About Chris »

I am the creator of the web's most popular football (soccer) comic strip - Studs Up (http://studs-up.com/).

Football consumes my dreams and fuels my nightmares. Often I will start kicking a local neighborhood dog simply to provide some kind of football-related stimulus. For my last ever meal, I would request a 'Greatest World Cup Goals' DVD covered in baked beans.

The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes

Boris Becker, David Ginola, Jurgen Klinsmann, Marco Van Basten, Jason Kidd
Favorite Sports Teams
All Time Sports Moment
Most Memorable Game Attended
Most Unbreakable Sports Record
Ruth or Mays?
Unitas or Montana?
Jordan or Russell?
Gretzky or Orr?
Pele or Maradona?

I don't think I know anyone who has seen Pele play 90 minutes, or knows anyone else who has. So I've often been stumped as to how anyone rates him as the best ever.
Federer or Sampras?

Becker.
Tiger or Nicklaus?
Petty or Earnhardt?
Schumacher or Senna?
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Hey EPL—Dave Mo 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 dmorrison@bleacherreport.com with any thoughts.

Thanks so much,

Dave Mo

Mate this is serious stuff. I'm going to need you to send the detail's to Zander Freund (the website owner). I'll write to him now and tell him to expect a note from you.

I'm sorry this has happened mate but Zander will definitley sort it out for you. I just don't have the powers.

Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Your article will have had its time on the main page and it's unlikely to be up again. Just the way the site works.

Sounds like you're getting plenty of exposure from it so I wouldn't worry if I was you.

Keep up the good work.
