About George »

I have been a sports enthusiast for as long as I can remember, initially watching and playing as much football (soccer) as I could and gradually branching out into other sports. Today I will watch just about any sport I can and enjoy writing about a number of different subjects. I am a long suffering Cambridge United fan (they play in the fifth tier of English football in case you're not familiar with their misfortunes). I have been writing about sport for the best part of three years now and hope to for a long time to come.

The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes

Usain Bolt, Rupeni Caucaunibuca, Eric Cantona, Faustino Asprilla, Lionel Messi, Wayne Rooney
Favorite Sports Teams

Cambridge United
Favorite Coaches

Fabio Capello, Brian Clough, Roy Keane
All Time Sports Moment

Manchester United's second goal in the 1999 champions league final was unbelievable. What a comeback.
Most Memorable Game Attended

I was fortunate enough to be at the Manchester United v Barcelona champions league semi-final last season. Scholes' strike was phenomenal and the atmosphere was electric but it was Messi who really stood out.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

I'm not sure if a team will ever go undefeated in the Premier League again like Arsenal did in 2003/2004.

Hey George,

The US Open Draw was released earlier today. I've analyzed the Men's draw, in addition to the Top Ten players' form and recent performance, and made some projection in an unconventional way.
Check it out. I am sure you'll like it.
Thank you so much,

Hi George,

You edited one of my pieces a while back and love what you did with it. If you want to check out my new piece on the Mets-Phillies rivalry that would be great. If not, no big deal.

Thanks George for the good feedback.

As much as I would love to see into my crystal ball and predict at least a 10-win season for the Skins', I remain cautiously optimistic.

Everyone is 0-0 at this point. Let's get the preseason going, and see what happens.
