You know when you start a day pissed off, everything is gray, lifeless, boring, you're going through an everyday routine... And half a day later you come home properly drunk with a smoking hot bird, who shags like a pro (whatever that means) and leaves shortly after sex, saying "You can have me whenever you want! No obligations!" Shortly put: a beast of a day turns into a beauty!
And all that could be put into a description of the Manchester City - Tottenham match. After a dull 1st half, by which even some fans of both teams were made to watch rugby, the 2nd was a cracker! Five goals, 2-0 City up, Jermain Defoe and Gareth Bale scored for 2-2, couple of big chances for both teams, some red-card-ish incidents, and finally a last minute penalty for Mario Balotelli, who scored for a big (but undeserved perhaps?) win. Why always him?
The other Sunday derby was played in London at the Emirates. It wasn't as fun as a "booze-bird-no-obliagtion-sex" thing. But it was a decent encounter, in which even RVP made a fool of himself. But the man of the match for the Red Devils was Andrey Arshavin, who - instead of knocking him out - just watched penetrating Antonio Valencia, like he was a leper or something. Or was it Arsene Wenger who should take the blame? Namely, why on Earth would someone in a tough fight replace an ox with a meerkat?
Also in 22nd round: Fernando Torres is devilish, Blackburn lift their hopes with a modest&good willy (?), Clint Dempsey makes everyone forget about George Washington, Sunderland fans reminds the Toon Army it's quite late (it's a funny one!), Robbie Keane dedicates his goals to... erm... everyone (?), Liverpool are hit with a big blow (no, it has nothing to do with a loss v Bolton), 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 "22nd edition". Here are some of the bits, which should shed some (different) light on the 22nd round of EPL. I thank all the tweeps for contributing...
NORWICH - CHELSEA 0-0

CFC please send Torres to the Reebok on loan. You know he'll come back a goal scorer.#Sturridge#Wilshire
ChrisReevo
Credit to #CFC support Vs #NCFC yesterday- "We'd rather have Grant Holt" in response to Torres missing a sitter was class banter.

The game between #ncfc and #cfc entered PL record books yesterday for not having a single foul recorded in the 1st half! #wearemassive #

"sweet Caroline" Steve Morison num-ber- five cross the ball and he will score Steve Morison num-ber-five leaves defenders on the floor#ncfc

666 - Fernando Torres has just missed his 666th attempt on goal for Chelsea. Devilish.
EVERTON - BLACKBURN 1-1 (1-0)
RichardACoyle
No point complaining Kean. Fellaini is like gerraaaard, the rules of the game don't actually apply to him.
BrianSeal
My hope is one day to see Fellaini, Luiz, and Puyol all starting for the same team.
RavWilding
I don't do football, but heard on my tv a player called "Goodwillie" does this mean there is a female tennis player called "nicebottom" ? ..
MikeyDelap
So we've got an upfront partnership of Modeste Goodwillie. That's how good we are... We're humble and boastful all at the same time. #Rovers
FULHAM - NEWCASTLE UTD 5-2 (0-1)
MartinLipton
Jol: 1st 1/2 was Brixton; 2nd a holiday to Barbados. Pardew: No complaints, not good enough #ffc #nufc

Clint Dempsey - best American ever born. That is all. #ffc
OptaJack
1 - Clint Dempsey has become the first USA player to score a hat-trick in the English Premier League. History.
QUEENS PARK RANGERS - WIGAN 3-1 (2-0)

Best moment at#QPR yesterday @Joey7Barton duffing his corner into the side-netting, whilst laughing at his new #hetweetswhathewants song :)

Next weekend is the annual Wigan Athletic winter break. Also known as FA Cup 4th round day! #wafc

THE LAST TIME WBA BEAT STOKE WAS 30 YEARS AGO, IT'S NOW 6 HOURS AGO!

Hahaha, looking through all my old pictures, and in one folder I have 58 pictures of Graham Dorrans. Du du du, super Graham Dorrans
SUNDERLAND - SWANSEA 2-0 (1-0)

Oh look it's 5-2 eleven!! #safc

Stephane Sessegnon, clambering out of a manhole with a copy of Will Self’s ‘The Book Of Dave’ clenched between his teeth.
WOLVERHAMPTON - ASTON VILLA 2-3 (2-1)
FourFourTom
Robbie Keane has scored his first goal for his boyhood club Aston Villa. It's just a shame it's against Wolves, his boyhood club.
OptaJoe
7 - Robbie Keane has become only the seventh player to score in the Premier League for six different clubs. Supporter.
OptaJoke
26 - Robbie Keane has dedicated his brace of goals today to his 26 boyhood clubs. Inevitable.
BOLTON - LIVERPOOL 3-1 (2-1)

Love this stat: Stewart Downing has more arrests than assists this season. #LFC #YNWA #mufc #efc
IanDoyleSport
Liverpool have now made Blackburn, Bolton and Wigan look good inside a month. That is some going. #lfc #brfc #bwfc #wafc
RedsGoMarchin
gave my brain a good soak in vodka today as a way of diluting/cleansing my memories of the game last night. Feel much better #LFC *hiccup*
FrankLampardUK
Big blow for #LFC. Andy Carroll won't be able to take part in the African Cup of Nations because he isn't African.
kLFCreds
If I'm King Kenny, I'm handing Craig Bellamy a Golf club and locking the team in a room. Whatever happens after that is not my problem.
MANCHESTER CITY - TOTTENHAM 3-2 (0-0)

Kaboul looks like a cross between Laurence Fishburne and that chubby old wrestler, Viscera. #mcfc #thfc

#ChrisColeman reminds me of my dad, can't pronounce anyone's name correctly!! #daSilva #Bolocelli #THFC #MCFC

Gareth Bale shouldn't leave his banana skins lying about, then he wouldn't slip over! #THFC
Ballsybanter
Goal! Another superb ball from David Silva, and Julian/Jolean/Julie-ann Lescott bundles it home. #mcfc 2, #thfc 0.
Daniel_C_Roy
I wonder if he had his ears pinned back to reduce aerodynamic drag Gareth Bale could actually break the sound barrier. #thfc #MCFC
RorySmithTimes
Well. Bugger me with a fishfork. Balotelli wins and converts last minute penalty. #mcfc 3-2 #thfc
henrywinter
That's brutal on #thfc. Undeserved. Balotelli could have been sent off, could face FA charge tomo, gets/scores winning pen. Why always him?
ARSENAL - MANCHESTER UTD 1-2 (0-1)
plasticpaddyAK
What's all this with handshakes and cuddling? Bring back Keane and Vieria and some big tackles #MUFC #AFC
TheKman84
I suspect Ryan Giggs will play a huge roll today for the Red Devils. Or maybe he'll just bang a bunch of tramps...whatever... #MUFC
PaulMooreEsq
How will Americans ever "get" football if the studio guest expert for the #afc #mufc match is Piers Morgan?
WiMason
How wrong is it that Walcott can now claim to be an 'ankle braker' with his tricks?! #AFC #MUFC

"Nani"; Portugese for "When he should shoot,he passes.When he should pass,he shoots.When he should cross,he passes to 1st defender" #MUFC

Johnny Evans made the same mistake as his mother. Kept his legs open. #mufc
NazimTasadiq
Masterstroke by Wenger. 1-1, got #mufc on ropes. Decide2take best threat off &bring on Arshavin who messes up4 Wellbecks goal. Genius. #afc
