About

You won't find me giving many game previews, mainly because all you need to know is who we're playing, nor will I ever give power rankings or stat-filled betting guides. I'm sticking strictly to the meat and potatoes: who we're playing, what happened when we played them, and how does it all influence the standings.

I will, however, be very open and honest with my opinions. I'm not afraid to tell you what I think and why you should agree with me. I might end up getting a little emotional every now and again, but this is sport and sport without emotion is a waste.

My Writer's Cannon:
-I will live and die with the Crew,
-I will be a fan first, journalist second,
-I will make you wish you'd been at the game,
-I will never take notes at a game,
-I will be brutally honest at all times,
and
- I will always let my passion show through my writing.

I'm always open to tips and criticism, so drop me a line or leave me a comment.

If you feel the urge you can send me an email.
