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."

Deal Imminent, ‘He’ll Be In Europe Next Year’ Says Agent

According to his agent, Arsenal and Liverpool are set to lose out on Peruvian youngster Andy Polo .

It was reported that both Arsenal and Liverpool were interested in the 17-year-old striker. However, it appears that two German sides, Hamburg and Shalke, are also amongst the clubs who are interested in the Peruvian’s services.

Andy Polo’s agent, Borja Gonzalez, said in a recent interview:

‘There are two clubs in Germany who are very interested in Andy and there is a very close agreement, in the next 48 hours they have to call me and tell me they want to do the deal.

If all goes well on Thursday or Friday we should be close. Andy Polo will play in Europe next year.’

In all honesty, I don’t see this as a huge loss to our club. He is only 17 and we still have enough quality ahead of this youngster, so I don’t see Arsene Wenger losing much, if any sleep over it.
