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."

Levy ‘Was Smiling’ As Bale Bid Rejected From …Manchester Utd

daniel_levy — Sorry love, Bale's orf......

This window was, ‘a bit dull’, but it is certainly isn’t now.

Our man in N17 has just left The Tavern and it seems what he whispered in Busty Doreen’s ear wasn’t the usual, ‘The wife doesn’t understand me’ twaddle…

Rare for us at TT to reveal so much information in a headline, but frankly it’s not only your Friday night, it’s ours and we’ve plenty of empty glasses ahead of us too. With any luck….

‘They are unreal mate. The money I cannot tell you, I’m not that close, but all this David Gill b*ll*cks about them having finished shopping for this window? B*ll*cks mate. What I was told is an enquiry went in after Bale and the quote I got from my guy was unprintable for your site. Levy was strong with ’em and they went away.”
