FA 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 ov...

The 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 ...

The 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-Bo...

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 ...

"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 b...

I fumed and scowled pretty much all the way to Bologna's airport, ignoring the rapidly-growing number of texts, emails, and voice messages popping up on my phone.

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 ...

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 ...
2025-04-11 12:04:14 +0000 UTC View PostHi 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 until later. 2025-04-07 10:10:13 +0000 UTC View Post

Hey all, I need to postpone tomorrow's chapter.
This week (with incredible help from Nid - thankksssss) I went through the final proofs for book 6 and sent in the audiobook notes. Lots of work, quite draining.
My deal with Podium goes to book 6. If you remember, it's the one where...

R.E.M. is a sports agency based in Chester, England. REMSA is its South American arm and is based in Sao Paulo, Brazil. 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...
