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."

Redknapp Went To Watch …City Target In Italy

Gianluca Di Marzio, Sky Sports journalist spotted Harry Redknapp in attendance during this weekend’s game between Atalanta and Palermo.

The Spurs supremo was said to be keeping tabs on Edinson Cavani and Simon Kjaer.

I’m unconvinced about the Cavani bit. That would slightly contradict what his agent said on the subject recently, ‘Now that the season has finished, he will go with Uruguay to the World Cup, and represent Palermo around the world,” Pierpaolo Turzi told Palermo24.net. Cavani is a Palermo player until 2014.This is my only certainty.’

However, the boy Kjaer might well be more on the cards.

Kjaer however is also supposedly on Roberto Mancini’s radar. But then one might ask – who isn’t? Prior to this previous interest in the player had been from Boro and Chelsea.
