About

I'm Jack, I'm a Featured Columnist for bleacher report, writing primarily about Chelsea and Serie A.
When not writing for B/R I work as a football analyst for Football Radar in London, covering Serie A & B.
Although football and in particular Chelsea are my main passions I'm keen on all sports.
In particular I follow international cricket, golf, tennis, boxing, NBA, MLB and NFL.
I graduated from the University of Portsmouth in 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Combined Modern Languages (Italian, Spanish and Portuguese). Also an alumni of IULM (Milan) and Universidad de Zaragoza as part of the Erasmus programme.

    No problem, Jack. I didn't think his first name was going to fit either when I first saw it.

    I think you should cite them somehow, but the content standards people have an issue with citing betting sites. You could email them for clarification at contentstandards@bleacherreport.com.

    Haha, dude I've learned the hard way about how taboo it is to support Spurs and Arsenal here at BR. I'll put it this way: My time at BR has forced me to clearly pick which side I support first and foremost, and that has always been Spurs. But if you ask me who I'd like to see finish fourth, Arsenal, Chelsea or Liverpool, Arsenal are my pick. I'm just a big fan of the way things are run at Arsenal, and despite his stubborn ways, I'm a big fan of the way Wenger operates as well.

    Great work by yourself as well, keep it up. I'm a big fan of the Serie A, and I'd admittedly write alot more about it if it brought in more reads and badges.

    Since you're a Serie A guy and a Chelsea guy, who're you rooting for this week, Napoli or Chelsea. I'm for Napoli, they've been one of my favorite Serie A teams since last year.

    Hey Jack! You're very welcome. Great writing!

    I wouldn't say I'm as huge of a fan as you seemingly are, but I do watch Serie A every weekend. I follow Juve most closely, but have really enjoyed the entire league this season.

    I'll definitely be looking at your stuff as the standard for Italian football writing on BR.

    Hi Jack! Yes, the correct construction of "No. 1" is the same for higher numbers (No. 2 or No. 23).

    With regard to your second question, it's better to say "the 14th seed" or "the No. 14 seed" instead of "the 14 seed."

    Lastly, yes, it's correct to spell out "first" through "ninth," while 10th and above should be in digit form. (As an exception, all numbers in headlines should be presented in digit form, even numbers under 10 and numbers at the beginning of headlines).

    I hope this all makes sense! Keep up the good work :)
