Easter holidays. Plenty of food, plenty of football. That's why this is a "double". After these two rounds of EPL it is pretty much clear that MUFC's 20th title is just seconds of downloading away.
Or is it? What the red ones showed against Wigan was not exactly champions' performance. Tottenham disappointed, too. In fact they were so poor, that the fans took the opportunity and did a fire-drill. Of some sort.
Anyhow, there were a lot of good tweets this week, so I will not bother you anymore. Scroll down and you might get a tear or two in the eye... A little teaser: even Andy Carroll and Ron Jeremy are down there. In the same tweet!
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 "32nd/33rd edition". Here are some of the bits, which should shed some (different) light on the 32nd and 33rd round of EPL. I thank all the tweeps for contributing...
32nd round
SWANSEA CITY - NEWCASTLE UTD 0-2 (0-1)
@OptaJoe
66 - Papiss Demba Cisse has the best current minutes/goal ratio in Premier League history. Hotshot.
@MirrorFootball
All we are saying, is don't give Papiss a chance...
@waggo8
What do Papiss Cisse and Andy Carroll have in common?Nothing @itsyourboyadey

Swansea game was like the Indiana Jones Scene where this swordsman does all the fancy sword swinging and Jones just shoots him

FUNNY (?) TWITTER RECAP OF THE 31st ROUND OF ENGLISH PREMIERLEAGUE
As the season progresses it seems that red will be THE colour. Despite Steve Kean put everyone in the bus (double-decker in fact) and parked it in front of his goalkeeper, creatures from hell (well, aren't they the devils or something) got what they came for.
They even didn't need help from Beelzebub (the latter even tried to eliminate one of his men, but, luckily for the ginger one, his lasers didn't work), although he was there - just in case. You didn't notice him? Maybe the telly misled you. Namely, they also call him Howard Webb. Anyway, the devils with great wings (they even have names for them - Young and Valencia) are flying high.
On the other hand, the oil-fueled blue moon is in somewhat descending mode. The experts' evaluation of the current situation of the richest (Manchester-based) not-so-natural satellite is -5. One of the reasons for getting more and more into the cold is B-52. Its Danish version is causing mayhem across the EPL - lately by air-strikes. And the before mentioned moon was not an exception.
In other 31st round matches, one of the Norwich City players causes damage to speakers, one of the Arse's players should be sacrificed, one of the Bolton players imitates Liam Neeson, one of the Liverpool players is dazed and confused by black&white combination, one of the Tottenham players is not a chronically idle clown with the first touch of a concrete elephant, 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 30th ROUND OF ENGLISH PREMIERLEAGUE
There aren't (or shouldn't be) a lot of people who would predict a goal of the season being scored by a 6 ft 7 very thin robot-wannabe. But guess what! It happened. A clumsy looking grasshopper lookalike scored a beauty!
And he scored it against the mighty City. Oh, he was happy! As were his teammates... And the whole red part of Manchester. Which saluted another robot. A sophisticated one. Or so they say. What a transformation from a man, who was constantly being sent to not so pleasant places, to a Beckenbauer-ish ball-kicker.
The gunners were also firing the salvos of joy. They easily beat boring Aston Villa. And surely some kind of a miracle happened. After 15 years two Englishmen scored for the Arse. One man team? Scoring record says no.
In other 30th round matches, Stamford Bridge wants meteorite shower, Wigan still haven't beat a "top 6" side, although they won versus King Kenny's ashamed (I think that is why they wear red) boys, Grant Holt has tackling skills like a pig-chasing farmer, Nicklas Bendtner wears a magic mask, the Toon Army supports Brazil, 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.

CHELSEA - TOTTENHAM 0-0
@liam_twomey
Jose Bosingwa is the Theo Walcott of full-backs: Quick, and... #cfc #thfc
@apeman383
This game needs a goal. Sorry I meant meteorite shower. #thfc #cfc
@sloanjsloan
Friedel looks like he should be repairing the roads with that bright orange kit on #thfc #cfc
ARSENAL - ASTON VILLA 3-0 (2-0)
@footyfinance
Gervinho's head is slowly losing the battle with the octopus trying to devour it. #AFC
@TimothyAbraham
First time two Englishmen have scored in a Premier League game for Arsenal since 1997. #AFC #AVFC
@STATS_Football
Kieran Gibbs becomes the 17th different Arsenal player to score this season, most in the EPL."
BOLTON - BLACKBURN 2-1 (2-0)
@OptaJoe
18 – Bolton have conceded more set piece goals than any other team in the Premier League this season. Statues.. #motd
@MirrorFootball
Blackburn have Wheater intolerance. They're 1-0 down to an emotional Bolton
LIVERPOOL - WIGAN 1-2 (0-1)
@FunnyGooner
Kenny's excuse list: Injuries ☒ Referee ☒ Badluck ☒ Caroll Downing ☒ Tough opponent ☒ Suarez banned ☒ Missus angry ☒ Tight schedule ✔ #LFC
@YayaTory
He cheats, he dives, he hates the Jackson 5, Luis Suarez, Luis Suarez. #lfc #mcfc kkk
@PeterBolton3
Great Wigan Athletic fact: Up to yesterday they had never beaten a "Top 6" team away - And they still haven't!
NORWICH - WOLVERHAMPTON 2-1 (2-1)
@danwalkerbbc
The only problem with Grant Holt is that he tackles like a farmer trying to capture a runaway pig #agricultural #NCFC
@RnRFootball
Two goals and a red card. I think you could probably describe Grant Holt's performance today as all-action. #ncfc
@Jon_Earle95
Everyone saying Holt for England you're right just in the wrong sport, he should be in the national diving and eating team.
SUNDERLAND - QUEENS PARK RANGERS 3-1 (1-0)
@MsiDouglas
Joey Barton making more friends. Warming up as sub, just flashed #SAFC fans a '5-1' sign. Cue boos...
@Martin_O_Neill
Oh and I've told Bendtner he is NOT taking that mask off. EVER.
@davescholes
Is Nic Bendtner wearing that mask because he is injured or because he actually thinks he is a super hero? #supernic
@OptaJean
2 - Both of Djibril Cissé's two career red cards in league football have been for QPR. Fuse.
SWANSEA - EVERTON 0-2 (0-0)
@ShaunEB1327
Evertons top scorer is Baines with............... 4!!! Baines is a defender, so do Everton have any strikers?? :-)
@YourEverton
GOAL! Swansea 0-2 Everton. Nikica Jelavic tucks away from close range after Marouane Fellaini's pass from the right. 75 minutes gone. #COYB
STOKE CITY - MANCHESTER CITY 1-1 (0-0)
@iainmacintosh
Peter Crouch had no right to score that goal. He shouldn't be able to coordinate limbs that long with such precision.
@iainmacintosh
If ever there is danger, he'll be there. If ever you should need him, he'll come running. He is Yaya Toure. He is more machine than man.
WEST BROMWICH ALBION - NEWCASTLE UTD 1-3 (0-3)
@McNallyMirror
Papiss Cisse may not be able to speak English but he knows how to pu the ball in the net.#nufc 1-0 with Cisse's 4th goal since January move.
@ThisIsLiamM
#NUFC - It's like watching Brazil! Passing flowing football (in the sun). @NUFCOfficial #EPL
@Jowse
How is Perch moving so fast with Odemwingie in his pocket? #nufc
@NUFC_Stats
PL this season: Carroll - £11.67m per goal, Torres - £25m per goal, Cisse - £2m per goal, Ba - £0 per goal! #priceless #nufc
@OptaJoe
6 - Papiss Cisse is the joint-quickest Newcastle player in PL history to reach five goals (six games, same as Les Ferdinand). Adapted.
@MirrorFootball
Saw Cisse earlier buying a Louis Vuitton holdall. Papiss got a brand new bag
MANCHESTER UTD - FULHAM 1-0 (1-0)
@Zad189
Last night Ryan Giggs broke the record for most games played at 'one club'. His 903rd game, surpassed Maldini. What a player #CultHero #MUFC
@BD_19_Fact
Wayne Rooney is now 4 goals off Georgie Best's tally for the club, and 5 off becoming the 4th top scorer in #MUFC history #legend
@InfostradaLive
Rooney scores his 8th PL goal vs Fulham and equals PL record of scoring most goal vs Fulham held by Aiyegbeni, Henry, V Nistelrooy, Viduka.
@MirrorFootball
F-T Man United 1-0 Fulham: Look Roo's back on top of the league table!

FUNNY (?) TWITTER RECAP OF THE 28th ROUND OF ENGLISH PREMIERLEAGUE
And another round of the English finest is completed. And another shocking news has been spread around the globe. Who would've thought that some swans, who like to call themselves Swanselona, were capable to bend the Blue Moon over and spank it properly!
Spanking may be likeable, enjoyable sexual practice, but - even if it resembles (table) tennis - in football it's not really wanted. Usually the third party's having the most fun. This time it was Manchester United that laughed their asses (well, we're talking about spanking, don't we?) off. And it's quite understandable... They're back at the top of the league. Due to a brace by hair-plugs. Which impressed, the hair-plugs that is, even no-fear-of-going-bald Cesc.
In other 28th round matches Tottenham downfall is caused by lasagna, a lot of rubbish were on the pitch in Bolton, Danny de Vito and Arnold Schwarzenegger somehow find the way to the Fulham attack, Liverpool are ashamed by a great Dane, KD Lang shows up in the Arse's midfield, 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 "28th edition". Here are some of the bits, which should shed some (different) light on the 28th round of EPL. I thank all the tweeps for contributing...
BOLTON - QUEENS PARK RANGERS 2-1 (1-0)
@TCofLondon
Why don't women understand that it might only be Bolton & QPR that are playing, but it's still Football so it has to be watched?
@YorkEagle
Dear Mr @SeppBlatter could you please view the Bolton V Qpr game and tell me that there is No need for Goal Line Technology!
@McKendryPaul
Feel for the Bolton keeper. Ginger hair and a bright pink top, looks horrendous!
@ReneeConti
If I hear one Bolton fan complaining because the goal was offside, I'll hunt you down, kidnap you and make you get a season ticket at Wigan
@davidsedgwickNE
How much rubbish is on the pitch in the Bolton-QPR game?! And then there's all the plastic bags and bits of paper.
ASTON VILLA - FULHAM 1-0 (0-0)
@Minarzouki
Fulham's Johnson and Pogrebnyak remind me of Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie 'Twins'
@MirrorFootball
Fulham fans either chanting for a sixth goal, or they're hoping for some bedroom action when they get home
@DaleConnolly231
What is the point of bringing Weimann on at this time

SUNDERLAND - LIVERPOOL 1-0 (0-0)
@MirrorFootball
Kenny Dalglish has sent Andy Carroll to warm up. Probably figures if Bendtner can score, than anyone can
@MattPutland
It's 1 thing for the scousers to lose to a goal by a beach ball but surely losing to a goal by Bendtner yesterday is even more embarrassing
WOLVERHAMPTON - BLACKBURN 0-2 (0-1)
@OptaJoe
8 - Blackburn Rovers have scored first in all eight of their Premier League meetings against Wolves. Expected.
@OptaJoe

SWANSEA - MANCHESTER CITY 1-0 (0-0)

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.

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...
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 "24th edition". Here are some of the bits, which should shed some (different) light on the 24th round of EPL. I thank all the tweeps for contributing...

FUNNY (?) TWITTER RECAP OF THE 19th ROUND OF ENGLISH PREMIERLEAGUE
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...

FUNNY (?) TWITTER RECAP OF THE 16th ROUND OF ENGLISH PREMIERLEAGUE
One of the games of the Saturday afternoon - at least for us from Slovenia - was the Newcastle - Swansea match. It surely wasn't a beauty, although the hosts were clearly better (but they just couldn't score, hitting posts and bars). They were also lacking imagination in the midfield. Therefore most of the Toon fans "screamed" for Hatem Ben Arfa, but luckily for us Alan Pardew decided to give a chance to a young Slovenian Haris Vuckic in the last ten minutes. Even though it still ended in a goalless draw, it was nice to see him back on the SJP's pitch. And I must say, he was warmly welcomed... on Twitter at least.
Unlike Steve Kean. After Blackburn defeat against WBA he was - once again - given a lot of stick. One of the funniest tweets? Surely you wouldn't think it's related to the great Jim Morrison... Well, great for the Baggies fans. After all, he scored one of the goals.
Those who watched Wigan - Chelsea match had plenty to see. Except for goals. And exciting play. In the first half, that is. But you could spot a woman showing her love for the turkeys, Bieber's dooming effect on Chelsea (and on everyone else for that matter) etc. But, again, Drogba was nowhere to be seen. He really must be turning into some kind of an invisible man...
Match of the weekend? Manchester City - Arsenal! Citizens did their job. Arsenal didn't. How would they, when their manager - or was it a caterpillar? - was comfortable on the bench - in a sleeping bag. Obviously all this warmth influenced his decision-making. Or why would anyone try to save the game with a player as convincing as Russian democracy?
In the other 16th rd matches there was a ballerina-like buffalo, Fergie was in Fulham to exchange one of his defending assets for Michael Jackson statue, Wolves couldn't handle the truth... er, Huth, and Scott Parker should be careful while in London. Also, you can find out why Berba's not been given much playing time.
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 "16th edition". Here are some of the bits, which should shed some (different) light on the 16th round of EPL. I thank all the tweeps for contributing...
BLACKBURN - WEST BROMWICH ALBION 1-2 (0-0)

FUNNY (?) TWITTER RECAP OF THE 14th ROUND OF ENGLISH PREMIERLEAGUE
I must say Saturday's lunchtime match between Newcastle and Chelsea at St. James' Park (I do not like the other name...) was a very decent opener. Chelsea won, but Geordies were massively unlucky! David Luiz should be red-carded in the opening minutes, Tim Krul was brilliant (even saved Frank Lamaprd's penalty), they had plenty of chances etc. But they like to hit the bar too much. So it's their fault. A bunch of "boozers"!
Blackburn, formerly known as a bunch of losers, have tried everything (except sacking Steve Kean) to restore some of the "old days reputation". They haven't been particularly successful. Until today. Yes, they collected three points (against Swansea that is). And actually their best player was a beast! Just google it. Here are some clues: it's a shaggy Himalayan hoofed mammal found in Tibet and parts of China and is a very surefooted animal.
Aston Villa on the other hand still haven't found what they're looking for. Maybe they really should get rid of Alex McLeish, because my god they're boring to watch! Not that MUFC were THAT exciting in the Injury bowl. Far from it. And it seems Red Devils' tweeps followed them. It was I think the first match so far that even they didn't do their usual job (funny, cynical... tweeting).
In the other mathces Mario Balotelli invented "Shoulder of Mario," QPR and WBA fans also didn't have the best of afternoons obviously, Bolton couldn't win with a player slower than a Christmas mail in the team, Gervinho confuses Arsenal's, MCFC's and Barca's fans, Evertonians scream for a sugar daddy, special agent Steve is laughing and more!
BTW I apologize for publishing the final version so late. I had to write it on a prehistoric computer. I mean, it's as slow as above mentioned Bolton player...
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...

Congrats to Clint Dempsey, whose 37th Premier League goal breaks Brian McBride's record for a US player. (Also beat Liverpool with it.)
Blackburn, formerly known as a bunch of losers, have tried everything (except sacking Steve Kean) to restore some of the "old days reputation". They haven't been particularly successful. Until today. Yes, they collected three points (against Swansea that is). And actually their best player was a beast! Just google it. Here are some clues: it's a shaggy Himalayan hoofed mammal found in Tibet and parts of China and is a very surefooted animal.
Aston Villa on the other hand still haven't found what they're looking for. Maybe they really should get rid of Alex McLeish, because my god they're boring to watch! Not that MUFC were THAT exciting in the Injury bowl. Far from it. And it seems Red Devils' tweeps followed them. It was I think the first match so far that even they didn't do their usual job (funny, cynical... tweeting).
In the other mathces Mario Balotelli invented "Shoulder of Mario," QPR and WBA fans also didn't have the best of afternoons obviously, Bolton couldn't win with a player slower than a Christmas mail in the team, Gervinho confuses Arsenal's, MCFC's and Barca's fans, Evertonians scream for a sugar daddy, special agent Steve is laughing and more!
BTW I apologize for publishing the final version so late. I had to write it on a prehistoric computer. I mean, it's as slow as above mentioned Bolton player...
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 "14th edition". Here are some of the bits, which should shed some (different) light on the 14th round of EPL. I thank all the tweeps for contributing...

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.
