Chronicles of Football Manager
I recently started serialising my Football Manager career – at least, the one that I am most pleased with. Part Two has just gone up!

The pressure continues to mount on Man United boss Louis Van Gaal, after an ultimately tame performance against arch rivals Liverpool in the Europa League at Old Trafford condemned his side to exiting the competition in the last 16. With a huge Derby game against Man City at the weekend, and a potentially very tricky […]
It’s been a difficult past couple of weeks for Arsenal and their manager, Arsene Wenger. Defeats to Man Utd and Swansea, plus a draw with Spurs, have eradicated the momentum they might have gained from beating Leicester. A reprieve, in the form of thrashing Hull in their FA Cup replay, offered some form of optimism, […]
A short time ago the first leg of Liverpool and Manchester United’s first ever European clash came to an end – with Liverpool drawing first blood with a 2-0 win, that could have been a lot more if not for Utd’s ‘keeper, De Gea, pulling off several good saves. The implications for both clubs are […]
As the 2015/16 Premier League season enters its crucial final phase, and combined with the desire to tell this tale before my memory fails me (and before the game gives up), I am documenting what I regard as my greatest either Football Manager career – Part 1 is now up, please check it out!
It seems that every week Leicester are expected to fail, or fall short, or drop points. Watford, away from home, was billed as a banana skin, yet on a weekend where Leicester’s two closest challengers drew with each other, the Foxes once again claimed 3 points to move five points clear at the top (meaning […]
Whilst Leicester City grab the headlines for continuing to top the league table, their two biggest rivals for the title are going head to head this weekend, in a clash that runs much deeper than a pair of title contenders battling it out. Tottenham vs Arsenal. The North London Derby. A match that always gets […]
A busy couple of nights in the Premier League has yielded yet another shift in momentum for various teams all chasing various goals. On Tuesday, Leicester City were held to a draw at home against West Brom, having actually gone behind to begin with, before going 2-1 up at one stage. Their failure to win […]
Will their wait go on? Arsenal succumbed to a 3-2 defeat at Old Trafford against Man Utd earlier today, putting them five points behind leaders Leicester with the same number of games played. Having won their previous league fixture (against Leicester), Arsenal might have been expected to gain momentum, but a 0-0 draw in the […]
Having lost so narrowly (and in such heartbreaking circumstances) to Arsenal in their last league fixture, Leicester’s title ambitions might have been expected to take a knock. In the face of such a setback, and without title-chasing experience, could Leicester rebound from their Emirates defeat? The answer? Yes. In beating Norwich today they showed two […]
In the not so distant future, I will have been blogging at Meerkat Musings for TEN years. That's sort of scary. I never set out to reach a milestone like that, but ten years on, Meerkat Musings feels like my home-on-the-web, so to speak. #BloggingCommunity
Now, this I find difficult. Of those I have tried, which admittedly is not many, I am rather fond of McDonald's fries, though Burger King's have grown on me.
Also posted on The Coalition of the Brave. There is a question that’s recently been circulating around the web. It’s aimed at women, and the responses are quite telling. ‘Would you rather be alone in the woods with a man, or a bear?’ A lot of women are choosing the bear. The reason is simple […]
