About David »

Hi. I'm David Jacobs. Or, for those of you who know me for my parodies - Weird Dave Stankovic.

I live in England. Currently studying for A-levels at King Solomon High School. I'm 18 years old and a devoted fan of Tottenham Hotspur FC.

Admittedly, I went through the alternating stages of 'Like football' and 'Don't like football'. Now I continue to like football so it's all good now :)

Started off by watching Manchester United in the Champions' League every week.
Then my uncle took me to my first Tottenham Hotspur match when I was 5 or 6.
4-0 against Watford. Ginola swivelling in and out of the Watford players like they were training cones.

I think it took off from there - I had officially become a Spurs fan.

As strange as it may seem though, some of my family are Arsenal fans, while others are Spurs fans.
One of my grandmothers used to go to Spurs on most Saturdays and the other one lived right between White Hart Lane and Highbury! About 1/4 of a mile away from either stadium.

Anyway, I'm going on quite a bit now, so I'll stop.

I love music. So much in fact that I recently got immersed in the world of parodies
and have written over 20 of them on here so far.

I have tried recording a few on youtube as well. Excuse the terrible singing voice:

http://www.youtube.com/user/premiershipparodies

If you have ideas on what you would like as a parody and to what tune,
post a note and I'll see what I can do.

I hope you enjoy my articles/parodies and leave comments on them, etc.
If you like most of my articles/parodies, it'd be very much appreciated if you become my fan :D.

NOTE: If you edit my articles, I politely request that you DO NOT edit my headlines. I check my play-by-play regularly and will only change them back to how I first wrote them.

Remember,If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Many thanks in advance.

David :)

Hey,

Following up yesterday's great debate is the one I've been waiting to write for a long time, and the one I think may be the best debate yet and a must-read for any football fan! Should video technology be introduced into football? Would doing so take away from the 'magic' that makes the game so great? And would it help or hinder the referees? Have your say in the Great Debate!

Hey,

Henry's handball has got the whole football world talking. What better time for another Great Debate? Should Henry have owned up? Is he a cheat? Should FIFA have allowed a replay? Have your say in the great debate!
