Heya Dave, I just beat you to the post. I'll get rid of it. Citeh have already beaten Fulham 3-1 in the earlier match.
Here are the other matches today:
Arsenal v Newcastle
Chelsea v West Ham
Everton v Bolton
Middlesbrough v Liverpool
Portsmouth v Watford
Reading v Charlton
Sheff Utd v Man Utd
Birmingham drew with Wolves in the early Brum derby. That doesn't really help either. Also you may have seen that Cardiff had a shock away loss last night.
Nice one, Stoke have taken an away lead against Hull, which pops us out of the danger zone without us doing much of anything. We're fourth bottom again.
And Plymouth have taken an early lead away to Southend. More good news. Southend look all but dead and buried with only eleven points.
Also West Brom are already 2-0 up against Burnley.
It will interesting to see how Charlton get on today at Reading with their new manager. They had a spot on Sky News about it last night, asking other Prem. managers about it and most of them said the obvious sympathetic things. Arsene even said that Dowie was a "quality manager." Really?! The only honest one was Martin O'Neill, who said, "You live and die by your results." Too right, Martin. He had to go.
ManYoo really piling on the pressure, with even Gazza Neville getting in on the action. Hit it straight at the keeper, though.
Where did you go, Davey. Nip off for a quick shower?
Neil Warnock is already doing his nut with the fourth official. What a tosspot. Get the red card out, ref!
Oh, bloody hell! The Blades have scored. Good header from Gillespie. Evra got skinned on the left though. Nice run from Hulse.
OOOH, Rooney nearly leveled it. Great stop from Paddy Kenny. He's been the goalkeeping story of the season, I think. Has kept the Blades in several matches.
Preston have taken the lead against Leicester to go even with Cardiff at the top.
Palace have scored against Barnsley. A draw would probably be the best result in that one for us. They're both down at the bottom.
As expected Reading have taken the lead against woeful Charlton, who are stuck at the bottom on eight points.
I go to the bathroom and the Blades score.
Well it is early
Chelsea just scored too
Sheff Wed are winning again.
They are zooming up the table
That was a lengthy crap, mate. What did you eat - a bucket of vindaloo?
Saha should get a card there; total dive. No, actually Giggsy picks up the card for him for the protest.
I wasn't in there the entire time!!!!
As the scores stand, Leeds are out of the bottom three.
United should have had a penalty
Coventry have tied up Wednesday
He got clattered from behind!!!
Never a penalty, mate.
Talksport just said it was a definately pen.
ANOTHER CHANCE FOR UNITED.
COME ON, PUT IT IN THE OLD ONION BAG!!
Some fairly desperate defending there from the Blades to keep Roon and Saha out. Where's Skippy?
Oh dear, Leeds are down
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ROONEY!!!!!!!!!
Bugger!
And double bugger! Rooney's scored. Good goal though, great instinct.
THE ARSE are losing to Newcastle.
Pompey are losing to Watford
Time for Wisey to stiffen some spines. We can't drop points at home. We're back in the danger zone with that goal. Third bottom.
Bloody hell, this is going better for you lot. I can't believe that Arsenal will drop points against Newcastle. They're woeful.
Go on, give Skippy a good kicking!
Jay Demerit, the American with the goal for Watford. He can't get into the U.S. squad for some inexplicable reason.
Who was Saha passing to?
Looks like a penguin.....
What do you think about this Evra? Is he keeping Heinze out of the team?
Dive number two for Saha - get the card out, ref!
I think Heinze is injured, no?
Wednesday have had two players sent off already, including their keeper. Why aren't we watching that match?
He must be short of match fitness. He HAD been playing in Carling Cup
Shef Wed down to ten men
I didn't know it was two men
That was another penalty!
Pompey has tied it up.
Another one from Kanu
West Brom up by three.
I better slow down with my comments before I get disabled.
Ferg rates Evra higher than Heinze. I read that some Italian team has bid silly cash for Gabriel and he's off in January.
Morning Gooner.
I don't like that idea. We missed Gabby a lot last year
70%-30% possession.
9-0 Corners
There can only be one thing that happens in the second half
Newcastle have not been in the Arse's penalty all half!!!
Including their goal. It was taken from outside the box.
Will Arsene' Frank Bruno" Wenger bring Henry off the bench right at the half?
My lot have to turn it around in the second half. This just isn't good enough.
Morning, Gooner!
Me as well. From what I can see, Evra is far better going forward than he is as a defender. Gabby's got the lot, though I haven't seen enough of him since he returned to gauge what kind of pace he's returned with.
Evra reminds me of Ashley Cole, all sparkle going forward and a nice side-line in goal mouth clearances, but a bit rubbish at the defending.
You know we've got a match on Tuesday that getting robbed in Moscow and then doing a penalty area keystone cops routine in the return leg makes quite important.
Newcastle are lucky to meet us at this moment in the season, but ultimately they're pishh. They'd not even be in this division if it weren't for the 10 games a season that Given won't allow them to lose. Now that he's back, they can all breath a little easier, but really now, who would be surprized if they ended 16th in the table this year? Would you?
Second half, we haven't replied by the 55th, yes, probably time for Henry. Even if he's got one eye on Tuesday, he lifts the team just being there.
The subs bench doesn't look very promising otherwise.
Good sign. United are already out on the field waiting for the Blades to come out. COME ON YOU BLUES
Henry is on
What's with the blue kit, anyway? Don't like it - it looks like Chelski with red trim.
No surprise that it's RVP going off. Don't know why he hasn't produced. Something about where his head is at the moment. Obviously a bright talent and only behind Henry in attacking invention, but something's missing right now.
They've done every other color. Wait, there's still that s**t-brown that Spurs caromed about in last week-end.
Yeah, get your Brown-on Davey!
That was United away kit for a couple of years. It has become there third kit this season. Their white shirt is the away but of course the Blades wear Red and White
It is the classic United blue that they wore when they won the European Cup in '68
Have you seen the Roma away?
It is grey and it shows every players sweat!! It is disgusting
We haven't started this half as I would have hoped
That sounds like that "silver" Barca number from a few years back where every player looked like they were wearing a different shade depending on the effort they were expending.
Still 0-1 Soton in the only match I care about today. We've got our best side out and have had some chances.
Come on you Whites!
Coventry are now leading nine-man Wednesday.
Keano's Sunderland are now 2-0 up over Colchester. They're well out of trouble now. A model for Leeds?
Just cross the ball Ronaldo
I can do that too CR
Tell you another thing... Domenech was asked by Wenger to use Henry sparingly in the mid-week friendly. He and Gallas were once of 4 who played all ninety minutes. What a wanker.
You guys should have hired Keano
COME ON UNITED!!!!!!!
Total wanker. Why would you waste those players in a friendly. Why not give some of the young Lyonnais a run out?
I think Keane at Leeds would've been more than the fans would've been able to stomach. I suspect they might have burned down the director's boxes.
Bugger, now Southend have equalized. They're still rock bottom but now on twelve points.
Sounds like Shay Given is just barely keeping Newcastle in it. Arse all over those mugs now.
Long may it continue
Good, Bolton are losing to Everton
Theo on at the Emirates
Everton have taken the lead through Mikel Arteta. He'll be important since they lost Cahill last weekend.
What a run from Roon but then gave it away
OH DEAR
SOTTON HAVE SCORED AGAIN
TERRIBLE DEFENDING APPARENTLY
Saha has been hopeless today.
Now just go and score please
Reading are two up
This is just not good enough for Leeds. We're starting to lose touch with the pack. A loss today would put us five points behind Palace.
The ARSE have scored
BLOODY HENRY
Jesus, Jagielka has been brilliant today. He's keeping the Blades in it. Great tackle on Saha.
Oh, just as I was writing that this is not good enough and that the man needs to step up, guess what? The man stepped up. 1-1 and game on.
C'mon you Gunners!
Come on you Hammers! I'd love to see them get one back against Chelski.
COME ON UNITED
PUT IT IN
YES!!!!!!!!
ROONEY!!!!!!!!
Another great goal from a great pass
Leeds are three down.
Sack WISE
From what I can tell of the last ten minutes, we've been in dangerous positions only for Manu Adebayor to lose the ball and foul in the attempt to rescue it. Very stupid.
Rooon! What a great finish - the boy's on fire today.
Who would take the Leeds job now, Mike Newell?
great cross from Evra as well.
Derby have helped us out a bit - they're 2-0 up against Luton now.
How did Ronaldo miss that one?
Rosicky like
What a miss from Skippy the Winker!
Fabragas should have been sent off according to Talksport.
Chelsea are holding on. West Ham have given it a go in the second half.
Warnock throwing on a big lump - you can tell what's coming.
Hull are down by two
I can only wonder what the Elland Road faithful will have to say to Alan Green on 606 this afternoon.
Can anyone say Rooney hat-trick?
Come on Wayno
Bloody hell
Off the bar and then the line.
COME ON GET A THIRD.... PLEASE
Why do you need a third - there's no way the Blades are coming back now. You've seen all their weapons. You can surely ride this one out.
Come on you Hammers!!!!!
I want a third
I've just had a look at our goal difference - -17 with 36 goals conceded. Bloody rubbish!
Skippy should be banned for life according to 99pct of the English population. Wrap up you bastrrd
Phew with that free kick
That is why I want a third
Impressive defending going on in Yorkshire
Great shot by Saha
Great save.
RONALDO MISSED ANOTHER SITTER
OH MY GOD!!!!!!
Miss of the season from Skippy! Hah hah!
We better not lose these points
I think Phil could've scored that one.
You could have
Leeds could have scored from there!!!!
Three minutes of added time
Pompey just scored the winner
Sunderland have wrapped it up
Charlton have lost.
Are they going down?
Leeds have lost by three
Phew.
Another win.
Top of the table by three
The Pompey goal puts some added pressure on the Arse to get another.
Charlton are definitely going down. They basically appointed someone who should be a caretaker manager.
The question is - are Leeds going down?
The bottom four of the Championship are starting to lose touch
Arsenal drop two points
Lovely Jubbly
Chelski win
not so lovely jubbly
Leeds 0 Southhampton 3 - not lovely jubbly. (sigh)
