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 Cheated – Match Balls Were Sabotaged [video evidence]

The footballing universe was shaken to it’s core late last night.

As the euphoria of victorious Arsenal fans still echoed around the globe at their teams comprehensive win over ‘the best team in the world’, footage has emerged that puts an unpleasant spin on the win.

Lionel Messi failed to live up to his reputation and only now do we know, why.

The tape has been submitted by The Tavern to UEFA and sent to them in one of those bubble envelopes you can get from Poundland in a three for a pound deal.

Whilst the footage does not show who was ultimately responsible, it has been suggested by eyewitnesses that it was Bendtner attempting a pass to Nasri in the warm up.

Ball tampering is a crime.
