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."

Billy Wingrove vs Cristiano Ronaldo, Zlatan Ibrahimovic & Ronaldinho
Billy Wingrove’s name may well be familiar to many of you. Especially if you wondered who that chap with all the fancy kicks and tricks was at The Lane that time.
Billy is a professional freestyle footballer and has traveled the world, literally living the dream.
Arsenal made it four wins on the spin with Robin Van Persie scoring once again in a 3-0 win over West Brom at the Emirates Stadiumto stay within touching distance of the top four.
Gunners captain Van Persie was on hand to open the scoring mid way through the first half with his 28th goal in 27 Premier League games in 2011 before Thomas Vermaelen doubled the lead just before half time. Mikel Arteta made sure of the points after the break to give Arsene Wenger’s side their sixth win in eight games since they were thrashed 8-
Frank Lampard struck six minutes after half time at Ewood Park to secure their first win in two games and increase the pressure on Blackburn boss Steve Kean.
Lampard was on hand to head home Branislav Ivanovic’s clever cross and give the Blues a much needed victory after losing their previous two games.

Darren Bent delivered the perfect retort to his critics scoring twice as Aston Villawon for the first time in four Premier League games seeing off a spirited Norwich side at Villa Park.
The England striker had only three goals to his name and had been heavily criticised before the visit of Paul Lamberts side but he soon silenced his detractors scoring in each half to give Villa their first win since the beginning of October. They did find themselves behind to Anthony Pilkington’s superb free kick on 25 minutes before Bent levelled proceedings on the half hour mark. Gabriel
