Growing up, sport was never just a scoreline. It was where you learned to argue properly, where you found out who your family really was when the ninetieth minute arrived, and where the numbers on the page never quite explained why you couldn't sleep the night before a final. There was a DVD in our house, watched over and over, of a Six Nations campaign that everyone else had already forgotten. That's the moment FME actually started, years before it had a name.
By the time the first pieces were being written, one thing was obvious: the best sports conversation was already happening everywhere it wasn't being published, in living rooms, group chats, and the walk home from the ground. FME exists to put that conversation on the page properly, with the same conviction it has at full volume among friends. No hedging, no stats dump pretending to be an opinion. Just the take, and the reasons behind it.
Form. Stats. Predictions.
Glory. Heartbreak. The moments we never forget.
Those moments happen on the pitch, the court, the track, in front of our eyes. FME exists in that gap between the data and the drama.
