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."

AC Milan Interest Steps Up €14M Saga

Italian newspaper Leggo are reporting that AC Milan have entered the running for Liverpool midfielder Alberto Aquilani. Juventus have an option to buy the Italian for £13.5million when his loan finishes at the end of the season, but they are hesitant to pay the full asking price, and Milan could steal a march on their Italian rivals.

Milan see Aquilani as an ideal replacement for Andrea Pirlo, who is coincidentally a free transfer target for Juve, and Milan chiefs are ready to open a dialogue with Liverpool over a possible transfer. The Italian club also believe they can rid Aquilani of his injury problems for good with their state of the art sports science research department, the MilanLab.
