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."

Hansen Spot On About The New Liverpool

Liverpool legend Alan Hansen believes the Reds are not far off Manchester City in terms of quality and can bridge the gap with a few decent signings in the summer. He told LFC Weekly:

“You don’t necessarily look at their players and think that they are brilliant, but they have spent £15-25m on squad players. That gives them strength in depth. If you look at the players who are on their bench and who don’t make their bench and have been loaned out – such as (Emmanuel) Adebayor, (Craig) Bellamy, (Roque) Santa Cruz and (Wayne) Bridge – it emphasises how much they have spent to build their squad. Realistically we need to get closer to them sooner rather than later and that means this summer will be particularly important for Liverpool. We’re not a million miles away from Man City. The way we can bridge the gap is by bringing in the right players with the right qualities this summer.”
