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."

The Greatest Goal Celebrations. Ever. Well 5 Fab Ones, Anyway…

Celebrating a goal can be a unforgiving business. You get the damn thing in the back of the net and suddenly all the cameras are pointed straight at you. The moments following the goal are often as remembered as the goal itself.

Some opt to reveal a previously concealed message on their undergarments. ‘Hello Mum’, ‘Free Charlie Bronson’, ‘Eat More Fruit’, that sort of thing.

Corner flags become microphones, punchbags and even dancing partners.
