Thanks farid, I don't know about blogging because I don't believe i'll attract an audience in this day and age where everyone is too busy. I may practice writing articles for my own sake though! Thanks buddy.

The Italian hand sign for "WHAT THE FUCK?"
Oh I agree with you that he isn't perfect and he's certainly duffed up once or twice this season, but its not a criticism that he's going to finish sixth behind the clubs I mentioned. It's a great achievement really.
FADY
Salazar and Arnie are certainly more well spoken than I so hopefully they can chip in (and an awful lot of posters in FootyGAF really), but yeah the majority of sports writers have no career in football to speak of besides Sunday League bollocks. Punditry is a bit harder because people on the telly want to see old players talking just like people will want to go see a Tom Cruise movie over a foreign one or whatever, but there's some fantastic journalists in papers like the Times, the Guardian et al that were never players. Barney Ronay from the Guardian especially is a brilliant writer with a relatively unique writing style; if you can find his Thomas Muller article from recently, it was fantastic.
I'm assuming you have a better vocabulary in your first language than English (but your English is also great going by here), so if there is a pathway into sports writing/commentating etc., I'd say go for it. Just reading, watching, exploring the news sites have all led to me learning new words and new things I didn't know before, and not just about football.

go home pappe, ur drunk
I'm thinking of starting a blog about football this summer; probably won't be well read but I'll at least get to write. Maybe could ask some of you cunts interested in different leagues and subjects to write for me and make it a bit more unique than "Man United fan cries over Fergie".
Was also going to email the local non-league club (Sutton United, Blue Square South) and maybe see if - assuming I pay for the games and travel and whatnot myself - I could grab a few interviews with players and managers over the course of the season, but I'm not too sure how to go about that as of yet.

Perfectly summarising Bremen's season.

LOL Sleepless I just noticed my avatar is a part of yours!
Thanks a lot Wil. I bookmarked that article about Mueller. Will give it a good read! My first language is English btw, and I don't even feel like I'm that good at it when I read such amazing articles! Thanks for the words of encouragement though bro, much appreciated!
No reads my blog) but I keep writing it for the sake of it. To get my English proficiency just right and to have this mental skill of putting my thoughts down as they are with a bit of flair and organisation.

That's a great thing farid, keep it up bro. Writing for the sake of writing should definitely strengthen your ability; why don't you pass it around to family and friends and get their opinion?
Is this for real

Draxler signed a new contract until 2018.
We'll see him at Bayern next year if he's a cunt like Götze.

In Uruguay, dork is word used for affectionate tendencies.
isn't that the italian hand sign for everything?
Henry's yesterday's second goal. Sorry for size.
Motherfucker's still got it.
Fuck that. This shit didn't fly with the FA and it won't fly here.
4 games. 8 if used repeatedly.

He pulled a Brazilian and left Europe football when he still had it. Makes me so sad.

Haha
Please tell me the host is still mourinho
I wonder if Bayern will reach a point where they have too many players that deserve to start. I expect Gomez, Ribery and Robben to be off sometime in the next couple of seasons.
Thanks Willbury.
If anyone is intrested, here is my blog faridmon.blogspot.com
It may come as cheesy and emo during its start, as I tried to get my thoughts down, but hopefully I appear more mature as the entries keep being added to it

It's basically a can full of sugar. DONT
It's so bad you'll want to turn 360 degrees and throw it back.
Pepsi made with real sugar instead of corn syrup.
Well, FA is bunch of pricks. They Negreto is bannable offence, of course they will see this as something worse.
Nah, fucking YOLO.
Treat the idea that your kidney can develop stones as a fascinating byproduct of nature, not as a painfully debilitating curse.
Wow man that's deep. I've began to look upon severe genital warts in much the same way. How incredible is it that your penis can indeed look like a cauliflower?
Think we tried it before on Meus' blog and it flopped, but it was very much a spur of the moment, no thought has gone into this. I would primarily use it as a platform for my own writing even if no one else was interested. And like I say, I'll email fucking Sutton United (PL Champions 2019/20 on FM 11)
That's some John Cooper Clarke shit.
Yeah, I remember that. I thought it was a vanilla effort by him, he should two-triangled that, and wrote constantly so everyone else would be motivated enough to put something there.
Also, you guys are more than welcome to introduce any band we may not about in my blog.
If you ever write a football article let me know, would be more than happy to read it bro!
Two triangled that :lol
The longest-serving manager in Serie A currently is Napoli's Walter Mazzarri. He has held his post since October 2009.
In the 27 years since Ferguson took charge at Old Trafford, the Sicilian club have changed managers 44 times. More than half of those appointments have taken place since July 2002, when Maurizio Zamparini completed his takeover of the club.

I don't mind, I know nothing about music anymore though! faridmon.blogspot.com?
Denis the Menace at it again.
Man, Llorente is gonna fucking BEAST next year. I can feel it.
I would love for Chelsea's strikers to not feature on the top 10 or 20 if it meant we could win the title 2 years in a row.
Hey Fady,
If you really want to write about Football, you better get ready for a lot of hardship. Journalism in general is dying which makes a tough position to get into even harder. What is more, football in particular is going to be a crowded area. As others have said, you should just get writing straight away to have a chance at making something of it.
I mention this since my Uncle actually works for the Racing Post - not as a journalist - which is a Horse racing/betting paper in the UK. He actually gets asked to contribute articles every so often but despite being there for years he has not managed to parlay it into anything more than the occasional article.

Fady, forget football journalism and just start a fake ITK Twitter account ready for transfer muppetry season.
