It seems that the hood always appears when there is an argument or a crucial moment within the scene. This may symbolise that they are a reminder of who they are, that they can never escape it. There is something holding them back ( Tash and Kev). The hood also seems to have a basketball with him on always. This could symbolise Tash and Kev’s ceilings that have been pulled up, that’s the hood doesn’t want anyone having so they have the power to hold over them. ]]> 2021-02-02 12:43:38 UTC https://padlet.com/brandonleesears/bgjfxy5yyug6uqg1/wish/1153325361 Football BrandonLeeSears https://padlet.com/brandonleesears/bgjfxy5yyug6uqg1/wish/1154008107 Roy William supports Fulham and has a love for football

    Premier Academy League U18

    The Premier League have reorganised the youth academy league set up this season, replacing the 2 separate under-19 & under-17 leagues with just a under-18 youth league
    Through  a rule change means that 3 over-age players can be used in each team. Given that the reserve squad is made up of mainly under-20 year old.
