Willie's Bio

Hailing from the land of Saints and Scholars I come from a long tradition of people who clearly have too much time on their hands and like voicing their opinion, so if you've nothing better to do on a rainy morning take a trawl through my back catalogue. There you'll find articles ranging from football to food to comics to boxing to cattle to westerns and music and then back to football again, with a little bit of history thrown in for good measure.

I am the community leader for Spurs, so if you want to contact me about them or whatever is on your mind leave me a note and I'll get back to you.

I also contribute to www.TOsports.ca and www.ComeonSpurs.com, and have been lucky enough to see an article or two be picked up by FOX Sports and BBC 606 and seen as everyone else in the world is doing it, check out http://twitter.com/WillieGannon (it's crap really so only do it if you're really bored)

I honestly believe Spurs have a chance, it all depends on the other teams messing it up though.

But I don't want them qualifying on Liverpool's account.

I wish Man U would fall out of it, but that ain't happening though.

Would be nice seeing Spurs in the Champions League.

Like I said, I'm almost as sad as Good Ol' 'Aarry that Dudu didn't score today, what a waste.

Wenger is gonna be mad.

Now that's more like it.

A fun Willie is a healthy Willie.

Hey Willie,

How 'bout you make an article about the upcoming Derby.

You can put your impressions 'bout the game, and take mine and Stefan's as well.

Whaddya say ?

Damn it Willie,

you just ruined my bet, I was excited over nothing :(

I know you're a good sport, you're better than to fall in some stupid hatred rivalry.

I honestly have no clue, this is a derby match, expect some West Ham like madness to unfold.

Last year Arsenal were 4-2 , but Spurs ruined our evening with 2 late goals.

I hope Arsenal stop wasting points, it's not gonna be an easy game that's for sure.

Hey Willie,

with the derby coming up, I thought we should make things interesting.

How 'bout we make a bet like the one me and Austin had.

Who ever wins, the other has to write an article flattering the rival team and talking it like a man.
