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."

Tottenham Target Man With Moustache

Word is just in from our Tottenham monitoring man in a Greasy Spoon near Enfield on his seventh cup of tea and seventeenth Regal this morning, is that George Owu has just completed a short trial period with the boys from White Hart Lane.

George Ooo? I hear you cry as one. A household name in downtown Ghana, a legend in his own lounge suit in the enlightened parts of Egypt. No, I’ve never heard of him either. But Tottenham fans could well get to know him soon.

I can reveal that he sports a moustache.

Given Gomes’ goatee at Elland Road on Wednesday night, this could be a preemptive strike by the Brazilian to demonstrate to Tottenham supremo Redknapp that if it comes down to a facial ‘Hair Off’, then he’s ready to battle it out.

The respected IM Scouting website recently carried a comment on the Ghanian goalie saying that he ‘occasionally lacks concentration’.

He’ll fit in well at Tottenham who’s latin motto translates as Dare To Fail.
