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."

Breaking News – Statement On Tevez Expected This Evening

Carlos Tevez, according to Talksport, will be the subject of press announcement this evening.

Tevez is thought to have kicked his last ball for Manchester City.

Neil Ashton who broke the story in The News Of The World has come in for a whirlwind of anger and abuse from City fans who somehow believe that the journalist ‘invented’ the whole story.

Tevez is understood to miss his two daughters and this has more bearing on his possible departure than any ‘bust up’s with Mancini or fellow players.

We shall just have to wait and see. What is certain is that City have plenty of money to replace him, but can they whistle up a player of such drive and such proven Premiership goalscoring ability?
