Well now, when it comes to football, one man has for many years been the most noticeable, the most controversial, and occasionally the most successful blogger this country has ever produced.

She's a wife, she's a mother, she's a daughter, she's an errant child. She's a… she's a… she can make you laugh, she make you cry. She can bring tears me eyes. She can bring blood to me shoulders.

£13.5M Won’t Deter A Deal Being Struck

Italian newspaper Leggo is reporting that Juventus are still confident of signing on loan Liverpool midfielder Alberto Aquilani on a permanent deal.

The paper reports however that Juve General Manager Giuseppe Marotta is confident a deal can go through and he wants more talks with Liverpool over reducing the asking price for the player.
