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."

Sir Alex Preferred Michael Owen To Real & Shalke Sensation…

Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted that he came close to signing Raul, but backed out of the deal because he had Michael Owen at the club, according to reports in The People.

Sir Alex stated that “We spoke to his agent or his agent spoke to us but we had Michael Owen as an experienced player, Berbatov, Rooney and we had just signed Chicharito, so we let it pass.”

“If we hadn’t had Michael Owen I would have been tempted because you say to yourself ‘he’s not too old that he can’t score a goal in the Premier League’.

Manchester United will come up the one time transfer target in the Champions’ League when they play Schalke04 and will hope Raul doesn’t break United’s hearts as he has done previously.
