Pre-season is never the time to be trying to judge a football team. Teams have had troubled pre-seasons and gone on to achieve great success by the end of the campaign. And that is something that I think Chelsea fans need to keep in mind right now. This is a strange time for the club.… Continue reading Don’t be too quick to judge Chelsea.

Tuesday was really hot.
But here’s the thing. It shouldn’t have been this hot. 40 degrees centigrade is your average temperature in Istanbul or Cairo, not in Stoke-on-Trent. And this is just indicative of the damage that has been done to the environment for hundreds of years, and to which only now are we waking up. It’s not just… Continue reading Tuesday was really hot.
Why I think Chelsea shouldn’t sign either Cristiano Ronaldo or Neymar Jr.
As attractive as the idea may be. I think it is one the new owners at Chelsea should avoid. Yes, it would be a massive statement to sign either player, would attract headlines and open up all sorts of commercial opportunities, but I just don’t think it would work.

The BTCC live is just brilliant.
Live motorsport hits differently to watching on TV. The BTCC was at Croft last weekend and I was there to see the live action. And it was a brilliant day. Three touring car races and a really good support program. I wrote a piece not longer after I started this blog about how I considered… Continue reading The BTCC live is just brilliant.

Jose Mourinho is one of the greatest managers in the history of football.
The modern football world may have moved past Jose Mourinho, but we simply wouldn’t be where we are today without him. Mourinho continued his unbeaten streak in European finals on Wednesday, claiming the inaugural Europa Conference League with Roma. It may not be the most prestigious trophy that Mourinho has competed for in his managerial… Continue reading Jose Mourinho is one of the greatest managers in the history of football.
A struggle to write.
I’ve been really struggling to come up with something to write about for this piece. Because, let’s face it, the world isn’t exactly in a good state right now. And in this tiny little corner of the world, where I throw my thoughts out into the ether that is the internet, that is kind of… Continue reading A struggle to write.
What happens next for Chelsea?
Chelsea will have another chance at silverware this year, after reaching their third successive F.A Cup final in a row. It’s a strange time for everyone involved with the club right now; players, staff and fans.

Mercedes are far off the pace so far. Is their F1 domination officially over?
Suffice to say, it has not been the best start to the new era of Formula One for the Mercedes team that has dominated the sport since 2014. The opening three races have seen the usual suspects sharing out the podium positions among themselves. But while Ferrari and Red Bull have both taken wins with… Continue reading Mercedes are far off the pace so far. Is their F1 domination officially over?
Some thoughts on Chelsea’s situation.
This is certainly a difficult time for Chelsea Football Club. The owner sanctioned, the club restricted in how it can operate, desperately looking for a new owner.
