  • Write for WSA

  • Do you have the urge to write about your favourite football team, the Premier League or just football in general?

    If so and you would like your article published on this site please use the “Contact WSA” link at the top of the page and let us know about your idea.

    Posts should be between 400-600 words long and all articles will be given fair consideration.

    Unlike the majority of other sites we will perform spelling and grammar checks for you so no need to worry about how your post looks, it’s quality of content that counts.

    Also, unlike the majority of other sites, we don’t suggest that you will be writing for The Guardian or ESPN in the near future. Your articles will, however, be read by thousands of others so who knows what may happen?

    What are you waiting for? There’s nothing to lose and a reputation to gain. Contact WSA now!
