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 Likely To Be Priced Out Of £35M Argentinian Transfer

Arsenal and Chelsea have been put on alert with the news that Paris Saint Germain star Javier Pastore wants to play for a bigger club.

The Argentine playmaker only joined the French outfit last summer from Palermo for a reported fee of around £35m. However, the ambitious 22-year-old already has his eyes set on challenge.

“I train with great conviction in order to realise my dream of playing with a big team,”

Pastore told the French press.

“If I want a team bigger than PSG to contact me, then it depends on me.”

While Arsenal and Chelsea would definitely be interested in a player of Pastore’s quality, the fee required to persuade PSG to sell is likely to be too great.
