Left Out NCJ (Chief Editor & Show Host)

Only known Spurs fan in India, swears he has stood by them since Ginola days.  Indulged in a number of sporting pursuits, but earned most fame playing hostel football. Never felt he was part of the game at the bigger stage, but feels that it gets explained by his playing position: Left Out.

 

 

Grappo Rajeev (Contributor & Show Co-Host)

Craves for the addictive street cricket matches; where he claims to be the automatic pick for all teams within a 5 KM radius. Makes up  by reading every Cricinfo article 19 times; can narrate a 5 year old piece verbatim. Uses analytical models to pick fantasy teams; considers it the most useful application of his professional know-how.

 

Arsenik Rai (Contributor & India Correspondent)

A hard core Gunner tragic; he feels the ups and downs in his own life are directly co-related to his favorite team’s form. His own footballing skills can be seen occasionally, when he manages to beat his toughest adversary: sloth.

Blue Faithful Subhro (Contributor)

He is an eventuality of an anomaly called the well-informed football fanatic who, despite the efforts of many a rival fan, continues to regurgitate football, cricket and tennis articles at a prolific rate and mathematical precision. Presently residing in Mumbai, he loves Lampard and Nadal to death and the Blue colored part of his wardrobe would put any Chelsea fan in the world to shame.

 

Red Devil Kunal (Contributor)

The wanderer, who swears by all things Manchester United, follows a lot of sports, everything no-cricket. The words “Shuffle Up and Deal” are music to his ears. Loves to weave ideas on how cultures are linked to the way countries play sport. Occasional footballer, whose left foot is the stuff of legend, because tales of legend, and the left foot hitting the ball, occur at about the same frequency

Raconteur Rashmish (Cricket Analyst)

Tried his hands at various sports; so seriously that broke his left on his cricketing debut. Avenged this ignominy by indulging in the best mind sport – theoretical physics. Loves to point out that this discipline is one for the sporting buffs – there are so many fields to play with. Presently in a land beyond seven seas, far from the cricketing world, indulges occasionally in tennis and frequently in reporting humor on field.

Non Rocket Yao (Taiwanese Sports Analyst)

Is the only known fan of both the Red Sox and the Yankees(other thanMayor Giuliani). This doesn’t stop him from constantly whining about how Taiwanese people neglect TML for MLB.

Vanilla Face Serkan (Turkish Football Analyst)

Lives near Istanbul, and is a feverish Fenerbahçeliler. He firmly believes in two facts:

  1. All English football is over-rated
  2. Fenerbahçe vs Galatasaray is the mother of all derbies.

He also knows more about the personal lives of Okur and Türkoğlu, than any grown up man would admit.

 

Fanboy SomP (La Liga Analyst)

Lives in Raleigh, and is disturbed by both hot NC summers, and the evil empire that Real Madrid is building up. An off again, on again NBA fan, he follows whichever team AI happens to land on.
