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."

Manchester City Football Club

City Sign Super Mario

The Italians and specifically corrieredellosport are certain that an announcement will be made today in relation to the player.

‘The agreement was reached last night after a long meeting: Inter go 28 million plus bonuses linked to performance of the player and team results, to Supermario a five-year contract by 3.5 million plus a bonus will increase with the passing seasons. The player flew to England in the morning and will support a medical with his new club.’

The player himself was reported as saying, ‘ I can not wait to start.’

Quite amazing all this considered that this deal has been competed before thew Milner one, but then I guess City didn’t have to negotiate their way around a whining Martin O’Neill in at Inter.

Mario’s first game will be vs Liverpool on the 23rd.
