Alex's Bio

Hi, I'm Alex. I'm a some-time writer, most-time editor on this site. I'm a training journalist, whose keen eye for sporting detail and debate means that I have naturally found myself here at b/r.

Hey mate,

I've started a bit of a column, here's the first, The Bottom Corner, paying tribute to a real legend.

Be sure to have a look at it.

Thanks.

Thanks for the edits Alex. :)

As for the central defense, I see no problem, Pepe and Albiol are solid when they get support from the central midfield, i.e Xabi and Lass/Mahamadou.

I was all for Arbeloa at RB earlier but seeing Garay has shown me how better he is defensively. And then I have been following Stoke City too, they play 4 decent CBs in defense and their home record and goals conceded says it all. So for me Garay has to be LB, even if he sucks going forward!

Benz just needs time, I guess all of us Madridistas are being so critical because David Villa and Alvaro Negredo are doing very very well!

Giggs's form in 2008-09 or 2009-10? I know he's a quality player but he really wasn't as good as he is paying this season!
