Steven's Bio

If you enjoy my views or my writing, please consider becoming a fan! (button's right above this sentence)

I discovered Bleacher Report on July 1st 2008.

Since joining, I've only become a bigger and bigger fan of the site. The community is fantastic (I love exchanging ideas with 'thinking fans'). I'd seriously encourage anyone with a sports opinion to join in the fun.

I love football, tennis, and snooker (sadly not part of b/r). I’m more knowledgeable about football than tennis, snooker than football, and snooker than tennis (that's Snooker>Football>Tennis!). But I'm most passionate about my first love, football.

I've supported Man United since I was about 8, after watching the Manchester Derby, where Ryan Giggs also became my favourite Man United player.

Today, I've become one of United's most critical 'fans'. In any match they play I always want United to win, but I won't hold my tongue if I think they weren’t the better team. I still love my childhood club passionately, but I also want the best team to win. As a netural fan, I'll even support both teams in the same match, if I think they're playing a high standard of football.

My greatest annoyance and dislike in football is Cristiano Ronaldo. Here's a summary of why: he's a disgrace to my beloved Manchester United and, undoubtedly, the worst cheater I've ever known in football. Worst still, I've yet to see even ONE outstanding performance from him. I believe great team play, opposition ineptitude, and cheating, are responsible for most of his goals.

Back on a less hostile note, whilst Giggs is my favourite Man U player, Zinedine Zidane is my favourite player, period. To have a collection of all the matches Zidane played in his awe inspiring career (all 610 of them) would be a small dream come true. Right now, I don't know what matches I'm missing, but one day, I'll index the ones I have so far. (Any hard-to-find videos or highlights of Zidane would be gratefully received.)

I'm the first one to admit that I'm not the most eloquent writer and I don't possess a massive vocabulary. But what I do have are strong, honest opinions and like all fans I always think I'm right! =p I disagree with most 'experts' and critics but I believe that's only cos I try to not to get swayed by the rubbish in the media.

Ultimately, I'm on b/r for two reasons. One, to publish my opinion, as a passionate sports fan, and two, to improve my writing skills. My goal is to try to always "say what I mean", eloquently. I hope the b/r community will help me with that.

All in all, what you'll get with me is someone who will stay passionately true to their views, whilst still keeping an open mind.
