No offense taken, NY, and I truly appreciate your kind words.
I don't think any writer undertakes his work with the pretense that his work will somehow alter the course of his subject matter. The motivation for most writers who are passionate about what they do is a compulsive desire to seek out the truth on a subject, to distill it and express it in words. Often we're way off base, but hopefully sometimes, we strike upon and expose a small nugget of truth.
My compulsion to write and seek out the truth is equalled by my thirst for knowledge of the game I love. I never feel as if I know enough about the game and its intricacies, and so I'm constantly driven to learn more, to glean as much knowledge as possible from as many sources as possible. That's what makes forums such as this so fantastic for people like me. Quite simply, it's a nexus of football knowledge...
...and I'm
not being facetious!
