I'll See You In My Dreams

 Today is the first day of the 2024/25 English football season. It will be the first season that begins without my Dad, who died four months ago on 9 th April at the age of 76. My Dad and I have shared football together for as long as I can remember. I fell in love with football largely because of Eric Cantona, who I remember thinking was the coolest man alive. I dimly remember him returning to action after being suspended for his infamous kung fu kick on a Crystal Palace fan, scoring an equaliser against Liverpool and swinging around the stanchion behind the goal at Old Trafford. All of this subsequently led to me wanting to follow Manchester United. I am surprised in retrospect that this man from Houghton-le-Spring who spent most Saturdays in his youth at Roker Park to watch Sunderland AFC didn’t object more vehemently to this. Perhaps he saw it as a decent excuse to watch higher quality players than he was used to. Dad always wanted to watch good teams playing good football. ...

Various Lockdown Miscellany

I hope everyone's doing ok. I'm muddling through at the moment, sleeping atrociously, eating poorly. I'm trying to stay informed, but feel that social media is having a somewhat detrimental effect on my mental wellbeing right now. I can't help but find it thoroughly dispiriting that at the time of an unprecedented global crisis, we find ourselves in the hands of the most mediocre and ill-equipped politicians in recent memory. Particularly when you consider that recent memory includes Theresa May. It's probably time to transition to one of those less lofty topics with which I am more comfortable. My father admitted the other day that he was missing football immensely and that a world without it was unthinkable. Which was somewhat odd, given that he had also watched season two of Sunderland Til I Die in its entirety. He's coping by watching the various nostalgia festivals being broadcast on Sky Sports at the moment, whilst I have retreated to FIFA 20, where Sund...

June In Film

  The Little Mermaid I have not seen the original Little Mermaid for something like 25 years. This probably aided my general enjoyment of yet another Disney remake, as I imagine that more diehard fans of the original would find more to fault here than I did. Having said that, some of the alterations worked for me such as the decision to give Prince Eric more backstory and a new song. Halle Bailey is perfectly cast as Ariel (regardless of what the internet’s worst arseholes will have you believe) and the quality of her singing is a match for the original. The highlight of the entire film is probably the moment when the crescendo of “Part Of Your World” hits, the waves crash against the shore and you’re fleetingly reminded of when Disney could still stir the soul. There’s an enjoyable performance too from Melissa McCartney as Ursula who brings a certain amount of fun to one of the House of Mouse’s greatest pantomime villains. Unfortunately, what these films lose in the transiti...
