Kiran's Bio

Well, to start off with, I come from a country of cricket fanatics. But unlike them I prefer football as my favourite sport.
I also enjoy writing about sports. I am a die hard fan of Manchester United, NY Yankees and the Lakers, although I dont write about the latter two.

There should be an email from Fantasy Premier League in your inbox

Its a fantasy league through the premier league website. You pick players from different EPL teams for your fantasy team. They score points based on their real-life performance for your team. You have to outsmart the other guys by predicting who will play the best in real life matches. I've got a few of the bleacher report guys signed up for the league. If you leave your email on my page, I'll add you to our league, then delete your email from my page. You'll get an email from Fantasy Premier League and you can start to pick your team.

Hey Mate,

The B/R team are looking at creative ways to get the new writers involved,any suggestions from our top writers would be invaluable...

We are considering a poll of topics which our top writers could vote for as the topic for the Round Table Discussions,However,all that is for the future..

Phew! The 3rd Round Table has been published and now we're on course for our forth one...
This time the topic is :

"Who do you think is currently the World's best holding midfielder or CDM?".

Example of these are Viera,M.Diarra,Mascherano,Gattuso,Makelele,Hargreaves,Gilberto,Edmilson etc..pick from these or choose your own but it has to be a holding midfielder..a striker,winger,defender,attacking midfielder will NOT be accepted..

If you want to participate write a contribution 50-150 words long..atleast 50 words and email it to worldfootball@post.com latest by this Sunday or Monday..

If someone feels there are too many roundtables and are putting pressure on the writers,let me know and we'll delay it..

Cheers,
SS
