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. His pithy words and abrasive style make him as famous off the pitch as he is on it. This man is Escapini. "I love football. Football she's a cruel mistress. She's, she's more than a mistress. 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. She can bring a kettle to the boil." "Cause football is about nothing, unless it's about something and what it is about, is football."

Steven Gerrard – Enquires Being Made

‘I guarantee an ‘ITK’ will link us with him soon. We’ve [Tottenham] have made enquiries apparently. I’d say don’t shoot the messenger, but flip it, if you can find me, shoot away.

Gerrard very likely to leave. He is apparently taking a very English attitude towards potentially playing abroad and won’t go to Chelski or United. The smart money would be on Man Citeh but we’re in play now and I am told have already registered our interest.

Obviously largely the reaction I expected. What I will say, is that to post this knowing I would be ridiculed, should suggest I trust the person who told me. I have not said we’re signing him. But we are going to try. Seriously.’
This from a member of the Spurs Odyssey private members board; Ari Gold, who’s information I am advised is generally speaking rather reliable.

Oh my, we are in for a long window.
