Saturday, Saturday, Saturday!
My Leeds have been saved a near inevitable thrashing at the hands of Birmingham by a rubbish pitch, but there are still plenty of games of interest on today. In a few minutes, FSC will broadcast Chelsea vs. Wigan followed by Blackburn vs. Arsenal at noon. Join me?

In the early game Liverpool have tonked Watford 3-0 with a brace from Crouchie and one from Bellamy. That pushes them up into third place and should take the sting out of those two games against the Arse.
Oops, we both posted at the same time.
We will use this one.
United bring back Scholes, Vandersar, and Vidic
Larrson gets his league debut. Saha is on the bench.
Giggs is replaced by Park but everyone else looks good.
Heya, Dave! Sorry about that. So Larrson rather than Saha, eh? What do you make of that?
Here are the other matches in the Premiership today:
Bolton v Man City
Charlton v Middlesbrough
Chelsea v Wigan
Man Utd v Aston Villa
Sheff Utd v Portsmouth
West Ham v Fulham
Because of my mojo, Leeds will not lose today.
There is a big game with Hull and QPR
Barnsley should struggle against Preston.
A draw and a loss, what do you think?
Absolutely. Charlton vs. Boro is a dogfight too. Boro could easily get dragged into the drop zone. I still think it's between Wigan and the Blades for the drop, though. The Hammers should dig themselves out.
Wow, there are more than two of us!!
Welcome Trev, of course you will scarper off soon.
As for Lars instead of Saha, I just think Saha is given more time.
The match has started at OT.
COME ON YOU REDS!!
A draw and a loss would suit me just fine.
Good luck to the Hammers, Sir Trev!
Come on you Latics!
Top of the league matches are next week.
Liverpool host Chelski Saturday morning on Setanta and The Arse host United on FSC on Sunday
Never even heard of him, I don't like....
Squishy?
Oooh, Larrson almost scored again.
Great save from Sorrenson in the goal
YES,
PARK SCORES FOR UNITED
Oh, Quashie - yeah, I love that name. Although, commentators usually pronounce is "Qua-sea" for some reason. Good signing.
As for the WH signings
I know him.
Nigel QWAZIE(well, that is the way you pronounce it)
He is a Scotland international(with an English accent)
He played for Pompey under Happy 'Arry.
'Arry brought him to Sotton with him.
Then he went to WBA
He is a touch central midfileder.
Speaking of central midfielder... Carrick has score his first for United.
TWO NIL
UNITED ARE ALL OVER VILLA
What a crappy goal from Lamps
The Tractor Boys are losing to Keano's boys
Oh, that was a rubbish goal from Lamps. What on earth was Chris Kirkland thinking? Why don't we have any decent English keepers anymore?
So both top sides are leading already. Where's the fun in that?
uh oh,
Fulham are winning at Upton Park
I'm going to have to write FSC about showing games live. I read about Lamps's free kick a good three minutes before they showed it going in.
Totally agree.
They seem to catch up at half time.
Southend are winning at Cardiff.
Are they going to survive?
The Blades have scored against Pompey
Bugger
Nope, the Shrimpers are doomed.
Not good news for West Ham so far.
They are losing and Shef Utd are winning.
At least Wigan are losing
Play up Pompey....Pompey play up....Come on you Seasiders!
What do you mean doomed?
If the score stays the same they will have the same amount of points as Leeds!!!!
We're doomed too, eh?
Jose Mourinho seems to think that Essien can play anywhere. Today he's playing at Center Back. I'm surprised that he doesn't have him selling pies at half time!
AND their goal differences are the same -22
YIKES!!!
By the way, United's GD is +36
West Ham have tied it up
AND their goal differences are the same -22
YIKES!!!
By the way, United's GD is +36
West Ham have tied it up
Charlton have scored
Well done, the Hammers.
Tevez went off on 13 minutes for West Ham and replaced by Zamora.
Zamora is the goalscorer
Sorry about that double posting.
It is delaying badly when I post
Yes, it's only alphabetical order now that's saved us. One more goal for the Shrimpers and we'll be at the lowest league position in club history. (sigh)
RONALDO MAKES IT THREE!!!!!!
Maybe Leeds have scored more???
Come on Wigan
Mickey Adams should be in real trouble at Coventry. They are four nil down at home to Palace.
Evra is off hurt.
Sorry John
Evra is back on.
He has been very good for United.
After last season, I didn't rate him.
He is keeping Heinze out of the team.
There is talk of Gabby going to Inter.
I don't want him to leave.
Rooney almost scored!!!!
Coventry gets a goal back before half
Half time at OT
THREE-NIL
Very satisfying.
Could have been many more.
QPR are edging Hull at the moment - I suppose that's for the best. It does keep us four points from safety.
Funny story - Steven Cohen apparently put one of those gigantic Wallbangers things with a Chelsea crest on his garage door of his home in LA and the neighborhood association complained and had him take it down!
I did tell you that the boys' uncle got them a Wallbanger.
A Ronaldo and huge crest.
Lovely sight
No changes for United in the second half.
More of the same please
The Hammers have scored an early goal
Yes, Benayoun has knocked in a second for West Ham - they're 2-1 up!
Took them 14 seconds to score
What do you think of the news that Capello says that Becks will never play for Real again? He will train with them but not play.
Will he go to the Galaxy on loan for the beginning of the season. Or somewhere else?
Hard to say. The announcement was that he'd join them at the end of the Spanish season, so perhaps he'll stay fit by training with them but won't play in the first team. Shame.
Villa have scored.
Bugger
They better not give another goal away
I am a little nervous at the moment
Come on you Villans!
Chelsea don't look that good.
Bugger they score as I type.
The Hammers give up another one
Wigan have gifted one to Robben. Shame.
But Preston are one up - hurrah!
What a hopeless bit of defending by Wigan.
Two gifts for both goals.
Oh by the way Gator-Bob, SHUT IT!!!!
United starting to have their chances again
Shame. Fulham have equalized through Brian McBride.
The Hammers have scored again.
The Israli nets another one.
What a thriller at Upton Park!
Park off... Saha on.
Rooney drops to left wing position
Bugger
Three nil
United have shot saved off the line
Robben is absolutely ripping the poor Wigan defense apart. Good stuff ending up with a deflected goal off Kirkland. He's been to blame for two goals today.
Did you get my email about Jose? Scary stuff, eh?
Charlton have let two quick goals in
What Jose email?
Rooney off the bar.
He has been so close all day to score.
I sent you one about his connection to several assassinations in Russia.
Zamora has been sent off at Upton Park
We need Pompey to score at Bramall Lane
Larsson off for Solskjaer
Carrick off for O'Shea
Villa should be pleased with this second half.
Let's hope they start playing better.
United don't play them again
Yes, Pompey have scored
Four nil to Chelski
Drogba has gone ahead of Ronaldo in goalscoring list
At last a decent goal for Chelski. Good cross in and a good header from Drogs. 4-0.
They win Four nil but still not impressive or entertaining.
I haven't been knocked off yet.
What's up with that?
Hull score a late equalizer
SO HAVE FULHAM!!!!
United win 3-1
Boy that hurts West Ham
West Ham have been held.
It doesn't look good for them.
They needed to win that
Ahhh, Fulham have scored at the death. Sorry, Trev. It just wasn't to be today.
Derby score a late winner versus Wednesday
I'm gonna hit the shower and will be back for the Arse in a few minutes.
I will be here
Wash well
Uh oh,
Hull have scored a late late late winner.
NOT GOOD NEWS AT ALL!!!!
I've just had a singalong to "Leeds United Calypso" and I'm back.
Here are the sides for today:
Blackburn: Friedel, Ooijer, Henchoz, Khizanishvili, Neill, Emerton, Savage, Mokoena, Pedersen, Derbyshire, McCarthy
Subs: Brown, Kerimoglu, Nonda, McEveley, Peter
Arsenal: Lehmann, Hoyte, Toure, Senderos, Clichy, Hleb, Fabregas, Silva, Rosicky, Henry, Van Persie
Subs: Almunia, Julio Baptista, Flamini, Djourou, Adebayor
Talksport people are saying that Graham Poll was useless again at Upton Park.
Don't know where five minutes of injury time came from. Fulham scored in the plus three
Sorry Steve but
COME ON ROVERS!!!!!
Ooh, that should have been a goal
Close thing there for the Rovers. Arsenal really need a classic center back to handle those set pieces. Should be meat and drink for Premiership defenses and yet they give up a lot of goals at corners.
Gilberto is off.
Savage is always involved in stuff
What? Oh, that was absurd. A nasty challenge from Robbie Savage, Gilbo reacts in anger and gets a red card. Silly silly decision. Savage is a thug.
I am fed up with them always complaining about the foreigners being the divers
HE IS WELSH
This is the sort of game where Arsenal need to show their mettle. Cold wintry day up North, away from home, a physical side. They'll need to dish some out here and get stuck in.
Blackburn are playing the Arse too high up the pitch. They're gonna get burned by TH-14 and VP before long, mark my words.
Bugger.
The Arse score.
Should Lucas Neil been sent off?
Now you have to admit RVP dives just as much as some others
Really - you didn't think Neill caught him? I did. Should've got a red.
I am not saying that one.
I am talking about the free kick won outside the box.
1. Referee was completely correct to send Gilbo off. If Gilbo doesn't react, Savage gets his customary yellow and we stroll on. Now it's a slog without our best defensive cover in the mid. Paul Walsh says that it was a two yellow affair but he's dead wrong. Gilbo lashed out and he deserved to go. And he's stupid to lash out. Who doesn't know that that kind of provocation is the only thing Savage can offer. He's a shit footballer and a obnoxious little thug.
2. Neil should go. He was the last man back and a carthorse like Henchoz is the same as no cover at all. Ref got that one wrong.
3. Kolo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Second half starting. I reckon your lot can see this one out, Gooner.
Blackburn fans chanting "Soft Southern bastards - you're only soft southern bastards." And then the Arse fans responding - I can't make out the chant though. Good moment, though. You just don't get that atmosphere back here.
If you can get three points from the first three and then beat your relegation opponents you'll be in decent shape. On their display today, Wigan should be joining in the drop zone soon.
Matt Derbyshire misses his second sitter of the match - this one seems to be petering out. Even Arsene can't be bothered, yanking off Van Persie, who's been Arsenal's best player. He's gonna defend the one-nil to the Arsenal.
What a classic TH-14 goal. Incredible. Goal of the season contender!!!!! WOW!
Nasty challenge there from Tugay. Caught Fabregas on the knee and then dragged down his ankle. X rated. Should've been off there.
Full-time: A good 2-0 win away for the Arsenal. It's the sort of game that they hate but need to win to keep the pressure on the big boys. It'll put them back in fourth position, hopping over Bolton.
Excellent blogging with you lot today. Maybe the ManYoo hoodoo on LOB is over, Dave?
I wasn't knocked off the computer but kicked out the roon so the boys and friends could play Wii.
Great second goal from TH14
I agree about the tackle on Fab was bad.
I was hoping he couldn't continue and not play next week.
It was good that I wasn't kicked off.
See you for some of the cup games on FSC mid week?
Have a great weekend.
Dave
"Kicked out of the Roon?" Is that what happens when you cross Mr. Potato Head? Kick in the goolies for your trouble?
Definitely check in with you midweek.
Excellent result over the X-rated Rovers. Sparky seems to have rented the Vinnie Jones version of Mean Machine and taken it to heart. Neil, Tugay, Savage, that other Antipodean tosser, they're butchers, not footballers. Credit Piltdown Sam, very few of his Horde are the hatchet men that Sparky turns out.
So yes, very happy to have finished the series of matches against them. And may they struggle and rot for the rest of the season. Disgusting.
One more note. The player that Arsenal wanted but got turned down before we brought Henry in? Barn-door Nonda!
