I'm a die-hard supporter of Arsenal FC, which is quite odd considering that I reside in the United States of America. Soccer immediately became my passion and obsession after the 2010 FIFA World Cup, and naturally I chose Arsenal as my favorite team because they play the most beautiful football in England. My mission is to help turn America into a soccer nation, and having the opportunity to play a role in that here would simply be a delight for me.
I'm an official member of B/R's team of soccer writers, and I look forward to bringing you coverage of everything in the world of the beautiful game.

Charlie, thanks for the message on my board. While I can't speak for the feedback the other editors gave you, I'll try to explain the "age" guidelines. Two hyphens are used when "year" is singular...for example: "He is a 34-year-old midfielder" or "The 34-year-old midfielder." When year is plural, there are no hyphens used...so, for example: "The midfielder is 34 years old" or like in your article, "Even at 34 years old..."
Since there is some confusion on this point, I'll include the link to the B/R Style Question Clearinghouse so you can take a look (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AoTw9Kwt3agydDBkMTVqXzNmcHBDM0c3WkdtYlBKd0E#gid=0). Near the top, there is a section called "Ages." If you have an AP Stylebook, there's also a section in there that might help clear it up a bit.

Hilarious. Guess you'll be supporting Spurs this Saturday then? :p
Heaps of flaws in the 'Worst Signings of The Transfer Window', can really tell that you fell in love only a couple of years ago...
Easy...I was raised an Arsenal fan, but I took to Tottenham a few years back because I was a huge fan of Robbie Keane and Tottenham had Mido and Hossam Ghaly in the team at that time too. They've all since departed, but I've been a fan of Tottenham's underdog mentality in the EPL so I've stayed loyal since.
I support Arsenal in every match they play in, except when they go up against Spurs of course.

Maybe we could raise some awareness for this potential signing. I think he is the closest thing the world has to another Wayne Rooney and if West Ham were to get him his value would certainly rise into the £15-20millions. Fantastic player with work ethic and potential to play as our number 10 as well as number 9. Let me know what you think, lets get this guy noticed by Arsenal fans.
Hi,
Thanks a lot for adding me to your favorite writers. I see that we share two things in common—Arsenal and residence in the United States.
Could you have a look at my newest article and tell me what you think?
I really enjoyed reading your past few articles. You really understand Arsenal.
Check out my new article! Remember to leave any feedback if you disagree.
