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."

Mesut Ozil Spotted At The Airport

The name very firmly in the Transfer Tavern’s frame earlier today (no drinks or cigarettes over the table, please) has been spotted landing in the UK.

At Manchester Airport…

The source is a chap by the name of Cheltenham Red on top United forum Red Cafe.

The Tavern knows that David Gill is minding the shop whilst Sir Alex is away and it is Gill that oversees this end of the business anyway.

If this pans to amount to anything, then it will be a body blow for many big clubs. Specifically Tottenham and perhaps to a lesser extent, Aresnal. Both sides would have regarded the capture of this player as quite a coup.
