Mud Pack Challenge

This weekend I’ll be taking part in the Mud Pack Challenge for the Hospice of St Francis. For those who don’t know what the Hospice of St Francis do, they look after people towards the end of their lives, creating homely environments, proving incredible care and much needed support for their families. None of what…

The week that didn’t

Some weeks go to plan. This was the week that didn’t. I have been struck down in the prime of life (or the pribe ob libe for any Friends fans reading this). Last week ended well, I had the Friday feeling but suddenly caught something more than the Friday feeling… a chest infection. Feeling horrific…

RideLondon

First I'd like to say a huge thank you to all who've supported me on my cycles for the British Heart Foundation! So far, we've raised £335 with the London to Brighton and the 50 mile off-roader. However, we've hit a little hurdle and I've had to defer my RideLondon place until next year. Having…

Upfront about the transfer window

The transfer window, as always, has divided opinions and given us around 4 heart attacks per day. But we wouldn’t have it any other way! With what originally seemed like a long list of potential signings, other clubs have, of course, crept in and taken away some of the options. However, I’m still remaining positive.…

HarryPotter20

Harry Potter turns 20 years old, which makes me feel very old. I’ve grown up reading and watching Harry Potter, genuinely believing at one point I was had been selected to attend Hogwarts. How exactly did this happen? Let me explain. My Auntie used to work for Warner Brothers and told me of this book…

What a week it’s been! Its safe to say the past 7 days have had more ups and downs than the London to Brighton bike ride! If you’ve been following me on social media, you may be aware that I’m taking part in three cycles for the British Heart Foundation (You can sponsor me HERE).…

Healthy Mindset

There’s been a lot of talk about mental health recently, and something I think is enormously important is to have people to speak to about how you feel, whether you’re having a great or a terrible day. We live in an age where most things are instant. If we want something, we can get it…

The Premier League Hokey Cokey

This season, more than ever, there has been an outcry for the sacking of managers. From Bilic to Wenger, fans aren’t happy and are making it increasingly clear across social media. Always interested in hearing what everyone has to say, I conducted some very official research in the form of two Twitter polls, taken a…

Mexico’s influence on European football

Javier Hernandez, more commonly known as “Chicharito”, secured his status as one of Mexico’s greats having scored against Costa Rica in the World Cup qualifiers on Friday. But while the 28-year-old levelled Jared Borgetti’s record of 46 goals for his country, it was not only fans’ love for Hernandez which shone out, but Mexico’s passion…

Premier League Preview

As the week draws to an end, all eyes are on this weekend’s Premier League fixtures. Amongst the excitement of a Merseyside derby, the stakes are high for managers, teams and players. Both Slaven Bilic and Arsene Wenger look to secure their future at their respective clubs this weekend. With the pair facing criticism, the…
