Hi Fellas,
The breaking news is that "The Special One" is in talks with Inter Milan.
Talksport, however, just said that Jose has strongly denied it.
Morning, Dave! I'm not surprised that Jose may be going to Inter. It'll either be Inter, Milan or Real Madrid.
Rangers beat Celtic 1-0. Apparently, Celtic were all over them!!
Hey Bob, I thought he would prefer Spain over Italy. It is a better league
Good Luck today against The Seagulls.
Doncaster beat Forest last night.
Is that the best result for you? Automatic promotion is gone.
Good Morning everybody .
May we have a good days football .
Team news
The Arse have dropped Adebayor to the bench in favor of his headbutting pal.
The results last night were what they were. Doncaster? Forest? It's a toss up. Tranmere beating Swindon was not good, though. We've got some work to do. Yes, well, automatic promotion was gone long ago when they deducted fifteen points. We'll be doing something now to get promotion through the qualifiers.
I think you will be in the playoffs.
Of course, the big event of the day is the 154th Boat Race.
Nasty weather expected.
COME ON CAMBRIDGE!!
So have you chosen your MLS fantasy league side yet?
Whenever I think of Cambridge, I think of jumping into the Cam while we were meant to be punting.
Wow, I didn't realize that Roma are within FOUR points of Inter!!
Let's hope they concentrate on the League instead of the CL
I always have the vision of you grabbing on to something hanging from the bridge and it falling. You then began to cheer as if you scored a goal!!
The second memory is sitting across from Kevin Budka(?) and he. all of a sudden, lost his balance(sitting BTW) and his head went in the water. It was a classic!!
Yeah, Inter are really tanking it. The loss to Liverpool in the CL didn't help. That's why Mancini will be out and Jose in at the San Siro.
Yeah, I remember both of those. Classic memories.
Exclusive interview with Goldenballs, eh? Did you see the bit on 60 Minutes with Anderson Cooper - it was rubbish!
Missed it
You didn't miss much.
Right, here we go! Come on you Whites! Come on Fulham!
So where are your brothers today?
Bullard with an early free kick opportunity....
And it's high wide and 'orrible.
We all know that Derby are down. I would Fulham to survive because of the Yanks, Sunderland because of Keane, Reading because of Coppell, Wigan because of Bruce so...
Bolton and Birmingham for the drop?
Hartlepool are beating the leaders already
Yeah, Derby could drop today...in March. How embarrassing is that? I'd love to see Bolton and Brum drop.
I love that there are tons of fixtures today.
Fulham are certainly going for it.
Hull are on FIRE!! They are beating Watford. They could go up automatically. Weren't they one of the teams down with Leeds last season?
Hull is the biggest city not to have a top tier team in England ever!!
Penalty ref!
Yeah, they were battling us for the drop all season and just pipped us in the end. Apparently their stadium is state of the art.
Luton are mounting a valiant effort but I don't think they'll avoid the drop. Fourth division footie for them next season.
Oh Dear.
Derby have scored!!!
Oh, bugger! What a jammy goal for Fulham to concede.
What a finish!! Of the thigh!!
Didi Kamara is hopeless!
The classic game is going on in Scotland
Forfar vs East Fife
Classic score
Forfar Five East Fife Four
Another nice free kick opportunity for Bullard. This one has to go in...
too high.
Hull are two up
They are in the top two
Say that score quickly three times, eh?
Bloody hell
BOLTON have scored against Arsenal!!
Arsenal are dominating the early exchanges against Bolton at the Reebok.
Der.
How did that happen!
What is up with WBA, they are losing to Colchester at home
I really hope Pompey beat them in the Semi
THEY ARE TWO DOWN NOW
West Ham have scored against Sunderland
That's terrible news for Fulham. If those two scores hold up, it's curtains for Fulham.
That's better news for Fulham.
My mate Freddie Ljungberg with the goal for the Hammers.
Stoke have taken the lead at Wednesday
Good save, Kasey Keller.
GOAL! Kamara with a header. Game on!
Swansea have tied it up
I missed it. Matt was rewinding to see the first goal.
Just saw it.
Nice header
Paul Jewell's thinking "I could be having a bottle of champers with a blonde slapper right now rather than this. I'm off!"
Ah, flash bastard with your DVR.
Cambridge are losing at home to Kidderminster
Derby players still having a go at the referee over a penalty call.
Andy Todd will be lucky to stay on the park today.
Leyton Orient are beating Port Vale
Orient have taken the lead over lowly Port Vale and we're down to ninth now.
Sunderland have tied it up against the Hammers
What is happening at Elland Road?
Still goalless but are they on top?
Equaliser for Sunderland! Kenwyne Jones makes it 1-1 against West Ham at the Stadium Of Light.
Looks fairly even at the Elland, with a few shots for each side.
From the Reebok
1515: GOAL Bolton 1-0 Arsenal
El-Hadji Diouf finds Gretar Steinsson overlapping on the right and he delivers a wicked cross for Matthew Taylor to head home his first goal for Bolton. First attack for Bolton. Manuel Almunia's first touch is to pick it out of the net.
Bloody Hell again
Arsenal have a red card!!
1532: RED CARD Arsenal
In the wet conditions at the Reebok, Abou Diaby goes flying in on Gretar Steinsson. A poor tackle. Arsene Wenger stands and stares mournfully ahead.
Pompey have taken the lead against Wigan
Useless shot from 19 yards out.
Bloody hell - the Gooner will not be pleased. He's not keen on Diaby to begin with.
Defoe gets the goal for Pompey.
He can't stop scoring.
How he is wishing that he didn't play for Spurs in the 3rd Round of the Cup
I really hope Arsenal smack Liverpool for SIX in the Champions League!!
Lowly Coventry have taken the lead against high flying Plymouth
Jermaine Defoe has done well for Pompey.
West Brom have got one back
Did you hear on the radio about a guy wanting to buy Mansfield Town and rename them Hartchester United to be more marketable!!!
West Brom have tied it up
Northampton are losing... good for Leeds
Brum have taken the lead against Citeh!!
How did we lose twice that lot!!!!
Oh dear, more bad news for Fulham.
Yes, but I can't believe I'm taking notice of what Northhants are doing at Cheltenham. Dear oh dear.
Bristol City have taken the lead against The Cannaries
Gordon Bennett
Bolton are two up
I do not want Bolton to get the points.
This is really bringing some teams back in the relegation dogfight
Bolton are 2-0 up against Arsenal! Matt Taylor gets his second goal, his heavily-deflected shot beating Manuel Almunia.
Swansea have taken a lead
Half time at Pride Park. Fulham still have a chance to pull out a much-needed win here but they'll need some help from Citeh and for the Arse to pull their fingers out.
1552: If the scorelines stay the same, Derby's relegation will be confirmed today while Fulham will be six points from safety. Three points will cover Bolton in 18th and Reading in 13th.
Where is brother Tony???
Indeed!
Hi Bob and David
Sorry I left you . I was doing something .
Just getting ready to watch the Boat Race .
The weather is really bad . The bookies are taking bets on them
sinking . I still think it should
be on the BBC , not ITV .
Keep us informed.
Where is Mike today?
1602: "I don't care what you say... Arsenal have made a Bramble of Titus proportions at the Reebok."
jpalongo on 606
Southend have taken the lead against Walsall
Lovely jubbly.
Bullard lines up another freekick...and hits the bar!
Nice effort from Bullard.
Off the crossbar
Don't know where Mike is . I
think he might be playing snooker somewhere .
Wotcher, Tony!
What was Keller up to?
Oh dear, what was Kasey Keller playing at there.
Cambridge won the toss . But that
might be a bad thing .
More bad news - Brum 2-0 up.
Brum have scored again against Citeh
I REPEAT
HOW DID WE DROP SIX POINTS FROM THOSE TOSSERS!!!
Good save Keller.
Yeah, but they get up for the derbies, don't they?
Keep us informed.
Stroke by stroke!!
Why is winning the toss and choosing the best line a bad thing?
Penalty to Citeh and Brum down to ten men
Eddie Lewis almost beating his American colleague there. Off the bar.
That's bettah!
We usually just get six easy points from the Moss Side
Leeds now turning the screw against Brighton. Come on you Whites!
1616: RED CARD Birmingham
And penalty to Man City. A howler from Rob Styles. An absolute stonewall howler. Franck Quedrue hauls down Benjani in the area - but Styles shows the red card to Radhi Jaidi. His linesman eventually sets Styles straight and Franck Quedrue is sent off.
Citeh convert the pen
I'm sure they said the winners of the
toss have lost the last seven races .
Or it might be because of the weather
I really don't know . They just said
it on the telly .
Good old Rob Styles.
Fulham need to make a change soon. McBride needs some company up top. Chuck on Dempsey and EJ and let them draw some of Leecock and Todd's attention. They need a win!
Wigan have a penalty as well at Fratton Park
Good free kick opportunity for Fulham here. They need to score.
I swear we would make a good partnership managing a Premiership team.
Of course, I would order my team to tank it against United.
That was soo close!!
Nearly there.
James saves the penalty!! Why didn't he do that on Wednesday
Brilliant penalty save from David James at Fratton Park! Wigan's Ryan Taylor hit it low and hard but James flung himself across the goal to make the save. It's all happening!
Oh Dear
Cambridge are two down at home
The Arse have a goal back at the Reebok
Gallas with the goal
Walcott and Adebayor are on for the gooners
Arsenal are back in it at the Reebok. William Gallas is left unmarked at a corner and finishes with his right foot to make it 2-1. Will Bolton hold on against the 10 men?
Have you noticed that it's all the defenders who are scoring for the Arse?
Again, has Adebayor scored since he got his haircut?
The teams are just coming out with
their boats . The water looks cold !
Savage should have put that in.
He just back passes it back to Keller
I think he has...against Milan.
What a miss by Robbie Savage. Plenty of space either side of KK and he tamely backpasses.
It can't really LOOK cold, can it?
The Arse tie it up!!!
RVP with a pen
Good comeback by the Gooners. This is with TEN men
Wow! Great news from Fulham. This has been a really well-matched fixture, which isn't such good news for Hodgson.
News from Elland Road???
Reading are down to ten men
Listen David ! Don't take the piss .
I'll take you off my contacts list !
Keystone Kops defending from Fulham there. Oh dear.
Interesting that they called him offside when the ball never went to him
Sorry big bruv!
I'll bet it does look cold there. It's 80F here today, btw.
I want you more than that Anikan bloke
Forfar 1 East Five 1
Come on, we need more goals there!!
Shut it with the 80 degree talk
We had anther three inches of snow yesterday
Hull are three up!! Are they going up??
And so you should be . As I was saying it looks really cold in the
water . I wouldn't want to be in the
boat .
Yes, Fulham have scored!!
Another lucky deflection
Yes! Another jammy goal...but this time for Fulham. They've got a chance.
Still 0-0 at the Elland. We've had 12 shots to their 4. Almost Leeds time.
but.. Brum have scored a third AND
Derby score again
Fulham went to sleep there. 2-2.
Forfar are trying to score Five.
That is number two
West Brom are losing again
Paul Jewell's thinking, "Yes, this is better than half an hour in a Wimpey Bar bathroom with a blonde slapper from Wigan."
This is end to end
This is what Americans don't have.
Two stinky teams actually having something to play for.
EJ's back defending...and fouling. What's he doing back there?
Lil Sis Debs is having a little look at us today.
Hiya Debs.
The Nocitos are taking over this blog.
You're absolutely right. Think about how the Galaxy would've had to scrap for dear life at the end of last season in their matches against Real Salt Lake if they were facing the drop to AA.
Forfar 2 East Fife 2
They're trying!!
Get Debs on the blog! We need some female presence!
Cambridge are three down
Tresor Kandol has come on for us. Leeds time!
Stoke have been pegged back
Both the top two are being held.
Hull are going to go up
Must be a penalty there, ref! EJ bundled over in the box.
Super chance for Arsenal at Bolton. Theo Walcott with some good work on the wing, he pulls it back for van Persie who blasts wide.
Hi Debs .
I agree with Bob . Sort it out Dave .
I will announce it...
IT IS LEEDS TIME!!!
GET THE CROSS OVER!!!
He just runs it over the touchline
Send Debs an invitation, Dave.
They're trying harder
Forfar 2 East Five 3
1645: West Ham will finish the game with 10 men as goalscorer Freddie Ljungberg limps off - after Alan Curbishley has made his three changes
Vale have pegged back Orient. 1-1. And we're back up into eighth.
1648: Arsenal are piling on the pressure in the dying minutes at the Reebok Stadium. They don't look like a 10-man team...
Arsenal are peppering the Bolton goal with only four minutes to go at the Reebok. It's 2-2 there.
Cambridge lost 3-0
How about their rowers?
Forfar 2 East Fife 3
Not exactly the right result but they tried
DERBY ARE DOWN!!!
It's all over at Pride Park. 2-2. Not good enough for Fulham. They'll need a minimum of four points from Sunderland and Reading.
AND ARSENAL HAVE SCORED THE WINNER!!!!
1652: GOAL Bolton 2-3 Arsenal
Alex Hleb's shot takes two deflections before ending up in the back of the net. A miracle comeback.
What a comeback for The Gunners
WBA have tied it up late and Bristol City have taken the lead against Norwich
Incredible. Now we need a late one at Elland Road.
Do we get the United match coming up?
AND a United stroll in the park at OT
Yup
Sunderland have scored a late winner as well.
BOLTON ARE IN TROUBLE!!
Pompey get a late goal
Excellent.
Wins for Sunderland, Pompey, Brum and Sunderland if they can hold on.
The Arse have won!!
First win in the league since Feb. 9
Sunderland have beaten the Hammers
WBA scored a late late winner to win 4-3
Leeds have been held for the draw.
Where are they in the table?
Leeds finish at 0-0. We're in eighth. We were fortunate that bottom of the table Port Vale beat Orient 2-1 with a late one.
According to my table, they are in 8th and four points out of the playoff but with two games in hand.
Now it is United's turn.
COME OUT ALL GUNS A BLAZIN!!!!
United with a strong line up. No resting for Roma
Kuszczak
Brown
Rio
Vidic
Evra
Ron
Carrick
Scholes
Giggs
Tevez
Roon
I am happy
Rooney has a dirty bum even before the game starts
That was a chance for Villa
Come on United!!
Roon is playing wide right, why?
Great shot from Roon
I'm back from the shower. Five minutes gone and Ronaldo hasn't scored yet - are you disappointed?
United haven't looked that good so far
Do you know why Tony isn't able to comment anymore?
United look shaky
1724: "Aston Villa have not come here to defend so give them credit for that. They're playing an open 4-4-2 with pace on the wings. They're prepared to go at United, but of course they are running a risk."
BBC Radio 5 Live summariser Graham Taylor
Almost from Ron!!!
