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."

Fabio Shuffles The Spurs Boys In His Deck

Talksport are reporting that Aaron Lennon will be dropped from Capello’s starting line up against Slovenia tomorrow.

This is no shock to me. Fabio’s clearly bonkers and it was obviously him that instructed the Tottenham winger to play in such a muted manner against the Algerians. Lennon in the ordinary course of events at White Hart Lane doesn’t get the ball, run a bit and cut in or cut the ball back. That’s a Walcott tactic.

Mind you, this is the same guy that refuses to play Rooney up front on his own.

Coming in will be Jermain Defoe in the place of Emile Heskey. Let’s hope he gets some service. By service I mean decent balls to his feet that he can run onto. Oh no, that probably won’t happen. I forgot to mention that James Milner is the man replacing Lennon.

Upson is tipped to replace bad boy Jamie Carragher.
