Welcome to There's No Loyalty in Football

Welcome to one of the many sports blogs that spring up every day. This blog is mainly going to focus on current events in the world of football (or soccer to all my international readers) but will also hopefully contain bits and bobs from other sports.

I'm a passionate Crystal Palace fan and despite currently residing in Bristol, I have managed to attend all but one of our league games so far and am planning to keep up my run of good form. Sadly for most of you, this blog is going to be mainly based on Crystal Palace news as after spending a year abroad in both Spain and Brazil, I've only really had time to keep up to date with Palace news. However, after a few weeks of  Match of the Day, I'm sure I'll be up to date in no time and not only pondering matters about Palace.

I'm currently in my final year at university studying Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Bristol.
While everyone else is attending career events, wondering which international marketing superpower grad-scheme they're going to apply for I've been at Wolves away watching the Eagles mount an inspired comeback led by one of our treasured academy products. Although the academic year has only just started, with all this careers talk, I've realised that if sport isn't somehow not part of my job then I'm probably not going to lead a very fulfilled life. Hence the blog and hopefully the start of a budding career in sports journalism, fingers crossed anyways and I'm hoping that I don't just give up after 2 weeks!

The name of the blog is a fairly depressing one, but then again following a football team can give you lows as well as highs. The reason behind it is that our manager, club legend Dougie Freedman, who has led us to within 2 points of the top of the Championship, has just been allowed to enter into talks about the vacant managerial spot at the Reebok.

Dougie claimed only a few days ago that he wasn't the sort of person who leaves a job half done and his love for the club cannot be questioned. Tomorrow we'll know more about the subject but for the moment, there will be many Palace fans praying that the man, who's saved us plenty of times before, doesn't ditch us and prove the name of this blog right.

Please Dougie...stay!
