About Barnaby »

Finished uni in 2007 and then spent some months travelling Thailand, Singapore, Austalia, New Zealand and Japan. I'm back home (near London) and freelance as a football reporter - mainly for Southampton, Brighton and Aldershot home games - for a publication called The League Paper.

I'd like to become a full-time sports journalist but jobs are currently limited so I'll be using BR to develop my writing in the mean time.

I'm an Arsenal fan but I'll try to be as impartial as possible and write from a reporter's perspective.

    Good article & overall point. As a United fan I've always hated Arsenal, but mainly in the same way Arsenal fans must hate SAF for all...

    Hi Barnaby, can't see feedback when you post it on the actual article. Best way would probably be to write on my bulletin board. Thanks though, and I look forward to reading more of your work.

    Hey Barnaby,

    I'm a bit new because, I've only started watching Arsenal and the EPL seriously for about 3 years now. But even before that, I found that I liked Arsenal, mainly because my favorite footballers when I was younger were Henry and Seaman, lol, so they connected me to the club. Most of my friends are Manchester United supporters (only because Dwight Yorke played there) and Chelsea supporters, Liverpool doesn't generate such a crowd like the other 3.

    Yeah, we get live EPL games in Trinidad and Tobago, we have FSC. But I mostly watch them on the internet because sometimes the games you want to see are not always shown on FSC.

    What about you how long have you been a Gooner?

    Hey Barnaby,

    Welcome to the Bleacher Report! It's always great to have a fellow Gooner joining the BR. Read both your Cesc Fabregas and Wimbledon Final Articles. Very good! Keep it up!

    See ya
    Tahira

    P.S
    As a gooner I will be happy to keep Cesc but we need more than just one loyal player. I do agree with the point of us relying on him way too much!
