I am proud to announce that Christopher Harris and his team of bloggers running EPL Talk and associated websites have now joined our network, Football Media.

As some of you know, Football Media is undergoing some structural changes and we’re changing focus - moving away from the initial proposed role of tech support and towards a deeper level of cooperation and pooling resources together to help members succeed. In that regard Chris’s background and the standing of the ‘Talk’ family of footy blogs will be a great addition to the network.

Here’s a full list:

EPL Talk
Championship Talk
Champions League Talk
Major League Soccer Talk
La Liga Talk
Serie A Talk

And before anyone asks this (because I know Brian, Marco and RR are going to think about it), there is no conflict of interest if we have more than one site on the same subject in the network. Think of it this way - would you rather have the top two blogs on Serie A (or MLS) on your side or just focus on being the best? We already have two Manchester United blogs and I think that has gone fantastically well, with both Scott and Red Ranter offering different perspectives and levels of community.

This is just the start though - let’s hope we can all work together to make 2008 worthwhile for everyone (the bloggers and their readers) involved.
