I really don't think that Maurizio Sarri has had a bad first season in charge at Chelsea. For someone who had never managed outside Italy before and was given four pre-season games to try and introduce the players to a new system of football, to be in the semi finals of the Europa League and… Continue reading In defence of Maurizio Sarri

My Favourite Guitarists
A while back I wrote a blog about my favourite bands. So it makes sense to then do a similar list about my favourite guitarists. So that's what this is. My personal favourite guitarists. Slash This man plays with fire. And it's telling that some of the magic left Guns N' Roses when he did… Continue reading My Favourite Guitarists
Why I don’t need religion in my life.
I was not raised in a religious family and I live in a country where less and less emphasis is placed on religion. I wasn't even christened as a child. My only real exposure to religion is that I went to a Church of England primary school and Religious Education was a required subject at… Continue reading Why I don’t need religion in my life.
VAR. Just… just VAR.
One of the main talking points for the last couple weeks in football has been Video Assistant Referee (VAR). It of course gave Manchester United the penalty from which they scored to complete their turnaround against Paris Saint Germain, Victor Lindelof having a red card overturned into a yellow, and then of course the lack… Continue reading VAR. Just… just VAR.
Why write a blog?
I posted my 30th blog last week. Why does anyone write a blog? That blog could be about anything. Sport, movies, comic books, music, politics, travel. Anything you want to write about, you can write about. And that is a wonderful thing. Writing a blog can be a very liberating and fulfilling experience. It allows… Continue reading Why write a blog?
Why should film franchises listen to fans?
When Star Wars: The Last Jedi was released, the critics praised it. The fan base though was deeply divided. Some (like me) really liked it and others lambasted it for ruining the franchise, the story, the characters, what JJ Abrams had done with The Force Awakens etc, etc, etc. I went to see it twice in cinemas and… Continue reading Why should film franchises listen to fans?
Is Greta Van Fleet sounding like Led Zeppelin actually a bad thing?
Much has been made of Greta Van Fleet in the rock community. Cynics say they have no originality, they're just ripping off Led Zeppelin. Some even claim they're just a corporate creation to cash in on the classic rock scene, who don't write their songs and have to be shown how to play their instruments.… Continue reading Is Greta Van Fleet sounding like Led Zeppelin actually a bad thing?
Is there any place for a new group in British politics?
So, we have a new group sitting in the the House of Commons, the Independent Group. 8 former Labour MPs and 3 former Conservatives now sit together in the House. They are all in favour of a second EU referendum and all have quit their previous parties because of dissatisfaction with the leaders, policies and seeming… Continue reading Is there any place for a new group in British politics?
Why do I have to stay quiet about wanting to Remain?
So one result means I can't speak my mind? Because one referendum result came out with a marginal majority for leaving the EU, I can't say that I would prefer for Britain to stay in the EU? That's like saying that because Chelsea got completely steamrollered by Manchester City last Sunday, I can't go out… Continue reading Why do I have to stay quiet about wanting to Remain?
