The club owners (and even the fans except Blackburn's) in England are quite patient regarding sacking their managers this fall. Maybe the reason is Steve Kean. Everybody's expected him to be sacked already and therefore on the market. You make your own conclusions...
Venky's got another reason to kick him in the behind after the Stoke City match, but at the moment of writing he's still there. I mentioned the Stoke - Rovers match... Obviously no one expected a cracker. Or why would they recruit additional air traffic controllers?
One of the candidates for getting his employment status corrected to "unemployed" is Bolton's Owen Coyle, but their fans still showing him some support. Fear of Kean is too strong.
Even Steve Bruce is on his way out. His Sunderland suffered a home defeat against mighty Wigan. Nothing went the right way at the Stadium of light, the players of the "fat geordie bastard" lost, even their fans mixed up Italy and Spain.
Queens Park Rangers thought they could win in Norwich but they hit the Brazilian wall. Namely, the Canaries are hugely popular in Brazil (for some reason most of the country wears yellow) and the South American support for the home team was too much even for the QPR owner.
But there were some funny tweets about the other 13th round matches, too. Read a joke about Torres and his highlights, Sepp Blatter always puts a smile on your face, THFC fans apologize to the man whose mom was doing, well, a naughty job, Mario Balotelli proved that blondes are less fortunate regarding the hair-colour and more...
But let me finish on a more serious note: Gary Speed RIP.
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 the 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 "13th edition". Here are some of the bits, which should shed some (different) light on the 13th round of EPL. I thank all the tweeps for contributing...
STOKE CITY - BLACKBURN 3-1 (1-0)

Additional air traffic controllers have been recruited for today's Stoke v Blackburn game.

FUNNY (?) TWITTER RECAP OF THE 12th ROUND OF ENGLISH PREMIERLEAGUE
Match of the weekend? Clubwise it's got to be Chelsea - Liverpool. The latter won. Deservedly? Maybe. But there is no doubt about the clown of the match. John Obi Mikel. My oh my... And I thought it can only happen to Darijan Matić (surely most of you don't know him and we in Slovenia would like to forget him). But the best tweets about the blue and red battle were all about Fernanda Torres. No, I didn't misspell his name - according to one of the funniest tweets of the weekend.
Some of you might ask why so many tweets about the dull Swansea - ManUTD game. You may hate 'em, but the fans of the club, which depends on a hairdryer, seem to be among the best (juiciest?) tweeps around. Michael Carrick as Tim Tebow is as good as the biggest and the greasiest SubWay sandwich.
In other matches people spotted dead tarantula in Norwich, Greek Magician did his magic for Evertonians, surprisingly Gervinho could save St. James' Park (don't say wtf? prematurely!), Icelanders have unearthed a new man-flu cure, Steve Bruce expressed his love for cloggers... And finally, Steve Kean still hasn't won over Blackburn fans and Benoit Assou-Ekotto's hair confused yet another team. No, really.
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...

FUNNY (?) TWITTER RECAP OF THE 11th ROUND OF ENGLISH PREMIERLEAGUE
"Twenty-five years in charge... What should I get him? A pack of chewing gum? He surely likes chewing. But wait. It would be too cheap. A hairdryer? Well, I'm a bit worried he would give me one of his then... A bottle of fine highland whisky? Nah, he's red-nosed enough."
The dilemma ruined Wesley Brown's sleep. He didn't want to disappoint his former manager once again. So he asked his current gaffer (also former Red Devil) Steve Bruce for advice. After a couple of hours thinking about the suitable gift, Bruce said to his defender: "Think, Wes, what can you do best?"
Not so young Wesley started doing some more thinking, after a while thanked him and said: "Oooh, it's going to be a real surprise!" Sadly though, hours later no one was really surprised. As he scored an own goal. Oh, yes, he's good at scoring them. But anyway, it was the perfect gift for SAF! And Wesley was happy again.
The other weekend stories were also quite entertaining. Arsenal claim they do not need a Batman's help, Newcastle is in the same class as Barcelona, Juventus and ManCity, Alex McLeish should be the next celebrity face in the Head&Shoulders commercial, Steve Kean really scared Blackburn fans during Halloween, Mario Balotelli joined Luis Suarez in diving team, Benoit Assou-Ekotto looks up to Marge Simpson 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...

Blackburn ban banners at Ewood, so fans hire plane to fly overhead with big "Steve Kean Out" banner.

Steve Kean was out Scaring Blackburn fans last night. He was dressed as a contract extension.

Newcastle sell Carroll for £35m and improve dramatically. Liverpool buy him and draw at home to Sunderland, Norwich and Swansea. Comment?

What do you get if you cross a ball to Andy Carroll? A goal-kick

KAI SPORTS NEWS: After many years at Old Trafford, Wes Brown finally comes good for United by scoring in his own net for Sunderland.

You can always rely on Wes Brown and Steve Bruce to give their team 3 points, as they did again yesterday.

#ManUtd whip round for SirAlex 25 years in charge - Wes Brown chipping in with O.G. Really Wes you shouldn't have, potplant would have done!

Wow Balotelli, it seems like you are Suarez' the biggest rival... in diving.

Shocking from Wigan. So many times they could have scored but lack of decent finishers cost them massively. Relegated unless Messi signs

Looks like Wigan have been taking tips on finishing from Liverpool

The dilemma ruined Wesley Brown's sleep. He didn't want to disappoint his former manager once again. So he asked his current gaffer (also former Red Devil) Steve Bruce for advice. After a couple of hours thinking about the suitable gift, Bruce said to his defender: "Think, Wes, what can you do best?"
Not so young Wesley started doing some more thinking, after a while thanked him and said: "Oooh, it's going to be a real surprise!" Sadly though, hours later no one was really surprised. As he scored an own goal. Oh, yes, he's good at scoring them. But anyway, it was the perfect gift for SAF! And Wesley was happy again.
The other weekend stories were also quite entertaining. Arsenal claim they do not need a Batman's help, Newcastle is in the same class as Barcelona, Juventus and ManCity, Alex McLeish should be the next celebrity face in the Head&Shoulders commercial, Steve Kean really scared Blackburn fans during Halloween, Mario Balotelli joined Luis Suarez in diving team, Benoit Assou-Ekotto looks up to Marge Simpson 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 "11th edition". Here are some of the bits, which should shed some (different) light on the 11th round of EPL. I thank all the tweeps for contributing...

Awful defending from Everton. Heitinga doing an impression of the kids from Jurassic Park when told the T-Rex's vision is based on movement.
