There was a carnival atmosphere at the Abbey Stadium as Cambridge United finished a largely forgettable season on a high note with an emphatic 5-0 win over Port Vale. A handsome victory on a gloriously sunny afternoon rounded off a week in which Joe Dunne was deservedly handed a three-year contract as Head Coach at United. The Irishman had seen his men fall to a disappointing defeat against Newport County ahead of the club’s announcement that he would take the managerial hot seat on a permanent basis. The disappointment of defeat at Newport, with the Exiles completing a third win over the U’s during the season, was clearly a wake-up call, contrasting starkly with the joy of victory on Saturday. The U’s were rampant against an admittedly very poor Port Vale side and both the size of the win and the nature of it summed up well the dramatic transformation achieved by Dunne since February. The five goals from five different scorers mean the U’s have been on target … [Read more...] about Mike Barnes fan column: Dunne’s enterprising football is a breath of fresh air

Distinctive Spanish pours are a breath of fresh air
Visit The Boston Globe Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Comment on this Scroll to top of page By Ellen Bhang Globe Correspondent April 23, 2018 When you taste wines that sing with distinctiveness, you can bet that the people behind them have a story to tell. That’s certainly the case with four bottles from Spain, recently brought to market as part of a new project. Importer Eric Solomon, founder of European Cellars, has long been known for a portfolio drawing from France and Spain. With a company tagline of “place over process,” Solomon and his team have sought to showcase terroirs off the beaten path. Earlier this year, a new project within the company, called Indigo Wine, made its Boston debut. The endeavor serves as an incubator for producers new to the fold, and it includes pours that feel like a breath of fresh air. Two bottles are crafted by Pablo Calatayud at Celler del Roure in the village of Moixent, an hour’s drive south of … [Read more...] about Distinctive Spanish pours are a breath of fresh air
Kier is breath of fresh air
Many Montanans think that Greg Gianforte has to go. We want to be represented by a person with Montana values who can't be bought by special interest groups. We value our way of life and feel a deep connection to the state we call home. I support Grant Kier for Congress because I believe he is the best choice for Montana and that he is the Democratic candidate mostly likely to win in the November election. His intelligence, integrity, and genuine concern for Montana and its residents is evident to many who meet him as he travels the state.Grant Kier is a refreshing breath of fresh air. He will listen to all Montanans regardless of their political affiliation or social-economic status. He is a bridge-builder and will work hard to find solutions to the problems Montanans face. It is easy to criticize and tear down, but it takes hard work and skill to build and develop policies and plans that will benefit most of us.We know our nation currently is sharply divided. I believe finding a … [Read more...] about Kier is breath of fresh air
‘Lambert was a breath of fresh air when his Norwich City team played bravely’
PUBLISHED: 13:49 19 April 2018 | UPDATED: 13:50 19 April 2018 Paul Lambert guided Norwich City to two promotions and Premier League safety. Picture: Paul Chesterton/Focus Images Ltd. ©Focus Images Limited www.focus-images.co.uk +447814 482222 Paul Lambert needs to summon up the spirit of his magical spell at Norwich City to pull off a great escape at Stoke City. Lambert’s latest club face an uphill battle for Premier League survival, after blowing a 1-0 lead at West Ham on Monday night to draw 1-1 in a result that kept them five points from safety with only four league games left. The Scot won his first match in charge of the Potters when he replaced Mark Hughes but has failed to win any of the next 10 and Times columnist Tony Cascarino is now urging Lambert to revive the fighting spirit of his time at Carrow Road. The ex-Celtic and Borussia Dortmund mifielder guided the Canaries to consecutive promotions from the Football League and comfortably kept them up in his first … [Read more...] about ‘Lambert was a breath of fresh air when his Norwich City team played bravely’
Martha Kearney’s arrival at Today is a breath of fresh air
Kate Chisholm 14 April 2018 9:00 AM 14 April 2018 9:00 AM Share Twitter Facebook LinkedIn Email Whatsapp Like a breath of fresh air Martha Kearney has arrived on Radio 4’s Today programme, taking over from Sarah Montague (who will now host the lunchtime news programme formerly presided over by Kearney). Her presenting style is just so different, less confrontational, more investigative, perhaps developed by her because at lunchtime the mood is different, less rushed, more ambulant. The tone on the World At One was always much more reflective than reactive, Kearney pondering events rather than racing through to the next interview, butting in, hustling, flustering her guests. On Monday morning’s Today, she interviewed the author of a book on ‘elastic thinking’. Leonard Mlodinow, a theoretical physicist who has also written scripts for Star Trek, argues that we need to think more flexibly if we want to cope with the avalanche of … [Read more...] about Martha Kearney’s arrival at Today is a breath of fresh air
