2.2 - The Black Panther [T1]
2.Saturday, January 9FA Cup Third Round: Chester versus Sunderland"I think I might have defied the gods one too many times," I mused, as the Sunderland players ran around hugging each other and celebrating and all that crap. It's just a goal, mate. Get over yourself.For the away team, the stakes weren't...

15.Saturday, December 19The Lufthansa lounge was packed, so we had to split up. Emma and Briggy grabbed a couple of recliners, while I went with Angel to a sort of alcove thing with two comfy armchairs separated by an ugly square table. I bagsied the space German-style by leaving a scarf - a gift from Bayern Munich - o...
1.14 - Fallout [T1]
14.LEAVE THE CAPITAL WASTELANDThe Brig drove while my mind raced. Every police car seemed to be hunting us, every rando speedster that came up our arse seemed ready to knock us off the road. My right forearm felt like it had ballooned up, making it seem like I was wearing a Pip-Boy from the Fallout video game franchise...
Chapter tomorrow [plus some art]
Hi, sorry for this but it has been a weird day. I'm nearly done with the first draft of the next chapter but I have a headache and my back hurts and if I try to power through it's just not going to be polished and I'll miss important elements. The theme should be cool so I'd rather take a minute to do i...

11."There is a saying," said Paul Braun, star player turned superstar sports executive, "that all publicity is good publicity. What do you think, is that true?""No," I said. "If your player goes drink driving, films himself kicking a cat, films himself singing racist songs, that's bad. F...

Become a Patron to read ahead!5.It was a typical contradiction: I liked to arrive early but hated waiting. Waiting's simply what you do in a waiting room. Waiting was my mission so I would wait like a champion.After ten motionless seconds, I stood and paced to the far side of the room. It was bland, windowless, alm...
1.4 - Empathy for the Devil [T1]
4.I led Pedro Porto and Briggy into the Ninth Circle of Hell, also known as Ambers' Bar. I knew that a watering hole inside Sutton United's stadium would be full of people who hated me but I wanted to have the meeting in public with alcohol available so there weren't many options. Any pub near the stadium w...

Chapter Tomorrow
Hi all! Friday's chapter was so massive it set me back a tad. I've done 80% of the next one but it's also running a little long and my wife doesn't like one of the scenes (apparently I'm 'such a boy') and she's super busy today so we're not going to have time to sit and work it out u...

Note from Ted: This is an experiment in doing the numbers as a separate 'chapter'. I probably should have done this from the start... If you don't care about the data side of Player Manager, why not check out Mexico's 1978 World Cup kit instead. Look whose name is on instead of the manufacturer. Whut.Th...

It's not true, though. Best has taken a sixth tier team that was in danger of releg...

Lots of work, quite draining.My deal with Podium goes to book 6. If you remember, it's the one where R. Brown jumps ship and in the e...

Both branches rely heavily on Masterplanalytics, a Wales-based company that uses sophisticated algorithms in conjunction with a more old-fashioned approach to make its talent ID recommendations.
