Paul Merson goes crazy as Brum almost score and then Villa go down to take the lead!!!
Agbonlahor saves the ball of the line and then goes down the other end and scores!!!
Morning, Dave! Here's your side for this morning:
1. Edwin Van der Sar
6. Wes Brown
5. Rio Ferdinand
15. Nemanja Vidic
3. Patrice Evra
7. Cristiano Ronaldo
8. Oliveira Anderson
4. Owen Hargreaves
11. Ryan Giggs
32. Carlos Tevez
9. Louis Saha
Chelsea and Everton are still goalless nearing half time
Loving it! Soccer Sunday!
I heard that on Sky, what I expected except for Anderson
I think Anderson's been the business for you lot this year. People expected that he'd only be a stand-in for Ronaldo, but he's actually played the holding role with more creativity than Carrick has ever had.
I know that he has been playing well. I was expecting Nani because of Roon's absence.
Bad news about Benayoun, yuh?
You've got to be loving that 0-0 between Chelsea and Everton. Good old Timmy Howard, keeping the Toffees in it.
Villa beat City
Well, that's it for Sky
Now for United, let's score another FOUR
More trouble in Italy
A fan shot before the Inter game. Match postponed. Now the AC match has been abandoned.
If it were England, they would kick them out of Europe!!!
I reckon you could have won some of that prize money on "Indoor League," Dave. I seem to remember your being a dab hand with a dart and a cue. How's your skittles?
Italy has to be chucked out of Europe for a stretch until they clean up their act.
I think I could have been very successful. I feel that I would have excelled in ha'penny push
I can't even figure out what the goal of the ha'penny push is.
What the hell's with the anthem for the team's going out? You'd think it was the Roman Colosseum.
I think that you need to have the ha'penny land in each section.
Looks like the TV will be behind the computer
Santa Cruz and McCarthy - you scared?
Yellow ball has made it's debut.
Was it there on Saturday? I didn't notice.
Bloody hell, some confusion in the back
I am nervous about this match
Row Z from Tevez.
Don't they pull it out once the clock's go back?
Are you following the other scores?
If so, are you going to keep away from the Pompey Citeh game?
The 'Orrible Orange is in the England squad? We are in trouble.
Yeah, I'm not following the other scores so I can enjoy Pompey-Citeh match. Should be a good 'un.
I will keep you up to date with the others except from Fratton Park
Blackburn looking very positive here. That should make for a good match.
Good shot from Tevez. I thought he should have passed it to Giggs
How many has Carlito scored for you this season?
I would say four
United piling on the pressure here.
Long may it continue
This seems to be the feed from Sky "Super Sunday" with Martin Tyler but where's Andy Gray?
Rovers could have done better there
I don't think they are together this season. At least not all the time.
Spurs 1 Wigan 0... Jenas after 13
Are FSC playing the Arsenal vs. Reading match tomorrow?
nope,
also they don't have the England's stupid friendly on Friday.
Don't stick your tongue out at me, you cheeky monkey!
The valve goes in and the pushes air out?? Bloody Hell
come again.... stick the tongue out?
Oh, off the bar!
GORDON BENNETT.
OFF THE WOODWORK
Free kick chance for United. Make Brad work!!
Here comes another valve pushing effort.
OFF THE LINE
Off the line!
Come on United. They have a long way to go to get their compulsory four goals
Another fancy flick from McCarthy. They've been working on those, clearly.
I think you'd take one in off Vidic's bum today.
I would love to see Everton win at Stamford Bridge. Luv it!!!
Speaking of Kevin Keegan, the classic Liverpool Newcastle game is on Prem Classics this week. A half hour show with no commercials.
Spurs have scored a second
Saha hasn't done much
I can barely hear the commentators over the incessant chanting in the background. Crikey, pipe down you lot!
Luv it!
We're missing Roon
Dunn's going into the book here. I thought 50/50ish.
You're missing Ruud!
BUGGER
Chelski have scored.
Drogba with the goal
Blackburn putting the boot in a bit here.
I was thinking the same. Nothing called because United kept keeping possession.
YESS!!!!
LOVE YOU RONNY!!!
GOAL! Ronaldo from the corner. 1-0.
Great header
Great header. Loads of power.
And another! Blackburn ripped apart!
YES!!!!!
LOVE YOU RONNY
Great ball in from Tevez.
Spurs have scored #3
Jenas with the first two and Lennon with the third
Hate. him.
Ronaldo that is. Not Aaron Lennon. Like him quite a bit.
SHUT IT
Hargreaves passed it forward! I'm in shock!
SHUT IT
Cup Update
Forest Green have taken the lead against Rotherham
Hartlepool are five up against Gainsborough
Make that SIX
Yeovil are winning at Torquay
Please don't give a goal away before half
Sshhh, I was going to stay up and watch that one at 11....not!
It's good to see Blackburn trying to play it on the floor instead of just lumping it.
I still think Rovers have a chance. United need the next goal
What the hell was Owen doing there???
Last news from Fratton Park
1547: TEAM NEWS Kanu replaces the suspended Papa Bouba Diop in Portsmouth's only change from last week's 4-1 win at Newcastle. England defender Micah Richards returns for Manchester City after his knee injury, while Gelson Fernandes makes his first league start in midfield and Darius Vassell replaces Emile Mpenza up front.
Half time.
Very satisfying half. Two more please
Half-time. United seem to be in control of this one.
Forest Green have scored a second
Dreadful half at the Reebok.
No shots on goal and minimal shots at goal.
YES!!!
Chelsea 1 Everton 1
Last minute overhead kick by Cahill!!!!
Spurs strolling at the Lane.
Three nil at half
That Liverpool Newcastle classic is on Wed. at 8 pm
What a horrible challenge by Joey Barton
Game at the Bridge is over.
A draw. Happy about that!!!
Torquay score two late first half goals to take the lead. Are you going to stay up and watch it now?
Citeh and Pompey really have a chance to make a push after that Chelsea draw.
No.
Ambitious effort there from Giggsy.
Come on United get some early goals. We need to get our goals far away from The Arse.
Great try by Giggs.
I won't keep you posted
Blackburn are still going forward. They aren't the put the boot in team anymore. Maybe because Savage isn't in the team
That's amazing - "Betnley."
United are under the cosh a little
Dunn's already been booked and...he's off!
Dunn off for a second bookable offense.
A bit harsh really. The second one was certainly a yellow but the first one was a bit of nothing. Sparky's doing his nut on the touchline.
I agree. Of course, he knows he is already on a yellow.
I hope this doesn't galvanize Rovers.
So what do you do with ten men when you're 2-0 down at Old Trafford?
Come on United, get your finger out
Attack
Are you sure that Vidic can't find an English granny? He and Rio would make a fearsome pair for the Three Lions.
I know, I am have been very impressed with Vidic
nice English there in my last comment
Best part of the Dunn ejection was that you could clearly make out that Sparky calls Dunn a "Twat!" as he is escorted down the tunnel.
He knew he was on a yellow, and away to United where the crowd is going to influence refs as green and English in quality as this guy. He is a twat!
Rotherham have a goal back to Forest Green
Don't wag your finger at me, cheeky monkey!
Morning, Gooner!
Good Morning Steve, I didn't even notice it was you
What a thunderbolt by Ron. That was close.
Slightly better at the Reebok although neither keeper has made a save yet
75,510 inside the Theatre of Dreams
Jenas has a hat-trick goal disallowed for offside at the Lane
Morning. Up late with the boy last night watching Disturbia, but managed to see Ronaldo beating Blackburn all by himself. Great header, but I don't know what all the fuss is about Samba if he can't win that challenge from a corner. And the second one was just taking advantage of really naive play.
Who doesn't know that when you go a goal down to United, away, from a set piece when you're playing well, that you should just take a minute or two to settle and regain your rhythm? Sparky, that's who. I guess that sort of nous will put him in the running for the England job after the Croatia game. Dooomed, Dooooooomed, England is!
Do you guys use Skype?
I just had a video call with my sister Debs for over two hours!! Cost? Absolutely nothing!!!
Yossi's injury is a blow but Israel are going to do us a favor!!!
It's got to be Martin O'Neill for the England job after Macca, but we're not done and dusted in the Euros quite yet. I'm still quietly confident that Israel can nick a draw off Russia and we can do the biz against Croatia.
Saha off Nani on
Haven't ever been able to sort it out.
I've got iChat, but damned if I've been able to set it up because my AIM messenger just won't configure. I've been to the Apple store twice and they send me back home thinking that it'll work this time and it doesn't. I hate technology!!!
Nani down like a sack of potatoes
Get up!!
I'm on the VIP Communications - 4 cents a minute to the UK. That'll do me.
I have ichat but download Skype for free. It is great.
http://www.skype.com/helloagain.html
Sir Alex has seen enough. He's off to get into the Pick and Mix.
Without Rooney? You're dreaming. And I don't see the rest of the team doing anything but making sure that their room at Aiya Napa has HDTV coverage of the Euros. They're looking forward to a summer's rest. Mark my words, Croatia will beat us, and Russia will overwhelm the less-than-convincing-already-out Israelis. Face it, the FA screwed us when they settled for McLaren and the players never knuckled down to win a winnable group. Very, very, sad nonetheless.
Spurs scores #4
Darren Bent scores after coming off the bench
I know, I know, but it's the headset connection that I can't sort out. And if I can't sort it out, how are my parents - the only ones I call over there - going to. I just spent a week in London showing my Mom how to set up her printer!
Good run by Evra
I'll say it again. Rooney doesn't score that many for England. One since Euro 2004. Crouch has scored 12 in 15 games for England. And Owen - need I say more?
Alex McCliesh in the stands.
What Scot is on the field?
Dunno, maybe he thinks that Vidic has a Scottish granny?
I guess he is watching Fletcher on the bench
Nelson into the book now.
Great run from Giggs. Valve pushing chance for Ron.
Hat-trick?
It's not his goals that make England tick, you're right. But name a crunch performance that we've won without him somewhere as an option.
Terry is always lauded as the Bulldog in the dressing room that gets everyone's blood up for it, but they play like scared nuns without Rooney somewhere as an option.
Contrast that with the Croats who as ten-year-olds, lived through a civil war and still managed a career in sport. And the Russians who if they miss a tournament get served Polonium in their tea?
I have hope, but no optimism.
Hargreaves off, hope he isn't hurt
Am I right that if Israel win, we need only a draw. It is head to head if tied and England won 3-0 and Russia only 2-1
Derbyshire on. He is a good player
So what sort of headset do you use, Dave? And where did you get it? I went into CompUSA and Circuit City and they had no idea what I was talking about with Skype.
Come on United!! Only twelve minutes to get our trusted four
For sure you can get one at BestBuy Gator. Just ask for a Skype headset and they'll hook you up.
I don't use any headset. Everything is through the computer. I just talk to and watch the computer
No, we have to match what Russia do in two games with our one game against Croatia. It's true that Russia might lose to Israel and draw against - is it Estonia? - but I wouldn't count on it. The best we can do is beat Croatia and that's that.
Why do you need a headset?
How do you hear what the other person is saying? I've never been able to get it through the speakers.
And how do they hear what you're saying?
Russia are two points behind. If they lose, then they will still be two points behind. England draw then there is three point gap and Russia's win would tie it up.
Toryquay are 3-1 up
At work. I have an outside sales guy that has a sick mum in HongKong. He goes there and stays for 6 weeks at a time and communicates by Skype. I don't use it for chats with my parents because my dad's stone deaf and I don't think he'd be able to cope with the sound quality-that tinny-bottom-of-a-well-thing that you get 3-out-of-5 calls.
Through my computer. My sister just has a microphone. I had one on my old computer. It just stands next to my computer. You can buy those anywhere.
We could talk.
Yesterday, my computer rang and I answered it and there my sister was.
KEEPER HAD TO MAKE A SAVE AT THE REEBOK
I've tried that. It doesn't work. I tried it with a Brazilian friend but just got frustrated with the whole nonsense. It was a hassle to download and the closest I got to it was hearing him but he couldn't hear me. The old fashioned phone is just fine.
Your computer rang? Alright, what kind of bloody space age computer have you got? You keep saying that it's a Mac but I don't believe you.
You're nuts. I took nothing.
Give it another go.
Well, am I right about England?(see previous comment)
I have a iMac. It rang like a phone
Bloody hell, that was close
Forest Green have been pegged back. 2-2 with Rotherham
You never.
I think the sending off has hurt United
You are right about England. I thought we were level. Sounds good to me. You're nuts about Skype though. It's the math teacher talking. I just feel good that I'm able to download me podcasts.
Half time at Fratton Park
Score............. no comment
Steady on, Ron.
Go to the website, download and use.
Right, this one's over. I'm off to call my folks on the good old fashioned telephone. I'll be back for the Pompey-Citeh.
Game over at the Reebok.
Goalless
Game over, pleased with the win but I feel we needed to score more. I think the Arse will score more than two.
Balls in your court Stevo
Spurs win four nil
Cristiano Ronaldo has now scored 26 goals in 51 matches for club and country this calendar year - not a bad strike rate.
WOW,
ISRAEL vs RUSSIA is on LIVE next Saturday at Noon.
I'm back. Shut those bloody cow bells up!
What's Lumper Adams doing on the bench next to Harry Redknapp?

I'll say it again. Shut those bloody cow bells up!
Bit of a bore, this match.
Big Tone is assistant coach at Pompey.
Man of the Match, Davey Nocito for reminding me about Skype. My parents are really chuffed.
Thanks Steve, it was great to talk to you and SEE you.
Come on Bob and John, get with the program!!!
