Nope, it wasn't a good start of the new year for the Arse's fans. Although the Wengaboys played versus Fulham. In fact, later in that game it showed that Dempsey, Zamora, Ruiz are more "likeable" - even to the AFC's supporters - than Walcott, Arshavin, Djourou - not to mention Squillaci. Ooooh, he's so good! For the rivals, that is...
Tuesday was the day of a real derby. The Richie Riches hosted King Kenny and his lot. But his majesty was soon disappointed, especially with a man who should guard the most important part of the battlefield. This time, nickname "Pepe" did suite The Spaniard perfectly. But on the other side, the home supporters were satisfied, especially after they were rewarded - for abusing the Scousers - with Cigarettes&Alcohol (some say they consumed it through the ears... weirdos!).
Wednesday was full of crap for Manchester UTD. Wazza was shitty, Berba was shitty, midfielders were - yes, you guessed - shitty, defenders were - how should I put it - ah, shitty. Lindegaard was beaten three times, but not guilty at all. Magpies deservedly won. Ba, Cabaye, Tiote - brilliant! In fact so brilliant that even Howard Webb couldn't stop them.
In the other 20th round matches Swansea played in the library, Joey Barton likes Sister Act 2, Chelsea's defence is, well, good for making jokes, William Gallas was allegedly injured by Luis Suarez (in the same game Sisqo scored the winning goal), Martin O'Neill is Superman (despite constantly exposing himself to Kryptonite in form of Bendtner), very unlikely scorers at Goodison Park 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 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 "20th edition". Here are some of the bits, which should shed some (different) light on the 20th round of EPL. I thank all the tweeps for contributing...
ASTON VILA - SWANSEA 0-2 (0-1)
bradarmstrong_
we had 14 corners, couldnt score from any of them. what do we practice in training? cos it certainly isnt defending either #mcleishout #avfc
adamclarke501
So our European adventure once again comes to a disappointing end. #AVFC

"This is a library" chant the Swans fans, in response to the slightly subdued atmosphere at VP since the goal

1 - Wayne Routledge has scored his first ever Premier League goal, in what is his 116th appearance in the competition. Patience.
BLACKBURN - STOKE CITY 1-2 (0-2)
BrisRover
The culture of any business is set by those at the very top Sadly theres more culture in a Munch Bunch yoghurt than Venkys #brfc #venkysout
peteoconn
Probably best that Crouch didn't get his hat trick from that flowing passing move. Rugby teams don't score like that. #scfc #swinglow
QUEENS PARK RANGERS - NORWICH CITY 1-2 (1-1)
OptaJoke
15 - Number of tweets Joey Barton will send from the QPR dressing room during the rest of the game following his red card. Bitter.
StePortercomedy
Very cunning of Joey Barton to get himself sent off just as Sister Act 2 is starting on BBC1. hasn't the man got access to Iplayer?
WOLVERHAMPTON - CHELSEA 1-2 (0-0)

You know what is funny? Our defence. Bwahahahahahahahaha. #CFC

Has anyone told John Terry that he's in the Black Country? #CFC #Wolves

The only way that Chelsea celebration could have been more staged is if it was kissing Lisa Marie Presley at the VMAs. #cfc

Why are Chelsea taking him off; what's the Mata with him? #cfc
gavglicksman
Dear Chelsea, please remember how to build on a 1-0 lead. Here's a handy tip - score a bloody second before you concede #cfc
FULHAM - ARSENAL 2-1 (0-1)
mattpottinger
Theo Walcott's relationship with the final ball is a lot like mine with the G-spot #afc
mattycrouch
*MISSING* Brian Ruiz right foot. If found please contact Martin.Jol@fulham.com Reward offered. #onefootwonder #FFC #AFC #FULHAM

If Arsenal deducted £1 from Walcotts wages every time he hit an opposing player when shooting or crossing his wage would be £7 a week. #AFC

Per Mertesacker: White Men Can't Jump. #AFC

Absolute disgrace!Let's see if Henry can turn this around, actually bring back Bergkamp,Pires,Petite,Viera,Keown,Ljunberg and Seaman!! #afc
TOTTENHAM - WEST BROMWICH ALBION 1-0 (0-0)

I'm not drunk and I have no firearms pointed at my head BUT I really think #THFC could win the Premier League this year @TherealNihal #COYS
georgiebingham
Lord! In an attempt to get Harry's attention for a starting spot Jermain Defoe has bleached his hair Abel Xavier style #thfc
jac2689
No idea why Assou-Ekoto has different coloured boots on both feet. Colourblind or disastrous fashion sense. Possibly both. #THFC
malare42
VdV has runned more than any player in Spurs's 1st half. What's next? Downing to score at Etihad?! #thfc #lfc #mcfc
WayRilkins
William Gallas injured. Luis Suarez the prime suspect. My word. #thfc #lfc
mrcobberto
Didn't realise we had signed Sisqo as a new striker. Still, decent finish #COYS #THFC
WIGAN - SUNDERLAND 1-4 (0-1)
JakSmith_18
Posh Spice is a slapper, a slapper she was born and when she's shagging Beckham, she thinks of Davie Vaughan!!!! #SAFC
simonwinster
Wish Martin O'Neill would do one! Only good thing about him is his uncanny resemblance to Jims Dad #americanpie #safc
Sayer85
what a difference a top class manager makes! Under Bruce 11 points 14 games, under O'neil 13 points from 6 games! unbelievable! #safc
betonsportstips
Sunderland & Martin O'Neill starting to look like marriage made in heaven. 10th place despite Bendtner! O´Neill a true man manager #safc
MANCHESTER CITY - LIVERPOOL 3-0 (2-0)
SportsAbuse
Contrary to what you heard, Suarez IS available for the #mancity game. But he had his Aryan Brotherhood meeting tonight #Liverpool
MaattMills
Gerrard is just a cheap James Milner #happybirthdayMILNER #mancity
jamesgregg7
Watching Mancity vs Liverpl. So far I've seen 22 over-paid prima dona's throwing themselves in the floor, making praying gestures at the ref
Painter01
How can anyone not like Roberto Mancini? A great character that the Premier League needs. He's nearly as cool as Mick McCarthy! #mancity
SportsAbuse
Say what you like about #mancity, at least when they drop crazy money for a player it's not Andy Carroll
EVERTON - BOLTON 1-2 (0-0)
TEAMtalk
HOWARD GOAL (63): Howard's 75-yard punt up field catches wind and bounces over helpless Bogdan. Amazing scenes! #EFC 1 #BWFC 0.
kingkenny_7
Tim Howard is now just 2 goals behind Fernando Torres in the races for this season's Golden Boot. #lfc #efc #cfc
MatthewJRudd
Unlikely, even extraordinary scorer of a goal at Goodison Park tonight - David Ngog. #bwfc #efc
Sniffer_Prandy
Tim howard was 150\1 to score the 1st goal tonight - ngog was 250\1 to score at anytime! #efc #bwfc
EdFitter
Transfer Rumour: Liverpool to sign 'Wind' and T.Howard to replace Downing and Suarez respectively. #LFC #AVFC #EFC
NEWCASTLE UTD - MANCHESTER UTD 3-0 (1-0)
JustinHouareau
Lindegaard looks solid early on, good call by Fergie, that and bringing that Rooney guy back, heard he is handy, just a bad trainer #MUFC
WayRilkins
My word, Rooney has a splendid head of hair. I've been desperate to get a transplant myself but Mrs. Wilkins loves stroking my scalp. #MUFC
AaronDonnelly1
Rooney if that was a bacon sandwich or a prostitute you would of finished that chance! #mufc #nufc
geordiepolyglot
I would transfer Howard Webb into my fantasy team,but I'm already up to my quota of #mufc players #nufc
davidsedgwickNE
Howard Webb earning a contract extension there with #mufc, blatent penalty for a trip on Ba not given.
AlexRenshaw1
Rooney arguing with Howard Webb is the first argument between players on the same team at SJP since Bowyer and Dyer #nufc #mufc
duncanstoddart
Whoever does the medicals at stoke should be handed his p45 for not giving demba ba the green light!! What a finish!! #nufc #MUFC
Scubanova
No hairdryer at HT from Fergie...cos Phil Jones was using it #NUFC v #MUFC
efferal
United look like saying Cabaye-bye to their premier league title #mufc
whitty99
This performance has been as bad as Brosnan's singing in Mama Mia. We don't even look like scoring #mufc
