About

Callum Mackenzie is a History student at the University of Reading, a passionate Arsenal, New Orleans Saints and Chicago Blackhawks supporter, and a writer for Bleacher Report.

After beginning writing for B/R in May 2012, Callum was subsequently made an Arsenal Featured Columnist within a couple months and contributes regularly to B/R's Arsenal, Premier League and sometimes NFL coverage.

Callum can often be found sounding off about football (both European and American) and other sports, music, TV, film and the perils of university life and everything that comes with it on Twitter. Follow him, and he'll happily talk to you about anything which takes your fancy.

Callum's interests include music (both listening to and performing), film, sports (naturally) and all sorts of other bits and bobs, ranging from current affairs to video games.

    No way?! That's awesome, I've still never been. Hopefully they've managed to snap their horrendous record at FedEx Field and can close the season strong.

    Thanks for the props on the Redskins article mate. It got no placement on the site whatsoever and promptly sank without trace, but nevermind, eh?!

    Another leaguey on B/R!?!? Now this is a day to remember!!

    Haha yes mate, old Darren's one of the greats all right. My Grandad introduced me to State of Origin when I was about 10, before Queensland went all world domination on Origin, so I was fortunate enough to have a hell of a lot of Lockyer brilliance to gratuitously woop about, safe in the knowledge that I'd done the hard yards in the halls of league fandom.

    I see you're a Wales rugby fan too! Mate, I just about lost it when Warburton got sent off against France in the World Cup semi...a Welsh-All Blacks final!! Nostradamus wouldn't have bet on it! Haha.

    Looking forward to tonight's (presumably your "this morning's") match. Kill all acronyms I say, but against better judgment, COYG!

    Gidday mate - thanks very much for your kind words! As I'm sure you know that's what keeps us going in this cruel world of exhausting unpaid sports journalism. I've always enjoyed your work immensely, we're cut from the same cloth you and I, onwards and upwards as they say!

    All the best mate
