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...
WOLVERHAMPTON - NORWICH CITY 2-2 (1-1)

Dear MoTD...please don't promote how good @holty30 actually is. Us #NCFC already know, and if you tell other people, they might buy him. Ta

8 - Wolves have won eight and lost none of the last 12 matches against Norwich at Molineux. Savaged.
InfostradaLive
Four of Ronald Zubar's six top flight goals in England and France have been scored in the last 10 minutes of matches.
BLACKBURN - BOLTON 1-2 (0-2)
TheArsenal
Shouldn't Blackburn fans be venting their anger at the chicken owners? It isn't Kean's fault that he's not a football manager.
choccy2972
It would be entertaining if the DJ at Blackburn plays "I predict a riot" at half time
mrcraiglyons
Blackburn are making Bolton look like a top 6 side and Ngogg look like Ronaldhino #elsackio
ASTON VILLA - ARSENAL 1-2 (0-1)
ArsenalColumn
Dear Mr. Wenger: There's a skinny guy sitting behind you who looks like The Scream. His name is Yossi Benayoun. For Moses' sake, PLAY HIM!
ID_ARSENAL
FT .. Arsenal wrap it up 1-2 .. Good job in Birmingham. Hutton red card. Nice christmas gift direct from Israel, Yossi Benayoun
1burnm
Yossi Benayoun is a wonderful footballer but he looks like he needs a good square meal.

Albrighton gets to donate £20,000 to a charity of his choice for scoring the 20,000 goal. Does McLeish's transfer budget count as charity?
block6gooner
Nice stat from @F365 Alex McLeish has won 6 premier league games from his last 30 as a manager
MANCHESTER CITY - STOKE CITY 3-0 (2-0)
danwalkerbbc
#MCFC v #SCFC 1. City's GD is +38 already 2. Aguero has significant thighs 3. Stoke were pummelled 4. Thronker from Johnson
aguerosergiokun
I hear it's the first time in 82 years that @MCFC leads the scoreboard on Christmas. I'm honoured to be part of this achievement

Mancini popped in to discipline Mario by spanking him with a large trout. John Terry was watching through the window dressed as Hitler #MCFC
NEWCASTLE UTD - WEST BROMWICH ALBION 2-3 (1-2)
DominicKing_DM
Sure this hasn't been lost on #NUFC fans but Newcastle haven't won a game since mad decision to re-name stadium was announced on November 9
GeorgeCaulkin
By my (incorrect) reckoning Ba has scored 56% of NUFC gls this season. Jan, when he leaves for Afr N Cup, a huge month for many reasons.
JBChaleboyHPP
Newcastle sold Andy Carroll for £35 million, and then went and got Demba Ba in on a free. Mike Ashley needs some sort of award for this.
Nadeem9T1
Goal machine Demba Ba and now Vuckic coming through for Newcastle. Makes the 35m for Carroll even more hilarious if that's possible
nufcfans
AP on Vuckic: "He was terrific. He had two terrific efforts and I think he showed everybody that he’s going to be a player for us for sure”
Stevo_football
Haris Vuckic's left foot is a staggeringly brilliant addition to the PL. Two 30-yard screamers, one hit bar + one tipped over. He's only 19.
EVERTON - SWANSEA 1-0 (0-0)
F365
Wait just a second there....Everton have scored. A goal. Everton have scored a goal.
FULHAM - MANCHESTER UTD 0-5 (0-3)

Wayne Rooney makes his 300th #EPL appearance at the age of 26 years and 58 days - the youngest to reach this milestone in the #PL #MUFC
josephganley
Wayne Rooney's goal tonight makes him the first #mufc player since the war to score 15 or more goals in eight consecutive seasons.
Special1TV
Dear Santa (6): Sorry Santa...those cabinets - smaller one for #MUFC ... #AFC still okay with last years as it's good as new #ExpectJose
LauraKane89
50th player to score 50 goals for Manchester United = Dimitar Berbatov. #mufc
caughtoffside
Bang, that is the sound of a COS employee remembering they have a Fulham defender in their Fantasy Football team #FFC v #MUFC
QUEENS PARK RANGERS - SUNDERLAND 2-3(0-1)
SCFCRoss
What a tremendous stat. Sunderland have as many players on bail as they do wins this season #SAFC
YoungGunsBlog
Nicklas Bendtner heads Sunderland in front against #QPR, after Martin O'Neill asked him to 'score goals and behave himself'. Good start.
OptaJoe
34% - QPR have posted the worst shooting accuracy in the 2011-12 Premier League. Costly.
WIGAN - LIVERPOOL 0-0
MrJimmyCorkhill
Now if Suarez was a racist, he would have taken that penno and volleyed it straight at the keeper's head #LFC
talkSPORTDrive
Alan Hansen apologises for using an inappropriate term on MotD. I suppose LFC players will have Hansen tshirts for the Boxing Day warm up...
TOTTENHAM - CHELSEA 1-1 (1-1)
jonbirchall
Bale is so brilliantly basic. His game, much like his body and face, is just a succession of right-angles clunked together #thfc
shaunmalley
Adebayor! Adebayor! He's hung like an elephant, and he knows how to score! #coys #thfc
marksyx
adebayor adebayor - city pay half his wages 'cause we are too poor! COYS #thfc
lukeymoore
We all know why John Terry didn't want to get too close to Adebayor for that Spurs goal, don't we?
brentwafc
Thinking #thfc would Defo have fastest 4x100 relay team in the prem bale lennon walker Defoe
WillieGannon
Feels a bit like 1991. Smashing Pumpkins-Stone Roses-Rage Against the Machine & Radiohead are all doing gigs soon and #THFC are good again!
inspectorsaab
When my granny asks what city the football match is goin on in.. shes hinting at wanting to change the channel #thfc #cfc #skysports

John terry quoted saying "I can't be racist, some of my best friends wives are black"
