FUNNY (?) TWITTER RECAP OF THE 6th ROUND OF ENGLISH PREMIERLEAGUE

And finally... There it is! Stoke proved to be a worthy opponent to mighty migthy ManUTD. Even more! If you send them to France they would change the history of art... Mona Lisa would become... errr... Male... Not that she was a beauty anyway...

Stoke also proved that big guys aren't passe... Crouchy's put as an evidence. Interbreeding is cool, they say. According to some tweets and regarding recent Arsenal games, even living on the same islands can help to steal some points of Manchester gang.

As I write about the Man-gang, I should mention the fact that's bothering Pirelli. "Should we or should we not use the pattern of Ballotelli's hairdo to win the Rallye of France..." they say (supposedly). Not to mention they could meet a bipolar bear in he future... And not because of the "El Nino"... It's purely Wenger's matter...

Talking of Wenger... Arsenal's women (What?!) are winning everything... Phew, they say at the Emirates... Also in this edition: Torres' two foot tackle, scouser karma, sober carroll, an Argentine shagging your wife, selling Wes Brown, Roy's consistency and more...

Now it's time to explain (again), what this blog is all about. As I wrote the last few times: 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 "sixth edition". Here are some of the bits, which should shed some (different) light on the 6th round of EPL. I thank all the tweeps for contributing...

MANCHESTER CITY - EVERTON 2-0 (0-0)

Great strike from Balotelli. Everton will have to change their super exciting 9 - 1 - 0 formation now.
JamesDallESPN
Alan Mullery on SSN: "Well that's a fantastic goal from Balotelli." Is it, Alan? Is it really? It took a massive deflection, Alan, you know?

ARSENAL - BOLTON 3-0 (0-0)
wengerknowsbest
Our win was a question of nerves, patience and intelligence. Once Bolton ran out of them, that gave us a chance.
arseblog
If Arsene Wenger got depressed would he be a bipolar bear?
AndrewOrsatti Andrew Orsatti
Finally some good news for Arsenal fans - the club's women's team have secured a domestic treble. What trophy drought?

CHELSEA - SWANSEA 4-1 (2-0)
JBcommentator
At least Torres half pulled out of making that challenge, otherwise they would have been picking bits of Gower's leg up on the Kings Road
feverpitch
Torres even missed a two footed tackle.
wellneyyarra
4 players got a red card today and Torres is the only one being talked about. Is his charm that irresistible? Understood.

On a scale of 0 to Torres, how bad are your weekends?

A year ago, LFC were 16th WBA were 6th, A year on and LFC are in 5th place whilst Roy's West Brom are occupying 19th position. Consistent.

Was just pointed out that Kenny Dalglish has outspent Hodgson 5-1 and only has 2 more points through 5 games.

WIGAN - TOTTENHAM 1-2 (0-2)

Wigan season ticket holders can buy an additional ticket for the Fulham match for £7.50. Bit harsh to have a deal open to just 24 people...

I wonder what the Spurs fans chant now..."Adebayor Adebayor, we're sorry for what we said, please score some more". I dunno.

QPR vs Villa was an advert for the game. By that I mean I wish I could have fast forwarded straight through it.

I really can't stand Neil Warnock and hope QPR go straight back down. Just thought everyone should know.

It's priceless that Richard Dunne was named man of the match seconds before he scored an own-goal. That's why they should wait 'til the end.

NORWICH CITY - SUNDERLAND 2-1 (1-0)

Wonder why Fergie sold Wes Brown? Wonder no more. 2-0 Norwich.

When you've got o'shea, wes brown, titus bramble and bendtner in the same team, you might aswell just give up and accept the defeat #safc

FUNNY (?) TWITTER RECAP OF THE 5th ROUND OF ENGLISH PREMIERLEAGUE

Ooooo, what a scary nickname "gunners" is! Those not following football might think this is a team which scares every opponent! The reality is they do not scare no one, even the white&blue chickens (although they're Venky's).

Before the match Blackburn fans protested and wanted Steve Kean to leave. Even the Arsenal fans sang he should get the sack. But in the end it was Arsene Wenger the one to be "keaned". Many of you have wanted the Frenchman's a(A)rse to be kicked at.

The reasons are obvious. Arsenal (aiming at the champions league places... oh, well) went down at Ewood Park against Blackburn (a club that is in reality closer to championship quality than Kean's outrageous remarks about going towards the top of the table). And, yes, this time even Arsene admitted the start of the season was simply terrible for his flock of "Star-trek-characters-look-a-likes".

Manchester United have completely different kind of start. They are invincible! Even Chelsea couldn't do nothing to change this. Valderrama in Utd shirt scored again (and badly missed a penalty), Nani scored a beauty (only Luka Modric's goal could match it)... On the other hand Goalless Torres put himself on the scoring list BUT missed a sitter later in the game. Maybe, just maybe, he should do something with his hair (great tweet about it!). Oh, yes, and Man City pissed away their lead...

Also in this edition: man-love, organ-transplant, George Orwell, Maradona, the worst team, the end of the world, killing each other and more.

Now it's time to explain (again), what this blog is all about. As I wrote the last four times: 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...

BLACKBURN - ARSENAL 4-3 (1-2)

"You're getting sacked in the morning" - Are the Arsenal fans still singing to Wenger?!

H-T Blackburn 1-2 Arsenal. Random thought: if Venky's did have a managerial vacancy soon, would they FILLET?
astravegaa
Arsenal has Damon from Vampire Diaries in their squad #Arteta

Arsenal bringing Chamakh on. In response, Chris Samba will wear flip-flops for the remainder of the game.

Wigan are the worst team I've ever seen! They should just stick to rugby league.

EatMoreBacalhau
After five rounds in the PL, who would've predicted Norwich and Swansea do have more points, and a better goal difference, than Arsenal?
ManUtd24
Nobby Solano finds the net for Hartlepool. Yakubu scores two. Even Leroy Lita has a goal to his name. The end of the world is near, folks.

#wba 3-0 down. Clearly the fault of the players, owners, fans, reserve team, unreasonable expectations and Rafael Benitez.

I am so in love with Fulham right now. Proved that it's about being a team, not an aguero.

Fulham draw with City, so the majority of new Chelsea fans will have something to celebrate tonight

BBC website cannot stomach what's happening at Craven Cottage, insisting it's 3-1 to #mcfc, and bizarrely listing five goals, 3 for City

Glad to know we're still the same old City. No amount of money will change our inexplicable ability to throw away leads. #mcfc #fulham

Cracking match. Again. Jones enviously eyeing Torres' blond highlights. Just described them as "reet fashionable". To Anderson.

Arsene is on the phone to Torres now: asking if he can teach his back four to miss the goal like that.
ManUnitedTalk
What's the difference between Fernando Torres and Wayne Bridge? John Terry appreciates Wayne Bridge's missus.
churchofsoccer
Torres should talk to Rooney's hair-transplant guy. I know, I know. But he's gotta try *something* different.
Snikoggs
Wenger has announced he wants to buy Torres. When asked why he said, "If I play him at centre back, at least we won't score any own goals"

FUNNY (?) TWITTER RECAP OF THE 4th ROUND OF ENGLISH PREMIERLEAGUE

This time this is more or less about two strikers. World class strikers that is. Sergio Aguero scored a hattrick for Man City vs Wigan. And there were quite a few Juventini to tweet about that. As one of them put it: every time Aguero scores for City, my heart hurts... No need for further explanation...

But, again, Kun was in Wazza's shadow. Brilliant display by Man United, Chicharito scored two, Wayne Rooney three. Supernatural? Maybe, and even the devil must've interferred... After all, it was 666th away game in which Sir Alex Ferguson has managed ManUtd. Yes, 666 is the number of the beast... And what a beast it is. Soon there will be more devils' fans that there are Roman Catholics...

Also in this blog there are an afroman, a surgeon, goalless Torres, an embarrassing formation, Stella, gold diggers, Nintendo, Carmina Burana, crack, Adebayor and much more.

Now it's time to explain (again), what this blog is all about. As I wrote the last three times: 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 "fourth edition". Here are some of the bits, which should shed some (different) light on the 4th round of EPL. I thank all the tweeps for contributing...

And, please, again, pardon my English... No excuses...
