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."

New Loan Option Emerges For Jonathan Woodgate

Tottenham’s Carling Cup winning Jonathan Woodgate played in a friendly against QPR yesterday.

Harry Redknapp was quoted saying he’d never seen so many scouts at a practise match.

John Cross of The Mirror suggested on the Alan Brazil Breakfast Show on Talksport this morning that QPR could well be the favoured Championship side to step in and offer Woodgate a part season loan in which to rehabilitate himself before returning to the Premiership.

Previously Cardiff and Leeds were mentioned but there’s little doubt that Neil Warnock would be an admirable baby sitter in lieu of Harry.
