James Atcheson

Books, film, and TV that tends to go against the grain. Sometime fiction/screenplay writer.

@kilturk44 Another shout out for Brendan Gleeson. He was and always will be the best version of Michael Collins in any film The Treaty. Neil Jordan's MichalenCollins was the Hollywood treatment, a decent effort but flawed. The Treaty is Irish history and Collins done right

@kilturk44 I Went Down. Such an underrated gem. Cracking dialogue and an early one from one of Ireland's greatest actors, Brendan Gleeson

@Outsideleft13 @kilturk44 Great film

@markgoldbridge He needs hooked

@AdamJoseph Every pass is off, they look flat footed, lazy press, they look awful.

[James Atcheson @JamesAtcheson2]

@AdamJoseph Too passive. It all looks too nice. They are players who never get dropped despite consistently poor performances. What other team does that

[James Atcheson @JamesAtcheson2]

@AdamJoseph 2 goals conceded in each of opening 3 games. We always look like we will concede. Shaw too slow getting out to George. Lammens was shaky. All the pressure coming from the left and didn't address that danger. Really frustrating.

[James Atcheson @JamesAtcheson2]

@horrormuseum It has an incredible soundtrack as well

[James Atcheson @JamesAtcheson2]

@ScarredForLife2 Fantastic series. Loved this when it was on.

@LegacySiu Phil Jones

[James Atcheson @JamesAtcheson2]

@AndyMitten @TheAthleticFC I think, despite what he achieved, he's still underrated in some circles. His game had nearly everything. An incredible player.

@AdamJoseph For so many people, especially those looking for likes on social media, transfer season is the priority over the football season itself. Drives people clean bonkers. you fill in the following blank, "Man Utd linked to....yadda yadda yadda..." equals instant online interest.

[James Atcheson @JamesAtcheson2]

@AdamJoseph So many balls were eye of a needle passes that broke down. Really dumb play. Lack of aggression at the back. They always, always look like they will concede. The board have created this, but the players mentality is not good enough either

[James Atcheson @JamesAtcheson2]

@AdamJoseph The lack of basic football intelligence really stands out. Dalot always has a mistake in him, he never seems to learn. Cunha, heavy touch, running into traffic, Martinez switches off, Zirkzee not holding on to the ball at the right time, Ugarte not knowing who to pass it to

[James Atcheson @JamesAtcheson2]

@AdamJoseph Unlucky, but mentality is a question in not killing off these games. Making the subs straight after scoring, they lost momentum.

[James Atcheson @JamesAtcheson2]

@AdamJoseph My fear is that the embarrassment and damage it causes to the Premier League, amy punishment will be watered down to protect its reputation. There will be deep, deep shenanigans afoot in the background of this whole enterprise

[James Atcheson @JamesAtcheson2]

@TheCinesthetic Great film. The ending, I found really got to me. Not ashamed to say I choked up a bit.

[James Atcheson @JamesAtcheson2]

@Jesswhitecomic Years since I read this. Must return to it.

[James Atcheson @JamesAtcheson2]

@UnitedStandMUFC One pundit criticised them. To compare today's media landscape to what they experienced is just been obtuse to suit a narrative. He comes across as a bit of an idiot here. But it's typical of a cohort of utd punditry who refuse to see things as they currently stand

[James Atcheson @JamesAtcheson2]

@adamjoseph I just feel a sad sense of resignation today. Its over for Amorin. I wanted it to work, the same for any manager, but his stubborn nature, his inability to adjust to suit the game, his mismanagement of player positions and who starts, his lack of results, it all adds up
