Last week it was Manchester. This weekend it was London's turn. Tottenham beat QPR, but it was the other match that stood out. Chelsea welcomed Arsenal at the Stamford Bridge believing they are surely good enough for beating Wenger's "quasi-kindergarten". Well, were they? Ehm, no, they weren't.
After the first 45 minutes it seemed they could win after Frank Lampard and John Terry opened Arse's defence and scored. But "Wengaboys" brought a not so secret weapon with them. They soon unleashed RPG, oh sorry, my mistake... I mean RVP.
The Dutch goal-machine didn't disappoint and scored "la tripleta", as Italians beautifully refer to "hat-trick". His latter goals came in the final five minutes, hurting Chelsea even more.
Well, they deserved it. Chelsea's defence was rubbish (as was Arsenal's), but the most "ha-ha" got a "not-racist" who obviously knows how to slip in key moments... Remember CL finals?
What else happened? Little pea saved United's ass (Jonny Evans was in the starting lineup... Really!!), even Fergie's agent couldn't stop ManCity, Steve Kean blew a two-goal lead, Darren Bent pissed Sunderland's and Villa's fans off, Andy Carroll mounted Olsson from behind and much 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 "10th edition". Here are some of the bits, which should shed some (different) light on the 10th round of EPL. I thank all the tweeps for contributing...
EVERTON - MANCHESTER UNITED 0-1 (0-1)

Jonny Evans starts for United. And they say Fergie has no sense of humour

MoM for the #MUFC match was Berbatov. It was his awesomeness that prevented Everton from scoring.

I've been lucky enough to see the likes of Henry, Bergkamp, Zola etc. live but @WayneRooney is by far the best player I've ever seen. #mufc

When #SAF took charge at #United 19 out of the 32 players who have made first team appearance this season were not born. #GodFather #mufc

When I find myself in times of trouble, Chicharito scores for me, Javier Hernandez, little pea
CHELSEA - ARSENAL 3-5 (2-1)

Excellent banner at Stamford Bridge. "JT," it reads, "IS NOT RACIST". That's that sorted, then. Stand down. #cfc 1-0 #afc

Last week I received a lot of tweets from CFC fans. So quiet now,why? Oh wait! #CH3L5EA

That's it from me for a while - this will take alcohol to get over, see you on the other side. #Chelsea #CFC

“@DavidRolls25: AVB is trying to make great omelettes with bad eggs. #cfc #chelsea” Agree. Ring the changes, Roman. Better spend well.

Torres was absolutely w**k today. More threat in Peppa Pig. #cfc

On that note, Umbro please develop a JT antislip traction soleplate. #CFC

Dear God, Bless RVP with extra steel in his legs/ankles, return V5 to top form and inject some creativity into Artetas game. Amen.

Message for Stan. Head to dressing rooms. Congratulate your team. Then stop at Robin, bow down and give him whatever contract he needs. #rvp
MANCHESTER CITY - WOLVERHAMPTON 3-1 (0-0)

Looks like Henessey has been enjoying too much Henessey before the match. Go City! @MCFC
DomFarrell1986
I believe that's the first time Aleks Kolarov has ever scored without kicking it REALLY hard. Disappointing #MCFC
EAM_STEAK
Finally have a chance to watch MCFC today and no "Super Mario" or Tevez and Dzeko gets taken off just after half. Bummer. Back to cleaning.

The man with firework showcase ability is in, Balotelli. Hoping for a cracker. #mcfc

Mick McCarthy looks like the love child of Doc from Back to the Future and Bert from Sesame Street. #MCFC #Wolves
AnneMCity
Phew!! So Fergie's Agent Attwell came, he tried but we conquered. Come on City!!!! #mcfc
NORWICH CITY - BLACKBURN 3-3 (0-1)

After singing the 'Norfolk Cafu' song towards Russell Martin, the women next to me asks "What's a Cafu?? " #ncfc
richardwoodEDP
Blackburn are truly awful but from 3-1 down we will take that. And our thanks to Steve Keen for taking off Yakubu. Much appreciated #ncfc
channeldelibird
"Sacked in the morning" was the chant to Steve Kean all around the ground after the equaliser. #BRFC did let Norwich back in - overrun.
SUNDERLAND - ASTON VILLA 2-2 (1-1)
1RobertEvans
Darren Bent has pissed me off too! He can't keep missing simple chances! 7 yards out isn't a great save, it's a bad miss!!! #avfc
sportingintel
Most dramatic action of second half so far has been #sfc gk Mignolet going off with smashed bloody nose after accidental heskey elbow #avfc
jessespector
I will try not to get too attached to Connor Wickham, because it will only end in sorrow. But this is the start of something good at SAFC.
SWANSEA - BOLTON 3-1 (0-0)
jdgmedia
Darren Pratley left Swansea, where he was the main man, for Bolton, where he is bit part. Well done son #greed

30 - Danny Graham is the 30th player in Premier League history to score a goal and an own goal in the same match. Redemption
WIGAN - FULHAM 0-2 (0-1)
MirrorFootball
Dave Whelan has just reacted to another Wigan defeat by singing "if you were the only girl in the world" on R5Live. Surreal

In the Premier League, anyone can beat anyone. Except Wigan, everyone beats Wigan
WEST BROMWICH ALBION - LIVERPOOL 0-2 (0-2)

When Liverpool last won the league, 89-90, the ave top-division basic pay in English football was £41,600. A year j.mp/ruzIqk #lfc

Time to hold my hands up ! The Baggies were Poor against Liverpool !!! We just rolled over and showed our belly's. #WBA #DrawingBoard ;((
Sir_Fergie
He punches birds, he burned his house. They don't care, that's f**king Scouse. Andy Carroll, Liverpool's number 9.

"Olsson took a huge portion of Andy Carroll from behind" says saucy Sam Matterface
TOTTENHAM - QUEENS PARK RANGERS 3-1 (2-0)

I love Ray Wilkins comms, you never know what you're going to get - like an assertion Heidur Helguson is a "lovely human being". #THFC #QPR
AaronLtweet
@Nigel_Reed Was that LENNON to BALE or MESSI to INIESTA. Outstanding stuff!! #THFC starting to look dangerous. #coys
