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)
@andybell88
I know Liverpool are a joke, but having Adam Sandler at left back is taking it a bit far. #efc #lfc

Hendo is shaite. I kinda miss Poulsen.. wait, what? #theredmen #LFC

Andy Carroll is 6-1 to score today.... If you don't understand betting that means that if you bet £10, you will lose £10. #LFC

Steven Gerrard set to become 25th player to reach 400 PL appearance milestone and only the fifth to achieve it for one single club. #LFC

Didier Drogba has scored 99 Premier League goals. Fernando Torres will reach that same amount in the year 2401, at this rate. #cfc
@flyingdutchfan
150th league goal and his 149th Premier League goal. Frank Lampard, legend. #cfc
@BarriesView
9 - with that goal Frank Lampard becomes the first player in Premier League history to score double figures in nine consecutive seasons #CFC

When the commentator yells, "TORRES!" he either A. shanked the ball, or B. got an assist. #CFC

@FOXSoccerTrax
I'm going to resist the urge to make jokes about Balotelli's t-shirt, but I do urge you to Google "Raffaella Fico." She's a piece of work!
@TomSeymour
Great strikers goal by Dzeko today. Cross from the chalk and the big man leaping like a gazelle. Few better sights in football for my money

Premier League clubs must feel pissed getting beaten with two 36 Year old players #legends #mufc
@rebeccaabbott93
Few things after #ncfc game today 1) There's a reason stoppage time's called Fergie time 2) Where would #mufc be without Scholes and Giggs..
@henrywinter
Giggs, playing 900th #mufc game, is the lord of the landmark: Scored United's 6000th league goal (v Saints 93) & 7000th (v Birmingham 06)
@jaymotty
If u divide Ryan Giggs number of appearances 4 United by 900 then subtract 1 u get the exact number of Steven Gerrard league title medals
STOKE CITY - SWANSEA 2-0 (2-0)
@Pagella1990
Peter Crouch should still be playing for Liverpool and Andy Carrol should be working for #ASDA #LFC
@FOXSoccerTrax

FUNNY (?) TWITTER RECAP OF THE 21st ROUND OF ENGLISH PREMIERLEAGUE
The black&white comeback of Metzualems... Or something similar (you can put your suggestions in the comments window below). This should be the title summarizing the latest round of the EPL.
Firstly, I have to mention Paul Scholes. The great (not by height) pale (as if there are properly tanned...) ginger, who was once described as the best by headbuttin' hero Zizou, was one of the heroes for Manchester UTD versus Bolton. It's a good thing he was bored in a so called retirement, because it's always nice to see such players continuing their usual job. Yes, I know, he's as rusty as Albanian submarines once showed in a special edition of Top Gear (I don't fancy cars, it's just that I really like cynicism, English humour, and even Jezza), but he scored!
The other old chap, who deserves to be mentioned (although a Juventus flop - no comments allowed!), is a somewhat complete opposite of Scholes. He's tall, he's, well, slightly darker, and he's French. And he plays for Arsenal as he did before flying across the pond to teach Newyorkers how to play FOOTBALL. And to earn a buck or two, for that matter. Anyway, despite he's been "statued" in London, Thierry Henry started on the bench in Swansea. He came on in 63rd when Arse was - where else - behind (2-1). High hopes everywhere (on Twitter at least). The final result was 3-2 for Swansea. Not the impact the sleeping-bag-loving grasshopper had hoped for.
In the other 21st round matches Martin Jol looks like a not very nice guy, Emile Heskey misses again (this time it's all about computer stuff), Nicklas Bendtner shoots some scenes for a new DVD, Andy Carroll's doing a great job decreasing his value, Harry Redknapp finds himself in a cheeky situation (he lets people penetrate too much), WBA resemble a really crappy funeral (no, not every funeral's crappy), the Toon Army wants Blu-Ray, Katie Price inspires Wigan - City match, and much, much 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...
