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.

What’s Gary Cook Up To In Argentina?

Word just in from our man in the baggage handling department at an airport we simply cannot name.

Manchester City supremo Gary Cook has flown out to Argentina in an effort to strike a deal that could shake the very foundations of the footballing world as we know it.

His target is a chap by the name of Lionel Messi.

We’d love this to be true. Passed on in good faith, etc etc…
