It’s important to know that the social media ban for under 16s is not a ban for under 16s.
It is a ban on *selected* social media for EVERYONE. Until you identify yourself.
Nowhere in the source post is ‘DEI’ mentioned, because DEI is specifically American terminology - it’s now been weaponised by the US far right and it’s being pushed on the UK by US far right actors. This account is either acting in bad faith or isn’t British.
Doesn't mean loads the morning after but that was a performance that showed the importance of Martin Odegaard.
Arsenal's press - led by him - looked so different. Must start the remaining five matches.
Mad how him, Saka and Havertz haven't started together since Dec. 2024. #afc
Alex Manninger Best Saves - Premier League & FA Cup 1997/98
Comp of his best saves during a vital period in the 97/98 season when Seaman went out injured at a vital time. Some huge performances especially vs Man Utd in the league at Old Trafford & West Ham in the FA Cup QF - RIP
Two things bother me about the narrative building around Arsenal.
First, we're told constantly that the Premier League is the most competitive league in the world. Fine. So what does it mean to be consistently fighting for the title in that environment? You can't celebrate the league's brutal competitiveness and then dismiss sustained title challenges as not good enough. Pick one.
Second, and IMO this matters more, failure in elite sport is not losing. Luis Enrique said it. Many others have said versions of it. Failure is not trying again. It's accepting the ceiling. It's going through the motions. Arteta has never done that. Every setback has been fuel for the next attempt.
The problem is social media runs on binary outcomes. Win or fail. Hero or fraud. No room for nuance. No room for the manager who rebuilt a club into genuine title contenders and is still hungry for more.
Simeone has been at Atlético for over a decade. Two league titles, two Champions League finals. Still no European Cup. Nobody serious calls that failure. They call it one of the great managerial tenures in modern football. And I'm convinced that given 14 years like Simeone, Mikel will win more leagues than him.
Arteta may or may not win the league this year. He may not lift the Champions League this year or next. But as long as he keeps pushing, keeps trying, keeps competing at this level, failure isn't what this is.
Find another name for it
By the way, if City wins the league, the achievement would of course be enormous.
Our latest documentary, The Bibi Files, is banned in Israel. Actually.
The reason is simple and draconian. This film exposes years of stories the Netanyahu government wants to keep hidden. Over-the-top corruption allegations, shady backroom deals, the prime minister’s anti-U.S. geopolitical maneuvers, and so much more. The Bibi Files has it all.
Featuring insider testimony and leaked interrogation footage, this new documentary reveals a side of power that regular citizens were never meant to see. As America dives deeper into the Iran War, understanding who is pulling the strings matters more than ever.
For a full exposé on the man at the center of it all, watch The Bibi Files on TCN: https://t.co/TcZMAuObaz
