✍️ Spend my days posting about Blackburn Rovers, Orlando Magic and movies 🤘
This week, I was fortunate enough to get my hands on WWE 2K24 a little early and review my very first video game!
I had an absolute blast playing the game, and think wrestling fans are going to love it!
Check out my review below 👇
#WWE2K24
I’m still in absolute awe at the unbelievable artwork throughout
#SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse
I’ve never seen an animated movie look so damn beautiful. Every single frame wouldn’t feel out of place hung in an art gallery.
No experience like seeing this on the big screen! 😍
Just a reminder that this is how WWE reacted after the first allegations about Vince McMahon came out.
Fucking absurd stuff and there’s no way they didn’t know about all of this.
NXT paying tribute to Jay Briscoe is a reminder that despite the tribalism that some fans push, pro wrestling is just a huge family.
So happy to see them pay respects like this.

My father has never been in my life and I was with raised by a single mother who was the only role model I had growing up and I turned out just fine. The idea that you need a father figure in your life is a load of shit
The Little Mermaid was easily one of the best Disney remakes we’ve seen in recent years.
Some truly beautiful set pieces, a wonderful soundtrack and great performances across the board.
Halle Bailey was exceptional as Ariel, she truly owned the role.

Look at this challenge from Adam Wharton against Burnley today… You can take the lad out of Blackburn, but you can’t take Blackburn out of the lad 😏

It’s a true testament to how disorganised and shambolic Warner Bros have handled DC over the years that they had Henry Cavill return at the end of Black Adam and tease a future meeting between the two characters, before deciding he’ll never play Superman again just months later🤦♂️
Just realised tomorrow is probably the last time van Hecke ever plays at Ewood Park as a Rovers player again. 💔
What a player he’s been for us 🥹

There aren’t many players in the Rovers squad who will have been as passionate about today as these two.
As boyhood Blackburn fans, leaving them out today was inexplicable. Might not have changed the result, but definitely would have seen more fight!

Also, Leicester City fans chanting “Jamie Vardy, he’s won more than you” to a Blackburn Rovers side who have actually won more silverware than Leicester themselves is hilariously ironic 😂

That was a great match, but the ending fucking sucked. Makes absolutely no sense that Kevin would have just sat in the back and watched everything unfold until after Sami officially lost 😂
As well as for his incredible pro wrestling career, this is how Jay Briscoe should be remembered.
Just a great father who loved his daughter very much.
Can we just take some time to appreciate the new gaffer?! 😍
Not even supposed to take charge until Monday, but came down to the touchline to lead when Rovers were under pressure. 👏
The sort of leadership we need at this club! 👊

Fast X was about as ridiculous, over the top and cliché-riddled as you would expect from a Fast and Furious movie, but Jason Momoa was fantastic as the latest villain.
He was clearly having the time of his life and the movie is worth watching for his performance alone!
#FAST10
How absurd is it to think that Dominic Hyam cost Rovers just £1.5m last summer.
He’s been exceptional at the back all season long and has played a huge role in this incredible run the club is currently on! 🔥

🚨JDT appreciation post 🚨
This man is doing an incredible job! Lost key players in the summer, let down by the board in January, half the fans have been wanting him gone all season, but he’s got Rovers well in the playoff race.
Perfect man for the job 🤩

#EFL
Also, a performance well worthy of his 100th league appearance for Rovers, for Tyrhys Dolan. 😍
It’s easy to forget how young he still is, but 100 league appearances at 21 years old is a hell of an achievement. What a talent 👏
#Rovers

#EFL
Looking at the current top five, only Rovers haven’t been a Premier League team within the last two years.
Just goes to show how impressive it is that a club on Blackburn’s budget is competing with these teams and their parachute payments! 👊
#Rovers

#EFL
When you think about everything that’s gone on at Rovers over the last month, to go out and put on a performance like that against a side that was smashing PSG earlier this season, it’s incredible.
Couldn’t be prouder to be a Rovers fan tonight 👏
#Rovers

#EFL
Rovers are now unbeaten in their last eight games, losing just once in 2023. 🔥
Three cleans sheets in their last five games and back in the playoff places 👀
Kinda makes all the negative talk around the club a little silly, doesn’t it? 🤷♂️
#Rovers

Tony Mowbray leaving Rovers and making the playoffs in his first season at Sunderland feels like when you break up with someone and start to question whether you were the problem all along 🤷♂️😂

Don’t tend to post about my personal life too often on here, but last night I asked my girlfriend of nearly eight years to marry me and she said yes 🎉
Happiest guy on earth right now 🙂
The result wasn’t the greatest, but how damn satisfying is it seeing this man back at his best? 😍
Despite two career-threatening injuries, Bradley Dack is proving he is still one of the best players in the championship. 🔥
#Rovers

#EFL
I’ve seen enough, it’s time we see more of Dilan Markanday in the league. 🤷♂️
The guy keeps proving he deserves a chance every time he steps on the pitch and he was brilliant again today. 🔥

Of the 15 players featured in yesterday’s victory over Birmingham, seven came from the Blackburn Rovers academy.
Incredible work being done 🤩

Regardless of today’s result, can we just show some appreciation for this man.
JDT has got Rovers deep in the playoff race in March, as well as one win away from a trip to Wembley and FA Cup semi-finals👊
He’s doing a remarkable job with this young squad🤩
#Rovers

#EFL
Regardless of what’s happened, if Joe Rothwell is still a Rovers player after today then we need to back him 100% as he helps us push on for promotion.
Booing him will only risk spoiling the great atmosphere surrounding the club right now and won’t benefit anyone!
#Rovers

Let’s be clear, Rovers don’t win that game last night if it wasn’t for this man in between the sticks.
Aynsley Pears made some incredible saves to keep the game level early on. 🤩
What a keeper! 🔥

As a Rovers fan, it’s no secret that Burnley aren’t my favourite club, but to take one sick individual’s actions and use it to tarnish the club and entire fanbase with the same brush just isn’t it.
They’re as disgusted by this as everyone else.
Burnley Football Club are shocked and saddened to hear of the passing away of Blackpool fan, Tony Johnson, in the early hours of this morning.
We share our thoughts and condolences with his family, friends and everyone at Blackpool Football Club.
Absolutely devastating news.
Anthony ‘Rumble’ Johnson has passed away at 38 years old.
One of the most powerful punchers I’ve ever seen. R.I.P Rumble ❤️
Do you know how bad you’ve got to be to see a team hit with a 10-point deduction this early in the season and still be below them in the table 😅
The Dingles are a gift that just keeps giving 🔥

Leicester City are Championship bound and Blackburn Rovers are no longer the only Premier League champions to have been relegated after winning the trophy 👀
Thank god that record no longer stands 😂

I tell you what as well, how impressive was this young man off the bench last night?!
Dilan Markanday hasn’t had the best start to life at Ewood, but he rose to the occasion last night. 🔥
Was causing all sorts of problems for those Newcastle defenders 👏
#Rovers

#EFL
Losing Bradley Dack could have been a huge blow for Rovers, but Sammie Szmodics has been absolutely brilliant since stepping in 🤩
Quickly become one of the better players in the side and has more than earned his place in the starting lineup! 🔥
#Rovers

#EFL
Challengers was a mesmerising experience. An incredible tale of determination and betrayal with insane performances from its three stars. 👏
Zendaya was breathtaking, but it’s a star-making showing for both Faist and O’Connor.
The action, the score, all brilliant!
This man has been a revelation since the World Cup.
JRC has quickly become one of the most important players in the Rovers squad and one of the first on the team sheet 🔥
This assist is the epitome of how good he’s been lately ⭐️
#Rovers

#EFL
Any Rovers fans sending abuse to Joe Rothwell, his girlfriend or claiming they’ll hit his son are certainly no fans I want associated with this wonderful football club.
Embarrassing and vile behaviour!
#Rovers
Per the Lancashire Telegraph: JDT has revealed that he expects Bradley Dack to return after the International break against Birmingham!
So happy the injury wasn’t as serious as first thought 😍
#Rovers

#EFL
Fucking wild that I’m already seeing Rovers fans turning on Semir Telalovic after he looked slow yesterday.
Came off the bench when Rovers were under pressure and probably should have had an assist. Just give the lad some time to adjust the English football!
#Rovers

#EFL
Bradley Dack now has a goal or an assist in four of the last five Rovers’ games. 👀
Say what you want about the rest of the side right now, but this man is back to his best! 🔥
#Rovers

#EFL
One of the best things about this season was the emergence of Scott Wharton as a first-team player. 👊
Incredible year for the defender and hopefully next year he’s even better! 👀
#Rovers

#EFL
With the recent departure of Thomas Kaminski, Ryan Hedges is now the oldest player at Rovers, at 28 years old.
This means that for the first time, there’s no player at the club who was alive when we won the Premier League 😳
#Rovers
🔵⚪️ |
#EFL
How crazy is it to think that Rovers started the season with the best goalkeeper in the Championship and now they’re finishing the season with two of the best keepers in the Championship 👀
Incredible depth at the back! 😍
#Rovers
🔵⚪️ |
#EFL
This man has been nothing short of immense so far this season.
Another couple of goals from him today and he’s quickly becoming one of the most important players at Rovers 😍
#Rovers
🔵⚪️ |
#EFL
That’s a solid point against a team chasing promotion to the Premier League.
Say what you want about the lack of wins, but John Eustace has made Rovers a very tough team to beat. 👊
Months ago, they’d have been rolled over by Southampton 🤷♂️
#Rovers

#EFL
Also, imagine spending all summer talking about how Rovers need a striker, when Alan Shearer 2.0 was already here!
Buzzing for Harry Leonard today. Sure, he missed a couple of chances, but his positioning and work rate is excellent! He’s got goals in him 🔥
