This time there are some "thoughts" about candles, beer, spells, despair, cavalry, disrespect, soldier, dad, superman, solar energy, Barbados, spanking, Libya ... and bad haircuts. In this department Arsenal is far superior to any club in the EPL. No doubt about that! Some of their players would easily get a role in a Star Trek episode. Without visiting make-up artists.
But firstly, let me explain what this blog is all about. As I wrote the last time: You won't find any detailed experts' analysis here. You won't find complete scoresheets either. But you'll find a good banter, juicy comments about the game, the clubs, the players, the refs, the goals ... Maybe you'll find some useful info/opinion for a football chat in your favourite bar ...
Namely, football is a global sport, so is English Premierleague. It is followed by a huge number of a-round-ball-loving enthusiasts, journos, players and managers themselves ... I hear football is also more and more popular in the US of soccer ... :)
And for all those reasons it's widely commented on Twitter. It is a very well known "fact" that tweeps possess a lot of football knowledge, common sense, cynicism, humour, love/hate relationships ... And, yes, even different kinds of stupidity occur ...
So, all the ingredients for the tasty soup of football opinion are there.
This is the "second edition". Here are some of the bits, which should shed some (different) light on the 2nd round of EPL. I thank all the tweeps for contributing ...
And, please, again, pardon my English ... I didn't have any lessons during the week ...
SUNDERLAND - NEWCASTLE UTD 0-1 (0-0)
jonawils
It's one win in 30 years for Sunderland at home to Newcastle now.
jimspc
Sunderland is down to 10 man. I told you Joey Barton FC can put a spell to ref to give red cards
lewisainslie
Sunderland are a disappointment. Oh well, time to get drunk.
ARSENAL - LIVERPOOL 0-2 (0-1)
MirrorFootball
Arsenal bring on Ignasi Miquel. Andy Carroll briefly excited as he mishears and thinks he's up against his favourite bottled Spanish lager
MirrorFootball
Great long-range effort from Frimpong. Perhaps that haircut is actually an aiming device?
TonyEvansTimes
One bad haircut off, one on. Still all even at Emirates
marcetuc
There was a young man called Frimpong, who's haircut went very wrong. He tackled too hard, got a red card....(fill in gap)!
piersmorgan
Oh great, here comes the cavalry: Bendtner. Light the candles.
MirrorFootball
Nice of the Arsenal players to take heat off Samir Nasri by ensuring they ALL get disrespected by the fans at the final whistle
ASTON VILLA - BLACKBURN 3-1 (2-0)
LordWilsonVILLA
Aston Villa 3 - 1 Blackburn FT- "We're on top of the world Ma"
rowner86
@Reidy_Update I don't understand. Blackburn lose again but they've got Super Steve Kean in charge. It just doesn't make sense.
homeless_turtle
How does it feel for blackburn, having played twice, being below spurs, who haven't yet played? #BBCFootball
EVERTON - QPR 0-1 (0-1)
chriswvtr
Can we finish the season now please, Liverpool champions, Everton relegated?
jessjcl
Are Everton just programmed to have terrible starts to the season?
abbiesykes_TW
Dad shouting cos everton lost, me: are they out of the league, dad: no its the start of the new season, me: huh?
robinja01
@jbaxter37 Six midfielders and no forwards with 30 mins to go and a goal down at home to QPR? WOW indeed.
SWANSEA - WIGAN 0-0
Spikey_Mikey_23
Still, we're off the mark. 3 points against sunderland please next saturday. Oh, and well done to the wigan fan who made the trip. Soldier!
CHELSEA - WBA 2-1 (0-1)
Johan_88
Do Chelsea have a new manager? It looks like the same system, same players and same mundane viewing. #cfc
Delano_718
See why I Would always support Chelsea FC on Chelsea's electronic billboard, Barbados was being advertised.. during WBA game :)
swilletts
#WBA this week and last, and 2 the fans who are saying "I'm proud of the performance" what's to be proud of? we lost points off our own back
DeanAJMaiden
While #WBA away kit seems to copy Bayern Munich, Bayern's new home kit is an ode to Stoke city!
NORWICH CITY - STOKE CITY 1-1 (1-0)
liverpooldeep
Brilliant. At Norwich match the stadium announcer said "5 minutes remaining" and the entire crowd replied "5??" ala Monty Python style.
Scottywashere
Kenwyne Jones just pissed Canary yellow all over The Canaries... Poor Norwich. #EPL
malvernzodiac
Norwich City 1, Stoke 1 .... eerrrr, can somebody check the accent of the referee?
WOLVERHAMPTON - FULHAM 2-0 (2-0)
MRiemen
Whats with the empty stand behind Schwartzer at Molineux? Bags on seats? Is that the traveling Fulham support?
RealMattyboy
Well bloody fulham let me down, 3 out of 4 correct for second week running. Gambling: The sure way of getting nothing from something.
OptaJoe
1 - Wolves are in first place in the top-flight for the first time since August 28 1973, after which they lost 5 successive games. History.
BOLTON - MANCHESTER CITY 2-3 (1-2)
sidlowe
Bolton fans booing Aguero are probably just making him feel at home. Sounds like the 'Kuuuuuuun' that used to ring round the Calderón.
MirrorFootball
Is this City kit just a ruse to convince Balotelli he already plays for AC Milan?
henrywinter
Do not adjust your sets.. It's true....Aguero has just missed a sitter
abeautifulnoise
Definition of optimism is the Solar Energy Company (#HanwhaSolar) that's advertising pitchside at the Bolton/ManCity game. It's Manchester!!
MANCHESTER UTD - TOTTENHAM 3-0 (0-0)
MirrorFootball
For those watching in HD, Harry Redknapp does NOT have a shredded wheat on his head
StuffMickSays
Enjoying the #mufc v #thfc game - real end-to-end stuff. There are more attacks here than on Gadaffi's compound.
RuKotecha
Giggs doesn't matter you've shagged everyone! We still love you!!! #MUFC :)
ameypv
I'm saying it again.Rooney after that hair transplant has gone all Curious Case of Benjamin Button.He's 18 again :D #MUFC
FachtnaK
Modric has been invisible for Spurs tonight. #mufc #thfc
adamwasere
