Alan's Bio
My name is Alan McGuinness and I'm the Chelsea Community Co-Leader alongside Salomon Gonzales.
I'm 19 and a die-hard Chelsea fan and season ticket holder (West Stand Lower) from London.
I'm currently studying Journalism at the University of Kent, and loving student life.
My ambition is to become a Journalist and writing on this site combines two of my passions: football and writing. I discovered this site via an advertisement on Facebook last summer and I'm glad I took the time to sign up.
I mainly write articles about Chelsea, but also occasionally on other Premier League teams. With qualifcation for the 2010 World Cup under way, I'll also be writing some articles on the Republic of Ireland and their quest to reach South Africa.
At the moment I'm finding my time to write articles cut short by University commitments, but I'll try to contribute when I can.
My first Chelsea game was on 28th October 1998 against Aston Villa, a game which Chelsea won 4-1 and John Terry made his first team debut. My favourite Chelsea memory is seeing the club win the Premiership in 2005, something which I never thought I'd see the club do.
I have my own website and blog where I post my work: http://alanmcguinness.com
You can also follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Alanmcg89
I also write articles for The Shed End, a Chelsea fan site, and my work has been featured on Fox Soccer.

Thanks for the POTD Alan, appreciate it.
Guess the transfer makes Chelsea's work a little easier next year!

Hey,
The Season's Finally Over. FC Barcelona were crowned European Champions!
I'm reviewing the events and admitting with the heavy heart that Barca were the better team.

Was the referee actually right in the Chelsea vs Barcelona match? Certainly, I don't think he had as bad a game as some people are making out! And what should be done about Drogba and Ballack's actions to the referee? What about this conspiracy theory? Do you beleive it?
Join the Great Debate!

Sorry mate
Wow, I was right about both semi finals in the review. Manchester United too strong for Arsenal and a tight single (away) goal seperating Chelsea and Barcelona.
