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."

Prematch Predictions – Tottenham vs Wigan

Tottenham will be on a wee bit of a high, here, following their recent qualification for the Champions League group stages.

Wigan will be on a bit of a low, following hammerings at the hands of Blackpool and Chelsea. I don’t reckon it’s possible for Spurs to be so complacent as to drop points at home to a dire Wigan side who they thrashed, quite spectacularly, 9-1 in this fixture last season.

It’s all a bit gloomy in Wigan, where their best player, Charles N’Zogbia, looks set for a move to Birmingham, and Roberto Martinez has been made an early favourite to be the next Premiership manager to leave his post. I can’t see any repeat of last season; after all, they don’t have Erik Edman any more, but I can see a fairly comfortable win for Spurs, despite some early injury troubles.

My Prediction -Tottenham 3 Wigan 0
