About

My name is Austin Lindberg and I am a freelance journalist having a bit of fun on BR. I primarily write about European football, MotoGP, the NHL and baseball. In those subjects, my primary focus is the US Men's National Team, Chelsea, the Minnesota Wild and Minnesota Twins.

In the past, I've reported on the Premier League, US Men's National Team, and Minnesota Thunder while operating out of Minneapolis and London.

If you wish to reach me, you can do so via email at lindberg.austin@gmail.com. I am also on facebook and you can follow me on twitter on @austinlindberg. Thanks for reading, and if you have any questions, comments, criticisms or ideas, please feel free to contact me.

    Austin, after the Henry handball yesterday, I have decided that replay must be implemented in the beautiful game somehow. Please tell me your reaction.

    Hi Austin, noticed you are the FC for Chelsea and thought this little stat might be a useful point to kick-start an analysis.

    12 games into the season (roughly a third of the way through, so long enough to detect a trend) and Chelsea have 30 points. If you extrapolated that out for the rest of the season they'd end up with 95 points. (30/12 * 38 = 95)

    Last time a team got 95 points in a Premier League season? Chelsea won the title in 2004/05...

    Might be worth a discussion =D
