How on earth do Chelsea fit all their players in?

Stewart Freer

I know I write about Chelsea a lot on this blog, but if you read the homepage it does say that Chelsea is one of my favourite things to discuss and write about, so do please indulge me. Chelsea are having a far better start to the season than anyone expected. Pundits and fans were… Continue reading How on earth do Chelsea fit all their players in?

Is Lewis Hamilton the greatest of all time?

Stewart Freer

So, Lewis Hamilton is now a six time Formula One World Champion. Only one man has done that before. That man of course is Michael Schumacher, who claimed seven driver's championships. And even with the new regulations that will come into effect on 2021, Hamilton looks set to claim at least a seventh world title… Continue reading Is Lewis Hamilton the greatest of all time?

Why does anyone think that a general election will break the deadlock?

Stewart Freer

And so, Britain is once again heading to the polls ahead of schedule. For the third time in the last five years, the British public will be asked for their opinion of who should run the country. After the Fixed Term Parliament Act was passed, we were looking at a future where Prime Ministers could… Continue reading Why does anyone think that a general election will break the deadlock?

Is it time for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to change it’s name?

Stewart Freer

So, the nominations for next year's inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame were announced last week and as usual, some of the nominations have really confused me. There are some that would absolutely warrant inclusion in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Judas Priest, Motörhead, MC5, Pat Benatar, The Doobie Brothers,… Continue reading Is it time for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to change it’s name?

England won 6-0… but we are still talking about the abhorrent actions of a minority of utter meatheads.

Stewart Freer

In a perfect world, the events on the pitch would have been the talking points from last night. How England had responded to a really poor performance against the Czech Republic last Friday with a display of free flowing counter attacking football. How they top their qualifying group and are all but set to confirm… Continue reading England won 6-0… but we are still talking about the abhorrent actions of a minority of utter meatheads.

For the first time in many seasons, there is real optimism at Chelsea.

Stewart Freer

What I mean by that is that for the first time, Chelsea fans feel that there is a genuine plan beyond the end of this season. That's been clear from the moment Frank Lampard was appointed as Head Coach. We knew that the transfer ban woud necessitate bringing some of the younger players through to… Continue reading For the first time in many seasons, there is real optimism at Chelsea.

Having Boris Johnson as Prime Minister is a national embarrassment. He needs to be shown the door.

Stewart Freer

So, we now have a Prime Minister who has been found by the highest court in the land to have done something unlawful but doesn't care. He demonstrated that this week as Parliament reconvened after the Supreme Court's ruling on Tuesday. His entire performance at the despatch box was that of a petulant arrogant child… Continue reading Having Boris Johnson as Prime Minister is a national embarrassment. He needs to be shown the door.

Can anyone break into the top six?

Stewart Freer

Normally, the football pieces I write are centred around Chelsea. That's the team I support, that's who I focus on. However, the weekend's results threw up an interesting question. Can any of the mid-table teams break into the top six this season? Despite the money that has come into the Premier League for all sides… Continue reading Can anyone break into the top six?
