Hello all, My name is Peter. I live in the metro Phoenix Arizona area, 5th largest city in the US with no pro soccer team at any level. I've been blogging for a few years, first as a contributor on www.majorleaguesoccertalk.com as Peter C, then since Jan 2010 on my own site, www.OverLappingRun.com. I never played the game, but it has easily become my primary sporting interest since 2003. Love the athleticism and global nature of the game. With so many good writers in the states, my posts are mainly about attendance in MLS and soccer finances, brought about by my figuring out how Phoenix can go about having a team that can join MLS. I use WordPress. Twitter: www.twitter.com/SoccerTwit

Hi I'm Jon and I'm trying to build my blog up - but as prevarication is my middle name I update it a lot less than I intend to - and when I do update it I end up writing a lot more than I intended to! I'm a Royals supporter and quite active on Twitter - and also quite actively involved in the FSF. That's another obstacle to me blogging as much as I'd like (apart from my own lack of self-discipline) - it's sometimes hard to remember what I can actually put into the public domain and what I know that isn't for sharing with the world, and it's hard to blog on some subjects in this sort of circumstance. www.twitter.com/urzz1871www.endtoendstuff.net

Hello all, I'm William Abbs (and also @williamabbs on Twitter). Towards the end of 2009 I started a blog about football to give myself something to do after university and - in the words of Alan Partridge, when he was still doing work for Amstrad and Findus - it's just snowballed from there. Anyway, you can find it at sahafromthemaddingcrowd.blogspot.com. I tend to use it as a depository for the articles I write for other sites, which I hope is acceptable. Lanterne Rouge from the Two Unfortunates has been particularly supportive of my writing lately, so I'd like to use this platform (well, text box) to thank him. Ian from 200% has been a help too, although I haven't submitted for a while. I'm also doing a PhD on football writing (maybe should've said that first). I'll come in again...

Hi all! I'm Sarah and a newbie to the world of football blogging, started about a month or so ago but going really well so far. I like to think I'm rather unique in someway, my blog is a lower league football blog from the perspective of a female fan. You'll find me over at girlonaterrace.blogspot.com and also on Twitter lots girlonaterraceI'm a Rochdale fan for my sins, home and pretty much every away game and have so for plenty of years. I studied Journalism at uni a few years ago, and now I work in seo, blogging and social media.

Hi, my name's Liam and I run the Killer Pass blog (http://killerpass.wordpress.com/). I've also written for various other sites including In Bed With Maradona and Back Page Football. I started my own blog as somewhere to practice my own writing and to upload articles when I couldn't be bothered to wait for another site to say yes or no. I blog as often as I can think of something worthwhile to write.
I'm at Oxford University and doing my finals in May/June.

Hi, Just read the post on footysphere and thought I'd best come on here and introduce myself. My site is www.regista-blog.comDon't be fooled by the name, it's not an Italian blog. I'm a third generation anglo-italian, so I have an interest in calcio, but I write more about English football. I'm a London based blogger (Finsbury Park to be precise - gooner territory), but I'm originally from Hertfordshire and support Watford FC. The blog is for my spare time, evenings and weekends. I've been really impressed by the quality of the other blogs out there, and I think this forum is great idea. Thanks, Michael.

Hi My name is Sue and I am a Pompey fan. (Not sure whether to be embarrassed or to cry at this point) I write as S J Maskell. I blog on www.pompeyonline.com/ and the Pompey page of Shoot! www.shoot.co.ukI was pleased to have my first article on Twohundredpercent this week. At Pompey we have appreciated the highlighting of our 'plight' (or blight) on here. I have learned a great deal about football finances, moneylaundering, layering companies, insolvency law, the High Court, International gun runners, Israeli business practices, football governance, company law, media spin, tax law, Angolan politics, Russian politics ..... You get the picture. Sometimes I get to write about football. I have a great interest in SD Social Value of Football research (being a social science/education researcher as well as writer) and will be following the current government enquiry with interest. Time to give football back to the fans. I will also be putting most of my stuff on my blog for reference (when I get time) sjmaskell.blogspot.com/ (this is new) Also on Twitter and Facebook as Sj Maskell

Hello everyone, my name is Paul. I live in Cleethorpes and I'm a Leicester City supporter. My blog is Reynard's Hunting Grounds which records my travels around the NCEL and beyond. I started because I wanted to do something with my photos of the grounds I'd visited. Most of the games I go to now are in the Non League and I'm really enjoying getting back to the roots of football.
