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."

Italian Media Talking About A £34M Bid From The Bridge

According to Itasportpress, Chelsea have launched an audacious last-minute bid for Bayern Munich’s Frank Ribery.

It is no secret that Andre Villas-Boas is keen to add to his squad at Stamford Bridge, and with Roman Abramovich seemingly still happy to bankroll this mini-revolution at Chelsea, perhaps this bid should not come as such a suprise.

A long-time Chelsea target, even with the frequent managerial changes at the Bridge, Ribery has been a Bayern Munich player since 2007.

The winger has scored an impressive 32 goals in 101 appearances for the German giants, but Oligarch sized bid may prompt the Frenchman to accept terms with Chelsea.
