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."

Arsene & Kenny Scouting London Goal Machine

Arsenal and Liverpool are believed to be tracking the progress of Crystal Palace youngster Wilfried Zaha.

The 18-year-old striker has reportedly been watched on several occasions by scouts from Arsenal and Liverpool with both Premier League clubs impressed with what they have seen so far.

However, both sides are not expected to make any type of move for the teenager until next summer at the earliest with the clubs recognising the importance of Zaha’s development at Palace.

Zaha has appeared in all of Palace’s matches this season, scoring twice in a victory over Crawley Town in the Carling Cup.
