J’ai toujours eu un intérêt particulier pour l’écriture, je considérais alors plutôt intégrer une filière de journalisme sportif.
J’ai commencé à publier des articles de blog sur le Football Anglais vers 2011 alors que j’étais étudiant à la Fac.
Le ton, la précision et l’orientation a certainement évolué du style journalistique vers l’analyse à proprement parler.
🌕Tottenham-Charlton – U17 PL Cup
Dancing in the Moonlight, it’s a supernatural delight 🏆💥 TOTTENHAM 5-2 CHARLTON London Academy derbies are always feisty, let alone for a final – U17 Premier League Cup. If you carry too much you will be taken out. That’s natural selection. Adapt or drive. ⚪️Luca Williams Barnett stole the show. Dancing in the moonlight 🌕…
Fulham – Chelsea U21s
PL2 – October 4, 2024 Great set up and venue at Motspur Park, Chelsea with a large scoreline after breaking through the Fulham deadlock (-0- at half time) and so many shots blocked. Shim Mheuka scored his first PL2 goal: Chelsea(3-4-2-1): Max Merrick; Brodi Hughes (Harrison Murray-Campbell 82), Kaiden Wilson, Ishe Sameuls-Smith; Ricard Olise, Alex…
🦅🦁Crystal Palace 3-0 Aston Villa
Hindolo Mustapha, Triston Rowe and Jamaldeen Jimoh 🇧🇷Matheus França playing 60′. Looked sharp with 3 nutmegs. Mustapha was better than vs Leipzig in that ball magnet role: second balls, flicks and carries from left wing. Ola Adebomi – tall 9 peak later but I still feel he’s a yard late at most things (seen 10+…
🔴🔵🛩Woking – Eastleigh
National League April 26 – Utter Wok Nonsense National League dead rubber between two teams with nothing to play for. 🍩Donuts for half time snack? Woke. 🍩🍴Eating donuts with a fork to not have greasy hands? Woke. 🔵🛩Eastleigh going upfront forcing 🔴Woking to push for an equaliser, 🔴Woking with some rare but quality combinations out…
🔵🐏Chelsea 2-1 Derby County
Premier League 2 – January 31, 2025 Not the most thrilling game of the season, but a decent store brand frozen pizza. Could be worse but does the job. Chelsea scoring with McNeilly smashing a gift from another play out of the back fuckup. Ato Ampah dribbling the entire team for the 2-0. More players…
Chelsea – Wolverhampton
Premier League Two – April 26, 2025 🦁🐺CHELSEA 4-0 WOLVES Chelsea DS getting past the hurdle, against a Wolves side who didn’t create much bar a spell of pressure where they couldn’t connect with crosses. Funnelling attacks towards the KRISPROLL Cafú 🇸🇪🥖Antwi is picked up by opponents and the lack of trust in Dyer to…
🇸🇱🧤Jalloh Nø Gøal
How to Analyse GKs: Mamadou Wurie Jalloh – AFCON U20 Sierra Leone have reached the quarter finals of the U20 AFCON for their first participation in the tournament. I’ve put the initial game vs Zambia in the background to catch something, then proceeded to watch their subsequent games. Speaking of, one player who did catch…
QPR – Peterborough United
Professional Development League – May 06, 2025 I liked Emmerson Sutton as LCM in midfield three, seems the kind of profile you’d see wide but able to create separation and demanding the ball to get on it, quite the presence. Range of movement, change of direction without losing momentum and some powerful carries is what…
St Albans City- v Hemel Hampstead
National League South – Matchday 45 – April 21 St Albans City come back level with Salisbury with 45pts and 1 game to go with a hard fought 1-0 win. The stadium is right by the train station Lots of diagonals fired without people really going after it, the game is live from second balls.…
🇺🇿Uzbekenbauer: Abdukodir Khusanov
How to scout a centre back | EP2 There’s talent everywhere. Football’s biggest challenge isn’t to solve goalkicks, but to break barriers to allow access to opportunities often gatekept. For sure, some non tangible scouting criteria are often overlooked when it comes to scaling up player quality, or adaptation to a new country. But then…
🔴🐈⬛ Arsenal 1-2 Sunderland
Premier League 2 – December 16, 2024 Revigorating escapade (not) in this Tory stronghold 🗳 where The Arsenal hasn’t exactly been making movies tonight 📽🎞🫣 An interesting choreography of playmaking GK in the back 4, inverted fullbacks and set piece coach gimmick on every corner Sunderland with a resilient 541. Arsenal with an 🇧🇲🩳🔻🔺 Bermuda…
🐝🐲Watford – Cardiff U21s
Professional Development League – April 25, 2025 Sorry seems to be the fittest word for what I’ve been watching 🤧 🐝Jonathan Lawson the main spark for Watford, to get into final third, cut inside and shoot. Nickson Okosun with good movement across the front line, good box movement and tried to get chances on the…
Chelsea 2-0 Real Sociedad
Premier League International Cup – 26th November 2024 PL International Cup generates interesting match ups, albeit sometimes lacking in intensity (that you find in end to end PL2 games). Chelsea U21 playing their bland of generic whatever, with two out and out strikers. More passes, less carries than last season I don’t see players taking…
Tottenham 1-3 Ajax
Premier League International Cup – December 18th 2024 Spurs largely second best against a decent Ajax team in second gear, 0-3 after 23′. Tyrese Hall tried to make things happen, Tynan Thomson (he’s 16) scales up to U21 footy (there’s flashes). Spurs largely second best against a decent Ajax team in second gear, 0-3 after…
Chelsea 4-1 Aston Villa
Pleasant evening at Stamford Bridge Very one sided game, Chelsea could’ve scored a few more goals. 🇸🇪🥖Krisproll Cafú Genesis Antwi was electric from right back and got the Villa left back yanked at half time. 🕺❌”I can’t dance”. Well let’s see about that. 🌋…And Then There Were Three… were probably thinking the Villa defenders. That’s…
🦫Hampton & Richmond v 🦄Welling
Vanarama South – 12th April 2025 🦫HAMPTON & RICHMOND v 🐎WELLING Pleasant afternoon at Hampton & Richmond FC getting 5 past their opponent to which we wish to get Well(ing) Soon.

Fulham 1-1 Manchester City
Top of the league clash in Premier League 2 – April 7th Top of the league clash between 2nd and 1st in PL2. Fulham thought they were taking the 3pts but City equalised in injury time. For Fulham, Martial Godo is relentless to get the ball into final third. Terrell Works glides when coming inside…
🫘Full of Beans: Ibrahim Fullah
Does more things than running around, mind. So does Moussa. This season, I liked Charlton U21s who are somewhere at the top end of the Professional Development League ; the Category 2 Academies’ U21 league. Last season I liked Millwall U21s so I followed their games from a closer angle. Some sides play a Shirt…
🇺🇬✨James Bogere : Goalbound Crane
Mulina ebyokuzanya byo kulaba? And how to platform wide strikers I decided to watch Uganda vs Zambia to enhance my perspective and knowledge of East African football. I’m kinda familiar with West African French speaking players (Guinea, Senegal, Cote d’Ivoire, Algeria, Morrocco, Mali…) having signed or coached players from grassroots who are either professionals or…
