What does "at the double" mean in this context? Is it a shortened form of "double?"
That doesn't mean the same thing.Could I also say "on the double" in that sentence?

The word "meek" means quite, but in this case does it means lacklusture?
Yes. The vocabulary of English is extensive so, therefore by reading a lot of sports news it will help improve my vocabulary. I really like it how commentators come up with words, phrases and expressions on the spur of the moment to make their descriptions interesting, exciting and colourful. They constantly find different ways of saying "scoring a goal", "kick", "pass" and so on.Or are you just interested in reading football journalism?
Yes, I did. As a fan of Manchester United, I was totally gutted with the result.Did you actually watch the match?
