Another Big Day
I hope this isn't a sign of the day.
Best of luck to West Ham, Leeds and of course my lot.
Hope for some company

Charlton vs Shef. Utd on the box.
Talksport on the computer.
I guess a draw is the best result here.
The North London end in a draw. Spurs take a half time lead but then have to score a last gasp equilizer.
My thoughts are also with Cambridge United. They have a must win game today. If they get relegated from the Conference they will go out of business.
Close call from The Blades.
Guy booked for trying a Maradona
The atmosphere sounds great at The Valley
Chris Gayle for the West Indies in one over.
1-1- 4-4-6-6
WI 62-0 after 8 overs
Plymouth 1 Southend 0
Good Score
Morning, Dave! You beat me on the post by a matter of seconds. You were always nippier around the box than I was, eh?
Good luck to all our teams today, especially the Mighty Whites at Southhampton.
Goal at Craven Cottage.
Fulham 1 Blackburn 0
Good Morning.
I am with your lot at St Marys
England are mainly playing for pride today against the Windies. They were knocked out Wednesday by the miserable defeat to South Africa.
Did you catch the display by the Aussies against the Kiwis yesterday - frightening!
Not good news for Cambridge. Tamworth are leading.
I did see the Aussies batting on Skysportsnews.
While I was over in England I caught a lot the cricket. It was great.
The weather we had over there was fantastic. Bright sunshine and not a drop of rain.
Goal for the HAMMERS!!!!
Zamora.
I wish they didn't have to still play United, unless United are already champs
Barnsley are beating Palace. Not a good score
Yeah, I'm hoping that by the time that the WC comes around again there might be some chance of catching it on the telly. It is quite a time investment though, eh?
Shef Wed have taken the lead against Coventry
We need a Stoke goal!
Talksport are saying tha Stoke is dominating but the best chance came to Hul. Still goalless
I suppose that a draw is the best result for the Happy Hammers here. They're on 32 points now. It's still possible.
Who do Leeds have left after today?
QPR have scored against Cardiff
A beautiful in England today but some foreign plonker playing for Coventry is wearing gloves!!!!
Southend have tied it up
More good news for WH. AJ has gone off injured for Everton. Let's hope he can't play next week against United
QPR are for intents and purposes out of it. And Southend are pretty much down. It's all about Hull now. They must lose today!
Liverpool have scored at Anfield
We have two games left - at home to Ipswich next weekend and away to Derby on the last day of the season.
Barnsley are in it too if they lose today
Answer my question, who do Leeds have left to play?
They have to get it done next week then
I just did, you big wally! Barnsley are up and just about out of it. It's either us or Hull - perhaps Leicester. Luton will be relegated today; Southend probably next weekend. It'll come down to us or Hull probably.
Luton have already been relegated after losing to Derby last night.
Again, if Barnley get pegged back they are still in it.
Alan Thompson has been sent off for Leeds. He tried to strangle someone from behind.
Not good news.
I reckon that three or four points from the last three matches will probably be enough.
Wot, you get a red card for trying tot strangle people these days?! In my day.....
I guess a draw is all they can hope for today after being down to ten men with over half the game to go
The Blades are the better team on the telly
Yeah, a point today, and a win next weekend. They'll probably lose to Derby then.
Hull have Cardiff away next weekend (that's a loss) and Plymouth at home on the last day of the season. They could lose all three fixtures - let's hope!
So three and four are pretty much sorted out in the Prem. What about one and two - what are the fixtures left for you lot and Chelski?
Four yellow cards after the red and no chances
Thrilling football on the southcoast
Yeah, it looks like we're basically hanging on like grim death. We could have used that Ivanhoe spirit back around Christmas.
We have Boro(H) today, followed by three away games
Everton, Citeh and Chelski and end up at OT with West Ham.
Chelski have Newcastle(A) tomorrow, Bolton(H), Arsenal(A), United(H) and they end up with Everton at the Bridge.
I am worried.
Blow up ref!
It's very tight for both teams. I could see both dropping points. I'd love to see a grandstand finish.
Colchester have scored against Keano's lot
Third minute of stoppage time
Stoke 1 Hull 0
Windies now at 107/0 after 17 overs. England could easily lose this one too and go sixth in the table. Dismal!
Yessssssss! Go on you Potters!
If it stays this way, Leeds are out of the zone. Of course, last week I was watching Sky's Soccer Saturday and everything was going great and then went all wrong
Just heard on TS that everytime Sotton's two black players get the ball there are boos from Leeds fans.
When are people going to grow up
I am really hoping that everything stays the same everywhere.
It would mean that if Leeds win next week they would be safe for the trip to Pride Park
122 for none.
Bloody useless
Unfortunately there's always been that element in the Elland Road faithful - shameful stuff. It's never been easy supporting the Whites.
Watford 0 Citeh 1
Right, time to run the clock down lads. Come on you Whites!
Surely Preston can get a goal against Leicester now.
Sunderland have tied it up through Yorkie
They're surely going up now.
But can Sunderland stay up this time? Don't think so...
Thirty five minutes left. There have been ten shots against and only one shot for us. It's all hands to the pump time, lads!
Good news for West Ham
Fulham 1 Blackburn 1
Goal for Charlton.
What a jammy jammy goal there. How many deflections did that take?
Not great for the Hammers. A draw would be best.
If it stays this way, next week's game for West Ham against Wigan is going to be HUGE
Thirty minutes left - 11 shots against, 1 shot for. Hang on you Whites!
I am impressed with getting ONE shot for
Bolton 1 Reading 0
Liverpool 2 Wigan 0
Bansley have scored again. They are pretty much safe
On the replay, our old boy Matthew Kilgallon didn't look so clever there. Why did he let it run through his legs? What a plonker?
If it stays this way, all West Ham will have to do is win six-nil next week. They are down by ten goals so a six goal spurt will take them out.
It will happen, right John(wherever you are)
What a goal by Stead.
A bullet
England have a wicket! It's 144/1 after 26 over. Windies could easily put up 300 - no way England can best that total. That will mean that they've only beaten Bangla and Ireland - pathetic. They should have a complete clear out this summer.
Good goal for the Hammers.
Watford have tied it up
Way to go England!!!!
Healey has been taken off and replaced by a defender.
Backs to the wall time
Twenty minutes left - still 0-0.
17 shots against - 4 for!
Hang on you Whites!
Another foriegn plonker
1630: Charlton's Soulemayne Diawara is wearing gloves!
And now Diawara's had enough. He must be a bit chilly. He'll need a cuppa to warm himself up after that exertion.
Cambridge United have scored.
That goal could save the club's existence!!!
Fifteen minutes left - nailbiting time. This could be the whole season in a nutshell.
My fingers are crossed. I am sure you can tell with my typing
Sunderland have fallen behind again
OH NO!!!
Sotton have scored after 83 minutes
Reading have equalized
Argghhhhhhhhh!
Back in the drop zone.
We've already used two subs - time for Tresor Kandol maybe?
Colchester have a pen to go two clear.
They are one point off the play-offs
SIX minutes of added time at Upton Park
Yes, Tresor's on for Eddie Lewis.
Come on you Whites! Time for a miracle!
Liverpool get a ho-hum victory against Wigan.
Wigan are in deep trouble
Colchester scored the pen
Uh oh again
Leicester have scored at Preston
Reading have scored a late winner at Bolton
You think Wigan could still go down? I dunno, I still think it's Watford and two from three - Hammers, Charlton and the Blades.
With that Leicester goal it is a two horse race between you and Hull.
Next week is SOOO big
Watford draw and are relegated
Yeah, I'm afraid so - it looks like forty-eight points or so will be enough to stay up - but who will get it?
They are only three points ahead of the Hammers if they hold home
UH OH again
Hull have scored a late goal.
Not good at all
Reading score a third.
Fulham have drawn with Blackburn
Not good at all. Not good. Come on you Whites! Into stoppage time - it's a wing and a prayer time.
Everything has changed for the worse in the last ten minutes.
West Ham have won
Game over at St. Mary's
Sorry mate.
If Hull get the draw then it definitely goes into the last week of the season
Yeah, but it just means that it'll probably go down to the last match. I still think we can get three points from two games and I don't fancy Hull to get anything from either match. It's still very possible.
Good day for the Hammers and not so good for the Whites.
Now, let me have a good day please!!!!
ManYoo up next - crucial match. I'll make a bold prediction. If you win today, you win the Premiership. Boro are your bogey team. I don't see you dropping four points beyond today.
I hope so but if we get by today there is still a lot of problems ahead.
Come on Newcastle and Arsenal
England have a second wicket
Giggs is on the bench today!!!
Richardson is on. Uh oh
VDS
O'Shea
Rio
Brown
Heinze
Ron
Scholes
Carrick
Richardson
Smiffy
Roon
Boro
Schwarzer
Davies
Woody
Pgatetz
Taylor
Cattermole
Rochemback
Boateng
Downing
Yaukubu
Viduka
Lara run out for 18 in his final international innnings
Horrible pass from Scholes right away. Let's hope that is not a sign of what follows
Ronaldo looks on form today
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Richardson!!!!!
Rooney rounded the keeper but Richardson pipped in for the goal.
MORE PLEASE!!!!!!!!
Crikey, I've gone off for fifteen minutes to have a shower and you've already scored! Good start!
After three minutes
Come on United.
They are giving up some chances.
STOP IT
Great stretch and cross by smiffy
Smudger for England!
Him and Roon aren't doing too bad for United why not for England
I am not happy with what I am seeing right now
Boro have done twice as much attacking in the first twenty minutes than they did in the entire match against Liverpool on Wed.
What was that from Skippy!? What a wanker!
The color guy comments that Sir Alex wouldn't want that fancy dan stuff near the United box - as if Skippy ever finds himself near his own box!!
Stop Phaffing ABOUT!!!!!
Rio is thinking he is Ronaldo
England 258 for 5 in the 43rd over
That was a dive - should've been booked there. He won't stop cheating unless the referee's take action. Boateng didn't touch Skippy.
IT WAS NOT A DIVE!!!!!
He was tripped. It wasn't a booking but it was a foul.
You have your anti-United glasses on.
The ref's not letting anything go here - nothing wrong with that Roon challenge. I didn't think Yakubu fouled VDS either. It's a man's game, ref. Let it flow!
Not at all. I'm just anti-Skippy. When he gets flogged to Spain this summer, I'll feel much better about United. I'm just astonished about how easily the United faithful have forgotten his playacting vs. Roon in the WC. He's the worst cheat in the game.
Boro need to shut up
They need to stop fouling him.
That was another dive!!!!! Boateng had a little nibble, Skippy rode that challenge and then went down because he'd lost the ball. Total dive!!!!!!
There are lots of cheats around.
Stevie G is no angel for one
Scholes just tackled in the box.
My heart was in my mouth
I wasn't pleased with Richardson being picked but he has played well today
Come on! You must admit that if he were playing for Milan against you lot in the Champions League, you'd be screaming bloody murder about the gamesmanship and wanting the ref to card him every five seconds.
This ref has lost control of this match because of his constant meddling. The frustration on the part of the players is palpable.
WOW, Scholes really hacked him down there.
HE WASN'T TOUCHED!!
Why aren't you commenting?
Rio has hurt his groin again
Rio doing a bit of the Michael Jackson's. It's his groin - he's off.
BLOODY HELL!!!!
Goal for Boro
BUGGER!!!
Oh dear, it's Mark Viduka! We could have done with a header like that from the big man today.
See, no comment from you about the Scholes "foul"
Giggs and Fletcher are on.
Fletch is going to full back and move Heinze in the middle.
Giggs is on for Richardson. He was playing well
Oshea in the middle instead of Gabbby
Scholes needs to stop the dribbling on the top of his box
phew, thanks VDS
21 goals from Ronaldo this season, but how many were from dodgy pens, eh/
shut it
Will not, you Prawn sandwich eating numpty!
United's midfiled is giving the ball away far too much
They'll still pull out the win today, mark my words.
Windies all out for 300 - no way will England get that total.
United are being too much of an Arsenal today.
They are trying far too many passes.
Very disappointing
Boro are still ticking me off.
Why don't they play like this every week
Ole is about to come on. For who?
Smiffy hasn't had a good game
I was right.
They can't afford to take of any defensive players.
They are in dangering of losing let alone drawing
Leave our Smudger alone - he's a champion lad, he is!
OOOH, that could've gone in!
You are my Solskjaer
My Ole Solskjaer
You make me happy
When skys are grey
You're never boring
You just keep scoring
Please don't my Solksjaer away
Please have it be prophetic
I think that should count - good goal. If he nicks it out of the air with no contact, it should be good.
Ole picks up a yellow - ridiculous!
Fifteen minutes to pull this one out, Davey? Predictions?
I agree. I knew it wasn't going to count
Why wasn't anyone running in at the back post
How many cards has this eedjit handed out today?
United are playing with fire here. Yakubu nearly played Viduka in there. You can't give either of them room - they are deadly.
How did Roon miss
Oh, how did Roon miss that one? Bad miss.
If we want to win the Championship, we need to score in the next ten minutes!!!!
I am shaking here
Come on Rooney!!! Get you shooting boots on
It's not over if you get a point today. Not over by a long chalk.
England have lost an early wicket again! Strauss has gone - 11/1 after 3 overs. Bopara is in at #3 today. Could be a good change.
O'Shea just isn't good enough for you lot. You need at least one striker in the summer and probably a couple of defenders.
Absolutely pathetic passing today from United.
It is over if we don't win
Oh, Carrick could've won it there for you. Shame he couldn't keep it down.
Carrick needs to put that on target
Four minutes to get a win
Was that a pen?
Was that a pen?
Four minutes of stoppage time for you lot to score.
Never a penalty there.
Was it?
My first instinct is that he got contact. I still think he did dribble it away. He did catch the player with his follow through. Well, they're certainly given. You dodged a bullet against the Blades for sure in midweek and maybe again there.
Fantastic stuff, here! Great match.
That's it!!!
Championship over
Chelsea will come within a point tomorrow.
I am soooo bummed.
Great talk with you today but horrible results for both of us
I HATE BORO!!!!!!!!!
One corner left....and that's it! Well, it certainly tightens the race but there's plenty still to play for.
Good luck to you!
Nice chatting today. This new blogger system seems to be working well. I'm working on getting the text to scroll, but at least you weren't bumped off. Cheers, mate!
Take care
Sorry I missed blogging today. . . running around coaching soccer . . . but what I do is I start with the first comment and read them all the way through . . . it beats the hell out of reading the recap on the BBC or wherever . . . Davey-boy . . . we want a thread on your trip home . . .
I agree, Sir Trev. Would like to hear about Davey's trip back to Blighty.
So Newcastle vs. Chelski entering the last ten minutes now at 0-0. Feeling better now, Dave?
