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...
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 "12th edition". Here are some of the bits, which should shed some (different) light on the 12th round of EPL. I thank all the tweeps for contributing...
NORWICH CITY - ARSENAL 1-2 (1-1)
ToomyLav
Per Mertesacker, I love you. You keep my dream of being a Professional footballer alive. I'd slot straight in to that back four!! #AFC
chrisrwhiting
Do Norwich play their celebration song through a Sony Ericsson or something? Awful sound. #NCFC #AFC
dalejohnsonESPN
Arsenal's Robin Van Persie joins Alan Shearer (twice), Thierry Henry, Les Ferdinand and Ruud Van Nistelrooy in scoring 30 in a year. #afc
kingkongfinger
Gervinho's head looks like a dead tarantula balanced on lawn bowl. #AFC
aawharris77
Does anyone want to tell #Mertesacker that he is in fact paid well for playing football so doesnt need to fall over every 2 mins..#afc
mitchellgolland
Someone please inject some steroids in to Yossi Benayoun. Looks so ill. #afc #ncfc
OneMatchBan
Gervinho is one of those strikers who doesn't need pace because he has an extra 2 yards in his head... #afc #ncfc
EVERTON - WOLVERHAMPTON 2-1 (1-1)
PerfectPass
Baines puts Everton ahead from the spot. Who earned the penalty? Vellios, of course. The Greek Magician shocks again!! Everton 2-1 Wolves
bpurkiss23
Leighton Baines is the best left back in the prem. Just doesn't look a player
LMarshx
I want to marry Leighton Baines!
MANCHESTER CITY - NEWCASTLE UTD 3-1 (2-0)
DiscoStewLamb
if we had of bought Gervinho, Mike Ashley could have advertised Sports Direct in his forehead. He missed that one didnt he. #nufc
jamirochriss
Balotelli's hair reminds me of an Ed hardy t shirt for some reason. #epl #mancity
MrShotcaller
The ManCity twins (Balotelli and Richards) lol
Andrewg32
clumsy challenge but 9 out of 10 for the tumble by richards. ive taken 1 mark off cos he didnt point his toes. #NUFC
kLFCreds
This will begin the descent of #NUFC's trip back down to Earth.
blefuscu74
Wonder how brilliant we would be if we'd spent the budget of a small nation to buy all the trophies? #nufc #mcfc
Neerightfoot
Billions spent on the place yet still empty seats. Aye, massive club "Citeh"' #NUFC
Richard_Buxton
#MCFC announce that today was a record attendance at the Etihad Stadium, of 47,408 #NUFC
STOKE CITY - QUEENS PARK RANGERS2-3 (1-2)
adamrubins
The best cure for man flu? Heidar Helguson. Who knew? In other news, goodbye Steve Kean #QPR #football
AaronWood1986
To all the people who ever doubted Helguson... Put your hands up and eat humble pie. I always had faith in the guy a fantastic striker.
SUNDERLAND - FULHAM 0-0
sorourkeITV
#SAFC Cattermole booked. In equally surprising news. The sun came up this morning.
StuartShearing1
Has Dempsey broken sweat today ?...fookin lazy #ffc
IndolentFop
Why does Steve Bruce hate Craig Gardner? Why does he love teams of cloggers? #safc
WEST BROMWICH ALBION - BOLTON 2-1 (1-1)
GCaldicott
That'll do! I'm beginning to feel man love for Shane Long :) #wba
MattLeary
Premier league to sort out refereeing standards. Gray Cahill physically picked and held Long in the air. Apparently this isn't a foul #wba
WIGAN ATHLETIC - BLACKBURN 3-3 (2-1)
sportingintel
Utterly bonkers here. Blackburn's owners left at half-time. Their fans yelling 'We want Venky's out!'. Then Blackburn equalise for 2-2.
sportingintel
Insane. Blackburn score 98th minute equaliser via Yak pen after gk Robinson kicked in head trying to get late goal in oppo box. Ends 3-3
JedWinstanley
When you let in two goals and draw with a ten man Blackburn side. That's when you know you're going down. @LaticsOfficial
MikeyDelap
Kean prior to the game - "Only a win will do." Kean after the game - "It was important we got something from the game." #doublefacepalm
SWANSEA - MANCHESTER UTD 0-1 (0-1)
_RiazAdam
@luisnani and @WayneRooney are just like a couple they are always arguing #mufc
PatrickShabangu
Worried about Carrick, why is his pants sitting so high? #MUFC
AaronisRadio
Sure I just heard Swansea fans singing 'there's only one Luis Suarez'. Absolutely disgusting. #mufc
acrutd
First half sums up Giggs' United career. Constantly gave the ball away but as soon as he's in a good position he creates a goal #mufc
PDHughes87
Went to subway for my dinner today, and asked for the biggest, greasiest, most expensive sub, and they gave me "the Andy Carroll". #mufc
thisisfreddi
MUFC has all types strikers.look at goals only Chicha, moody Berba, twitter Owen n the magnificent Rooney
BerbaTez
Things more exciting than this #mufc match: ed byrne, soot, Paula abdul, fox hair, mass, cricket, acorns, staples, broadsheet newspapers.
Shivvy27
No other choice but to invite my west country friend out to help settle my nerves.. Come here Mr Cider!! FFS #mufc sort it out!
julejames1961
De Gea looks like he should be playing a moody teenager in #eastenders #mufc #scfc
jonathansebire
Giggs has spotted an unattended wife in the stand so he's subbed himself off. #mufc #youheard
RYANFABRO590
I got it! Carrick is the Tebow of the #epl he hates passing the ball forward, and when doing so, tends to disappoint #mufc
CHELSEA - LIVERPOOL 1-2 (0-1)
henrywinter
Torres and Carroll amongst subs. Most expensive benches outside of Harrods garden-furnishings department #cfc #lfc
damientweet
Thomas Cook advertising around Stamford Bridge reads "Winter 2012 holidays still available". I should think so, it's Autumn 2011. #CFC
LukeEllis2
Brilliant from Gary Neville: David Luiz looks like he's being controlled by a ten year old in the crowd on a playstation. #cfc
briankettle
Nice gesture toward sexual equality by #cfc tonight: letting that clueless blonde girl come on and run around for the last few minutes.
afootballreport
Watching the most overrated right back in England destroy the most overrated left back in England was really something special.
TOTTENHAM - ASTON VILLA 2-0 (2-0)

Assou ekkotto looks like a microphone tonight #thfc #avfc
lukesimpsongolf

Spurs must still be laughing, long after taking the money from the sale of Hutton all the way to the bank. #avfc #thfc
therealbatley
I think Scott Parker is far too selfish...let someone else win the Man of the Match award! #thfc
robculli
Alan Hutton looks like vin diesel on smack #THFC #COYS

Adebayor Adebayor cost less than berbatov and scores a lot more!!! #mcfc #thfc #mufc
