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."

Arsenal Football Club

All 4 Goals [Carling Cup Highlights]

At last something for Arsenal fans to be happyabout. Even if it was only Shrewsbury.

Collins scored with a pretty classy flick header after the visitors had weathered some close calls from Arsenal. Gibbs replied and the gloating Arsenal haters probably realised at this stage the Gunners had more up their sleeve.

Chamberlain was refreshing fare from Arsenal. A well struck ball from well outside the penalty area made it 2-1. Benayoun finished off any remote thoughts of giant killing with the third.

Whilst they won, Arsenal were not really tested defensively and it goes without saying that whilst they should be cheered by this win, their real demons await them in the Premiership
