Wealdstone had found themselves in the unusual territory of 8th place in League Two, at the halfway point of the 21/22 season, despite being a newly promoted club. With very limited resources, we had pulled off some great results, and moved well clear of the expected relegation dogfight. Instead, we were loitering near the playoff […]
The 20/21 season could not have gone better for Wealdstone. We had won the Vanarama National League at a canter, and booked our place in the Football League for the first time in the club’s long history. For 21/22, League Two football awaited, with numerous challenges. The players seemed to believe staying up was a […]
Wealdstone had a 13-point lead at the top of the Vanarama National League, after 30 games. There was still more or less a third of the season to go, and it could yet all end in tears, but so far, the club had defied expectations. The original objective? Avoid relegation. It was fair to say […]
For part one, see here. After 15 games Wealdstone sat top of the Vanarama National League, which, given the pre-season objective of ‘avoid relegation’, was considerably better progress than I could have asked for. The team had played extremely well, though I still expected the wheels to come off at some point. As we moved […]
This should be easy for me. I am a fountain of useless information. You may be thinking, whaaaaaaaaaaat? It’s true. They can tilt as far as 28 degrees, without going over. In fact, UK double-decker buses have to pass a test relating to this, before they are deemed road-worthy. 2. I once held a world […]
It’s a New Year (and a new laptop!), so what better time to start a new career on Football Manager?! This is on the 2021 edition of the game, so we’re rewinding the clock a little. The 2020 European Championships and the 2022 World Cup have not yet taken place, and it remains to be […]
Well, this is terrifying. Imagine a scenario similar to the creepy and popular video game series, Five Night’s at Freddy’s. The souls of both evil murderers, and their victims, find themselves trapped in animatronic monstrosities. Instead of following the games, what if this happened for every murder?! The animatronic that the murderer and the victims […]
I hope someone remembered to wake up Green Day. September has ended, and colder days are settling in. Welcome to the Meerkat Muse. What awaits us in October? Turmoil She’s been Prime Minister for little more than a month, yet Liz Truss seems determined to eclipse even Boris Johnson for ineptitude. The mini-budget from Chancellor […]
Here we go again. After several false starts, I have a new adventure on FM 2021. Last time I eventually took Leeds to Premier League glory, but could not crack Europe. What will this journey hold in store? The preamble is that I am a Sunday League football with no prior experience. Where will I […]
May the Fourth be with you! Yes, it’s Star Wars day, and it just so happens to be a Muse day! Poetic! Memory Fails I am growing increasingly convinced my mind is not what it was. Is it a consequence of covid? Is it a misfiring synapse in my brain? I’m not talking major memory […]
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...
Ever since I was a cub, I have generally speaking been fond of swimming. I don’t do it often, but when I do, I enjoy it. I consider myself a reasonably confident swimmer, and I have few qualms about going out into the sea when at the beach (well, when I’m somewhere warm, with clear […]
