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."

Juve Move In On £15M Comolli Target

The Hamburger Abendblatt are running with the story that Eljero Elia the 23 year old Hamburg man could be signing for Juventus.

The winger has attracted a modest amount of interest across Europe with Liverpool being seen as the front runners as far the Premiership are concerned.Elia had a bit of PR nightmare during the World Cup after he & Liverpool pal Ryan Babel played a computer game live on a webcam.

“I want to apologise to the Moroccan community but I am not a racist, I grew up in The Hague in a neighbourhood with 75% Moroccans and have a lot of friends among them. What I said was meant for a friend of mine, Reduan, who always calls me ‘negro’ … it sounds odd, but it is some slang.”

It could have been worse. Afterall his mum didn’t call his support ‘Dutch Scum’ on Facebook.

Eljero could expect to command a fee of £15M if he moves.
