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."

Winner Of The Week vs. Wimp Of The Week

smoking_berbatov — Kool & The Gang. Innit?

The phrase, ‘a long time coming’ has perhaps never been so apt. Much cooing over the wisdom and guile of Sir Alex in the hat trick by the all too often out of form Bulgarian.

I would actually put his improvement down to Rooney’s car crash personal life rendering him half the player he used to be and Berbatov actually getting a proper run out.

If Berbatov can continue a pace like this, then Manchester United’s season could see a stark upturn in fortune. Oh, it might help if sir Alex applied some of his managerial magic to Darren Fletcher so he didn’t squirm out the way when someone kicks a big nasty hard and hurty wurty football at him.
