About Emma »

I am 22 years old and live in London. Having graduated from University in June, I am now trying to kick start my career in sports journalism! I am a massive Chelsea fan, have a season ticket and watch all the games on tv! I have extensive knowledge of the Premier League and I follow all the football news. I will never miss a Match of the Day and I am often tuned into Sky Sports News.

My other interests include tennis, reading, writing, travelling and socialising with friends.

Im looking to do another round table..

The title of the round table will be- John Obi Mikel: Flattering To Deceive or A Top Notch Talent?

Here's a list of questions that you could consider..

1- Has he done better than expected?
2- Does he deserve all the critisism that come his way?
3- Should he keep his place, once Essien returns to fitness?
4- He's 21 now, looking at his past performances.. How good do you reckon he could get?
5- Does he really make as many mistakes as opposition fans are claiming?

Hi Emma,

I've written article looking at Chelsea's pledge to develop young talent as a way to cut costs during the economic downturn and whether the club is actually making any effort to do so. I thought you might want to check it out:

West Lower, although I'd much prefer to sit in the MHL, the atmosphere is so much better.
