It will be his 380th appearance in the blue of Chelsea, drawing him level with the late Peter Osgood in terms of all time appearances made for the club. Given Lampard’s consistency and fitness, it isn’t […]

Amid collapsing banks, yo-yoing share prices and widespread insecurity it is natural to look for a culprit. The difficult bit is choosing the villain.

Should their senior executives shoulder all the blame, or […]

Chelsea recovered from their defeat to Liverpool at the weekend by dispatching a below par Hull side this evening 3-0.

This is something that 18 months ago I could never have imagined being emotionally strong enough to tell anyone other than my family and closest friends, let alone write on a blog post. But World Mental Health Day has had me reflecting on the progress that I have made with my own mental health and […]

Chelsea fans knew that this day would come eventually, but probably would have picked a different opponent to lose their 86 match home unbeaten league record to.  In the end, the reality is that Xabi Alonso’s 10th minute deflected shot gave Liverpool all three points and in the process sent them clear the top of […]

Coming soon on Kindle at Amazon:   Cecil the Lion in the British media –  the pride and prejudice of the press       Keith Somerville  

Not everyone is an enthusiast of journalists delivering their content to multiple media platforms.  One of Britain’s most respected print editors and journalists, Sir Max Hastings, likened the multiskilling reporter to a chef taking the order, cooking the meal and waiting on tables, reports former Press Gazette deputy editor Jon Slattery in his new journalism blog. Hastings was delivering […]

Fernando Torres will miss tonight’s Champions League match with Atletico Madrid at Anfield, after the striker’s hamstring injury means Robbie Keane will start instead.

Like many of us during this difficult period, with COVID-19 engulfing every media platform and every thought, the overwhelming claustrophobia after almost two weeks inside is becoming unbearable.

Here are just 137 of my favourite rock songs and (rock) ballads. Apart from the first one, the rest are in no particular order. Please feel free to debate/disagree, discuss and add to the list etc. To be honest, I could have added hundreds more. Are these good choices? Could they be better? Do they inspire […]

The election of Barack Hussein Obama as the 44th President of the United States of America is a truly momentous event. He has broken down racial barriers and proved that race is no hinderance to seeking high office. The most powerful man in the world is an African-American. This would have seemed unthinkable to people […]
