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.

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."

Tweets Of The Week

The Twitter Report – your weekly update on what footballers are talking about on Twitter. This week’s stars are ex-Chelsea and Leeds defender Michael Duberry, Rangers midfielder Maurice Edu and Crystal Palace‘s Wilfried Zaha, and each have their own ramblings.

Now at Oxford United, Duberry seems to have turned to philosophy and is quoting the likes of Socrates and Plato, but they won’t stop him scoring own goals! Up in the SPL, Edu is talking favourably about leaders. Isn’t David Weir Rangers’ captain. And last but not least, well probably least, Zaha takes on the role of Charlie Brooker and tells us what he thinks about what’s on the box. Apparently he watches EastEnders and Big Brother.
