It can be hard treading new ground when writing football content. There are so many people who know so much about the beautiful game, that it can be difficult coming up with an original opinion, or a different angle to view a certain subject. So, with that goal in mind, I’ve decided to come upContinue reading “Football Top 10’s- Premier League Debut Managerial Seasons”

World Cup Team of the Tournament and Awards
At time of writing, there is one game left at the 2022 World Cup. The final between France and Argentina is a fitting finale for what has been a fantastic tournament, filled with upsets, drama and plenty of magic moments. This should not serve as some kind of vindication for staging it in Qatar, withContinue reading “World Cup Team of the Tournament and Awards”
My England World Cup Squad 2022
With just one matchweek of the Premier League to go before the first ever mid-season World Cup, the minds of players and fans alike are starting to re-focus on Qatar. Gareth Southgate is due to pick his 26-man squad for the tournament this Thursday and the debates of who should and will be included haveContinue reading “My England World Cup Squad 2022”
Anatomy of a Scene- “The Grand Budapest Hotel”- “The Police Are Here” Scene
I want to talk about one of my all-time favourite films: The Grand Budapest Hotel. For me, it’s a joyous, stylish, endlessly funny and rewatchable classic and in my opinion, the very best of Wes Anderson’s impressive collection. The challenge in writing about it was therefore not in coming up with things to say butContinue reading “Anatomy of a Scene- “The Grand Budapest Hotel”- “The Police Are Here” Scene”
Lessons from the Edinburgh Fringe
You may have heard (if you follow me on any social media platform you definitely have…) that I took a show that I co-wrote, co-produced and then performed to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2022. It’s now been a few days since the last performance and I’ve had time to reflect on the experience as aContinue reading “Lessons from the Edinburgh Fringe”
The Path Between the Cypress Trees- Excerpt 3
Chapter Sixteen Chiara said she wanted to get out of Arezzo that weekend and so we decided to take the train down to Castiglion del Lago, one of the biggest towns on the edges of Lake Trasimeno. The train journey wasn’t long, but the station was situated at the bottom of the hill with theContinue reading “The Path Between the Cypress Trees- Excerpt 3”
The Path Between the Cypress Trees- Excerpt 2
Chapter Seven I got on the train to Arezzo the next day. It was a relatively easy journey, my Florence apartment hadn’t been far from the station and I arrived in plenty of time to buy my ticket, work out the right platform and grab a coffee before I boarded. The train itself was beautifullyContinue reading “The Path Between the Cypress Trees- Excerpt 2”
The Path Between the Cypress Trees- Excerpt 1
Chapter 1 For me, it was always going to be Tuscany. I had only been once before, when I was a child. My parents had taken me when I was around ten or eleven I think, and we had stayed in a villa on the outskirts of the city of Arezzo, tucked in the easternmostContinue reading “The Path Between the Cypress Trees- Excerpt 1”
Anatomy of a Scene- “Moneyball” Ending
This is a kind of blog I’ve been thinking about doing for a while. As mentioned previously, film is one of my passions and I’ve already written the occasional post about some of my favourites. The problem with doing that more regularly is that films are so vast, to be able to get out everyContinue reading “Anatomy of a Scene- “Moneyball” Ending”
Premier League 2021-22 Review (and reacting to my predictions)
It’s easy to feel this way after the climax of every Premier League season, but this last campaign really has been one for the ages. The last week, and especially the final day, of nail-biting, thrilling football was surely one of the best finishes ever. The title, the top four, the Europa League and relegationContinue reading “Premier League 2021-22 Review (and reacting to my predictions)”
