I should mention that my Leeds boys are in a spot of bother too. They're away to Wolves, who are pushing for a playoff spot, today. I don't fancy it - I'd take a draw and hope that others around us don't get any points. Yes? Thankyouverymuch.
Sounds like Carlito is getting booed by the Addicks crowd - why?
I have moved over
Soton already one up against the Tractor Boys.
Whew, the Addicks are going hell for leather right from the whistle. Hammers just trying to hang on.
Tractor Boys are losing again. This time to Sotton
Konchesky goes into the ref's book early on for a two putted lunge from a throw in. You can tell the Hammers are tense.
Looks like the Arse have loaned out Alexandre Song to Charlton. He's rubbish.
Did you see that Terry is fit for the Carling Cup Final
Cambridge have been pulled back
Goal for Boro against Reading.
Knock Reading for six for them to be down for Tuesday
Good to hear.
Mark Viduka has put Boro in front against Reading, apparently with a "cheeky backheel." Sounds like a certain Denis Law goal of which I'm particularly fond.
Rugby Update
After six minutes
Scotland 0 Italy 21
uh oh, Hull are beating the Brummies
Ooh, dear. That was nasty again from Konchesky. He went right over the ball and was lucky not to connect with Song's knee there. That could easily have been a second yellow. He has to settle down.
Your backheel comment... up your nose wtih a rubber hose
Boy, The Hammers have been lucky
Not good news, but I have faith in the Brum. They're a good side.
Ooh, close call there for the Hammers.
It's bloody Dean Windass who's scored for Hull, of all people. Great name.
Shef Wed get a quick equalizer after Southend go ahead
Now it's Quashie - second Hammer into the book. That could've been a straight red. What on earth are they playing. This is XXX stuff. Play some football, you Hammers!
Thank goodness. The last thing we need is for the Shrimpers to win.
I agree
Pool have a pen
Tevez seems like he's never met his teammates: every touch is too heavy, balls back to him go nowhere. What's up?
Crouch has been cut in the head with a flying boot.
Lots of blood
They score the pen.
Good news for The Hammers.
Keep the Blades sort of close
Stitch him up - we need him for the Israel game. Come on, Pool. It would be lovely to see the Blades dragged back into the relegation battle, but the reality is that they're probably two wins from safety.
Should Becks be in the squad next week
Crouch is coming off
Robbie Fowler scores. I've heard a rumor that he might be coming to the NE Revolution to join Stevie Nichol.
Nah, I'd leave Becks out. Once you decide to move in a new direction, you have to keep that door shut. We've got the side; it's just a matter of getting people like Lamps and Stevie G. to play the way that they do for their club sides.
There is a goal at the Valley.
Not happened on TV yet
Liverpool get a second pen
Bad miss from Konchesky there. That was a real chance - the Hammers' first.
I think Becks has deserved a call up
Oh dear, well, Ambrose did look likely to score as long as he had two legs left to stand on. Possible offside on Bent?
The Hammers are going down.
Liverpool score a second pen
Keano's at it again.
Sunderland 1 Derby 0
Robbie Fowler sticks away his second penalty of the day. Over and out for the Blades at Anfield.
That goal seems to have woken the Hammers up. They're going for it now.
Why did they need waking up
Wednesday are beating Southend
Why did they need waking up
Wednesday are beating Southend
Tevez should have given it up
Top of the table WBA have taken the lead away to Leicester.
Tevez is rubbish for West Ham.
Wahay! We're off the bottom of the table for the first time in a month!
Plymouth have scored at Loftus Road
Keano's Sunderland are leading Derby.
Lovely jubbly. Good stuff for the Leeds boys. Come on you Whites!
Duh, I announced that a while ago.
READ will you
UH OH.... Charlton score again
Birmingham are losing AND have had a man sent off
Bloody hell, how does a full back score like that. He shouldn've been channeled out to the corner flag. More holes in the Hammers defense than at your average Dunkin' Donuts.
Leicester have tied it up with West Brom
Atrocious defending by West Ham
Come on you Brummies!
Come Hammers, get a goal before half.
Good shot
Decent effort from Quashie, but what on earth was that follow up from Tevez - more like a backpass.
El Kharkouri goes into the book - Charlton's first.
Coventry have just scored at Norwich.
They score right when Talksport are giving a report
That goal was offside
What a hospital ball from Christian Dailly!
OH DEARY DEARY ME!!!
Is Curbs in trouble?
D'oh! 3-0 for Charlton. Curbs wants to crawl under a bus. The Hammers just didn't have their heads right going into this match. How can you give up three goals in the first half. I can only imagine the comments on 606 tonight from the East End of London!
How can they not be up for this match
If a few teams at the bottom of the Coke start winning, Norwich could just get dragged back into it. How many points do you automatically need for safety in the Coke? 45? 48? I don't know. We've never been here before!
Leeds have been luck but they have made it to half time unscathed.
Palace are beating Luton
Lovely! Luton are just about out of danger, but everything helps.
Half-time at the Valley - it's all over.
Yeah, it sounds as if we've been under the cosh all first half. As I said, I'd be happy with a 0-0 draw.
I'm going to get a Skippy Wallbanger so that I can throw darts at his groin.
Second half starting. Marlon Harewood has replaced Matthew Etherington who has been disappointing. Where's Sir Trev - hiding under a bed?
Charlton look like they're going for the "Oles" already dinking it about in the middle of the park.
Nearly a fourth for Charlton there - Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink off the post.
Off the post from Jimmy Floyd.. another Ex Leeds
Come on, score from this free kick
nice effort
good header
Luton has tied it up
No goals yet in the second half - suits me.
I spoke to soon - rats!
QPR have tied it up as well.
Hull are two up as well.
You really need to shut it
Another raking shot from JFH.
Double rats - that puts QPR out of the relegation zone.
Derby have scored as well
AND Southend have tied it up
Just when I thought things were going well, Hull have doubled their lead against Brum. How can they allow Hull to win?
That's a bad couple minutes for you
We need the win now - come on you Whites. One in off the bum from a bobbly corner.
That last effort from Kepa sums up the Hammers' afternoon - limp and off target.
Here is the start a good five minutes.
Luton are losing again
Now come on Brum, Wednesday and Leeds
Mascherano has been having a good game for Liverpool today. How could he not get a game at Upton Park
Boro two up with Reading
Liverpool score again
Cambridge tie it up with Southport.
Just in case Phil takes a gander
UH OH
Wolves have broken the deadlock
Bugger! Bugger! Bugger!
Pool score a fourth. Score all your goals this week and don't get any next weekend
We're now rock bottom and six points from safety. We're doomed.
West Ham too - they're goners.
I don't agree with your numbers
West Ham, what is going on?
You're right - only four points from safety with the goal difference.
Hammers now 4-0 down. Utter despair.
What's the point of dumping Curbs now? Hang on to him and have him get you back up, I say.
How did United lose to this lot?
Plymouth down to ten men vs QPR
Hull are the only team in the bottom half of the division that are winning
I agree
West Ham should never have sacked Pardew. He was the right man and would have turned it around. Look what he is doing for Charlton
Reading have pulled one back
Yeah, but he's gonna take Charlton down too. Do you honestly see either Wigan or Sheffield Utd. not staying up?
Looks like there is no 606 tonight because of the Six Nations
It's all over at the Valley.
Doesn't look good for Sir Trev
They're calling it a massive win for Charlton but it's not. They have no chance.
Over at Wolves
Sorry mate
Sunderland scored a last minute winner
Only a few moments left for the Leeds boys to pull out a draw - come on you Whites!
Rats!
Wednesday score a late winner against Southend
Ah well, it's been chatting with you as usual. Enjoy your weekend, mate.
Leeds are STILL not losing touch
Fowler has scored three league goals all season.
ALL of them have been scored against Shef Utd , ALL of them have been scored from the penalty spot and ALL of them have been penalties resutling from a foul on Stevie G.
Just thought you would like to know
Bad day for Bob and John and a lucky day for me.
I am stunned that I have not been kicked off. I have been on since 7:45.
I am going to watch the last match as well.
Good to talk to you Bob
Just saw United highlights.
Fulham were very unlucky(but I don't care)
Great goal by Giggs. Lucky goal by Ronaldo
I wish I could say that I'll enjoy a bit of competitive banter with you in the Coke next year Johnno, but you'll have to adopt Crewe as your team for that to happen. We're going down.
Ah, good old Kate with her friend in prog rock Peter Gabriel. Love that tune and the vid too that shows them back to back with the camera panning around them. Wouldn't you kill to see those together live?
Thanks for the pick me up.
