FUNNY (?) TWITTER RECAP OF THE 26th ROUND OF ENGLISH PREMIERLEAGUE

English Premierleague might not be the best in the world regarding football quality. But it is by far the most entertaining! All the sceptics should've watched London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham.

My God, it was all pleasure. For the visitors only in the first 34 minutes I should add. Yes, it had looked like 'Arry would add more misery to the Gunners. But the next English manager blew it up in the 2nd half. With using questionable tactics he kicked himself in the teeth. Hard.

You must've done something wrong if Theo Walcott, who is hated even by the Arse supporters, scored. Twice, for that matter. Even the Bruce "almighty" Willis couldn't save the Spurs. Yes, this time it was all too powerful Yossi Benayoun who used the famous line: "Yipikayey, Martha Focker!"

Now I should mention the Merseyside derby, which was postponed to today - March 13th. Not a good day for David Moyes and his 10th anniversary as Everton's manager. But a really good one for Stevie G - played his 400th PL match in LFC shirt and scored a hat-trick. No wonder some Kop-like fans would tuck him in. With their wives in the same bed, that is.

In other 26th round matches Frank Lampard's milestones go unnoticed (or maybe just the volume button on my telly is broken - no sound whatsoever), Kevin Doyle finds a post-football career, QPR are obviously thinking about joining the NFL (or why would you need 40+ players?), Mario Balotelli reveals a new t-shirt (something about selling your virginity or... well, google it), two dinosaurs, one found in Wales, one in Salford, kill the canaries in their cage, 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 "26th edition". Here are some of the bits, which should shed some (different) light on the 26th round of EPL. I thank all the tweeps for contributing...

LIVERPOOL - EVERTON 3-0 (1-0)

I know Liverpool are a joke, but having Adam Sandler at left back is taking it a bit far. #efc #lfc

FUNNY (?) TWITTER RECAP OF THE 25th ROUND OF ENGLISH PREMIERLEAGUE

This version is a bit shorter due to an unexpected extension of a business trip to Montenegro. A lot of snow - a lot of trouble. Even regarding writing the blog.

One thing that must be outlined is the derby of the round. Which was won by Manchester United. Wayne Rooney to be more precise. Scored a brace. But most fans were again more impressed by his hair and even eyelashes.

In other matches Peter Odemwingie and his team-mates caused a sack of a popular bloke, called Mick McCarthy, AVB takes another step towards his sacking, Aaron Ramsey is somewhat apocalyptic, Emmanuel Adebyor likes tickling, 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...

FUNNY (?) TWITTER RECAP OF THE 24th ROUND OF ENGLISH PREMIERLEAGUE

I remember the times when some Arse's fans demanded Arsene Wenger's ass to be kicked out of their beloved club. Oh, wait, that was just four days ago! So, how come couple of days later he's a genius again, a mastermind again, the best in the world again (you got the point)?

Remarkably, the (new) turning point was Blackburn, a multiple European champion, a power-house in recent years, a team that everyone fears! Well, I may be exaggerating a bit... The Gunners really justified the cannon in their logo, scoring seven (three by RPG... I mean the penetrating RVP), being the superior team, but come on! There were only 10 Venky's chickens to fight with. In the 2nd half, that is. I wonder if that French grasshopper will still be glorified after a next week's fixture.

Arsenal will visit the Stadium of Light. Which is unbelievably bright these days. Some say, the Messiah's been around. The others say, the same Messiah made a pact with the devil. Whatever. The point is, Sunderland are brilliant after the Martin O'Neill's appointment. 22 points of a possible 30. They must be doing something right. And the Arsenal match will be a proper test. For both of them: the Tracksuit and the Sleeping-bag.

I should mention the clash between Chelsea and Manchester UTD. Pure drama! Chelski 3-0 up (Juan Mata scored with a beautiful volley), then two penalties - yes, Howard Webb was the referee - for the Red Devils (Wayne Rooney, who now lost his hair at the sides of his head, converted them brilliantly), Chicharito later scored for 3-3. And that's how it finished.

In other 24th round matches Andrew Surman's messing with the fans' bladders, Swans have a serious English fire-power, Manchester City are missing Hyde, Gabriel Obertan, whose teammate Papiss Cisse scored a cracker, is better as interpreter than as footballer, and much more. Liverpool - Tottenham? It was all about a cat, really.

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 23rd ROUND OF ENGLISH PREMIERLEAGUE

Surely you didn't expect that one day Darron Gibson will be fans' favourite. Manchester United's fans that is. But in the 23rd round of EPL THAT happened. Gibson's hasn't been wearing MUFC's shirt for quite a while now... So, how is this possible, you ask.

Well, it's like that. Gibson scored a winner for Everton against Manchester City. Aaah... Here's the catch. Yes, indeed. And by scoring with that thunderous strike of his he made things interesting again. At the top. Both Manchester clubs are now leveled at 54 points.

While City were possibly distracted by a man handcuffing himself to the goal-post, United did their job as expected. Stoke hardly saw the ball, but they could clearly hear the chants glorifying once hated Gibson. Maybe that distracted them... Who would know... David De Gea surely not. He was out as he caught cold or something. How is this possible, you ask. De Gea actually catching something? Strange days, indeed.

Adding to that Andy Carroll scored, and Gabriel Obertan scored, too. Wow, the end is near! In other 23rd matches Swansea turns Chelsea into a bunch of Lee Catermoles, Wigan prefers the league table in alphabetical order, Tchoyi is like schizophrenic racehorse, Leo Messi and Pele were playing in Sunderland, 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 "23rd edition". Here are some of the bits, which should shed some (different) light on the 23rd round of EPL. I thank all the tweeps for contributing...

SWANSEA - CHELSEA 1-1 (1-0)

@MirrorFootball
Shouldn't be surprised - this is the traditionally one day of the year on which Andy Carroll actually moves
