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."

Enquiries Made For French Striker

The man neither Liverpool or Stoke wanted. Not the hottest introduction you’ll ever see a potential signing ever given, but we may as well call it as it is.

Loic Remy is the boy. He’s 23 and plays for Nice. A decent enough scoring record and for those who are of such a disposition I would imagine there are yards of YouTubage available demonstrating the very moment he overtook sliced bread in The Best Thing Stakes.

How much would he cost? Probably about £10 million. I find the idea pretty unappealing. There is a suggestion this as part of UK roadshow which may yet include more suitors than just Stoke and ourselves.

Word is filtering out that Craig Bellamy is still in the frame.

Let’s please hope so.
