The 19th round of EPL's started on Friday. NUFC were visitors at Anfield Road. Alan Pardew put young Slovenian Haris Vuckic in the starting lineup. He was on the pitch for an hour or so - at the time he went off the score was 1-1. HBA then came in. The Toon Army were satisfied. Not for long though. Two quick goals sealed the victory for the Reds. If you wonder Andy Carroll scored... No, he didn't. He couldn't score even in the brothel (some say).
SAF celebrated his 70th birthday on Saturday. And, oh boy, what a present did he get! Mighty mighty Blackburn - managed by BRFC's fans' favourite (ha ha) - scored three and got three points. Yes, the chicken-flavoured team won! I hear the Red Devils, who were too slow for the 50 years old Yak, are already polishing champions' trophy and are getting ready to drop it at the Etihad Stadium.
One of the most boring sides in EPL (till today?), Aston Villa, caused another shock. The Birmingham boys slaughtered Chelsea at Stamford Bridge! So it must be true, you know, rooting for Chelsea and frigid girlfriend thing...
In the other 19th round matches someone looks like an old lady at the bus station, Anfield hosts alpine skiing, Jeckyll & Hyde reappear, Gary Caldwell is not very bright, Spurs' fans are still "fascinated" by lineswomen and more. On Sunday WBA and Everton sent us to purgatory and Sunderland give Fergie a late birthday present.
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 "19th edition". Here are some of the bits, which should shed some (different) light on the 19th round of EPL. I thank all the tweeps for contributing...
LIVERPOOL - NEWCASTLE UTD 3-1 (1-1)

why do #lfc fans bring cowbells to Anfield. it sounds like a Alpine skiing event not a football match. #nufc

Carroll sports the weakest beard of all time. Looks like a 17 year old who has never shaved. #NUFC

Was never a free kick for #lfc 2nd goal but fair play to Skrtel for some amazing defending. We still robbed you of £35million though #NUFC

Berbatov's goal is MUFC's 1500th goal in the Premier League. No other club has achieved this.

FUNNY (?) TWITTER RECAP OF THE 13th ROUND OF ENGLISH PREMIERLEAGUE
The club owners (and even the fans except Blackburn's) in England are quite patient regarding sacking their managers this fall. Maybe the reason is Steve Kean. Everybody's expected him to be sacked already and therefore on the market. You make your own conclusions...
Venky's got another reason to kick him in the behind after the Stoke City match, but at the moment of writing he's still there. I mentioned the Stoke - Rovers match... Obviously no one expected a cracker. Or why would they recruit additional air traffic controllers?
One of the candidates for getting his employment status corrected to "unemployed" is Bolton's Owen Coyle, but their fans still showing him some support. Fear of Kean is too strong.
Even Steve Bruce is on his way out. His Sunderland suffered a home defeat against mighty Wigan. Nothing went the right way at the Stadium of light, the players of the "fat geordie bastard" lost, even their fans mixed up Italy and Spain.
Queens Park Rangers thought they could win in Norwich but they hit the Brazilian wall. Namely, the Canaries are hugely popular in Brazil (for some reason most of the country wears yellow) and the South American support for the home team was too much even for the QPR owner.
But there were some funny tweets about the other 13th round matches, too. Read a joke about Torres and his highlights, Sepp Blatter always puts a smile on your face, THFC fans apologize to the man whose mom was doing, well, a naughty job, Mario Balotelli proved that blondes are less fortunate regarding the hair-colour and more...
But let me finish on a more serious note: Gary Speed RIP.

FUNNY (?) TWITTER RECAP OF THE 11th ROUND OF ENGLISH PREMIERLEAGUE
"Twenty-five years in charge... What should I get him? A pack of chewing gum? He surely likes chewing. But wait. It would be too cheap. A hairdryer? Well, I'm a bit worried he would give me one of his then... A bottle of fine highland whisky? Nah, he's red-nosed enough."
The dilemma ruined Wesley Brown's sleep. He didn't want to disappoint his former manager once again. So he asked his current gaffer (also former Red Devil) Steve Bruce for advice. After a couple of hours thinking about the suitable gift, Bruce said to his defender: "Think, Wes, what can you do best?"
Not so young Wesley started doing some more thinking, after a while thanked him and said: "Oooh, it's going to be a real surprise!" Sadly though, hours later no one was really surprised. As he scored an own goal. Oh, yes, he's good at scoring them. But anyway, it was the perfect gift for SAF! And Wesley was happy again.
The other weekend stories were also quite entertaining. Arsenal claim they do not need a Batman's help, Newcastle is in the same class as Barcelona, Juventus and ManCity, Alex McLeish should be the next celebrity face in the Head&Shoulders commercial, Steve Kean really scared Blackburn fans during Halloween, Mario Balotelli joined Luis Suarez in diving team, Benoit Assou-Ekotto looks up to Marge Simpson 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...

@FOXSoccerTrax: In happier signs, Arsenal fans have a banner up that reads: "WE DON'T NEED BATMAN, WE HAVE ROBIN."

Blackburn ban banners at Ewood, so fans hire plane to fly overhead with big "Steve Kean Out" banner.

Steve Kean was out Scaring Blackburn fans last night. He was dressed as a contract extension.

Newcastle sell Carroll for £35m and improve dramatically. Liverpool buy him and draw at home to Sunderland, Norwich and Swansea. Comment?

What do you get if you cross a ball to Andy Carroll? A goal-kick

KAI SPORTS NEWS: After many years at Old Trafford, Wes Brown finally comes good for United by scoring in his own net for Sunderland.

You can always rely on Wes Brown and Steve Bruce to give their team 3 points, as they did again yesterday.

#ManUtd whip round for SirAlex 25 years in charge - Wes Brown chipping in with O.G. Really Wes you shouldn't have, potplant would have done!

Wow Balotelli, it seems like you are Suarez' the biggest rival... in diving.

Shocking from Wigan. So many times they could have scored but lack of decent finishers cost them massively. Relegated unless Messi signs

Looks like Wigan have been taking tips on finishing from Liverpool

The dilemma ruined Wesley Brown's sleep. He didn't want to disappoint his former manager once again. So he asked his current gaffer (also former Red Devil) Steve Bruce for advice. After a couple of hours thinking about the suitable gift, Bruce said to his defender: "Think, Wes, what can you do best?"
Not so young Wesley started doing some more thinking, after a while thanked him and said: "Oooh, it's going to be a real surprise!" Sadly though, hours later no one was really surprised. As he scored an own goal. Oh, yes, he's good at scoring them. But anyway, it was the perfect gift for SAF! And Wesley was happy again.
The other weekend stories were also quite entertaining. Arsenal claim they do not need a Batman's help, Newcastle is in the same class as Barcelona, Juventus and ManCity, Alex McLeish should be the next celebrity face in the Head&Shoulders commercial, Steve Kean really scared Blackburn fans during Halloween, Mario Balotelli joined Luis Suarez in diving team, Benoit Assou-Ekotto looks up to Marge Simpson 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 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 "11th edition". Here are some of the bits, which should shed some (different) light on the 11th round of EPL. I thank all the tweeps for contributing...
