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)
Pete_Webster
why do #lfc fans bring cowbells to Anfield. it sounds like a Alpine skiing event not a football match. #nufc
NewcastleUtdGFT
Carroll sports the weakest beard of all time. Looks like a 17 year old who has never shaved. #NUFC
BigAlFoz
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
AshMeikle
It's nice to see Craig Bellamy has a good grasp of the Queens English after being on the end of a Colocini elbow. #lfc #nufc
LukaMaselj
“You couldn't score in a brothel!." #nufc fans chant about Andy #Carroll :-) #lfc
MANCHESTER UTD - BLACKBURN 2-3 (0-1)
MirrorFootball
Hearing unconfirmed reports Rooney not in the side so he can jump out of Fergie's cake at half-time
LiveWireSport
Cole, Keane and Diouf on bench for #mufc today. Larnell, Will and Mame mind you - bit like those films with Dave Swayze and Ted Stallone.

No #wazza again ?! Hope we can still digest the chicken !#MUFC
tvaughn7
That was incredibly dumb Nani. So is that haircut. You will never be Ronaldo until you master the hair #MUFC
CP_Jock
Beep beep beep. You can hear the Blackburn bus reversing into place it's that quiet #MUFC
derekhumphries
agree. Berbatov should ditch the silk dressing gown “@johnlepp: We just look a little too casual out there... #mufc”
Vanja_MUFC
Berbatov's goal is MUFC's 1500th goal in the Premier League. No other club has achieved this.
Boormanboy
With performances like this shall we just shine the Premier League trophy and drop it at the Etihad Stadium for them? #MUFC
ARSENAL - QUEENS PARK RANGERS 1-0 (0-0)
siefuyoyo8
Alan Shearer: 36 goals in 42 games in 1995. Robin van Persie: 35 goals in 36 games in 2011. Enough said. #RVP #AFC #football #EPL #soccer

When I take over from Murdoch I'm going to make it compulsory for commentators to refer to Neil Warnock as Colin Wanker.
BOLTON - WOLVERHAMPTON 1-1 (1-0)
StanCollymore
Only Chelsea,Man City,Man United,Arsenal & Spurs have scored more than Blackburn. Only Bolton have conceded more. Jeckyll & Hyde.
InfostradaLive
Steven Fletcher is the first player from Wolverhampton Wanderers to score five Premier League goals in a single month.

CHELSEA - ASTON VILLA 1-3 (1-1)
ChrisCav1985
@timlovejoyTalks between #CFC and Gary Cahill have broken down due to wage demands. He wants 120k p/w because he scores more than torres
blairvsshark
Supporting Chelsea is like having a really, really attractive, but completely frigid girlfriend. #CFC

I hope the idiot who walked into the pitch isn't someone else's father. #AV #cfc #Blues #Chelsea
themaxbar
What's the difference between Ashley Cole and Cheryl Cole? Cheryl is good in every position. #cfc
timblues363
So... I didn't realise #cfc transitional season was a transition from a good team to poor team. Not what we or Roman had in mind, I'm sure.
NORWICH CITY - FULHAM 1-1 (0-1)
jam13rel
Norwich need a goal to get back in this, so why is Simeon Jackson still on the bench???
CanadaSoccerEN
Simeon Jackson strikes again! Jacko heads home in the 94th minute to pull Norwich level, 1-1 with Fulham. Go on Simeon! #canMNT
eddietheshoe
If you try to sit on a one goal lead with zero attacking intent & you get done in the last minute you deserve it Martin #Jol. #ffc
STOKE CITY - WIGAN 2-2 (0-1)
Geiiiir
Gary Caldwell go to the naughty corner write 20000 lines "I mustn't jump at the ball with my hands out like a volleyballer in the box' #wafc
LiamTootill
I'll take the point. Honours even. Ben Watson special team apparently. #wafc
SWANSEA - TOTTENHAM 1-1 (0-1)

EFC only playin 9 defenders today come on Moyes you can squeeze another one in its the mighty WBA FFS!
JohnnyTheNic
Players not allowed to drink 72 hours b4 a game. Would WBA v EFC really be worse if all 22 were drunk?
Ballsybanter
Foster flaps at the ball in a loving tribute to David De Gea and nearly gifts #efc the opening goal. #wba
RushianLFC
Is the definition of purgatory WBA v Everton lunchtime kick off on New Year's Day?
OptaJoke
25,490 - Number of WBA & Everton fans who wished they hadn't bothered getting up so early to go to the Hawthorns. Goalless

"Supporters may be watching through a bit of a haze, maybe the best way to watch it". David Pleat (WBA v EFC)
SUNDERLAND - MANCHESTER CITY 1-0 (0-0)

O'Neill's 31 tracksuit v Mancini's suit and scarf combo - like the dad in the Merc overtaking your old man's Mondeo... #safc #mcfc

Why didn't Seb Larsson just wait 20 yds so he was on the pitch instead of spitting all over that nice green carpet!!! #safc
snudger12
If bendtner was half as good as he thinks he is, he'd be twice as good as he actually is #safc

This match is like the forces of Mordor battering Minas Tirith, but with less success #MCFC #SAFC
samuelluckhurst
City fans are chanting 'They're here, they're there, they're every-f*****g-where, empty seats! Empty seats!' Golden irony. #mcfc #safc
ItsMe_Elliott
I'm Jack Colback, I'm about twelve, play centre midfield but have made Adam Johnson look average whilst playing left back #safc
kJamesy
That Ji should do a Sung Park. Run into their penalty area and fall down in slow motion. Penalty. Always works. #safc

Martin O'Neill, I love you, I want to kiss your cherry lips and nibble your shell-like ears. #SAFC
