Sunday Mixtape: Protest Mix

***NEW POST*** "If we do not fight against all forms of discrimination then we will carry on losing, carry on being exploited" Sunday Mixtape: Protest Mix

When the Black Lives Matter protests erupted around the killing of George Floyd I metaphorically stood still. At the time, I was still home schooling my daughter on my own while being snowed under with University assignments. This meant that I was unable to engage with what was happening in the way that I wanted to. Since then the world has continued this cycle of lockdown Hokey Cokey and I, like…

The Chelsea Way: Time Skip

The Chelsea Way: Time Skip

Hello?

HELLO???

Is this thing working?

I have a lot to tell you about.

It turns out the dickhead who writes this blog played 4 seasons without writing about any of it.

I’m calling you from 2023, the signal is awful. Give me two seconds and I can bring you through. We can talk normally then.

Right, that’s better. Now where to start. Silverware? That’s a good marker of success…

My Family Cook Book: Chocolate Brownies

***NEW POST*** "A cookbook designed to be filled with your own recipes, with sections for notes, ratings and ramblings" My Family Cook Book: Chocolate Brownies

There was an advert going around last year, for Google Home, Alexa or another of those home devices, that I really enjoyed. Now obviously it didn’t help raise brand awareness, at least with me, but it did click with me on an emotional level. In it, a girl has used said home device to call her dad for help with a meal she’s cooking, obvious that she’s trying to impress someone, her Dad surprises…

A Legend in his Own Mind - The Push for Europe

"In my last two posts I laid down some goals for me to achieve, I promised that you would only see another Cambridge post if I managed to achieve these goals" A Legend in his Own Mind: The Push for Europe #WeAreTheCommunity

Now I’m not one for making goals, my goal tends to be to win and not much else matters but in this case, because I have certain things that I’d like to accomplish, I’m going to make a few. When I achieve one of these goals I will put a blog up on Keysi’s site, updating everyone on the progress so far. These goals are as follows:

Have a homegrown player make Cambridge and their national sides…

A Legend in his Own Mind: 10 Years Time

"It is with regret that we announce that Manager Michael Brazier handed in his resignation today and leaves the club with immediate effect." A Legend in his Own Mind: 10 Years Time #WeAreTheCommunity

STATEMENT FROM THE CAMBRIDGE UNITED BOARD

It is with regret that we announce that Manager Michael Brazier handed in his resignation today and leaves the club with immediate effect. Brazier has taken on a role with the English National Team and didn’t feel that it was fair to split his time between his new national commitments and his existing club ones. Brazier has had 2 stints with Cambridge…

A Legend in his Own Mind: The End, or Is It?

"And now, the end is near And so I face the final curtain" A Legend in his Own Mind: The End, or Is It? #WeAreTheCommunity

And now, the end is near And so I face the final curtain My friend, I’ll say it clear I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain

I’ve lived a life that’s full I’ve travelled each and every highway But more, much more than this I did it my way

Regrets, I’ve had a few But then again, too few to mention I did what I had to do And saw it through without exemption

I planned each charted course Each…

Nuneaton Borough: Lost

"How do you follow the drama of last year? Simple answer, not like this." Nuneaton Borough: Lost #WeAreTheCommunity

How do you follow the drama of last year? Simple answer, not like this.

This update will be short and swift and here is why.

I understand it’s a big ask for people to invest time into reading a post about a football club they have no real connection to, especially when it offers no real tactical approach or training regimes that could benefit them. In here, I will try to do our 2023/24 season,…

Wellness Sunday: Self-care Sunday

Wellness Sunday: Self-care Sunday

Don’t know about you, but Sundays are a bit of a weird day for me. I wake up in the morning feeling relatively happy because it’s the weekend still and there is so much I could achieve on this lovely day.

Then I clock watch. The impending doom of Monday morning is getting closer and closer and it puts me, quite frankly, on a bit of a Debbie Downer and my motivation gets lower and lower, the more…

Wellness Wednesday: DIY Face Covering Tutorial

Wellness Wednesday: DIY Face Covering Tutorial

Happy Monday everybody and welcome to another episode of my blog. Today I am going to be going through how to make a simple face covering for when you are out and about.

You can use any fabric that you like and you can either sew by hand or use a sewing machine. I chose to use a sewing machine.

You will need:

2 pieces of cotton fabric per mask

Needle and thread or sewing machine

Fabric scissors

A Legend in His Own Mind: 23 Man ‘World Cup Squad’ (Part 2 of 2)

"Since dropping back to be our fulcrum he’s averaged a 90% pass completion rate over 3 seasons, including 2 seasons in the Premier League." A Legend in His Own Mind: 23 Man ‘World Cup Squad’ (Part 2 of 2) #WeAreTheCommunity

So I’m a week late on this due to illness, however that works for me as the ending to this series will overlap with the start of my FM19 content and for a few weeks, this will be alternate to that stuff. I have two more pieces planned which should come on October 29th and November the 12th while my first piece of FM19 content should come out next Monday the 22nd of October.

My illness also…

Wellness Friday: Feel Good Friday

Wellness Friday: Feel Good Friday

Good evening, hope you are having a good Friday.

Today is my day off, I’ve had a bit of a rubbish week and this morning I struggled to get off the sofa, to eat or to even get dressed. Because I’ve just felt pants. To be honest.

However, I decided that I would do another blog, called feel-good Friday, about the things I do to motivate myself and put myself in a good frame of mind in the hope…

Nuneaton Borough: “All we Need is a Little Energon and a Lot of Luck”

"After finally achieving promotion, it felt very much like we were starting right back at the beginning of our journey." Nuneaton Borough: “All we Need is a Little Energon and a Lot of Luck” #WeAreTheCommunity

After finally achieving promotion, it felt very much like we were starting right back at the beginning of our journey. We were, as expected, massive favourites to make an instant return to the Conference North at the first time of asking.

With no money, still no youth team and a bunch of pay as you play players we would embark on probably one of the most memorable and painful journeys I have…

A Legend in His Own Mind: 23 Man ‘World Cup Squad’ (Part 1 of 2)

"I think it’s time to give some love to a centre back that I called out in my last article, Ethan Ampadu." A Legend in His Own Mind: 23 Man ‘World Cup Squad’ (Part 1 of 2) #WeAreTheCommunity

So last week a tweet was RT’d onto my timeline about fans picking a 23 man ‘World Cup’ style squad from all the players who have played for their club while they’ve been a fan. This idea really caught my imagination but I wanted to do more than just a quick list on Twitter, anyone who read my Three Musketeers post knows that I love a reminisce about a former player, I still regularly check the…
