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."

Liverpool Football Club

[video] Rodgers Delighted With Sahin, Bring On Norwich

A welcome moment of relief for Brendan Rodgers who has at last secured his first competitive win for the Reds since his appointment. His young, energetic and well disciplined side were probably worth more than a win by just one goal.

Rodgers made eleven changes from his team that faced Manchester United, as he knows he really has to start making an impact in the Premier League.

“We played with a young side and they showed a lot of character, especially to come back from 1-0 down and they did very well,” Sahin told the club’s official website.

“It was a good night for the club and I was happy to see the young players get their chance and show what they can do. I was impressed with Jack Robinson who did well at left-back but to be fair they all did very well.”

Sahin is extremely likely to get only his second Premier League start since joining the club, as Liverpool travel to Norwich this weekend.
