Christopher's Bio

Hi. I am 23 years old and have just completed my fourth and final year at the University of Durham, England where I achieved a 2:1 B.A degree in French, Spanish and Catalan.

Having done work experience as a write for a local newspaper recently, I hope to complete my NCTJ within 8 months and become a sports or travel writer at the Independent or the Guardian. I am also a big fan of WSC football magazine.

Please feel free to leave your thoughts, whether positive or negative, on my profile or under my articles.

    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

    Hi Christopher,
    Having been CL of the cricket section for a little while now, I'm looking for new ways to get people talking and build the community, hopefully making cricket one of the more popular sports on Bleacher Report.

    With that in mind, I've decided to do a 'Round Table' column, based on Michael Whittenberg's examples in the NBA section. What this basically comprises of is making a collaborative article from many different writers about a particular subject.

    The headline I want to use is:

    'If you could have any player from another country in your national team, who would it be and why?'.

    I want to get a global perspective and hopefully build a really good discussion.

    If you want to take part, then please write 50-100 words answering that question and send it to bleacherrportcricket@gmail.com. I'll collate the quickest entrants and publish an article on BR.

    Thanks a lot and hope to hear from you soon,

    Jon
