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."

Roma Circling For Arsene’s £14M Rated Misfit

Roma are interested in signing Arsenal’s Marouane Chamakh in January, according to the Daily Star.

The 27-year-old, who signed from Bordeaux on a free last summer, has struggled to cement a regular first-team role at the Emirates despite making such a strong start to his Arsenal career in his debut season.

However, since the return of Robin van Persie last January, the Moroccan international has found it hard to acquire regular first-team football, scoring just 2 goals in his last 31 appearances for Arsenal, leaving Arsene Wenger reportedly ready to offload the striker in the January transfer window.

PSG, Bordeaux and Lille are among those reportedly interested in Chamakh.

With all the interest surrounding him and a lack of opportunities at Arsenal surely its time for him to look to a move elsewhere? Or do you think the Gunners need him? Let us know!
