Salomon's Bio

I'm a Danish citizen living in England, where i've lived for the last 12 years. Football is the love of my life. I once played for Nottingham Forest, coming through the ranks with a lot of potential (or so I kept getting told), but it didn't quite work out.
At the moment, I'm a Law student at Coventry University..

I'm a die-hard Chelsea supporter, which i've been approximately since 97, when I watched Gianfranco Zola score the winning goal in the cup winners cup final against Stuttgart (I always get mistaken for a glory hunter, which I'm quite sick of)..
Fans of other clubs are always welcome to voice their opinions towards my articles and opinions, because I sure will let them know my opinion lol...

I also love basketball and I follow the NBA on a weekly basis. Houston Rockets is my favourite team, with Tracy McGrady (TMAC) being my favourite player...

Basically, I'm Another Nigga From The Block. So Anything Else You Wanna Kno, Holla At My Assistant !

Don't get wrong nigga, You ARE Bleacher Report HEAVYWEIGHT in every sense of the word but due to the fact the awards were July to August, I had to go by the Top 15 Writers list on the World Football Community Top Writers list at that particular time..

You are still definetly one the best we've got, hoping to get more out of you once the season gets underway.

Hey Mate,

The B/R team are looking at creative ways to get the new writers involved,any suggestions from our top writers would be invaluable...

We are considering a poll of topics which our top writers could vote for as the topic for the Round Table Discussions,However,all that is for the future..

Phew! The 3rd Round Table has been published and now we're on course for our forth one...
This time the topic is :

"Who do you think is currently the World's best holding midfielder or CDM?".

Example of these are Viera,M.Diarra,Mascherano,Gattuso,Makelele,Hargreaves,Gilberto,Edmilson etc..pick from these or choose your own but it has to be a holding midfielder..a striker,winger,defender,attacking midfielder will NOT be accepted..

If you want to participate write a contribution 50-150 words long..atleast 50 words and email it to worldfootball@post.com latest by this Sunday or Monday..

If someone feels there are too many roundtables and are putting pressure on the writers,let me know and we'll delay it..

Cheers,
SS

Budd,

Well Boca are out.
I saw no evidence of any foul play.
That still does not explain some things:

1) I knew the result before the kickoff.
2)Boca has not been eliminated by a Brazilian team from the Libertadores in over 45 years.
3)Fluminense has never won the Libertadores
4)Mainly because of numbers 2) and 3) all the betting worldwide slated Fluminense as a long shot.

See I`m not so crazy when i talk my FIX talk. I knew before hand the fix was in you can`t deny that.

by S
2 months ago

Right you are mate...Barcelona are nuts.

Probably had to do with Ronaldinho. You can`t have them both on one team. I really was not following La Liga closely back then.

Ronaldinho seems to have bonded with Messi but rule of thumb is do not put Argentinians and Brazilians together. Lot of clubs just do not get that.

by S
2 months ago

I believe it was Villarreal and yes it was a bad decision.

by S
2 months ago

No its just that corruption in football I always talk about.

Fluminense MUST win. The word on the street in Rio is this.

Boca will have to beat much more than just players in this one.

Hey, lets see how it goes. If there are dubious decisions and Boca does not proceed because of them well this time I got the message out before.

If nothing happens well....viva football.

by S

Tip of the day:
Riquelme and Boca should be kicked out of Libertadores tonight.
In spite of how much I admire him. He`s going up against the system now.

Hey mate. I just saw an interview with Seedorf and when asked which is more important Champs League or FIFA world Club Cup...he said without adoubt the world championship. Champs League is a stepping stone to be the best.
Seedorf speaks Portuguese ..can you beat that...wife is Brazilian....and he plays with so many Brazilains he just picked it up.

I also saw an interview with Zico and he thinks Champs League is the biggest club tournament in the world with a spirit similar to the world cup.
Zico`s pick for tomorrow is Chelsea by the way.

Hey Salomon,

The best way to reach me is actually via email, at zander@bleacherreport.com

I do my best to keep up with my bulletin board but have been behind on it lately. I sincerely apologize that you feel I have neglected you...that has not been my intention at all! Just been super busy with a lot of "company" matters (trust me, I'd much rather be talking to you).

Anyway tho, from here on out I'll make sure to be more diligent with my responses. Shoot me an email with any outstanding issues you're still having and we'll take care of things.

Best,
Zander

Hey my man Salomon, very kind of you to post a note like that, very much appreciated.

I am with you come the final stages of the season, Chelsea were awesome in the semi final against Liverpool and the game against Man Utd in the league, I want to see Grant do well.

Good luck and my fingers a re crossed for your team.

S,

I think I found the source of the problem: Many of your articles aren't tagged.

To be listed as a Top Writer in a section (or to be featured in the play-by-play), your articles have to be tagged with the tag for the section. Going forward, always be sure to include "FIFA" and "EPL" tags on all your submissions. That should should solve the problem.

Sorry for the confusion, and eep me posted on how everything turns out.

Hey mate,

The rankings on the FIFA homepage are not constant (you would have to ask Ryan or Zander but I see you already have). To see where you really are on the list, head to the home page and click on rankings towards the bottom of the page.

Those are much more stable and you'll see where you are on the whole site.

As for the play by play problems you again need to talk to one of the above.

Salomon,

It looks like Zan responded to your note yesterday. (See the post two below this one.) Let me know if there's any further confusion.

Ryan

Salomon,

Zander is actually the man to ask about Writer Rankings and other Community-type issues. I know we've been playing around with the Ranking algorithm recently, so your dip might be a temporary glitch...but Zan will be able to give you more concrete guidance. Sorry for the runaround.

Ryan

Hey Salomon,

Sometimes the best articles just don't get that much attention—this can happen because the subject the article refers to is already covered by a variety of other sources, or because there aren't enough team and player names in the headline, or because of the time of day you publish it.

Or a host of other reasons.

Bottom line: the amount of people who will read a given article is somewhat unpredictable.

That said, you might want to take a look at this blog entry I wrote about how to get your articles on the front page of the site, which can really help boost your readership: http://blog.bleacherreport.com/?p=36

Keep at it Salomon—don't let the limited success of a single article discourage you!

Hey Salomon,

This is Zander Freund, Bleacher Report's Content and Community Director.

It was brought to my attention that some articles written by BlueChampion were published under your account. I've gone ahead and deleted these articles, and wanted to stress that anything you publish with your name on it should be written by you.

If you like BlueChampion's work, you should encourage him to sign up for an account (which it appears you have done) and meanwhile publish only your own articles under your account.

Let me know if you have any questions about this. Please keep the great analysis coming!
