Well, after Theresa May's EU Withdrawal Agreement summarily was dumped on the trash heap by MPs by a nice round 230 votes,the heaviest defeat of any Parliamentary leader in the democratic era, she has had about two weeks to get 'Plan B' together and in such shape that it might just squeeze through the vote… Continue reading Was there ever a ‘Plan B’ for Brexit?

What will Chelsea do in the January transfer window?
Well, here we go again, the January transfer window is upon us. The last minute deals, the constant speculation, Harry Redknapp driving away from his club's ground at a ridiculous hour in the morning, and as usual Chelsea are being linked with a name for almost position you can have on a football pitch. However,… Continue reading What will Chelsea do in the January transfer window?
Happy New Year! Here’s how 2019 can be better.
Well, 2018 has now been and gone. Some would say good riddance. And isn't it weird that whenever a year draws to a close the phrase you hear most is something along the lines of "Here's to an even better 2019"? It's difficult to say what would make 2019 better than 2018, but by looking… Continue reading Happy New Year! Here’s how 2019 can be better.
“Give the kids a chance Maurizio!” But should he?
One thing that Chelsea and all the usual top 6 clubs get criticised for is not affording younger players from their respective academies opportunities in the first team. It's all very well rotating the side of the early rounds of the League Cup, where if you get knocked out, no one is really that disappointed.… Continue reading “Give the kids a chance Maurizio!” But should he?
The need for political compromise
The art of compromise has seemingly been lost in politics. It is much more the political fashion to blame others for your country's troubles. Which is really, really worrying. America is a prime example of that, with the rhetoric of the President, and the party his insidious nature has ensnared, a constant stream of fear-mongering… Continue reading The need for political compromise
Can Chelsea really challenge for the Premier League title?
10 games into this Premier League season and Maurizio Sarri is still unbeaten as Chelsea manager. No one else has done that. Not Ancelotti, not Conte, certainly not Scolari, certainly not Villas-Boas, not even Mourinho managed that as Chelsea manager in either of his spells in charge. And this early season run of form has… Continue reading Can Chelsea really challenge for the Premier League title?
Sometimes we have to laugh. Otherwise, we might cry.
Looking at the state the human race finds itself in, you could react two ways. You could lampoon current events a la Saturday Night Live did recently of the Senate hearing into sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Another is to satirise the coverage of said events. One of my favourite political… Continue reading Sometimes we have to laugh. Otherwise, we might cry.
What has Maurizio Sarri changed at Chelsea?
Despite only drawing against West Ham at the weekend, it's fair to say that Maurizio Sarri's arrival at Chelsea has sparked quite a few changes at the club and there is plenty for fans to be excited about. So what are those changes and what do they mean for the rest of the season? The… Continue reading What has Maurizio Sarri changed at Chelsea?
My favourite bands
My musical taste has largely been shaped by my Mum and Dad and so a lot of the music I listen to is from the 60's, 70's and 80's. It's not that I don't listen to chart music, I just don't find a lot of it very interesting to listen to. There's not a lot… Continue reading My favourite bands
Is social media our new moral compass?
Ever since James Gunn was fired from his role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (he directed both Guardians of the Galaxy films and had a influential role overall) I've been wondering about the idea that social media is the place where your character is judged and you can never change your opinions on anything that… Continue reading Is social media our new moral compass?
