What a weekend it was! Everton won an away match! Kean is still Rovers' manager! Arsenal fans want RVP's contract extension for Xmas! Chris Foy defeated Chelsea! King Kenny loves Bellamy more than Carroll! Aston Villa fans know how to use Gaddafi's golden pistol! And don't go to Newcastle. They don't have sex over there. Or at least they don't give a rat's ass about protection...
Anyway, even the flying black and white condoms at St. James' Park were not enough to put Newcastle in the spotlight. This weekend it was all about the Manchester derby. And I wonder no more. We really have a serious contender. I mean, when you defeat United (even though they were dressed up as Arsenal due to Halloween) in the Theatre of dreams and score six goals on top of it...
David Silva proved again he's worth every penny, City's central defenders did well, but it was Super Mario who got most of attention. After he - stupidly, it may/may not be added, but it obviously works for him - almost burned his house down with the fireworks, the Pirelli-head scored a brace. Not celebrating it, of course. But surely it was sweet for the man who asked "why always me?".
The same question was probably on Jonny "the stupid red card" Evans' mind. But he knows the answer. And ManUTD fans know it, too. And it ain't pretty. No, these days Evans is not exactly a popular name in the Manchester's Red district. Regarding his performance quite rightly so. Phil Jones? What Phil Jones? Do you mean that guy warming the bench?
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 "ninth edition". Here are some of the bits, which should shed some (different) light on the 9th round of EPL. I thank all the tweeps for contributing...
WOLVERHAMPTON - SWANSEA CITY 2-2 (0-2)
JohnHartson10
Funny there load of Swansea fans tried to ambush me onto their bus!! Wouldn't have hesitated if I wasn't off to Bangor!!
JamesMawFFT
Wolves fans sing "you're not singing anymore" at Swansea fans, having done nothing but boo for 85 minutes. Yeah, nice one...
PCarrESPN
Swansea City is still without a top-flight road win in 27 matches, since May 1982 win at Nottingham Forest.
pett10
Scott Sinclair's post match interview, he must have said "you know" at least 15 times! #swansea threw it away in last 10, what a shame
ASTON VILLA - WEST BROMWICH ALBION 1-2 (1-1)
MalawiVillan
#wba have the extra man, luckily for #avfc the extra man's Odemwingie...
thomjones0605
To be honest I'm surprised Phil Dowd didn't need security getting in to Villa Park, let alone getting out. #avfc
duguzzle
I can think of a number of good uses for Colonel Gaddafi's golden pistol right now. #phildowd #alexmcleish #avfc
BOLTON - SUNDERLAND 0-2 (0-0)
MrJasonM
Bendtner wore green boots today, what is he like!? I guess when your as good as he is, You can wear whatever you like!
NEWCASTLE UTD - WIGAN 1-0 (0-0)
PeteOfTheNorth
I'm enjoying the tattoos on the guy at the bar. Chatted to him about bitter. It's #NUFC time so I'm in manly Pete mode.
hdav727
I just heard someone refer to Cabaye as "our Tim Cahill"... I've NEVER heard a worse comparison! #nufc
Kevin_Dooley
Gabriel Obertan is like a homeless man's Nani. Thoughts?
ShaunProud
The #nufc "lob it up the field and hope your striker is faster than Usain Bolt" tactic doesn't seem to be working
emmap23
To whoever keeps releasing condoms as balloons from level 7. At least we know you're not getting laid. #mong #nufc
blefuscu74
If a squirrel had farted in Leazes Park that would have gone over the line! #nufc
fudgie
Steven Taylor must have a broken nose. It's touching his ear #nufc
LIVERPOOL - NORWICH CITY 1-1 (1-0)
TommiTikall
I wasnt going to open my whiskey before we scored. Thank you Bellamy. #LFC
DamianConnor
Amazing player cost nothing scores but every1 talking bout player on bench who cost 35m ! #LFC
mooninanfield
Suarez. Has to be one of the most theatrical players. Reckon he could give me a run for my money as the Drama Queen. #LFC
britishblackman
I'm pigsick right now. The forwards coach should either be sacked, or 1 appointed. The amount of chances we miss per game is ridiculous #lfc
celinaemcee
Anyway, before Twitter makes this apocalyptic, and someone stupidly calls for Kenny's head, I'm off. Fun to watch. It will get better. #LFC
The_SamR
So Bellamy started he's football at Norwich, I thought he started with the rest of the trolls... Under a bridge!
ARSENAL - STOKE CITY 3-1 (1-1)
alvavikram
RVP needs some support, Mr Wenger please take out ur cheque book and give us some Xmas presents
jmwai
The only funny 6-1 joke is Arsenal have not won 1 trophy in 6 years.
FULHAM - EVERTON 1-3 (0-1)
theczechup Chris Boothroyd
Grygera plays 90 minutes for Fulham, gets taken off and then Fulham let two in during injury time to lose 3-1. Should have kept him on!
Chirps31
Something that may cheer up Man U fans - #EFC beat Fulham 3-1. There see, bet you feel better already. #mufc
MANCHESTER UTD - MANCHESTER CITY 1-6 (0-1)
YnkaOkula
David Silva must have been born with a Silver Spoon with forks and knives,Chai see cutting..#MUFC
izayyadi
I miss that lil ginger kid we use to have in mid field #mufc #DerbyDay
jameselliot007
#mufc #mcfc Next balotelli t shirt will have the message 'my nan went on holiday and all she could get me was this horrible t-shirt'
craigt1988
Why is Howard Webb 4th official? We need him as the referee!!! #mufc
mcintyrewba3
Lmao! Loving sky for playin 'firework' when on about balotelli! #mcfc #mufc
RealRamiHanbali
Dear Sir Alex, when you have someone like Phil Jones on the bench why do you play Johnny Evans, sincerely every #MUFC fan #EPL
dirtytackle
Balotelli again! Clearly setting your house on fire with fireworks is the key to success.
jonawils
What Balotelli shd do at HT is change into shirt saying 'Because I never learn', score again in 2nd half and be sent off for revealing it
BahamaMamaTy
I don't care how many shirts #Balotelli had made out. City STILL won't win the title. He needs to buy fire extinguisher. #MUFC
cenkkarsli
six and the city #balotelli
USfutblog
Why did Man U decide to start Halloween a week early and dress up as Arsenal?
BLACKBURN - TOTTENHAM 1-2 (1-1)
thfc
So we're a better team than United because we only lost 5-1 at home to City
oGrime
So Spurs fans, who's up for the chop this week then? I see we've got off VDV nuts. I heard Parkers had a shocker, shall we start with him?
AdamWilson7
Confused as to why I've not seen the Steve Kean has been sacked headline. Surely this is impending? #brfc
QUEENS PARK RANGERS - CHELSEA 1-0 (1-0)
AnnieEaves
John Terry on video, appears to be shouting 'You F***ing Black C***' at Anton Ferdinand in today's game. goo.gl/A5o2F
ayush_1901
@Ollie_Davis Can say JT said 'blind' & no one can be sure if it was not definitely directed towards Foy. What happened in ur game tho?
PhotoKaren
I could hear Abramovich scratching Chris Foy's name off his Xmas Card list during the game. Wonder if he's free to ref against Man Ciy? #QPR
LizBussey
Anyone would think QPR had won the league - they just managed to hold on to 1 goal which was a penalty against 9 men - awful team.
