Hello and Welcome

This is the inaugural post for 'The Beautiful Game?' and you are lucky enough to be reading it. Whether you are a long suffering friend of Richard and/or Jo, or your search for attractive sports stars has has taken you wildly off course, I hope you will enjoy reading what we have to write. Without further-ado We welcome you into our e-home and shall make a couple of short introductions before we push on with the good stuff.

The Beautiful Game?

The intention with this blog is to debate the wonderful, frustrating and downright sexy world of Association Football (or Soccer if you will/must).
Initially we are offering up our own post mortem on the international festival of football that was World Cup 2010 in South Africa.
Then when the new season hits we will bring you a (roughly) weekly dose of our insights into what has gone down in and around the game. Being England based we will unashamedly be prioritising discussion of the Premier League, however at times we will delve into hot topics elsewhere and try to bring our own brand of rhetoric to the table.
So to put it short this will be the outlet of two people's mad ramblings about a game - and those two people are:

Richard

A life long Wolverhampton Wanderers fan, my main focus in this blog is to lay down a record of my teams exploits while the good times roll (because it surely can't last for ever).
The best player I saw at the Molineux last year - other than the entire Wolves team of course - was Carlos Tevez. Absolute dynamite in a Manchester City team that just ripped through the Wolves defence. I would not have bet against them at that point in the season last year and they will surely be a force this time out.
I have an innate hatred for the big teams - such as the Sky 4 - and I'm sure this prejudice will come out in my blogs.
I live in Birmingham and manage to get to a fair number of games; so I'll be looking forward to giving the full picture that you don't often get on highlights programmes.
This season I am mostly looking forward to the big derbies between Wolves and West Brom. A game that deserves to be played in the best league in the world.
