A BIG BIG DAY
Of course, my main attention will be on the Riverside this afternoon but it is a big day for our very own GatorBob.
A big day of important fixtures.
Barnsley v Sunderland, 13:30
Cardiff v Norwich, 15:00
Colchester v Coventry, 15:00
Crystal Palace v Leicester, 15:00
Hull v Preston, 15:00
Ipswich v Southend, 15:00
Leeds v Luton, 15:00
QPR v Sheff Wed, 15:00
Stoke v Southampton, 15:00
Could be a GREAT day for Leeds and may it won't.
Hope to have some company. I will be around a little after kick off because of Jonathan's soccer game.
Heads up, the clocks changed tonight but I don't think they do in England. That is why the times for tomorrow's Cup ties are all off.

Still no goals in the early kick off between Barnsley and Sunderland. We REALLY want Keano to get another win.
The Tractor Boys will then beat Southend, Wednesday will do the same to QPR as they did to Leeds last week, Preston will keep their promotion charge with a win against Hull AND Leeds will knock off Luton at Elland Road.
All of these are not far fetched!!!!
One way traffic at Oakwell
It has been all Sunderland but Barnsley did have one chance and should have scored.
Shame we can't get the Coke online.
The Beeb are letting the listeners vote for the game this afternoon. Leeds are winning with 35%
Morning, Dave. You're just teasing me with all this "Big Big Day" talk. You know as well as I know - we're going down.
Keano's Sunderland has done the biz for us - they're up at at Barnsley. It all helps. I can't believe that I'm getting sucked into this again.
Sunderland now 2-0 up! Hurrah! Now we need some help from PNE and the Tractor Boyz.
From 365: "No goals yet at Elland Road, but Leeds have just hit the bar twice in one goalmouth scramble."
Come on you Whites!
I am here.. Jon's team won 7-1
So far so good
Uh oh, Hull have scored vs Preston
Bugger!
How many did Jonathan score then?
I think he only scored two
Sunderland have moved into third with the win over Barnsley. I can well remember at the beginning of the season and got knocked out of the Carling Cup first round. Keano - manager of the season? Next ManYoo manager?
Ah, a chip off the old sniffer block then.
I would say he has a good shot at it
AND Kathy's block as well
Barnet 0 Stockport 1
Did you know that Stockport have won 10 straight with 10 straight clean sheets!!!! #11
Uh oh, Southend have scored at Portman Road
My scenario is going down the tubes at them moment.
Of course, so many times it starts off good and then goes pear shaped. The opposite will happen today.
Just heard a report on Talksport.
ALL LEEDS
What is going on!? I told you, you're just teasing with all this "it could be a great day" stuff.
Southend have scored again!!!
Yikes!!
I thought Ipswich had turned the corner after a couple of wins
Bollocks - they're two up. Come on Tractor Boyz - pull your fingers out!
I should have never said anything about Stockport.
They have conceded a goal
Half time at Elland Road.
They are looking good and being roared on by a large crowd but still no goals.
They hit the bar for the third time in the closing minutes of the half.
My scenario is all going to be right in the second half.
I HAVE FAITH
I'm glad you have faith. Even the blokes at Leeds United Worldwide have given up the ghost!
Forest give away an equalizer within a minute to start the second half.
Stockport are now losing
LEEDS HAVE SCORED
Cresswell
Everything has started to turn
From Talksport it was a great goal
Made by Kishishev(on loan from Charlton)
Scored by Cresswell.
Kishishev has been the star of the show
Way hay! I think that what did the trick was that I took the lucky shirt off at the half and took a shower. Fresh start, eh?
QPR 0 Sheff Wed 1
IT IS ALL CHANGING!!!!!!!
I told you, NEVER wear the shirt.
I am not even wearing my MU watch for today's match.
The boys are forced to take off any United stuff.
Come on Preston and Town
That's child abuse that is; I'll have the authorities after you.
As it stands, Leeds are two off safety
All Ipswich at PR
Yeah, it is starting to turn around with Luton and QPR losing. Come on Tractor Boyz!
Child abuse? For what?
For making them wear it or take it off?
I believe forcing kids to go without clothing constitutes neglect, mate. Or are you saying that they actually have clothes that aren't ManYoo related?
We're really three points from safety given that we now have a -25 goal difference. Shocking!
A few things!!!
I know the GD is horrible
What's up with Preston - they've had no goals on target today - you'd think they had nothing to play for.
Talksport it should be three nil for Hull.
Of course, PNE are going to score two late goals.
Leeds dominating with some great saves from the keeper.
Let's hope it doesn't hurt them
QPR 1 Wed 1
Penalty
Bugger
Come on you Whites!
Hull 2 Preston 0
Bugger again
Yeah, it's turning pear-shaped. We really need that win now.
Everything is ok.
If it stays the same.
Four points will separate the bottom SIX
I sense that I am going to be kicked off soon.
So, I am still here until United beat Boro
True, even just with Barnsley and Luton (that's key!) losing, it's a good day for us. Can't be greedy.
Bad News
Tractor Boys are down to ten men
Deliberate handball - what a prawn!
Nine minutes to go at Elland Road.
The Whites are getting a little edgy
His first booking was for lip, a big prawn
I can imagine the edginess. We haven't won in six matches and this one is huge. We've had a massive advantage all day; let's hope we can hang on.
David Healey is on now.
Just saw another busy midweek for the Championship.
Tuesday has Leeds visiting Leicester, Southend hosting Burnley, QPR at Derby
PENALTY AT ELLAND ROAD for LUTON
SAVED!!!
Talksport say it was a hell of a save
Incredible! That may just be our season saved! If we muck our way out of this mess, that penalty save may be worth millions.
Just about three minutes to go...
Come on!
My Tuesday games got interupted.
The other big game is Hull is visiting Kennilworth Road
Palace have scored a second against Leicester. Let's hope they are bummed for Tuesday
News from Elland Road....waiting for Talksport...don't know what it is.. they have gone somewhere else.. still waiting...
,,,QPR have drawn.. still waiting on the news from ER
IT IS OVER!!!!! A great win for LEEDS.
I have been behind you all the way.
Do I get any good thoughts for the Cup today?
I thought not
Yes! Fulltime! Massive win for the Whites. Let's hope that this can inject a little belief into the camp.
Grudgingly, go on you Red Devils.
I'm going to fix some lunch and will be back in a jiffy for the Cup match.
All the scores are final in the Championship except Stoke beating Sotton.
Congrats.
The table is like this
Hulll 38
Barnsley 38
QPR 36
Luton 36
Southend 35
Leeds 34
No way are they out of it.
Good day
Thanks, I think we will need your charity today
Luton had a goal disallowed
United's team
VDS
Neville
Ferdinand
Heinze
Ronaldo
Carrick
O'Shea
Giggs
Rooney
Larsson
A strong team. Scholes is suspendend
Just saw on the Beeb
VDS pulls a calf muscle during warm up
United will have no keeper on the bench
Three at the back for you lot?
Sorry, forgot Vidic
Kick off, listening to it on manutd.com
Ronaldo already being booed
Oh, that helps. I didn't fancy Rio tangling with Viduka and Yakubu on his own - they're a handful.
Yes! Keep on booing you Riverside lads.
Early chance for last game man Larsson
I heard he had another horrendous dive on Wednesday and picked up a yellow card.
First time this season, both sets of fans are actuall singing,
Que Sera Sera... we're going to Wembley
No it was not.
He was tripped over by a leg but he did make more of it but it was a foul
There was a great bit on the Game podcast about current favorite fan songs. My favorite - although it is very harsh on the Hammers - was from the Spurs vs. WHU match. Spurs fans singing (to the tune of "That's Amore")
"When the ball hits your head
And you sit in Row Zed.
That's ZAMORA!"
Great save by Kuszczak
Sounds like a real cup tie infront of a full house
Viduka is wearing gloves on a balmy spring evening
I have another one....
Aussie poof!
Give it to me
I'll be sing the first one all day. I have the boys already singing it in the basement
Alright then - this is Fulham fans addressing rich ManYoo toffs:
"Does your butler know you're here?
Does your butler know you are here?!"
Useless
Didn't think you'd like it as much. Oh well, please yourself.
GOAL FOR ROONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Back in with the goals. First goal in 8 games
Now for my song, I can hear the fans singing.
Wembley, Wembley
We're the famous Man United and we're going to Wembley
Wembely, Wembley
We're the famous Man United and we're going to Wembley
Here's how 365 described it: "The England man has looked out of sorts but finishes with aplomb from outside of the box. Ryan Giggs takes credit for the assist after a lovely pass finds Rooney in space. Woodgate and co. gave Rooney way too much space."
Lovely Jubbly
Did you like my song?
United's performances recently have been shaky and I believe this is their blip but they are playing well today.
Giggs hits the post on a volley
The song is a bit pat - try again.
United have to get another goal with all this pressure
The song has been sung since the year 2000!!!!!
It should be music to everyone's ears
More like: "Bring out the prawn sandwiches!"
If Keano took over the ManYoo job, would he get rid of the executive boxes? I'd like to see that!
Boro have tied it up.
United phaffed about with it in the box!!!
Bugger
WOW! I did not expect that - sounds like a cracking volley from Cattermole.
Good time for Boro to score. Teeside must be going potty.
Half time
United should well clear!!!!
Now I have to be nervous for the second half.
If this goes to a replay it will be on Monday March 19.
Two days after a home game to Rovers
Larsson gets fouled and Woodgate should have been booked BUT the ref books Larsson for diving.
According to the commentators, it was absolutely a diabolical descion
You'd like to avoid that replay, eh?
Darn right.
The second half has just kicked off
Grudgingly - Come on you Red Devilers.
Boro have scored in the first minute of the second half!!!!
BUGGER!!!!!!!
From a corner.
United are having major problems from set plays
Keep your good thoughts to yourself!!!!
I'll take that replay right now
Bloody hell, Dave - what on earth is going on at the Riverside. You lot haven't lost a game in yonks.
I will keep my bad LUFC karma to meself.
United should have had a penalty.
Boro are still looking dangerous.
COME ON UNITED!!!
Thank you,
Come on, let me hear COME ON BORO from you
Let me hear it. It getting sort of late
Come on Boro!
30 minutes to go
PLENTY OF TIME, especially with the Dahlgren hoodoo taken off
United get their first corner of the second half
Penalty for United for a handball from the corner
COME ON!!
Ronaldo to take it.
GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the anti United Karma
You're welcome - will you settle for the draw now?
Well, still give negative thoughts and we could get the winner
Alright then, Fergie is a big ned-nosed twat! How's about that then?
13 minutes to go
Thank you
Carrick has had to go off and get some stitches I think.
United are down to 10 men for a while
He is back
Ten minutes to pull this one out.
Stand up if you hate ManYoo!
Keep it up
Inside the last five minutes
Chances both ends.
I am very nervous.
Corner for Boro
Cleared
Three minutes of added time
Come on.. just like at Anfield
One more anti-Red song to put you over the top:
"He shoots, he scores.
He'll eat your Labradors
Park Ji-Sung - Park Ji Sung!"
Sing that one with the kiddies, eh?
Like it, but probably too late to help me today.
That's it!!!!
Replay at Old Trafford on March 19.
Great to talk to you today.
Wish we had some more company.
Off to listen to 606
Cheers,
Dave
Enjoy it mate. Nice chatting with you and you got through the whole match without being booted! Well done!
That is right. Not just the match but two full matches.
Adios
