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."

Old Trafford Scouts Monitoring Of European Duo Will Pay Dividends

Manchester United and Chelsea FC are paying close attention toBrazilian twins Alex and Anderson Santos da Vitória.

The youngsters, both aged 19, currently play for Dutch side Vitesse, with Alex at right back and Anderson at left back. In what looks to almost be a carbon copy of the Da Silva twins, Rafael and Fabio who currently play for Manchester United, it seems both Premiership sides could be monitoring the teenagers with a view to a move in the future.

Neither defender are yet to make full international level and it would therefore be tricky for either club to be able to bring them onboard for the time being due to work permit issues likely to arise.

They only just joined Vitesse from Flamengo this year and it is believed they will be monitored for some time before either Chelsea or United decide on making a serious move.
