Premiership Saturday
It's another big Premiership/Coke weekend, starting now. First up - the Manchester derby on Setanta, followed by a full schedule of Premiership and Coke games. The big one may be tomorrow, but there is still plenty of interest today. Do join me for the action, won't you?

ManYoo seem to be cruising to another big win, currently winning 2-1 with goals from Roon and Saha. Here are the other fixtures:
Blackburn v Newcastle
Bolton v West Ham
Liverpool v Fulham
Middlesbro' v Wigan Athletic
Portsmouth v Everton
Tottenham v Charlton
Watford v Reading
Ronaldo has made it 3-1 United.
United have beaten Citeh 3-1 and have moved nine points ahead of Chelski ahead of this weekend's other fixtures.
Games are kicking off across the country. Leeds are at home to fourth place Derby, hoping to pick up some pace on some of the sides that are barely in the safe zone - Luton, Barnsley, Leicester and QPR.
FSC is gearing up for this afternoon's live match - Charlton against Spurs at Shite Fart Lane.
An early yellow for England hopeful Michael Dawson - a really rash challenge.
Two early goals in the Coke. Cardiff have taken the lead against Ipswich in order to go top again and unfortunately Luton have taken the lead away to Sunderland.
Bugger! Derby have taken the lead; Leeds are one down already. Still third bottom, though. Hull have to do something to sneak above us.
Fortunately Sunderland have drawn it up against Luton.
I do like the look of this Tom Huddleston guy who's taken Michael Carrick's place in Tottenham's midfield. Probably the most exciting young English prospect I've seen all season.
Nice one. Stoke have done us a favor and taken the lead against QPR.
Michael Taylor has given Pompey the lead against Everton with a forty yard volley that sounds like a Goal of the Season contender.
Dimitar Berbatov has put Spurs in the lead with a neat finish. I don't rate the guy but he is rattling them in these days.
Suddenly the goals are flying in in the Premiership. Wigan are one up against Boro, Newcastle have taken the lead through Martins, Pompey are two up and Taino has added a second against Charlton.
Southend have the shock lead of the day against Southhampton. It won't do them much good though. They're still rock bottom on fifteen points.
Newcastle are now 2-0 up through Steven Taylor.
Birmingham have taken the lead against Preston to go clear of Cardiff at the top.
Also Coventry in front of Burnley.
A freak own goal there from Dawson has gifted Charlton a way back into this game. Total shambles for Spurs - Chimbonda was skinned on the right, Dawson had no where to go and Robbo made a mess of it.
It seems all over for Blackburn. they're two down to Newcastle and have just lost Stephan Henchoz to a straight red card.
I don't think you can call Dawson's miscue a freak occurrance. Every time I've seen him play he's made Robinson work. It would be entertaining reading to see the stats of how many times he's cleared the ball over his own goal by inches, headed a clearance directly to the back post, etc. That he's been in the England team is a joke. He's rubbish.
I agree about Dawson - surely Macca has at least a half dozen center backs to go through before his name comes up.
Second half starting and my Leeds boys somehow have to invent a way back into their game vs. Derby.
Plucky Blackburn have pulled one back against Newcastle.
Today's results have changed the Prem. in interesting ways ahead of the big 'un tomorrow with Chelski and the Arse. Pompey are now in nosebleed territory in third, Spurs are up into the top six and Newcastle have clawed their way up into safe zone.
The Tractor Boyz have equalized against high flying Cardiff.
Not good news for England. Wigan keeper Chris Kirkland has been carted to hospital during half time for a suspected head injury.
Lovely first goal for Spurs from Steed Malbranque there. Nice knock-down from Berbatov and Malbranque steered home a low shot into the corner. 3-1.
Shame. Leicester have gone 1-0 up against Wolves. That pushes them out into safety.
What a cracker by Jermaine Defoe. He was put through by Lennon but still had a lot to do but just blasted it from about twenty yards. Spurs 4-1.
Poor Scott Carson - he's a good keeper, but he looks a bit shell-shocked after half a season behind this woeful Charlton defence.
Stevie G. has put Liverpool in front. First Ian Pearce gave away a pen. Stevie G. blasted it at the keeper, keeper parried it and he followed up. Liverpool up into fourth place.
Oh dear, Berbatov has steered in a fifth for Spurs. How bad are Charlton?!
Jamie Carragher has slid in a second for 'Pool to make them safe for the win today.
Southend have stuck in a second and now look good for a shock win.
Boro have equalized against Wigan.
Cardiff have taken the lead again against Ipswich.
Luis Garcia has put in a third goal for Liverpool against hopeless Fulham. Boy, do they need Clint Dempsey.
Ipswich have pulled another back against Cardiff. What a ding dong!
Colchester are cruising to a two-nil win over Palace, who are back in hot water.
Good old Keano has inspired his Sunderland side to pip Luton 2-1. Good news for us.
Ah lovely, Plymouth have taken the lead against Hull. All the other results are looking pretty good for us. We just need an equalizer against Derby and it'll be a pretty good day for us.
Another good result - Wolves have evened matters against Leicester.
Sheffield Wednesday have scored two quick goals to defeat Norwich. The Canaries could well be dragged in the relegation dogfight.
Aaron Lennon is making monkeys out of the Charlton defence. Excellent display today.
Norwich have pulled one back - come on you Whites!
And that's it in the televised match. Spurs have settled for 5-1. One more nail in the Charlton coffin. And with Watford only managing a draw against Reading, they also look destined for the drop. Probably just one more drop spot left in the Premiership. Let's hope today marks the beginning of a West Ham resurgence - they're up next against Bolton.
Hey guys, sorry I wasn't around. Went to a friend's house to watch the derby. Happy with the result. Not too happy with performance. Still, nine points clear!!!!
Sorry to John and Bob for your results
Sorry Trev - you really could've used some points today. Leeds too, more to the point.
No one has mentioned that, even though United are nine points clear, Chelski play three games before United take the field at Upton Park
Dave's just being coy. I believe the engravers were called two weeks ago.
