FUNNY (?) TWITTER RECAP OF THE 26th ROUND OF ENGLISH PREMIERLEAGUE

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
@dwagie
Hendo is shaite. I kinda miss Poulsen.. wait, what? #theredmen #LFC
@thesnowdens
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
@LFCtransfernews
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
@AntHaddley
Said it before but if I came home and found Steven Gerrard in bed with my wife, I would tuck him in. #LFC
@liam_tomkins
Somebody said to me that Steven Gerrard was a shadow of his former self these days. I wish my shadow was that good!

CHELSEA - BOLTON 3-0 (0-0)
@chrismada9
I think I might have to turn the volume up because I can't hear the #Chelsea support *turns up volume* ... okay I still can't hear it! #CFC
@Frimponged
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
@MiggLovin
When the commentator yells, "TORRES!" he either A. shanked the ball, or B. got an assist. #CFC

NEWCASTLE UTD - WOLVERHAMPTON 2-2 (2-0)
@InfostradaLive
Papiss Cissé was 5th player to score in his first 2 home #PL matches for #NUFC after Shearer, L. Ferdinand, D. Ferguson & Daniel Cordone
@danwalkerbbc
Last time Wolves won away at Newcastle in the top flight was 7th Feb 1959. The day Mick McCarthy was born! #WWFC #NUFC #Stat
@jaredstimson
Kevin Doyle looks like he should be in a rock band, not a striker in the Prem. @

QUEENS PARK RANGERS - FULHAM 0-1 (0-1)
@InfostradaLive
Pavel Pogrebnyak is the 2nd #fulham player in #EPL history to score in each of his first 2 matches for the club after David Healy #PL
@RobertOrdever
There is more #ffc love on my timeline tonight than a whole series on the isle of Fernando #fulhamfamily
@iainmacintosh
Samba Diakite was the 42nd player to be named in a QPR matchday squad this season. They'll need an extension at the training ground soon.

WEST BROMWICH ALBION - SUNDERLAND 4-0 (2-0)
@WDownes
wearing my west brom shirt to core p.e on monday, purely because Mr Pigford supports Sunderland
@Martin_O_Neill
Having a drink in the corner flag in Sunderland. Sess & Frazier have just turned up dressed like Rizzle Kicks. #PartyWithMarty

WIGAN - ASTON VILLA 0-0
@FourFourTom
FT: Wigan 0-0 Aston Villa. Today's glamour tie certainly didn't disappoint. Passes, throw ins and two clean sheets. #TheThrillaVsVilla
@AFraser
Having Alex McLeish as your manager is great. Completely frees up that time you might otherwise spend watching Match of the Day. #avfc

MANCHESTER CITY - BLACKBURN ROVERS 3-0 (1-0)
@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
@CharleyRoseB
"It's a match ball for Sergio Aguero, but he knows who to thank, the mercurial genius of the man they call the wizard" <3 ARSENAL - TOTTENHAM 5-2 (2-2)
@Okwonga
Brad Friedel is officially the Bruce Willis of football. Bald badass who never disappoints. Bet he can sing too. #thfc #afc
@nosakhari
My Girlfriend #AFC is cheating on me again with my enemy #THFC and she is making me watch her do it.
@NathanITFC
If you get out muscled by Yossi Benayoun you really need to be hitting the gym! #arsenal #thfc
@munsy_uk
Turned TV over now watching Colombo on ITV, much better. #THFC
@GunnersStunners
BREAKING NEWS!! The new #Spurs DVD has been cut short to only 34 mins & is titled as '2-0, A memorable afternoon at the Emirates' #afc #thfc

NORWICH CITY - MANCHESTER UTD 1-2 (0-1)
@SteveRLawrence
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
70: Hey something happened at Stok-- oh, wait, it was just a trash bag blowing across the pitch. Carry on. Stoke 2, Swans 0.
841001
"@Stats_official: Stoke 2-0 Swansea: Passes 194-614|Pass% 66-85|Possession 26%-74%" Proof passes are not everything in football.

FUNNY (?) TWITTER RECAP OF THE 15th ROUND OF ENGLISH PREMIERLEAGUE

Ok, we had to wait for the match of the weekend till today, but regarding that Chelsea and Manchester City played in it, it wasn't to hard... :) Luckily for me - as I'm a Juventus fan (but admire English football) - Chelsea won. Therefore La Vecchia Signora is the last unbeaten team in the top five European leagues. "Got a pillow under my top as a thank you to fat frank!" if I may borrow Martink1n9's tweet. Yes, Lamps scored the winner.

On Saturday, MUFC replied marvelously after the Champions League blunder, but it was not all good at Old Trafford. According to some of you, a tree could do just as much as Kiko Macheda (in terms of 'a first touch' that is). Luckily for United Wayne Rooney scored and got behind Ryan Giggs... Yes, he scored firstly! You perverts...

Anyway, Arsenal have been doing incredibly well despite the fact they've put all their hopes about driving towards the top of the league on Reliant Robin.

The first Sunday's match was huge! Sunderland (deservedly winners) welcomed Steve Kean's Blackburn with a new manager in charge. Martin O'Neill. It was so big of a game that it proved Messiah is just an imaginary character (well, for at least an hour or so...). And congrats to tweeps! You made it even bigger and, mostly, funnier!

In other matches of this round Norwich won against Newcastle due to a man headbutting bees, Clint Dempsey learned about bad karma, Chris Foy ended THFC's unbeaten run and more. Fact of the day? Jordi Gomez is a prick! Oh, and a reminder for the clubs in search of a new manager! Two words: Owen Coyle! Success and beauty - all guaranteed!

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... :)

Unlikely that Everton will score, but a girl can dream. 4 minutes #afc #everton

Great win for #afc. Superb goal & equally superb assist from Song. If RVP wasn't superhuman Song could be player of the season so far #COYG

Theo walcottt seems to have more possession than any other #afc player! I wish he had the brain to know what to do with it! Poor!

BOLTON - ASTON VILLA 1-2 (0-2)
tompmcgowan
Wow. It looks like #avfc are playing 11 footballers in their correct positions. #InvertingThePyramid still no Delph, though...
MirrorFootball
GOAL! Bolton 0-1 Aston Villa - Emile Heskey! No, not really - it's Marc Albrighton.
MarkWhyy
How much longer could Owen Coyle possibly have? I'm worried about any possible replacement that the Bolton board might find. #MegsonPartDeux
mcskimming
Annoying thing is... You know wherever Coyle ends up next, his team will play great football and do really well.. "it's just a Bolton thing"
duguzzle
Wha...? We won? Away? Has there been a rip in the space-time continuum? And did I fall through it? #avfc

LIVERPOOL - QUEENS PARK RANGERS 1-0 (0-0)

Pinch me please, Suarez was fouled and it was given. I must be dreaming

Witnessed a torture to death on 2 channels. ESPN & Star. Wolves & QPR. Trying to clear the ball at all times. Freaking out on receiving it.
JBcommentator
I don't know what is being given to opposition goalkeepers before they arrive at Anfield...What a save that was from Cerny to deny Maxi

MANCHESTER UTD - WOLVERHAMPTON 4-1 (2-0)
HenrikBodker
it is now official. David De Gea has had more 2nd chances than Lindsay Lohan , Fernando Torres and Charlie Sheen, combined #extreme #mufc
BuzzTNA
Wish Phil Jones would stop having a good game in midfield, giving Fergie more excuses not to buy a midfielder. #MUFC
StrettyNews
Rooney is now one #mufc career goal behind Ryan Giggs after scoring his 160th. Get Giggs on and let them fight it out.
dan1wk
Still haven't got a birthday tweet from a famous person! Plus not getting my new toy till Monday �� At least #mufc are winning 4-1!
alex_hoggarth
Dear Basel. Thank you for waking up #MUFC - time to kick this season into shape starting with Wolves today. The best we've played for ages
RyannMUFC
Get a tennis ball and throw it as hard as you can at a tree, then observe how it has a better touch than Macheda. #mufc

NORWICH CITY - NEWCASTLE UTD 4-2 (1-1)

I didnt mean to score either goals. I saw a bee thats been bothering me all game, tried to headbutt it midair & the ball hit me twice #NCFC

Listening to the Newcastle fans walking past after the match was like an episode of Geordie Shore. Not happy! #NCFC

I asked Santa for Paul Lambert to sign a 700 year contract with #ncfc

Grant Holt didn't score Norwich's 2nd. Gavin Holt did. Martin Keown said so.

SWANSEA - FULHAM 2-0 (0-0)

Danny Graham on the bench. Brendan Rodgers doesn't want to win.
briankettle
Fulham thug Clint Dempsey right to be annoyed at scoring own goal and missing penalty since he should be serving a suspension for a red card

1 - Wigan Athletic haven’t won back to back Premier League away games since November 2006. Rarity.

Rant time: Jordi Gomez, what a prick. Waving imaginary cards, feigning injury and miracle recovery when the ball went near him #wba #wafc

SUNDERLAND - BLACKBURN 2-1 (0-1)
Andrewg32
To be fair to #safc it has been like Barcelona so far. Admittedly like barca played 30ft off the ground, but the head tennis has been superb

Unbelievable... Even The phantom of the opera can score goals against Sunderland... #safc

Richardson missed a kick someone in a wheel chair would have even mastered... #safc
jessespector
Sessegnon has had better ideas than any #SAFC player today. He has not had the greatest connection between brain and foot.
markhitch
Steve Kean is currently making the best tactical decision of his career. Partnering Bramble with Brown up top. Masterstroke #Rovers #safc
basketball_nick
In el classico last night there were 13 world cup winners playing. #SAFC v #BRFC features almost 13 players who have played football before.

Proof, sadly, that there's no such thing as a Messiah. Hope we get second half sorted #SAFC

Pat Nevin on Yakubu and Bramble. 'It's like watching a David Attenborough documentary with two yaks banging into each other' #safc

A dwarf trying to get marmalade from the top shelf is less frustrated than me watching sunderland. #SAFC

I'd missed Martin O'Neill's gleeful celebrations. Oddly Xmassy, like he's just unwrapped his presents & found Carmen Electra. #safc #brfc
