Season 1 Episode 1 of 4
Rice Rice Baby
On Tuesday Rod and Alastair v Real Madrid watched Arsenal in the Champions league and saw Declan Rice leave Arsenal fans lost for words with his staggering performance that even the man himself revealed he couldn’t quite believe what he had done after the game.
Rice scored two sensational free-kicks against the Champions League holders before Mikel Merino’s cherry on top sealed a 3-0 win in a stunning night for Arsenal. Few would have predicted the result, and despite some cagey moments at times, the Gunners came through the first leg with a sizeable margin to defend in the second meeting in Madrid next week.
And Finally…
From the 90s yearbook trend to the Ghibli art trend, several TikTok crazes in recent months have made use of articifical intelligence (AI).
And the latest trend, dubbed the ‘action figure trend’, is no different.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, it’s likely you’ve seen this trend taking over social media. Thousands of images have posted on X, Instagram and TikTok, with everyone from the Royal Mail to the NHS getting involved. The trend sees users transform themselves into collectors toys, complete with a nameplate and matching accessories.
We knew it wouldn’t be long before Rod turned up, so here he is complete with Celtic flag, football and gold disc
See you next week..
