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."

Now Lazio Named As Destination For Unsettled City Striker

Il Corriere dello Sport are reporting this morning that Emmanuel Adebayor could well be Lazio bound this summer.

Ade appears to be surplus to requirements at Real Madrid as well as Eastlands but the light at the end of the tunnel could well be shining from Italy. The story runs that the payment schedule for Kolarov has yet to be completed and €15million’s worth of Togo front-man could act as closure to two deals in one.

In the Premiership, Adebayor could probably walk into a number of sides, particularly Tottenham but this is never going to be sanctioned as per the Craig Bellamy situation.

Chin up Ade, whatever your sins in a previous life were, at least you aren’t being sent to Cardiff.
