Since World Soccer are now starting to promote the forum more heavily in the new-look magazine, and we're getting more new posters here as a result, I thought it'd be nice to set up a thread in which new members can introduce themselves properly if they so wish. I'd like to suggest this to the admin people as a sticky topic, by the way. Of course, old members are also welcome to do so here, so we've got them all in one place. I'll start, to give people an idea of what to put...

I'm Sam, I'll be turning 23 soon and I'm currently living with my parents in Somerset, south-west England, to save some money, having graduated from Manchester University last year. My dream is to write for a living, and at the moment I'm doing a lot of football writing on the Argentine league for www.voiceoffootball.com (I'm Sam Kelly, if you want to look for my column in the sidebar) and for my own website, the link to which you'll find in my signature.

I'm a Manchester United supporter, and also stick up for Barcelona in Spain because I've got two half-Catalán cousins. In Argentina, my side are River Plate, since they're supported by the woman who introduced me to Argentina and its football, my now ex-girlfriend.

Aside from watching lots of football I read, write and listen to funk music.

Sam
