Ollie's Bio

I'm Ollie, 19, and I live in Milton Keynes, but go to university in Southampton, where I study Sports Writing. I enjoy Football (Soccer), Cricket and Motorsport, which is pretty big in Milton Keynes, since F1 team Red Bull racing are based, Silverstone is less than ten minutes drive from my house and Indy Car Prodigy Dan Wheldon is a Milton Keynes boy.

I'm no stranger to American Sports either, and once went all the way to New York to see my favourite team Tampa Bay Lightning play the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden. They lost 5-0.

  1. Also, I didn't misunderstand your point, I was just trying to neutralise the threat of you going along with that tw*t called Eric who had the audacity to question my support and put up absolutely rubbish arguments in the comment threads.

  2. Not going to argue. I know I'm right, there is nothing wrong with saying a match was boring. Obviously it was a very important game, but be criticised for analysing a match and saying it was boring from the neutral's perspective, oh please.

    Actually you probably didn't know as I wrote in first person mainly, I was trying to distance myself and become a bit of a neutral in the article. Although when it came to United, I think I failed on that part, especially when talking about Chelsea.

    Anyway, let's put this behind us. I'm going to write a glowing praise of the Gills, such is the nature of the average hypocritical football fan. In fact I might write two articles, one analysis, one my 'story' of the match, as all I'm saying is... "lush pitch invasion."

  3. Never question my loyalty to the Gills please.

  4. hey ollie,
