Simon's Bio

I am 33 and live in Australia. I have been an Arsenal member for more years than I care to remember. Always wanted to write but never quite found the right outlet.... until I found Bleacher Report. Now the world will have something it has never had before..... MY OPINION hahaha.. I follow many sports including Rugby (both kinds) cricket , Aussie Rules Football, Motor Racing and more. As far a football goes, i also follow my local team Melbourne Victory.

Hi,
I've had quite a productive day on Bleacher! Written two editorial articles, and started a new series called Cult Heroes - which profiles past heroes of clubs, illustrating why they are so popular. First piece focuses on Arsenal legend Tony Adams.
I hope you'll have a read!

Hey Simon

What does it take to become a Saint?

It may not be great, but for some reason I'm mighty proud of this. I've poured my heart out, and no matter the criticism, this article will stay close to me.
Thanks for reading.

The Underestimated Importance of Football Agents

For some the roles of agents keep football the billion pound industry it is across the world today.

For others agents are unnecessary commodities that suck millions of pounds out of the game each year at the expense of the sport. Which Side do you sit on?

Be sure to leave your opinion Simon!

Hey Simon

I know I have always stood firmly in my belief that Cristiano is highly over rated, and very immature. Recently , I've seen alot of change in him.
Here's an attempt at convincing MYSELF, that he's not such a bad person after all...
The more he matures , the less I will hate him...
So here's a peace offering for the last four years , for all the mean things I've said about him, I might still not like him a lot, but I hate him much less after writing this article
