Football365.com, or simply F365, is a website which is operated by 365 Media Group: a wholly-owned subsidiary of BSkyB from its bases in both Leeds and Cape Town.
The website primarily covers the Premier League, as well as other European leagues and cups.
It takes an informal and humorous approach to dealing with the latest football news.
Their mailbox feature regularly publishes e-mails that have views on football.
The site was founded in 1997 by journalist Danny Kelly, along with Dan Thompson and Simon Morris, a former Marketing Director of BSkyB.
In 1999, the height of the dot-com bubble, the sites' parent company 365 Corporation floated on the London Stock Exchange, peaking at a value of £500 million shortly after launch.
I enjoy using this website as it gains its information from sources all over the world, formal and informal. In particular, it as a daily article called 'mediawatch', where it publishes all of the news from Television and newspaper reports, some informal. It is also one of the first news outlets to publish breaking stories such as England's World Cup squad in 2010. It also allows me to keep up to date with my favourite football team, and gives links to other types of media concerning football, such as the magasine FourFourTwo and it's page on Facebook. It also links in advertisements that relate to football. For example, as of March 2011, an advert with a Premiership footballer is at the top, designed by Umbro. Along the side and lower down the home page are forums, e-mail sections and links to betting sites.
