesture of joy after a goal. And it's necessary to state the obvious: dancing is not disrespectful, it's an expression. Football has always been about emotion. The joy of some is the sorrow of others. It has always been that way.

Great players have celebrated by dancing: Cristiano, Ronaldo Fenômeno, Ronaldinho... Dancing has never been the problem. What cannot be acceptable is turning a celebration into a justification for racist insults. Nothing justifies that. Not provocation, not rivalry, not the heat of the game. A stadium is not a territory without values. Respect continues to be paramount within it.

I too have been the target of insults, including racist ones, after speaking out. I was called a m*nkey, a Judas, they said I'll never set foot in the Luz stadium again. This hurts, but it won't make me back down. I may have ignored sporting provocations throughout my career, but I will never remain silent in the face of discrimination from a minority that does not represent the club I love.

Benfica has a huge history, respected throughout the world. A history bigger than any isolated episode. That's what needs to prevail.

My love for the club remains intact, as does my respect and gratitude for its fans. My support is non-negotiable, at the Estádio da Luz or any other stadium.

Football is passion and intensity. But, above all, it's humanity. And humanity does not tolerate racism.

May we emerge from this episode better. As a club, as fans, as a society. Because games come and go. Titles come and go. But character and values ​​remain."

[𝐟𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐯 @heis_fede]

Jose Mourinho really looked us in the eyes and called Vini Jr a “fool” for getting racially abused. Whiles their fans sat in their seats making ‘monkey gestures’ at Vini.

This video must get the maximum attention and this man gets arrested.

Remember when Google dropped this Black History Month commercial in 2020?

That’s what honoring Black history looks like, telling the truth loudly, not sanitizing it when it makes people uncomfortable.

Happy Black History Month.

@sakamvent @MoAmali Because they are winners and have a winning mentality. I’m not sure how you would expect or want elite players to react?

[graham chatterley @grahamchatterl2]

@greeborunner These are the misbehaviours?

Is child development understanding in secondary really this poor?

These aren't poor behaviours, they are children developing for goodness sake

[Square Peg @teamsquarepeg]

@grahamchatterl2 The disdain built in for primary aged children (calling out etc) and the “sins of enthusiasm” from primary aged teachers. Hells teeth.

How about we reframe it as developmentally appropriate engagement from 6 year olds and joy of the job from staff?

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

My fav part of London's New Year's Eve 2026 celebration was the scene with The Lionesses 👏

Followed by: This Is England

"Caribbean barbers with the sharpest trims
Christian neighbours saying happy Hannukah mate
And Muslim mums saying merry Christmas love
England is about loving each other
No matter what colour you are
Where you're from
Or who your God is
This is England
This is the United Kingdom"

10 Things Educators Need During a School Break and Why

1. Sleep without an alarm
Your nervous system has been living on adrenaline and cortisol. Deep rest helps reset the brain restore emotional regulation and improve memory mood and immune function.

2. Silence and nothingness
The brain needs quiet to downshift from constant decision making. Mental stillness reduces cognitive overload and allows the prefrontal cortex to come back online.

3. A non rushed bathroom visit
Having to suppress basic bodily needs keeps the brain in a low level stress state. Unrushed bathroom access restores a sense of safety dignity and control which directly calms the nervous system.

4. Laughter that makes your stomach hurt
Laughter releases endorphins and dopamine which naturally reduce stress and anxiety. It also reminds your brain and body that joy still exists outside of survival mode.

5. Connection with people who do not need anything from you
Educators give all day long. Low demand relationships restore emotional energy and protect against compassion fatigue.

6. A slow bath or shower in the morning
Warm water activates the parasympathetic nervous system lowering cortisol and muscle tension. A slow start to the day tells the brain you are safe and not in crisis mode.

7. Food that is eaten slowly and actually enjoyed
Mindful eating supports digestion stabilizes blood sugar and calms the nervous system. Your body deserves nourishment not rushed fuel.

8. Time without solving problems
Constant problem solving keeps the brain in threat detection mode. Breaks from decision making allow the nervous system to recalibrate and reduce mental exhaustion.

9. Reminders that you are more than your job
Identity overload increases burnout risk. Engaging in hobbies or creativity activates different neural pathways and restores a sense of wholeness.

10. A true break with compassion for yourself
Compassion fatigue is real. Prolonged caring without recovery depletes emotional reserves. Rest and self kindness rebuild resilience empathy and long term sustainability.

Final Thought
School breaks are not a luxury. They are neurological and emotional repair time. Rest is not quitting. Rest is what allows educators to return regulated connected and able to keep doing the work that matters so deeply.

Yesterday at the Education Select Committee, I was asked about behaviour in schools.

The truth? Behaviour challenges are rising because schools are having to act like a fourth emergency service - with ever reducing resources.

What’s needed:
• sustained investment in support staff and services
• a more flexible curriculum
• and let’s use falling pupil numbers to reduce class sizes

Schools can’t keep doing more with less.

Today a Muslim man risked his own life to save Jewish people. That example alone shows us all how we should be. Stop feeding racism, prejudice & division. Heroes can come in every colour, religion & demographic. Ahmed al Ahmed showed us the best version of humanity.

[Gerry🧠🌱 @gerrydiamond71]

Pupils don't magically know how to self regulate. Their brain & nervous systems are still under construction.
When they are overwhelmed & dysregulated,what they need most is not isolation, punishment & discipline. It's connection,your presence & your tone of voice.🧠🌱

@dave_mcpartlin Agreed @dave_mcpartlin For way too long there are good people working within a broken system which, ultimately, is at a human cost and is unsustainable

Dear ladies never forget that: The same world that shames me for being a single mother also shames you for not being a mother and shames another woman for having too many children..lt shames one woman for having a child at the age of 19 because she's too young but also shames another for having at 36 because she's too old..lt shames a woman who marries young as well as the one who marries old..It shames women who don't have beautiful bodies and shames those who go under the knife to get the bodies. This world shames all women, not a single one of us is spared, not a single one. So love and make yourselves happy.
