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."

What Was Andy Carroll Saying To Wayne Rooney?

To be honest, this is more of a, ‘What were they secretly thinking?’ competition.

It’s the end of the season, so Premier League footballers are going on extravagant holidays to far-flung parts of the world before pre-season training gets going. It appears that rivalries between players and their teams during the season are forgotten in the summer, as here’s Manchester United’s Wayne Rooney and Liverpool’s Andy Carroll sunning themselves in Barbados.

It’s been a busy time for Rooney, what with having a hair transplant (notice he’s not showing it off). The pair were spotted doing karaoke and no doubt enjoying a few drinks on their break and were all smiles, well sort of.

Come the start of the season you won’t spot Man United and Liverpool players in such friendly company, but can you come up with a funny caption for their holiday snap?
