It's been a marathon round. Hard to follow all the action. Almost as hard as to understand what the hell's going on in Carlos Tevez's head. Or in anybody's head involved with Man City.
However, the Argentine trouble's back. And it could be said he returned with a bang. Not that he scored versus Chelsea - but was one of the best performers. 24 minutes were enough to regain much of the lost love from the City's faithful. Comprensible? Yo no lo creo... Or something like that.
Even though City rose from the dead against Chelsea, the top spot is still in the hands of their bitter rivals. The red devils - who were seriously red-faced (so were the Citizens) after shameful display of power (personally I prefer Vulgar display of power) in Europe - wanted to hunt down some wolves.
But later they realized they had to shoot at some poodles. Obviously not everyone of the SAF's hunting squad wanted to be involved in this massacre, but the job was quickly done.
In fact so quickly that David De Gea, Jonny Evans and Rio Ferdinand soon sat down and played charades, while the ginger genius decided to erase the images of helpless doggies by watching Cosmo Kramer, George Costanza, "Mulva" and others doing their stuff in New York.
In other 29th round matches, someone called Sogoodsson buries Pogrebnyak&co., Wigan and WBA make internet history, Yakubu gets himself in the dictionary, Sebastian Coates makes people swear, and more.
P. S. Get well, Fabrice Muamba!
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 "29th edition". Here are some of the bits, which should shed some (different) light on the 29th round of EPL. I thank all the tweeps for contributing...
FULHAM - SWANSEA 0-3 (0-1)
@nialljgorton
At fulham game this afternoon...best song from Swansea fans: 'you're not s. Massey' to lino when he didn't give an offside
@devinpleuler
You pull off the inverted winger and bring on a classical winger, and what does he do? Cut inside. #fulham #frustrating
@johncrossmirror
Murphy on for blood stained Diarra after Fulham club shop complained they were running out of shirts. 0-2 Swansea
@3FiveTwo
#BPL #Fulham 0 #Swansea 3 - Goldy Sogoodson has hit a double against Fulham as they can close the gap on Liverpool.

WIGAN - WEST BROMWICH ALBION 1-1 (1-0)
@MirrorFootball
Wigan fans: in case you're unfamiliar, what you've got now is called a lead. 1-0 to the latics
@KarlreMarks
That Wigan 1-1 West Brom is trending worldwide should make you lose all faith in the system. This is the third most boring fact in history.
WOLVERHAMPTON - MANCHESTER UTD 0-5 (0-3)
@forevruntd
Congrats #Scholes!! He is now 3rd in the list of most appearances for United (689), behind Sir Bobby Charlton & Ryan Giggs. Legends. #mufc
@acrutd
Who's the Jonny evans impersonator with the passing ability of Paul Scholes in central defence? #MUFC
@CardinalPhink
I hare to see innocent animals suffer, gently puts wolves to sleep with a few comforting words #mufc
@liam_tomkins
This is the worst kind of football match to watch. It's like watching two boxers go at it, only one has no arms. #WWFC #MUFC

MANCHESTER CITY - CHELSEA 2-1 (0-0)
@OptaJoe
4 - Despite playing only 24 mins, no player in Man City-Chelsea created more chances than Carlos Tévez. Return
@OptaJoke
155 - Number of days it's taken Carlos Tevez to warm up for his latest Man City appearance. Return.
@roy_keane_Esq
What is it with the Man City fans crying at every game? Is it that they've just realised they're Man City fans?
@MarioBaloteLAD
Me and Yaya are gonna go and take Tevez out for a walk around Manchester now. Was gonna invite Di Matteo but he might let go of the lead
@ArgentinaFW
Noel Gallagher: "Aguero is a team player, he's a great goalscorer, he's got a nice smile, a good haircut, and he's from Argentina."
TOTTENHAM - STOKE CITY 1-1 (0-0)
@JustASpur
He's just as good as Hoddle, he's better than Chris Waddle, his missus is a model, he's Rafael van der Vaart. #COYS
@piersmorgan
Morning @Lord_Sugar - hearing catastrophic reports re your Apprentice ratings last night. A collapse of Spurs-like proportions. Ironically.
@OptaSpurs
68 - In the last three Premier League games, Spurs have had 68 attempts on goal but have scored just two goals. Barren. (via @EPLIndex)
@samuelj29060
Greatest ever Spurs side is below the worst ever Arsenal side. #afc #thfc
EVERTON - ARSENAL 0-1 (0-1)
@tryan874
Open love seeing all these arsenal fans celebrating going above tottenham by one point shows where they as a club

Using the Fernando Torres 'methodology' of goals to transfer fee ratio, Thomas Vermaelen is now worth £125m! #AtLeast! #Arsenal
@kenkeniff85
What's happened to all the arsenal fans that wanted wenger out??
@Orbinho
Arsenal have had 16 different goalscorers this season, the joint-most in the Premier League along with Everton & Man Utd. One-man team?
QUEENS PARK RANGERS - LIVERPOOL 3-2 (0-0)
@F365
The first chance you get to see Coates goal, take it. If you'll excuse us - holy f**king sh*t, that was special. #LFC
@RorySmithTimes
Sebastian Coates. Butter my onions. He must have a foot like a traction engine. #qpr 0-1 #lfc
@D_JACKAL11
Liverpool never Cisse to amaze me! #QPR
@KennyWFDLive
If Serie A rejects Taiwo and Cisse combine to score against you, you have no business thinking you are Champions Lge contenders. #LFC.
ASTON VILLA - BOLTON 1-2 (0-0)
@steviehannon
McLeish wasn't joking when when he said this was a 'transitional' season. We are changing divisions. #avfc
@kamshaheen
Messi misses. Ngog scores. What on earth is going on?! O_o
