Soccer Saturday
Another Saturday, another opportunity for Leeds to save themselves. Unfortunately even a win keeps us rooted on the bottom of the Coke given Southend's spectacular win last night. Still, we need to keep focused on that fourth from bottom spot, which is five (or six) points away. We need a win today at the Elland against Palace. Join me for the action, lads.

I am here until the Leeds hoo-doo kicks in.
Reading have just scored their second.
Another Reading win. Coppell for England...or United!!
I could see Steve Coppell as a future England manager....before Psycho for sure. He at least knows how to get a team playing good football.
Here are the other Premiership fixtures for today:
Chelsea v Middlesbrough
Everton v Blackburn
Man Utd v Charlton
Newcastle v Liverpool
Portsmouth v Man City
Sheff Utd v Tottenham
West Ham v Watford
Hope everyone is following the big one on FSC
I am listeing to Talksport to keep track of all the games but it might give a goal away before it happens on the TV
Four words for you - Come on you Addicks!
two words for you.
SHUT IT
You can't really want Charlton to win.
Have some feeling for Johnno
Where's Skippy?
Hey, if West Ham beat Watford today, they'll be just fine.
No Ronaldo today, hope he is on the bench in case we need him
Spurs score a second minute goal at Sheff Utd. Good news for John
Barnsley are losing already
Yeah, lovely stuff. They're down in the drop zone pronto.
Spurs have scored against the Blades too. Good for the Hammers.
Coventry 1 Cardiff 0
Good shot by Park
I think that we can assume that Derby will knock off Hull today. So, with Luton not playing, Leeds could pick up some territory with a result today.
Newcastle 0 Liverpool 1
Bellamy scores against his old club
Nice save, Scottie Carson! Former Leeds academy player.
Everton are one up
Preston are losing to Wolves
I am going to slow down so i don't get kicked off
Charlton are doing well.
Pardew has got Charlton doing well.
The Hammers were too quick to dump him
Coventry are leading Cardiff. They've really dropped off lately, which I'm happy about. I didn't want to see bloody Peter Ridsdale back up in the Prem. again.
Oh my GOD, West Ham are losing
Barnsley are two down, now come on Leeds
Yeah, sorry Trev. The Happy Hammers are on a sticky wicket now. Come on!
I agree with you about Pardew. Unfortunately he was nobbled by the Argie deal which lost him the dressing room.
WBA 0 Sotton 1
No Ronaldo on the bench. Larsson is there though
Ferdinand on the RIGHT WING
You're missing Skippy here. No dodgy penalties today, I reckon.
Viduka should have scored with a header from six yards at Stamford Bridge
Zenden's made it two nil for Pool at St. James's Park. They're flying!
YES!!!!!!
Park!!!!
Totally jammy goal. Deflected cross, bobbles up awkwardly. Park is first to the ball.
The Blades have tied it up
United look shaky today, but let's get a third 4-0 victory in a row!!
Bugger - this isn't looking good for the Hammers.
I don't know where you got the Liverpool score.
It is 1-1
Derby are one up and SO ARE LEEDS!!!
Heath with the goal
The Tractor Boys are losing to Leicester
Come on Boro
Correction on the Liverpool score. Zenden should've but didn't score. And now Martins has equalized for them.
Glory, glory Leeds United! We're one up and Derby have stuck in a goal against Luton. Things are looking brighter!
Do you bother reading my postings!!!!
I announce that and you didn't reply.
YOU PLONKER
Hull have tied it up with Derby
Sorry, mate. I missed it while I was looking elsewhere.
Bugger! Still, a pretty good matchday so far. We're two (or three) points from safety.
Our goal was a classic header from a corner scored by one of the guys we picked up in the transfer window - Matt Heath. It's his debut for us.
Long may it continue
Cursed?
1532: Lucas Neill is hobbling off. The Aussie defender has only just come back after he was injured on his debut and now he seems to have an ankle injury. He is fuming - as is manager Alan Curbishley.
Yeah, they seem to be, unfortunately. I didn't realize he was playing today.
Great play by Roon, so unlucky
Nearly a brilliant goal from Roon. He is a daft Scouser but what a player!
Come on United, GET THE CLINCHER
Someone named Casper Ankergren is in goal for us today. He's the fifth keeper we've used this season - tells a story, doesn't it?
1538: Crazy scenes at Upton Park. Bobby Zamora steals the ball as Watford keeper Ben Foster is bouncing it. Foster recovers to snatch it back - but the linesman is flagging for a foul anyway. If that had gone in and been disallowed, West Ham would have rightly felt hard done by.
Rio gets hit in the old Ghoulies
Get up Rio!
Cambridge are one up.
They need that win to get out of the relegation zone
West Brom tie it up
Cardif tie it up
Saha - what a waster!
agreed.
BUGGER CHELSEA JUST SCORED
Derby are back on top of Hull
Yeah, Drogba with his umpteenth goal of the season. Without him and Essien, they'd be mid-table.
Lovely jubbly. Now Barnsley are again in that coveted fourth bottom slot.
Half time whistles going around the country - it's looking good so far.
Sounds like terrible defending by Boro.
Boro have blown a good start
According to my figuring, as it looks like now
19 QPR 32
20 Luton 32
21 Barnsley 32
22 Hull 31
23 Southen 31
24 Leeds 30
One more win next week and you could move up to 20th
1605: Carlos Tevez is on for West Ham, replacing Bobby Zamora. The Hammers fans are pleased.
Come on United, stop sleepwalking
That's right - it's really packed now at the bottom. But we need the win or else we'll lose touch with that pack.
Actually QPR are on 33 points, but otherwise you're correct. Basically six teams in the relegation battle. I reckon that Norwich and Leicester on 37 are well out of it.
Righto sir
Sad to say, but can you honestly see West Ham picking up 20 points in what's left of the season? I can't.
I don't think that they will need that many. I know that it is the 40pt mark but I don't see that much is needed
What's your guess on the minimum points needed? Wigan have 25 and superior goal difference now.
I will take a stab at it.
How about 38.
Yours?
Tevez has made West Ham play much better
I'll stick with 40 minimum. I'd love to see the Blades go down, but they seem to have the ability to scrap for it.
Charlton, btw, are not out of this game by half. Come on you Addicks!
Grimsby, in the relegation zone in League 2, win 6-0 away from home last week. This week, fall two down inside twenty minutes. Are now winning 3-2
Leicester now two nil up on the Tractor Boyz.
Giggsy coming off for Larsson - good move?
Larsson is going to come on for Giggs.
I think we need someone to spark us.
I am not sure about Giggs.
West Ham have a pen. So do Shef Utd
Shef score.
WEST HAM DON'T!!!!!!!!
On talksport, they ask Alvin Martin about the pen.
He said, "don't make me comment"
I am nervous here. WE NEED ANOTHER GOAL
Oh dear, it gets worse. Enjoy Tampa, Sir Trev and check in with us if you get up to N. Florida.
Oh dear, it gets worse. Enjoy Tampa, Sir Trev and check in with us if you get up to N. Florida.
Talksport has said they think it will 35 or 36 for safety
Really?! I don't think it's ever been that low. West Ham got relegated a couple of seasons back with 42 or 43 points. Does that mean that the Premiership is getting crapper?
Useless by Saha
Bugger, Chelski just scored
Yeah, deflected shot from Arjen Robben. That must be game over at Stamford Bridge.
Nice studs on the shin from Saha.
Roughly twenty minutes left - hang on you Whites!
and REDS
The Toon have a pen
and score
Sunderland score, could Keene take them up?
LEEDS ARE TWO UP
Bloody HELL, that was close
Yess! Robbie Blake with Leeds's second.
Saha is stinking up the joint
Yes, I agree. He should've gone off for Larrsson instead of Giggs who was ripping it up. He is an old man, though.
Richardson on for the disappointing Saha.
I hope Henrik stays after March
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good old Rooney makes it
That should wrap it up. Good stuff from Larrsson. Persistence from Roon. Bit scrappy goal. It's an ugly win today - the mark of champions.
What a cool cross
Let's get two more for an "ugly" 4-0 win
Chelski are three up
Uh oh, Palace have scored.
Knobbly Knee time
Are you going to watch the late match.
Are there going to be any goals?
Neither team has scored for FOUR HOURS!!!
Did you know Ray Parlour is playing for Hull?
They just scored an equalizer with two minutes to go at Pride Park.
Not good news
A ho-hum victory for United.
Still six points(really seven) clear.
11 games to go.
Win nine of them, and it is ours
Shef Utd beat Spurs
Yes! We hung on for a really important win. Hull may have tied it up at the death, but it was still a really good day for us. Congrats to ManYoo too.
I'm off to do some interview transcription work. Will check in with you later. Good chatting with you mate.
Rumors are flying around on the "To Ell and Back" discussion boards tonight about the identity of the Judas that shopped the team sheet for today's game to Palace officials before the match. Most have settled on Shaun Derry, our center mid, who used to play at Palace. Apparently whoever it is will be sacked forthwith. Good riddance to bad rubbish!
Also Palace should be brought up on charges by the FA. Southern scum.
I like the name of that website.
I noticed that it is To ELLAND Back. Very clever use of the word Elland. I wonder if they got the idea from the famous Only Fools and Horses Christmas special "To Hull and Back"
