Just watched The Sound of Music for the first time. Had no idea it would be so visually rich. They didn’t need to go this hard for a romantic musical with silly songs. Why don’t we make movies like this anymore??

I may be a football writer first and foremost, but golf is my second love, so I'm very happy to have made my debut for The Golfing Gazette today, discussing one of the best #TGL rules⛳️

Ange Postecoglou: “I love a fight, I love a scrape, I love being in the middle of a storm when everyone doubts because I know what is on the other side if you get through it. My job is to get through it.”

They could never make me hate you, gaffer 🤍

That #28YearsLater trailer got me so hyped that I decided to make a list of my most anticipated movies of 2025.

What am I missing?

Went on a scouting mission to find a player from every Premier League club who’d be suitable for #SheffieldWednesday to loan in January.

Emerging talent, youngsters needing minutes, older players looking for a fresh start… lots of options for #SWFC

I’m all over #Sunderland this week ahead of the crunch clash with #SheffieldUnited on Friday night.

Here, I mull over Regis Le Bris’ selection decisions, and suggest a drastic change may be needed ⚔️🐈‍⬛

I’ve been doing some work for Screen Rant lately, and will always grab an opportunity to write about Westerns when I can. Check it out 🤠
