About Ricky »

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!

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!

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:
