    Feel free to drop in a post in this thread and tell everyone more about yourself. Not your website, YOU. Who are you? Where are you from? What do you do? Who do you support? Where do you live? What do you look like? Etc.

    Hopefully we can get to know each other and put a face to the thoughts and ideas that we share in this forum.

    I'll go first.

    Who are you: Ahmed Bilal.
    Where are you from: Pakistan. Currently living in Islamabad, like to travel but don't get as much of a chance to do so as I'd like to.
    What do you do: 1) I run Soccerlens which pays the bills, etc. You can learn more about that here. I used to be a consultant (marketing / business / showing people how to make more money) but find working for myself more fun. More about me here.
    Who do you support: Manchester United & England. United since 94, England since 2002.
    What do you look like: There's a photo of me here. Sideways and from a few years ago, but that'll have to do until I get something better (not a fan of the camera).
    Anything else: I like helping people, I like to travel and I like to chat about stuff that would cause most people headaches. An ideas person if you will.

    Who are you: Andrei Dobrogeanu
    How old are you: I am turning 18 next month
    Where are you from: I'm Romanian, but I have not lived there since 2000 when I moved to a place similar to paradise, Cyprus. I have since moved from Paradise to something closer to Antartica: Montreal, Canada.
    What do you do: I am a student and do almost nothing for money, although I will get a job this autumn.
    Who do you support: I am a big Manchester United supporter, I remember starting to like them when I found out that David Beckham wore the red jersey. At the national level I am torn between Holland and England.
    What do you look like: I am really shy of the camera, but, for a general image, just imagne an ordinary Russian lad and I am bound to look like him. I even have an accent which bugs me because people naturally assume I am Russian.
    Anything else: I like reading and listening to music and anything football. A bit of a nerd, I am afraid, but I am really cool with that because I like the people I hang out with and most of them are similar me.

    To give you a better idea about the kind of person I am, I have just bought a stereo sound system which includes a record player (I have yet to buy the records themselves). Just image Eric from 'That 70s Show' without all the drugs - yea, I watch Thet 70s show... :?

    Cue the Nani jokes...

    RQ - I do love Jazz and Blues, but that is not the reason I bought an LP player. I recently visited one of my friend's house and his father had just taken out the old record player and played some of his music and it just sounded incredile...

    I think he would rather be Afridi than Kuranyi. I mean who do girls in pakistan would want to shag more? Afridi or Kuranyi? It's a no brainer really.

    Hey guys, probably a good idea to setup a separate intro yourself subforum so we can give everyone more space to talk about themselves and for others to ask :) - will get that done later today.

    1) Height : 5 7

    2) Weight : Round about 45 kg, I think, not checked for a few months..!

    3) Physique : I'm what u wud call an ideal physique for a GK and CB...not too slim, and not anywhere fat..my skills wud be like Nani, my playing style is also like him, I like to keep touching the ball and keep my foot close to the ball, and my friends also say my playing style is like Nani...

    4) Position : At my school, I like to play winger or up front coz its mainly friendly stuff we play and u can show-off all u want..but in a good competitive match, like our society against another society, I play centre back or right back because I have good defensive instincts (I think :P ) and can track back quick too..and my great footballing knowledge and vision can also help when I get forward...

    5) Skills : Not really a great dribbler, lack confidence when facing physical, no-nonsense defenders :P but have a great footballing brain but I'm not good at long-range shooting or clearing the ball away emphatically...

    @RQ - AhmedShah's a bit young though, so you have to give him time to grow

    Here it is...........

    Who are you: Rhian Joseph

    Where are you from: Trinidad and Tobago…an island in the Caribbean …but I’d say I’m from the Caribbean cause I’m always moving between Islands

    What do you do I teach English but I want to be a writer…. And I’m working my way getting there.

    Who do you support: [Chelsea, Boca Juniors, Juventus] - my beloved teams in that order…these are the untouchables in my heart and soul.

    Werder Bremen …only because of Diego, Aston Villa because they built Dwight Yorke and they’re always a dark horse! (Yorke is from Trinidad if you didn’t know)

    I used to be a Real Madrid man but I dunno how I feel about them anymore.

    What do you look like: Dark athletic…used to play in domestic leagues here….not our top flight but quite competitive. Stopped when I got sick this year.

    How old are you: 29

    Anything else: I am the antagonist and will sometimes oppose you not because I disagree with what you say but simply to stir controversy. Getting married in a month! I do volunteer work in the Caribbean teaching remedial Engliish to youth who cannot afford schooling.

    Favorite ppl: Xerxes, Liversea, Glend6, ManUtdfan, Raed, Andrei, Duffy90, Ahmed Shah, Fosterfist, Bobo and Bilal - 2 allies, 1 neutral and 8 rivals!

    You don't win a silver medal, you lose the gold!
