    Thanks for becoming a fan, Emile! I've really enjoyed your writing, especially this most recent panic piece for arsenal fans. I've never been too big on world futbol, but luckily there are writers like across B/R with really terrific knowledge and insight. Keep up the great work and if you have any questions or suggestions about the site please feel free to contact me.

    Thanks, man! Time, as always, is my issue. If I'm taking three days to get back to an FC, I'm sure they wouldn't be pleased if in that three-day span they saw that I took the time to write "XX Reasons Why Samir Nasri Should be Tarred and Feathered." That said, I'm going to "try" to get something up in the next two weeks. Keep up the good work! Loved the Gunners-Most-Likeable piece, naturally.

    No problem pal - and thank you for yours!

    Just perusing your profile... I remember seeing Darren Lockyer in a Broncos-Raiders game at Suncorp some six or seven years ago. He was pretty excellent, an absolute legend of the NRL if I'm not mistaken? A shame he never came and played in the Super League!

    I don't know if you got this in the comment section, but in reference to the article on the total cost of RVP and others, I wanted to leave the reply here also, just in case:

    Will told me that the the people usually higher up don't like this, but you can try and create a new angle and then push for it again. The lede is the small bit that shows up in many websites, and is considered one of the bits that make the readers want to read your article. Here's a bit of more information about it: http://blog.bleacherreport.com/2011/04/14/br-101-how-to-write-a-good-lede/
