The Merseyside derby was a proper opener of the 7th round of the EPL. It had it all. Goals, hitting posts and crossbars, ref-mistakes, a red card AND even an Andy Carroll's goal. Liverpool won largely due to: firstly, a referee who showed a red card to Jack Rodwell -dangerous start yes, early bath no -, secondly, unlike LFC Twitter fans, king Kenny was patient enough; despite a poor performance Carroll was allowed to finish on the pitch... and scored. Horse-teeth just finished the match off.
Blackburn also got a fair amount of tweets. This time not so much chicken-related. The twitter-world turned slightly sexual. Not surprisingly, when there's a willy involved. Well, a willie, but it is a good one. Goodwillie they call him. Some commentators say he should penetrate more... Not so good then after all. Citizens can confirm that. They scored (a lot), willie and his mates didn't.
Neither did the canaries. They lost at Old Trafford. Hardly a surprise, you'd say. But they were giving the red devils (without Homer De Gea) a very hard time and were a bit unlucky not to get a point. But with a superhuman at the right-back and Welbeck as a finisher SAF's boys ended the game as they wanted. And Citizens didn't.
Sunday was all about the London derby. But JT's balls also attracted some Twitter-attention (almost as much as Frank Lampard's and Andy Johnson's hat-tricks). Wanna know details? Ask David Ngog... Back to London: for starters, Jasper Carrott was the ref, there was a ghost of 90's Wimbledon in the Spurs team, but despite that Spurs won. Probably because of the beautiful Bale's crotch. Ask Mr. Neville...
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 "seventh edition". Here are some of the bits, which should shed some (different) light on the 7th round of EPL. I thank all the tweeps for contributing...
EVERTON - LIVERPOOL 0-2 (0-0)

Graeme Souness: 'Suarez is a dangerous animal' - judging by the teeth, a wild stallion?

We need to get a goal! If Everton nick one I see them parking the bloody Titanic! #LFC
MRomone
RT @JohnnyUtah100: Suarez has massive teeth. He could chew an apple through a tennis raquet. #LFC

Apparently Martin Kelly's hair thinks its 1986. #lfc

Baines is so 1970s. I think there is a fancy dress competition going on in the evertonian dressing room. #everton vs #LFC
imsabbah
Andy Carroll. Nice hair. #lfc
bimal
Why did Rodwell get sent off... apart from the fact he plays for everton? #lfc

Love Carroll for scoring but he runs like a cart horse #LFC
briankettle
Patience is a virtue. We are fortunate that the #lfc manager possesses more than the Twitter generation.

@TheStock_ @ffscout_andy Mcleish takes poor players and makes them average. The unfortunate side effect is good players also become average

Blackburn has a guy named David Goodwillie. #fail
mcfcforum
The commentator has just said " goodwillie needs to try and penetrate more" #OoooohMatron

David Goodwillie up there with Rod Fanni as two of the best names in football #Quality

David De Gea out of the Manchester United side today. Frees him up to lift a few danish pastries.

I hope De gea steals another Donut just to see Lindegaard playing again #mufc

SUNDERLAND - WEST BROMWICH ALBION 2-2 (2-2)

Bendtner scoring against you has to be so morally demoralizing for a back 4
FourFourTom
Bendtner was involved in Sunderland's second goal too, by the way. Perhaps he actually is the world's best striker...

Cattermole in a strop over sub: Throws armband away, and tells bruce "It's your choice." "Yes it is son" says Brucey. #safc
WOLVERHAMPTON - NEWCASTLE UNITED 1-2 (0-1)

If Wolves don't win before next saturday my best man's wedd speech is going to be more expletive+anger fuelled than if Frankie Boyle did it
elizabail
Well done Wolves. You finally turned up 88 minutes and 2 goals too late. Retards.
apples_are_blue
Wolves seem to get out of bed part way through the second half . . . No that I am complaining.
BOLTON - CHELSEA 1-5 (0-4)

I think Raul Meireles could fit some more tattoos on his body if he really put his mind to it #cfc #chelsea
DanaWessel
I'd bench my 7th graders if they marked like Bolton did on that Chelsea goal.
JamesDallESPN
Ngog's boot just clouted Terry in his privates, the Chelsea skipper floored with pain. Commentator on Terry: "He is as hard as they come."
ThePhilLennon
All the #Chelsea Players wives breathe a huge sigh of relief....or is that the players?! lockerz.com/s/143772200
adwinn
the poor Chelsea physio has to examine John Terry's jedwards. God knows where they were last night.
eddvardien
Think I'd risk a kick in the "unmentionables" if it meant some attention for the Chelsea physio. She's tidy.
WhiplashUnited
Why do Chelsea away fans make more noise than their home fans? Don't the away fans go to the home games?
macaustine
Chelsea is technically playing one man down cos Drogba is doin nada
FULHAM - QUEENS PARK RANGERS 6-0 (3-0)

"Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back" is the slightly tongue-in-cheek call from #ffc fans to their #qpr friends

QPR gettin thumped by Fulham... hope @marcbircham & @Joey7Barton take a deep breath & count to ten before picking up their mobiles today.

So happy qpr are getting spanked. Football has a habit of smashing you in the face

@StanCollymore I've told you before that I think you're the best pundit on radio, but Swansea City are definitely not called the Bluebirds!

When did Spurs become 90's Wimbledon? Not seen so much long ball since....actually any Stoke game this year!

#thfc v #afc: Mike Dean remains the referee who most looks like Jasper Carrott.
