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 Target €5M Rising Star

Manchester United are already making plans for left-back Patrice Evra’s understudy in Honduras and Celtic defender Emilio Izaguirre.

The 25 year old only joined the Scottish outfit last season but has made an impact both defensively and in an attacking capacity leaving the Old Trafford side little choice but to monitor his situation closely with the possibility of a move next summer.

Many had felt that a left back would be covered by Sir Alex Ferguson this summer however the record breaking manager has decided that there is already enough quality for this season with the likes of Evra and Jonny Evans, plus the Brazilian youngsters Fabio or Rafael also able to play in that positions.

His value will very much depend on his performances for Celtic this season but with Evra now at 30 years of age it is likely that a new left-back will be the focus of Manchester United’s scouting team throughout the remainder of 2011.
