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...
ARSENAL - BLACKBURN 7-1 (3-1)
@ShinobiAFC
Figures, the one decent ref left in the #EPL gets a knock to the head...virtue has no rewards #AFC
@nicogrounds
RVP. When a girl says no... why? He's more penetrative than a Samurai sword #afc
@SamerF89

I'm having chicken biryani for dinner ..venkys chicken biryani slightly black burnt #afc #arsenal

I don't respect any team Bendtner can score against. He scored a worldie couple seasons back against....Blackburn. Go figure.
NORWICH CITY - BOLTON 2-0 (0-0)
@CGoreham
I think today was first time I've ever actually touched the match ball at #ncfc when it was booted into stand. A tremendous thrill
@DavidMaidstone
Can't understand the moaners, in 1902 we couldn't even raise 11 shirts and there wasn't a ref. Don't people realise how far we've come #NCFC
@MadMarcT
I swear I wet myself when Andrew Surman scored... That's why the gaffer jumped up so high. I would have drenched him. #NCFC
QUEENS PARK RANGERS - WOLVERHAMPTON 1-2 (1-0)
@FourFourTom
Djibril Cisse has been sent off. Who at QPR thought "yeah, what could possibly go wrong!" when they heard he was available to buy? Hothead.

13 - Wolves have now recovered more points from losing positions than any other team in the top flight this season. Grit.
STOKE CITY - SUNDERLAND 0-1 (0-0)

Well done to the lads, 3 good points in very difficult conditions today! Not the snow, Stoke's horrible tactics & playing style #safc
@FourFourTom
22 points from a possible 30 for Martin O'Neill since taking over at Sunderland. Unbelievable record.
@Martin_O_Neill
Marty's fact of the day: Jack Bauer is Seb Larrson's dad."lets hope he gets 24 goals this season then!
@BenVanDerVelde
I've said it before and I'll say it again - if we want out of this recession, appoint Martin O'Neill Chancellor immediately.

The MUFC defence opens to give Torres a clear sight of goal... but he doesn't fall for it and shoots at the corner flag instead.

FUNNY (?) TWITTER RECAP OF THE 6th ROUND OF ENGLISH PREMIERLEAGUE
And finally... There it is! Stoke proved to be a worthy opponent to mighty migthy ManUTD. Even more! If you send them to France they would change the history of art... Mona Lisa would become... errr... Male... Not that she was a beauty anyway...
Stoke also proved that big guys aren't passe... Crouchy's put as an evidence. Interbreeding is cool, they say. According to some tweets and regarding recent Arsenal games, even living on the same islands can help to steal some points of Manchester gang.
As I write about the Man-gang, I should mention the fact that's bothering Pirelli. "Should we or should we not use the pattern of Ballotelli's hairdo to win the Rallye of France..." they say (supposedly). Not to mention they could meet a bipolar bear in he future... And not because of the "El Nino"... It's purely Wenger's matter...
Talking of Wenger... Arsenal's women (What?!) are winning everything... Phew, they say at the Emirates... Also in this edition: Torres' two foot tackle, scouser karma, sober carroll, an Argentine shagging your wife, selling Wes Brown, Roy's consistency 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 5th ROUND OF ENGLISH PREMIERLEAGUE
Ooooo, what a scary nickname "gunners" is! Those not following football might think this is a team which scares every opponent! The reality is they do not scare no one, even the white&blue chickens (although they're Venky's).
Before the match Blackburn fans protested and wanted Steve Kean to leave. Even the Arsenal fans sang he should get the sack. But in the end it was Arsene Wenger the one to be "keaned". Many of you have wanted the Frenchman's a(A)rse to be kicked at.
The reasons are obvious. Arsenal (aiming at the champions league places... oh, well) went down at Ewood Park against Blackburn (a club that is in reality closer to championship quality than Kean's outrageous remarks about going towards the top of the table). And, yes, this time even Arsene admitted the start of the season was simply terrible for his flock of "Star-trek-characters-look-a-likes".
Manchester United have completely different kind of start. They are invincible! Even Chelsea couldn't do nothing to change this. Valderrama in Utd shirt scored again (and badly missed a penalty), Nani scored a beauty (only Luka Modric's goal could match it)... On the other hand Goalless Torres put himself on the scoring list BUT missed a sitter later in the game. Maybe, just maybe, he should do something with his hair (great tweet about it!). Oh, yes, and Man City pissed away their lead...
Also in this edition: man-love, organ-transplant, George Orwell, Maradona, the worst team, the end of the world, killing each other and more.
Now it's time to explain (again), what this blog is all about. As I wrote the last four 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...

Bruce, take note. Vaughn played and was man of the match. Cattermole on the bench. Sunderland win. Work that one out....
jonawils
OK; I'm starting to breathe easier now. But Sunderland scoring from set-plays? I didn't even know that was allowed.
MANCHESTER UNITED - CHELSEA 3-1 (3-0)

Cracking match. Again. Jones enviously eyeing Torres' blond highlights. Just described them as "reet fashionable". To Anderson.

Chelsea fans haven't known a hammering like this since they were Fulham fans.

Arsene is on the phone to Torres now: asking if he can teach his back four to miss the goal like that.
ManUnitedTalk
What's the difference between Fernando Torres and Wayne Bridge? John Terry appreciates Wayne Bridge's missus.
churchofsoccer
Torres should talk to Rooney's hair-transplant guy. I know, I know. But he's gotta try *something* different.
Snikoggs
Wenger has announced he wants to buy Torres. When asked why he said, "If I play him at centre back, at least we won't score any own goals"
Before the match Blackburn fans protested and wanted Steve Kean to leave. Even the Arsenal fans sang he should get the sack. But in the end it was Arsene Wenger the one to be "keaned". Many of you have wanted the Frenchman's a(A)rse to be kicked at.
The reasons are obvious. Arsenal (aiming at the champions league places... oh, well) went down at Ewood Park against Blackburn (a club that is in reality closer to championship quality than Kean's outrageous remarks about going towards the top of the table). And, yes, this time even Arsene admitted the start of the season was simply terrible for his flock of "Star-trek-characters-look-a-likes".
Manchester United have completely different kind of start. They are invincible! Even Chelsea couldn't do nothing to change this. Valderrama in Utd shirt scored again (and badly missed a penalty), Nani scored a beauty (only Luka Modric's goal could match it)... On the other hand Goalless Torres put himself on the scoring list BUT missed a sitter later in the game. Maybe, just maybe, he should do something with his hair (great tweet about it!). Oh, yes, and Man City pissed away their lead...
Also in this edition: man-love, organ-transplant, George Orwell, Maradona, the worst team, the end of the world, killing each other and more.
Now it's time to explain (again), what this blog is all about. As I wrote the last four 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 "fifth edition". Here are some of the bits, which should shed some (different) light on the 5th round of EPL. I thank all the tweeps for contributing...
BLACKBURN - ARSENAL 4-3 (1-2)
offthepost
"You're getting sacked in the morning" - Are the Arsenal fans still singing to Wenger?!
MirrorFootball
H-T Blackburn 1-2 Arsenal. Random thought: if Venky's did have a managerial vacancy soon, would they FILLET?
astravegaa
Arsenal has Damon from Vampire Diaries in their squad #Arteta
John_Warrington
Is shows just how far backwards Arsenal have gone when @piersmorgan is having premature ejaculations over beating Blackburn. #tosser
Rodney_Dennis
If arsenal end up losing ill cry and put it on youtube
femianthony
Oh yeah!! In comes djourou.... another ugly and wierd looking Arsenal player lol only Jehovah knows where wenger finds these players lol smh
julian_bennetts
Only #arsenal could score 5 and still lose. Another defensive shambles. Have to admire new players learning same mistakes as old so quickly
Alan_Machnik
Arsenal bringing Chamakh on. In response, Chris Samba will wear flip-flops for the remainder of the game.
MissIreenie
...Maybe Arsenal are going for that minimalist look in their trophy cabinet this season
ASTON VILLA - NEWCASTLE UNITED 1-1 (1-0)

N'Zogbia was awful, the way it should be #nufc

#NUFC: you draw some, and you draw some.

Must admit I'm developing a man-crush on Yohan Cabaye, copied his hair and everything #NUFC
BOLTON - NORWICH CITY 1-2 (0-2)
OXONAssassin
Is Klasnic the first player who had an organ transplant to be sent off in premier league history?
Colinho63
#bwfc we've actually been playing with 10 men since first minute when Klasnic didn't turn up.
HopeSoloSwag
How many referees does it take to make the right call? Apparently the answer is more than one #Bolton #Norwich
EVERTON - WIGAN ATHLETIC 3-1 (1-1)
MirrorFootball
GOAL! Everton get a very late third against Wigan - Royston Drenthe with a finish "as cool as the other side of your pillow" - Merse
FunkyBlanco
Drenthe is better than Maradona. :) #tweetlikeafanboy
ayates_89
Wigan are the worst team I've ever seen! They should just stick to rugby league.
SWANSEA CITY - WBA 3-0 (2-0)
EatMoreBacalhau
After five rounds in the PL, who would've predicted Norwich and Swansea do have more points, and a better goal difference, than Arsenal?
ManUtd24
Nobby Solano finds the net for Hartlepool. Yakubu scores two. Even Leroy Lita has a goal to his name. The end of the world is near, folks.
briankettle
#wba 3-0 down. Clearly the fault of the players, owners, fans, reserve team, unreasonable expectations and Rafael Benitez.
davemiles93
I laughed. Cause I didn't want to cry #wba
WOLVERHAMPTON - QPR 0-3 (0-2)
salisu8
heading home, need to cut my hair. congrats QPR
AmiieeLeigh
Absolutely terrible game today! If it was a team like Chelsea who'd made us look that bad then fair enough they're the better team, but QPR?
NapoliBlogger
Barton shouting some George Orwell to the Wolves players there
Marcotti
A minute ago, looked as if Henry + Barton were going to kill each other. Final whistle, smiles and giggles. Love the PL.
TOTTENHAM - LIVERPOOL 4-0 (1-0)
thejamessutton
Match Day. Excited. Carroll starts. Please be sober Andy. For me...
holmsey75
This is brilliant! Can see the refs car having its alloys nicked and set alight.#lfc #thfc

Someone really should tell Suarez not to put vaseline on the outside of the soles of his boots . . . #thfc #lfc

adebayor, adebayor, city pay half his wages, 'cause we are too poor #thfc
suhail_suzy
Adebayor, Adebayoooor. We used to hate you, we don't anymoore!

"Oh Adebayor/Oh Adebayor/His mum washes his kit/And her son's made it four"

'Are you Arsenal in disguise?' #thfc #lfc

The Simpsons is on in another channel, but watching Liverpool is funnier. @essafc Brilliant from #thfc.
FULHAM - MANCHESTER CITY 2-2 (0-1)
sidlowe
So, this Aguero bloke... he's quite good, isn't he?
fallingbackward
I am so in love with Fulham right now. Proved that it's about being a team, not an aguero.
Padz86
Fulham draw with City, so the majority of new Chelsea fans will have something to celebrate tonight
sportingintel
BBC website cannot stomach what's happening at Craven Cottage, insisting it's 3-1 to #mcfc, and bizarrely listing five goals, 3 for City
GraceTomlinson1
Glad to know we're still the same old City. No amount of money will change our inexplicable ability to throw away leads. #mcfc #fulham
