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...
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 "25th edition". Here are some of the bits, which should shed some (different) light on the 25th round of EPL. I thank all the tweeps for contributing...
MANCHESTER UTD - LIVERPOOL 2-1 (0-0)
@ManUtdStuff
Roy Keane: "If I was playing, if Incey was playing, if Sparky was playing: Suarez ends the game wishing he'd shaken hands." #MUFC
@MissEJHarvey
Please have some respect for Wayne Rooney. He is, after all, the worlds only surviving brain donor.
@BernardMannlng
Wayne Rooney turned up for the Grammies last night and was very disappointed. Apparently he misread the invite.
@eddo75
Good weekend for Wayne Rooney. A brace against Liverpool on Saturday and The Granny awards on TV last night
BLACKBURN - QUEENS PARK RANGERS 3-2 (3-0)
@OptaJoe
39% - Yakubu has the best conversion rate of any regular player in the Premier League this season. Attack.
@AnnieEaves
QPR in real trouble. They've bought players not a team. Like when you go to the supermarket, spend a fortune, and realise you've no meals.
BOLTON - WIGAN 1-2 (0-1)
@CptnPyjamaPants
Owen Coyle is 5/1 in the sack race. Tempted.
@SkySportsFraser
Phone rang during Roberto Martinez press conf. Someone shouted "It's the FA!" Roberto said "Tell them I'm not available!"
@OptaJoe
20 – Bolton Wanderers committed the most fouls today, while Wigan have committed the most this season (326). Sinners.
EVERTON - CHELSEA 2-0 (1-0)
@MatthewCSpence1
@jamesaleung Suarez = dickhead! Everton = the boys!! "Neva felt more like singin the blues, when Everton win and Liverpool lose!
@OptaJoe
2 - The last time Everton won two consecutive home league games was May 2011; their wins were against Manchester City & Chelsea. Repeat.
@philmcnulty
Mancini says didn't prepare right & Man City lose at Everton. AVB says more or less same as Chelsea lose. What is it they don't know about?
@tonymunday1
Will AVB be at Chelsea next season? More importantly when will BOSINGWA stop pretending to be a full back?
FULHAM - STOKE CITY 2-1 (2-0)
@OptaJoe
1 - Pavel Pogrebnyak is the first player to score on his Fulham Premier League debut since David Healy in August 2007. Import.
@OptaJoe
20% - Stoke City posted the worst shooting accuracy today and also for the season as a whole (34%). Wayward.
SUNDERLAND - ARSENAL 1-2 (0-0)
@waleedabunada
The last 4 goals Aaron Ramsey scored for Arsenal killed Osama Bin Laden, Muammar Gaddafi, Steve Jobs and Whitney Houston the next day. #afc
@LethalBizzle
Can someone make a Thierry Henry mask & put it on Chamack and send him to NY red bulls? #DENCHENRY
@OptaJoke
503,226 - Number of Arsenal fans who will have unsuitable dreams about Thierry Henry tonight. Va-va-voom.
SWANSEA - NORWICH CITY 2-3 (1-0)
@blowersh
Fantastic to wake up to Swansea 2 The Canaries 3!!! What a terrific season they're having! A good, wholesome blend of Stephen Fry & Delia!!!
@seanreidHSR
Grant Holt and Danny Graham have all scored equal (Holt) and more (Graham) goals then Darren Bent. Guess which one will go to the Euro's?
TOTTENHAM - NEWCASTLE UTD 5-0 (4-0)
@R_o_M
Adebayor is a quality player when he fancies it. Really seems to fancy it at Spurs, doesn't he. 23 games, 10 goals, 11 assists.
@InfostradaLive
Newcastle record their biggest PL defeat since losing 6-0 at Manchester United in January 2008. #spurs #PL
@F365
Spurs players tickling Adebayor after he scored, like he's a playful dog. Lovely. More of this sort of thing please.
WOLVERHAMPTON - WEST BROMWICH ALBION 1-5 (1-1)
@OptaJoe
8 - Roy Hodgson's 8 PL away wins as West Brom gaffer in one year, match his 3-year tally with Liverpool (1) & Fulham (7). Kinetosis.
@empiremagazine
Sorry to hear that Mick McCarthy's been sacked. Liam Neeson is hot favourite to take over, as he has a good track record with Wolves. #BOOM
ASTON VILLA - MANCHESTER CITY 0-1 (0-0)
@StupidFootball
Aston Villa are going to go defensive against Man City. They're starting Emile Heskey.
@MirrorFootball
GOAL! Aston Villa 0-1 Manchester City - Lescott scores against his boyhood club. Robbie Keane not happy
