    So I keep on seeing all of these previews of the EPL and I wanted to do something to preview La Liga and I was wondering if you were interested in being involved. I was thinking something along the lines of like 5 questions that we all respond to or something?

    Hiya lad,

    Welcome to BR. Great writing so far, especially your piece on Man United fans. You put into words what City fans have been thinking for a LONG LONG time about that (cough, cough) club.

    Hey Ben, Welcome to Bleacher Report. It is great to have another Madrid fan join. Really enjoyed your article on Casillas and could not agree more that he is the best in the world.
    I made a few small edits to the article. Take a look and feel free to change anything you dont agree with.
    If you have any questions dont hesitate to ask.

    I look forward to reading more of your work in the future.
