Ricky's Bio

I'm all about the football. Play it, breathe it, live it and argue it 24/7. I've supported Manchester United as long as I can remember and when I stumbled across this bleacher report thing, I got hooked! I've always fancied myself as a bit of a journalist so sports writing here should be good fun.

I'm a college student living in London and I think I write very differently to a lot of people on B/R so if you like my style don't hesitate to become a fan!

Hi Ricky, It's Weird Dave Yankovic here once more :)
I have a few parodies stored up, such as one about Carlos Tevez's facial appearance and Ashley Cole's shenanigans behind Cheryl's back.

In the meantime, here's one concerning David Bentley's future at Spurs:
