We’d reached the lofty heights of third in the Premier League at the halfway point of the 27/28 season. We’d just drawn 3-3 away to Man Utd at Old Trafford in a pulsating game. Now it was time for the 3rd round of the FA Cup – at home to Chelsea. Chelsea had hit a […]
It was time to ready Leeds for the 27/28 season. I was resigned to losing Santos, who had been such a star for my side in my time with the club so far. Liverpool had come in with a £66 million offer, which was hard to resist. In anticipation of losing Santos, I poached Rhian […]
We’re almost at the middle of March. What’s been happening ‘kats? We’ve had a spell of unseasonably warm weather, especially at the end of February. On the 26th of Feb I ventured to town to collect some stuff, and I walked home without my coat on, for I was sweltering. Granted, the weather dipped somewhat […]
In the wake of ‘that’ high-profile interview with Oprah, I thought I’d do what so many have already done and add my two cents to the discussion of Harry and Meghan. I’m quite comfortable in saying I’m more inclined to support Meghan and Harry than the Royal Family at large. I have a number of […]
Three clubs were talking to me. All were Premier League clubs and reasonably well established ones, though they’d all had their peaks and troughs throughout the course of the Premier League’s existence. Leeds and Newcastle and Southampton all had their histories, but which club would be the one I’d sign on with? The answer proved […]
Having secured Premier League status for Crystal Palace quite comfortably, the aim was now to see if we could improve upon 13th in the standings. In football the desire is always to go up – obviously – and once at the very top, stay there as long as possible. For a club like Palace, I […]
The first half of the 25/26 season was over. Palace were 13th, nine points clear of the relegation battle, and reasonably steady, despite some heavy defeats. We’d kick off the second half of the season against my old foes Sheffield United, who were languishing in 19th place (in a league of 20 teams, that’s not […]
The 25/26 season would be a landmark season. For the first time, I’d be leading a Premier League club, the one I’d guided most successfully to the top flight – Crystal Palace. I took a look at my old club, Aldershot, and sadly the 24/25 season saw them end up being relegated from League One. […]
I had five games to save my job. I felt this was most unjust, given the season so far, but so be it. To begin Crystal Palace would travel to Rotherham, who were hovering above the relegation zone. The press was sniffing around at the prospect of an ultimatum, something I naturally poured scorn over. […]
Welcome ‘kats, to the latest round of Meerkat Musings! What’s been happening? Well, NASA successfully landed Perseverance on Mars, only to find someone waiting… Ahem. Jokes aside, this is pretty special, considering the launch, trip and landing have been handled during a time of social distancing and the pandemic. Congratulations to NASA for this amazing […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
In recent days I have been having a ‘back and forth’ with Citizen Tom on the subject of education. Tom believes that education should be in private hands, which he believes would therefore be subject to the whim and will of parents. He does not like what state education teaches, and considers it to immoral. […]
