I have been a Manchester United fan for a very long time (since my teen years, the late age of Cantona, the early years of Beckham). As a fan, I try to watch every match and read reaction in the press for the next couple of hours. Besides sports pages of the mainstream British newspapers - the Guardian, first of all, but also the Telegraph, and occasionally, the Independent and the Times - I have been reading blogs dedicated to the club and written by lifelong fans as myself. The best ManU blogs I read are the Republik of Mancunia, A kick in the grass, and the United Rant.
I like reading about football and writing about it is also interesting to me. I could even say that this is a topic that excites and inspires me. So yesterday, after the historical win over the nouveau riches from the Blue Moon, I thought - maybe I should being writing an MU blog? This blog would not be something as regular and "professional" as the abovementioned three, but I would still have a place to let out my thoughts on my club and on football in general.
The idea seems very exciting and I am even thinking to write to one of the more experienced MU bloggers asking advice. The only problem is that the blog will not come any time soon because of my hectic schedule - I am registered for a GRE exam on Nov 8 and there is all this fuss with applications, so I won't be free enough until early next year. Until that, I will get myself ready for the blog.
