The 19th round of EPL's started on Friday. NUFC were visitors at Anfield Road. Alan Pardew put young Slovenian Haris Vuckic in the starting lineup. He was on the pitch for an hour or so - at the time he went off the score was 1-1. HBA then came in. The Toon Army were satisfied. Not for long though. Two quick goals sealed the victory for the Reds. If you wonder Andy Carroll scored... No, he didn't. He couldn't score even in the brothel (some say).
SAF celebrated his 70th birthday on Saturday. And, oh boy, what a present did he get! Mighty mighty Blackburn - managed by BRFC's fans' favourite (ha ha) - scored three and got three points. Yes, the chicken-flavoured team won! I hear the Red Devils, who were too slow for the 50 years old Yak, are already polishing champions' trophy and are getting ready to drop it at the Etihad Stadium.
One of the most boring sides in EPL (till today?), Aston Villa, caused another shock. The Birmingham boys slaughtered Chelsea at Stamford Bridge! So it must be true, you know, rooting for Chelsea and frigid girlfriend thing...
In the other 19th round matches someone looks like an old lady at the bus station, Anfield hosts alpine skiing, Jeckyll & Hyde reappear, Gary Caldwell is not very bright, Spurs' fans are still "fascinated" by lineswomen and more. On Sunday WBA and Everton sent us to purgatory and Sunderland give Fergie a late birthday present.
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 "19th edition". Here are some of the bits, which should shed some (different) light on the 19th round of EPL. I thank all the tweeps for contributing...
LIVERPOOL - NEWCASTLE UTD 3-1 (1-1)

why do #lfc fans bring cowbells to Anfield. it sounds like a Alpine skiing event not a football match. #nufc

Was never a free kick for #lfc 2nd goal but fair play to Skrtel for some amazing defending. We still robbed you of £35million though #NUFC

FUNNY (?) TWITTER RECAP OF THE 18th ROUND OF ENGLISH PREMIERLEAGUE
Ah, thank God (or someone) for Boxing day football. It really made my day(s). But I think Chelsea fans feel slightly... well, to put it differently - it wasn't the best start of the week for them. They would rather postpone the match against Fulham. An embarrassing pile near the goal posts? Surely, this must be about Chelsea defenders conceding...
The happiest in the 18th round were the MUFC fans. Not only because the Red Devils put five into Wigan's net (three of them Dimitar the Bulgarian), but also because - like Chelsea - Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City dropped points. Patrice Evra was so happy he allegedly burned a cross in front of Suarez's house... Citizens and UTD are now equal regarding points.
Also very satisfied were the THFC fans. The Canaries were Baled. The Londoners also showed that they are attractive to watch. In fact so attractive, that Victoria Secret should fear for themselves! Adding to that, Norwich were probably mesmerized by Gareth Bale's speed. And nipples... Yes, nipples.
I the other 18th round matches Demba Ba acts in Bond-ish fashion, Steve Kean parades in his car-wannabe, a sniper shoots Leon Osman at the Stadium of Light, the Hawthorns' hosts Milan and Juventus, and fans appreciate a real cracker in Stoke... Bwahaha...
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 17th ROUND OF ENGLISH PREMIERLEAGUE
Due to some technical problems the blog is a bit shorter... And not so funny? Anyway, the match of this round was surely at White Hart Lane. It was a really satisfying encounter despite... well, John Terry. He was somewhat scared of going too close to the man, who's as hung as an elephant? I wouldn't know, though.
Personally, I am really pleased that Haris Vuckic played the whole match for NUFC. And he was one of the better ones... Oh, what a shame for those two brilliant efforts! But he's proved his quality and I expect him back in the black&white shirt soon!
In the other 17th round matches there were quite a few milestones! Check them out below. And I promise the next blog will be business as usual! Take care and merry Christmas and a happy new year to all the readers and tweeps!
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 "17th edition". Here are some of the bits, which should shed some (different) light on the 17th round of EPL. I thank all the tweeps for contributing...

FUNNY (?) TWITTER RECAP OF THE 16th ROUND OF ENGLISH PREMIERLEAGUE
One of the games of the Saturday afternoon - at least for us from Slovenia - was the Newcastle - Swansea match. It surely wasn't a beauty, although the hosts were clearly better (but they just couldn't score, hitting posts and bars). They were also lacking imagination in the midfield. Therefore most of the Toon fans "screamed" for Hatem Ben Arfa, but luckily for us Alan Pardew decided to give a chance to a young Slovenian Haris Vuckic in the last ten minutes. Even though it still ended in a goalless draw, it was nice to see him back on the SJP's pitch. And I must say, he was warmly welcomed... on Twitter at least.
Unlike Steve Kean. After Blackburn defeat against WBA he was - once again - given a lot of stick. One of the funniest tweets? Surely you wouldn't think it's related to the great Jim Morrison... Well, great for the Baggies fans. After all, he scored one of the goals.
Those who watched Wigan - Chelsea match had plenty to see. Except for goals. And exciting play. In the first half, that is. But you could spot a woman showing her love for the turkeys, Bieber's dooming effect on Chelsea (and on everyone else for that matter) etc. But, again, Drogba was nowhere to be seen. He really must be turning into some kind of an invisible man...
Match of the weekend? Manchester City - Arsenal! Citizens did their job. Arsenal didn't. How would they, when their manager - or was it a caterpillar? - was comfortable on the bench - in a sleeping bag. Obviously all this warmth influenced his decision-making. Or why would anyone try to save the game with a player as convincing as Russian democracy?
In the other 16th rd matches there was a ballerina-like buffalo, Fergie was in Fulham to exchange one of his defending assets for Michael Jackson statue, Wolves couldn't handle the truth... er, Huth, and Scott Parker should be careful while in London. Also, you can find out why Berba's not been given much playing time.
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.

I'm finding myself wanting #cfc players to get injured but its not because I don't want them playing. I just like the physio. A lot.

Yes, Drogba has put on the invisible cloak again. Time for Torres now. Will AVB bring him on? #CFC

Nani takes corners like I play golf. Can't get the ball off the floor more than four foot! #MUFC

1st half observations from #QPR v #MUFC: Jonny Evans has been excellent, Evra's playing like he's pissed, Helguson could play in the NBA.
OneMatchBan
He picked it up on the halfway line, took on a few players and casually finished. Not a description usually attributed to Carrick... #mufc

What midfield problems? When you've got this mystery player wearing Captain Backpass's shirt we're set. #mufc

I heard a rumour some team was crowned World Champions this morning? Who gives a fiddlers, we've just seen Michael Carrick score. #MUFC

Nani and Valencia definitely look like two different stages of Michael Jackson's plastic surgery journey. #QPR 0-2 #MUFC

Heskey off. #LFC down to eleven men. Serious impact on game.

Of #lfc's mammoth transfer spending in 2011, the best signing was the one that cost them nothing = bellamy

This Swedish feed for the LFC game is mad. It sounds like a language I'm on the verge of understanding, but is just one step too far away.

FUNNY (?) TWITTER RECAP OF THE 15th ROUND OF ENGLISH PREMIERLEAGUE
Ok, we had to wait for the match of the weekend till today, but regarding that Chelsea and Manchester City played in it, it wasn't to hard... :) Luckily for me - as I'm a Juventus fan (but admire English football) - Chelsea won. Therefore La Vecchia Signora is the last unbeaten team in the top five European leagues. "Got a pillow under my top as a thank you to fat frank!" if I may borrow Martink1n9's tweet. Yes, Lamps scored the winner.
On Saturday, MUFC replied marvelously after the Champions League blunder, but it was not all good at Old Trafford. According to some of you, a tree could do just as much as Kiko Macheda (in terms of 'a first touch' that is). Luckily for United Wayne Rooney scored and got behind Ryan Giggs... Yes, he scored firstly! You perverts...
Anyway, Arsenal have been doing incredibly well despite the fact they've put all their hopes about driving towards the top of the league on Reliant Robin.
The first Sunday's match was huge! Sunderland (deservedly winners) welcomed Steve Kean's Blackburn with a new manager in charge. Martin O'Neill. It was so big of a game that it proved Messiah is just an imaginary character (well, for at least an hour or so...). And congrats to tweeps! You made it even bigger and, mostly, funnier!
In other matches of this round Norwich won against Newcastle due to a man headbutting bees, Clint Dempsey learned about bad karma, Chris Foy ended THFC's unbeaten run and more. Fact of the day? Jordi Gomez is a prick! Oh, and a reminder for the clubs in search of a new manager! Two words: Owen Coyle! Success and beauty - all guaranteed!
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 "15th edition". Here are some of the bits, which should shed some (different) light on the 15th round of EPL. I thank all the tweeps for contributing...
ARSENAL - EVERTON 1-0 (0-0)

FUNNY (?) TWITTER RECAP OF THE 14th ROUND OF ENGLISH PREMIERLEAGUE
I must say Saturday's lunchtime match between Newcastle and Chelsea at St. James' Park (I do not like the other name...) was a very decent opener. Chelsea won, but Geordies were massively unlucky! David Luiz should be red-carded in the opening minutes, Tim Krul was brilliant (even saved Frank Lamaprd's penalty), they had plenty of chances etc. But they like to hit the bar too much. So it's their fault. A bunch of "boozers"!
Blackburn, formerly known as a bunch of losers, have tried everything (except sacking Steve Kean) to restore some of the "old days reputation". They haven't been particularly successful. Until today. Yes, they collected three points (against Swansea that is). And actually their best player was a beast! Just google it. Here are some clues: it's a shaggy Himalayan hoofed mammal found in Tibet and parts of China and is a very surefooted animal.
Aston Villa on the other hand still haven't found what they're looking for. Maybe they really should get rid of Alex McLeish, because my god they're boring to watch! Not that MUFC were THAT exciting in the Injury bowl. Far from it. And it seems Red Devils' tweeps followed them. It was I think the first match so far that even they didn't do their usual job (funny, cynical... tweeting).
In the other mathces Mario Balotelli invented "Shoulder of Mario," QPR and WBA fans also didn't have the best of afternoons obviously, Bolton couldn't win with a player slower than a Christmas mail in the team, Gervinho confuses Arsenal's, MCFC's and Barca's fans, Evertonians scream for a sugar daddy, special agent Steve is laughing and more!
BTW I apologize for publishing the final version so late. I had to write it on a prehistoric computer. I mean, it's as slow as above mentioned Bolton player...
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...

WIGAN - ARSENAL 0-4 (0-2)

RVP has more league goals than Lionel Messi in this calendar year. Unlike Messi, he doesn't play for a team that dominates his league.
JJmessiah
Do arsenal only talk about one player? Cos that's all I ever see on my timeline. RVP this RVP that. No, you're not a one man team at all.

Any1 see Gervinho kiss the badge after he scored. Means 1 of 3 things: 1) About to sign for City; 2) About to sign for Barca; 3) He loves us

Gomez dropping very deep and Wigan are basically lining up in a 4-6-0. Luciano Spalletti and Craig Levein look on admiringly.

Fellaini being manhandled for a whole corner routine somehow doesn't constitute a foul. Jeez. Still #everton utterly impotent.

Congrats to Clint Dempsey, whose 37th Premier League goal breaks Brian McBride's record for a US player. (Also beat Liverpool with it.)
Blackburn, formerly known as a bunch of losers, have tried everything (except sacking Steve Kean) to restore some of the "old days reputation". They haven't been particularly successful. Until today. Yes, they collected three points (against Swansea that is). And actually their best player was a beast! Just google it. Here are some clues: it's a shaggy Himalayan hoofed mammal found in Tibet and parts of China and is a very surefooted animal.
Aston Villa on the other hand still haven't found what they're looking for. Maybe they really should get rid of Alex McLeish, because my god they're boring to watch! Not that MUFC were THAT exciting in the Injury bowl. Far from it. And it seems Red Devils' tweeps followed them. It was I think the first match so far that even they didn't do their usual job (funny, cynical... tweeting).
In the other mathces Mario Balotelli invented "Shoulder of Mario," QPR and WBA fans also didn't have the best of afternoons obviously, Bolton couldn't win with a player slower than a Christmas mail in the team, Gervinho confuses Arsenal's, MCFC's and Barca's fans, Evertonians scream for a sugar daddy, special agent Steve is laughing and more!
BTW I apologize for publishing the final version so late. I had to write it on a prehistoric computer. I mean, it's as slow as above mentioned Bolton player...
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 "14th edition". Here are some of the bits, which should shed some (different) light on the 14th round of EPL. I thank all the tweeps for contributing...
NEWCASTLE UTD - CHELSEA 0-3 (0-1)

It looks like Shola has swallowed Ben Arfa #nufc

Pardew is genius, brings on Ameobi cause Luiz will make him look like he's as good as Messi, brilliant marketing move. #NUFC #CFC

Seen the size of Ameobi!! I'm just glad I'm not watching this one in 3d! #nufc

Meireles just realized how awful his haircut looks and is rolling on the ground trying to cover it up. #NUFC

OK, it's not a goal but kicking Ashley Cole in the head's not a bad second prize. #nufc
AdamClery
Raul Meireles. Half punk drummer, half smacked up rooster dipped in paint. #nufc

We might as well have a team full of alcoholics the amount of times they've hit the bar. #NUFC
BLACKBURN - SWANSEA 4-2 (2-1)
Danza09
Yakubu gonna have some massive dinner tonight dinner4-2 maybe
usarsnl
So the way to inspire Yakubu was to sell him to people with unlimited supplies of chicken.
jamesy_105
Just to stop Blackburn winning the prem, Man City will probably sign Yakubu

Idiots (pl, noun); the Blackburn fans protesting and chanting for Steve Kean to be sacked after their team have just won 4-2.
MANCHESTER CITY - NORWICH CITY 5-1 (1-0)

Bad news. Mr Paul has come back from Howard Webb's dressing room and he confirm we CANNOT put two goalkeepers on. Damnit. #ncfc
FisolaNYDN
Mario Balotelli, a soccer combination of Ron Artest & Michael Beasley, just scored a funny goal for Man City. The guy is nuts...and Italian
sportingintel
I love Mario Balotelli. The genius of Zola, the swagger of Cantona and an admirable dash of cheek. #mcfc

You've heard of the 'Hand of God' - how about the 'Shoulder of Mario'? #MCFC twitpic.com/7nqrpw
QUEENS PARK RANGERS - WEST BROMWICH ALBION 1-1 (1-0)

It is simply not good enough for us not to win games like that. Don't tell me its 1 point closer to 40 - it should have been 3! #QPR

@Joey7Barton i thout u said u you was moving to qpr to be part of an ambitious team? and your only looking for 40 points?
