The Ramblings of a Mad Russell

Now that we have concluded the season and I have established my full thoughts, I have decided now is the perfect time for me to do my season review. From the highs and lows, to the players awards and much more, lets get started. After the departure of Antonio Conte and several interim managers, we appointed Ange Postecoglou as manager. The Australian man who is favourably known as 'Big Ange', has decades of experience coaching football at a top level but the main concern was that he had never coached in any of the top five European leagues, the counter to that is that it is hard for a non-European to get given the oppurtunity and to be fair he has won everywhere he has been. Ange's biggest task was to change the style of football from a very regressive and structured team to a team that plays high intensity fluid football. A mountainous challenge for someone with a lack of European pedigree. Fair to say he succeeded in this challenge. We signed a few players that summer and...

The future looms dark for the Conservative party as it looks deadset for its biggest defeat since it came up against Tony Blair's political juggernaut 'New Labour'. In this entry, I discuss how and why this has happened and where will the Conservatives turn to in their dark days.

I see no issue in this and to be frank I still support Brexit but this is where the fall starts. Cameron thought he and the remain campaign could win, but ultimately the British voted in favour o...

  WELCOME I should first thank you for taking time out of your day to read what will hopefully become a weekly occurence of this blog in whatever format it turns out to be. This will be a short entry as there is not much to say other than welcome. My hopes for the future are to have a system to which I can write about several topics in individual sectors but for now I shall just use abbreviations relevant to the topics so that if you aren't interested in the topic than you don't have to read. I hope to write my views on the world of sport but mostly Tottenham Hotspur, Formula One and other topics. Down below will be extentions for each topic. So before you get started, here's a little about me. My name is James Russell, I was born 10th January 2003 which means right as I write this I am 21 years old. I have a great passion for football, politics, history and several other topics. I want to be a screenwriter and/or football coach. I hear you asking why? What do I gain from w...
