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."

Another England Striker Joins Scandal List

The footballing world has been rocked to it’s very foundations.

Again.

In a week where reputations are being blown to pieces quicker than you can say, ‘The Sun has rustled up four more tarts‘, another reverred household name has been inducted to Soccer’s Hall Of Shame.

Legend Sir Stanley Matthews was formally charged with ‘conduct to the prejudice of good order and Air Force discipline’. The shady striker was apprehended flogging 5lbs of black market coffee out of a suitcase in Brussels. This under the sinister cover of playing for an Armed Services International XI.

When confronted, the Bryl Creamed brigand spilt more than coffee beans.

’I am guilty, I sold the coffee.’

Thanks to the Records Dept. of the Ministry of Defence and the Freedom of Information Act, the lid has been lifted yet again on the morally corrupt underbelly of the world’s favourite sport.

More sixty year old revelations as we get ‘em.
