First Up
The Arse vs The Brums
Come on you blues!! Okay, I will wake up!!!
United take on the managerless Toon. I hope it doesn't make the men in stripes play up.
No game for Leeds today. They take on Crewe on Monday.
Becks and kid at the Emirates.
Brooklyn or Romeo?
According to the Beeb, that was Brooklyn.
Morning, Dave. Happy Tiswas Day to you. I'm just back from an early morning run to the post office and settling in to enjoy the Arse vs. Brum.
Just exactly why is Becks in London? LA training facilities not good enough?
It'll be interesting to see how Eduardo, who's bang in form, and Walcott fit into the first eleven today.
Eduardo with his first chance, a very un-Arsenal looking move with an early ball whipped in and he probably say that late and just couldn't make the connection he'd wanted.
All Arsenal to start. I guess Birmingham don't want to try as hard as they did at Old Trafford!!
I wonder if the other two Nocito boys are reading this blog. Last weekend, Mike and Tony were watching the FA Cup on the BBC and following LOB on Mike's iphone. Hi guys if you are out there.
Probably the most interesting game today is Citeh vs. Everton, fourth vs. sixth, both of whom have a shout in that last Champions League spot. I'd luv it, luv it, if Citeh claimed it. They're playing really good football these days. I wonder if Nery Castillo will get into the side today.
Hiya to Mike and Tony! Should I send an invitation out to them so that they can participate? I luv it!
Sorry, I've got King Kev on the brain this morning. I'd luv it if he came back to St. James'.
Of course, we'd have to rename the blog Lakenheath Older Boys, right?
What were they're dates of graduation from LHS - 78? 76? Crikey!
iPhone, eh? Well that's very nice. And how'd you get that, then? By exploiting the workers, by hanging to on to outdated imperialist dogma....
Fulham have taken the lead at Upton Park!! I guess West Ham are going trying as hard they did against United.
Should I just keep this theme going?
Mike graduated in '77 and Tony was WAY BACK in '71
Go on, then. That's the other big game of the day with Fulham really needing something. That goal pulls them out of the relegation zone.
Cor dear! 71. Make that Lakenheath Oldest Boy! Hiya Tony!
Brum nearly threw away a goal there but Adebayor made a mess of that. He should have hit it early.
With Leeds not playing today, the rivals around us are taking advantage. We're down to sixth.
Jerome with Brum's first chance but Almunia does well to tip that aside and behind. Can we sign him up for England?
Swansea have extended their lead at the top with an away goal at poor old Luton. Come on, the Hatters!
Free header there for Eduardo and he should have scored. Put it straight at Taylor.
And it had to come, didn't it. Penalty to Eduardo, who was pulled down in the area. I'd like to see that again, but my immediate reaction was that it was a penalty.
Adebayor to take and he just snuck it in the corner under Taylor.
Arsenal 1-0.
And Juliano Belletti has driven in a thirty yarder to help Chelski take the lead against Spurs. 1-0 to the Blues.
Carew has put Villa into a valuable lead against Reading.
I am back from my first trip to basketball. I had to leave right at the penalty. What did you think?
West Ham tied it up.
Chelski are winning, Everton have taken the lead against Citeh AND Boro are beating Costa. Lovely jubbly
Just saw the replay. I am not sure about the pen.
Forest have taken the lead at home to Orient
I guess the guys at FSC and the color man at the Emirates agree with me.
Let's hope Birmingham take on Arsenal in the second half like they did at Old Trafford
I seem to be alone now. The second half has started.
Are you there Mike and Tony?
AND BIRMINGHAM HAVE SCORED!!!
From a corner!! What a shocker!!!
What a job Neil Warnock is doing at Selhurst Park!!
They are winning again. They are two up at Wolves
Just finished chatting with the Gooner. He's not very happy with the marking on that goal. They're really missing Toure there.
I expect Arsenal to absolutely throw everything forward now.
Forest have scored a second. This will keep Leeds ahead of Orient in fifth place
Yes, we'd still be in third with a win against Crewe on Monday.
Here comes the Arsenal storm
From the Bridge.
1612: The Chelsea fans are on their feet to greet Nicolas Anelka as he begins his warm-up.
Will he be a Chelsea hit?
I agree with this.
1613: "Too early Birmingham! Have fun being parked on the edge of your own penalty area for the next 40 minutes..."
nunChucker on 606
I'm not sure that Anelka will fit in to the system at Chelski. They're still trying to buy trophies. Don't they have any youth system at all?
Villa have scored a second against Reading.
Our Weekly Red Card has occurred. Pride Park this time. Derby down to ten men
Villa have extended their lead over Reading. What do you think is going wrong for Stevie Coppell?
Anelka is coming on
I just don't think Reading's players are that good.
Come on you SPURS
They were good enough last season? Second season in the Prem syndrome?
Nic Anelka has come on at the Bridge and has alraedy had one half chance saved.
I think that is the case with Reading.
I am please Appy Arry is staying at Fratton.
Some dodgy defending there by Arse.
Bendtner is thrown into the action for Theo. It hasn't been his best game, admittedly. Fabregas has also been out of sorts. Good change.
Bendtner on for The Arse.
He scored with his first touch against Spurs
What was your feeling about the Allardyce sacking, Dave?
Why didn't Eduardo shoot?
Swansea are two up at Luton.
Are the top two starting to pull away.
Could it be that Leeds will have to go through the playoff route?
The Hammers have taken the lead through the OTHER Ferdinand
I don't think Big Sam was given a lot of time but I don't think he is that good anyway
All we have to do is keep up the pace that we started the season with and we'll win the title. We'd be on 55 points and eight points clear of the Swans without the points deduction.
Who do you think will take over for the Magpies? Shearer?
Costa Del Pool have equalized. There's a shocker.... it is a Spaniard who scores. TORRES AGAIN
1630: GOAL Middlesbrough 1-1 Liverpool
Give that man the freedom of the city. Fernando Torres picks up the ball 40 yards out, advances a few yards and powers a rasping shot past Boro keeper Mark Schwarzer.
Scores from Coke Norwich have come from behind to take the lead at Barnsley.
Sheff. Utd have come from behind to take the lead against London's newest BILLIONAIRES!!!
What would Liverpool be without Torres these days? He is quality.
Forest are three up
I have no idea about Newcastle.
I have heard Van Gaal.
How about bringing back Kevin Keegan withe Shearer in as coach?
Motherwell's first game since the death of their captain. They fell behind two nil but have tied it up in the Scottish Cup
Norwich have scored again. Dion Dublin. I can't believe he is still playing
Full-time: Arsenal 1 Brum 1
You'd have to call that two dropped points. I'm surprised that Bendtner couldn't make the difference at the end.
I am a happy chappy. Let's hope I am even more happy in a couple of hours!!!
Half time at OT.
United should have had a penalty but Michael Owen was not offside!!!
Good to talk to you Bob
What's going on with the TV Angle??
Twice off the line in the first minute
Interesting angle to watch it from
Good start to the second half
Free kick chance
YES!!!!!!!!!!
That was horrible defending. You can't let the wall break like that. Did Ronaldo predict that they'd do that or was he lucky? We'll never know.
20th goal for CR this season
It seemed like he meant to keep it down.
Mickey Quinn just had a good line.
He thought that Ron meant to do it but complained about the Newcastle wall. He said, "Why not just stand there and take one in the Niagaras"
Niagara Falls... Balls
You've got to be a happier chappy now. I can't see Newcastle coming back from that. Owen's been completely anemic.
Tevez - 2-0 Game over.
Awful defending. COMICAL
TEVEZ!!!!
What did you say about my 3-0 prediction?
It's looking good now...
United putting on the tricks now!!!
We're going top!!
Great shot and save and then Owen should have done better.
Talksport was just saying he is so overrated.
Come on United. Don't give away a silly goal
Old Trafford sounding good.
Sir Alex should be pleased
Rooney should have scored his SIXTH!!
Uh oh, here comes Viduka. He always hurt United.
Come on, get number three
uh oh, Evra hurt and being replaced
Homer Simpson coming on...
D'oh! I meant OJ...
Sir Bobby has turned Russian
WHAT A GOAL
RONALDO!!!
Tremendous goal. As they said, that wasn't the easiest ball to control but he made it look easy and then waited for Given to commit.
Time to rest Ryan
A comment from a member of the Toon Army
1844: "Pearson out! Sack the board."
My prediction may be wrong!!
Hull just scored to make it 2-1 with WBA and then WBA are down to 10 men
You can tell that a game's over when the commentary team starts deliberating the history of French furniture.
I had a feeling that this match would go like this. Newcastle are a shambles.
Great play again. Just as good as the Arse.
SIMPSON ALMOST PUT IN BY ROON
Rooney will not score!!!
What about Ince for Newcastle?
Great shot by Carrick. Saved off the line.
UNITED LOOKING FANTASTIC
Good run from Newcastle. Great tackle
Dahlgrenish
Absolutely stunning attacking football.
Simpson almost in again.
Wait a minute
RIO!!!!!
Great pass by Roon and a great finish by Rio
Not just me.
From the Beeb
1859: GOAL Man Utd 4-0 Newcastle
Dazzling from Manchester United
MAKE IT FIVE!!
Hat-trick for Ron
It was nil nil at half
Big Sam is probably happy not to be in charge
Bloody hell - it's five! This is embarrassing for the Toon.
That finish from Rio was exquisite.
How did Roon not get on the scoresheet today?
Come on Roon, get a goal.
Surely that was in! Six!
All ball over the line? I think so. Fair enough. Who would want the Newcastle job now?
MAKE IT SIX!!!
Tevez with another.
I will say it again.
BRILLIANT
I will say it again. It was nil nil at half time
Was it in?
Alan Smith has been sent off????
Is that a red card for Smithy? Yes, he's off. What a sorry day for Smithy. Gets the captain's armband, sees his side walloped and then talks his way into an early bath. Well, not that early as it turns out. Full-time whistle - 6-0. Blimey!
No time to kick off
What a second half display!!!
I hopeless at predictions!!!
I said three nil
Great to spend the morning with you Bob
Take care
What do you have to say to a referee in order to get a straight red card? Must have been XXX.
Good day chatting with you, Dave, but that's enough faffing about from me. I've got to get back to Chapter 3.
Cheers!
Oi! No dissing the iPhone . . . it was my only and favorite Christmas present . . . I love it . . . I read all of Saturdays comments on Sunday from the park with the kids . . .
Big win for the Hammers!
No worries, Trev. I'm an iFanatic, as you know. I just saw Dave's comment as an entre to trot out one of my favorite Python lines. KC will tell you that that's one of my worst habits. Whenever she'll ask what's on tv, I'll invariably say - in a squeaky British voice - "looks like a penguin."
I'm waiting for them to work out the kinks on the iPhone before jumping on board, but it's good to hear that you're loving it.
