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."

[video] David Moyes On Injuries Ahead Of Newcastle Tie

Everton midfielder Darron Gibson will be out for another two to three weeks with a thigh strain, manager David Moyes has confirmed.

The 24-year-old sustained the injury in the Toffees’ most recent Premier League game, a 2-0 defeat at West Brom on 1 September.

Moyes said: “It is a concern for me because he has been very consistent and very good.”
“It is a blow but we will have to find ways of getting around it,” he added.

Gibson recently ruled himself out of selection for the Republic of Ireland’s World Cup qualifier with Kazakhstan.

The player told boss Giovanni Trapattoni he was disappointed with his limited role during Euro 2012.
Moyes reported no other problems from players coming back from the international break ahead of Monday’s visit of Newcastle.
