About Christopher »

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 am due to start a full-time NCTJ newspaper course in Wimbledon, during which time I hope to learn a lot about my skills, my writing and my career of choice.

After this, I have hopes of becoming an outstanding sports, food or travel writer at The Independent, The Guardian or another prestigious national newspaper or broadcasting corporation either in England or in Europe.

Please feel free to leave your thoughts, whether positive or negative, on my profile or under my articles - especially if you disagree with something I have typed. .

    Hey,

    Henry's handball has got the whole football world talking. What better time for another Great Debate? Should Henry have owned up? Is he a cheat? Should FIFA have allowed a replay? Have your say in the great debate!

    Hmm will be tough for Spurs, much depend on Ledley King's fitness. He's a figurehead both on and off the pitch. But they have the talent-though they've had that for a long time. Redknapp's probably the best manager they've had since Jol, who they should never have got rid off. Was good work, enjoyed reading it.

    Hey Christopher,

    I've written an article about Liverpool with religious connections as it is Easter Sunday. Now, I'm not the most religious guy on this earth, as you may have guessed, so I'm not sure how it has come out! I would appreciate your thoughts and views on it as I'm not convinced it came out as well as I had planned!
