  • Match preview: Crewe Alexandra v Latics

    Latics fans have been rummaging through the history books and stats sites to find the last time their side won five games in a row. There are disputes because of cup competitions (do they count?) and winning streaks that run across seasons (they absolutely do not count and there aren’t that many anyway). These complications defy so-called artificial intelligence, which is a new and 100% inaccurate name for data scraping with a decent user interface.

  • Alex B Cann film column - 26/03/26

    The Good Boy is a Polish/Yorkshire collaboration, known as Heel in America. The overriding word in my head is 'weird', and it's also bleakly dark.

  • Alex B Cann column - Eat well, live well, watch your chips 26/03/26

    A study published in the European Journal of Preventative Cardiology has found that sleeping for 11 minutes more each night, doing 4.5 extra minutes of brisk walking, and eating an additional quarter of a cup of vegetables every day can significantly lower your risk of a heart attack. Boffins have concluded that these small changes could help you to avoid major cardiovascular events, including heart attacks and strokes, by around 10 per cent.

  • Alex B Cann Film Column - 19/03/20260

    My two picks for Best Picture at the Cann Film Festival would have been I Swear and The Ballad Of Wallis Island, but since my festival is somewhat overshadowed by the Oscars, the Academy's votes went to One Thing After Another. I like Leonardo DiCaprio's passion for the cinema experience, and share his hope that it won't become a niche pastime, like collecting vinyl, or using the correct version of 'your'.

  • Alex B Cann Column - 19/03/2026

    We live in sobering times. Just switch on the news, and it's a bleak picture. I'd have thought world events might make more people reach for the hard stuff, but it seems sobriety is extending to the 'basket of goods' used to work out inflation. For the first time, alcohol-free beer has been added to a list used by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), joining around 760 items that are closely monitored for price fluctuations.
