Hey Paul—Jeff here, a Bleacher Report Community Coordinator.

I've been spending time on our EPL page and read a couple of your old articles. Really on-point analysis...you do good work.

Given that you haven't written in a while, I thought I'd check in and see if you're interested in picking up your coverage again. What do you say?

If not, it would be great if you could give me some feedback on why you decided to stop writing and what we could have done to better serve you. If you wouldn't mind, please shoot me a line at jeff@bleacherreport.com with any thoughts.

Thanks so much,

Jeff

Yo,

I've noticed that you have written Rugby articles before, and as I am trying to get the rugby section going with a regular input. I hoped that you would add more articles in the future. Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks

Sean

I know a couple of guys that were with Fidentia in one way or another, white guys Conway Hardiman, John Giannakis and a black guy we call Bullet were all at Fidentia, I presume with you or one or two might have been in the academy.

I'm going to try and play in the Junior leagues...the 30 quid win bonus type stuff.

Sorry to hear about the injury bud, but at least we can always write.

Hey Paul. It's just a lil button under the search section and it says + in your lineup. Yeah I'm actually just in from training. Just doing pre season with Callies (amateurs) and trying to get fit for moving to Scotland. Got a dodgy ankle so I'm kind of having one last go at it.

PE is a little quiet as usual. How you Paul? Hows the football going?

Hey Paul,

I just wanted to let you know that Bleacher Report has launched out of beta with an updated look and feel and some great new features. Check out the "Game On" link in the header to find out more.

Next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements—and it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.

Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend Paul!
