Raphael's Bio

I'm currently studying Economics and Philosophy and expect to graduate in 2009. I enjoy all sports including, but not limited to, football (soccer), rugby (mostly sevens), cricket and F1. I love football and support Chelsea and Juventus, along with my national side England.

I have extensive knowledge of the EPL and Serie A as well as the history and major players and events of football (soccer) partly thanks to my father (who looks and talks uncannily like Jose Mourinho) and his neverending anecdotes about the great English, Hungarian, Dutch, Polish, German, Soviet, Italian etc. etc. etc. sides.

I love writing my opinion and putting in my two cents worth and I'm itching to contribute more to this site.

  1. Here's my first shot at a "soccer" article: Would love to hear your comments:

    http://bleacherreport.com/articles/146452-us-mens-soccer-is-landon-donovan-really-the-best-we-can-do

  2. Im doing another Chelsea Round Table soon and I'd appreciate it if you took part in it.

    The topic is going to be...

    " What To Do With John Obi Mikel".

    We all know he has enjoyed a superb start to the season. His composed style of play and obvious quality has left many Chelsea supporters somewhat sceptical about Essien's return from injury. What happens when he does return. Should Mikel accept it and find his place on the bench again? Or should Essien be made to work and earn his place back? Which one of the two players actually fit our system best?

    These are some of the questions that needs answering.

    If you decide to take part then, you need to write to me before this Tuesday..

    Send your entry to this email... phatballer_85@hotmail.com

  3. Thanks for the comment. I read your article, pretty tight stuff man. Arshavin is booming. Unfortunately, he's 27, his career is going to be shorter than most rising stars.
