Hi I'm from Southampton in England. I believe in high-quality, well structured journalism that doesn't revolve around what's already out there. I have many opinions to share and contribute a lot of research to the game. My passions are football, writing, and technology. My name is Christian Bird, and I am a volunteer for Fansided Soccer.
