Blockbuster Sunday!
Who the bleedin' hell are Histon, anyway? I'll be up at the crack of dawn with a strong cup of coffee at my side and my lucky Leeds shirt on to find out. It all starts at 7:15 EST.Oh, and that's followed by something called the Manchester derby and then Chelsea vs. Arsenal. You know - same old, same old.
So, what? I know you heathens won't be in church so join me for one of the most exciting mornings of the season so far.

Hi Bob . I'm sitting here watching
the game on ITV . It really is a
miserable day . Cold and wet .
Histon is more local to us than either Ipswich or Norwich . Best of luck .
I just got up. There is no link working for the game. I guess that is why Bob isn't around
I just checked the score.... oh dear
Histon have just scored after 38 mnutes.
Since the Leeds link didn't work, I have turned on the United link. I was a little worried because not many looked available. There was a Veetle link for Setanta US link but I chose the last one(Atdhe 6)and it the UK SKy
United's team
VDS
Rafael
Evra
Rio
Vidic
Carrick
Fletcher
Ronaldo
Park
Berbatov
Rooney
Still 1-0 to Histon after 52 minutes
Out come the the teams at Eastlands
And we're off.... COME ON YOU REDS!!!!!!!!!!
We're on a losing streak to these lot.. please have it end. A bit of a dodgy clearance by VDS
30 minutes to go in Histon
Where are Leeds going to get their goal? Beckford is out for a couple of weeks with a hammy
Great run in the box by Rafael. This kid is good
Nice move by United end up with Roon getting a shot that was surprisingly spilled by Hart but nothing comes from it. United on top
67% possession for United after 10 minutes
Same old United of '08-09. We can't seem to score
20 minutes to go in Histon
We really need to get a goal to make our possession count
Ronaldo puts a header just over the bar.
COME ON UNITED!!!
16 minutes for Leeds to get something... it is fast becoming LEEDS TIME!
Rafael gets a card for throwing the ball away. I think he tossed it in the air. Be careful young man
Ten minutes to go in Cambridge and 20 minutes gone in Manchester. WE NEED A GOAL BY BOTH UNITEDS!!!
Berba has a header saved by Hart at full stretch
Citeh have Robinho, SWP, Ireland, Benjani... they haven't done a thing
United are all over them!!
WE NEED A GOAL!
oooh, Evra shoots over!
Definitely Leeds time!
Morning, lads! I blew it. My clock never went off and I overslept.
And my boys are about to be dumped out of cup by non-leagers. Curses!
Sorry about the link not working
I told you which link to use earlier.
2 minutes to go
I did mean the Manc derby link
Citeh have done NOTHING!
Cheers, Dave. Just a couple of minutes left plus stoppage now.
I hate to think is going to be like last season. United dominate and Citeh win.... ooh Citeh have their first danger and have Richards wide open but doesn't get a touch... phew
This is the first piece of possession by Citeh. UNITED HAVE BLOWN IT AGAIN.
Robinho free kick chance... hit row Z
Low and wide
Another great move by United
Berba slips and hits it wide.
COME ON UNITED!! both of you
BOY another United chance. PUT ONE IN
It is all over at Histon
Sorry mate
That's it. Full time and we're out of the cup before the third round...again. I should have stayed in bed!
After two nil nillers in a row, we are almost half way to another one. Our play has deserved many goals
Citeh have only their second chance. Rob goes in on side but VDS gets it
Well done, Wayne.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!
WE NEEDED THAT!!
United struggle to get a shot but Carrick finally get a shot off and it is saved by Hart but Rooney knocks in the rebound
WELL DESERVED!
Now get more
Coming up on the half...
You don't have to fake being happy.
I truthfully wanted to Leeds to win
I know you don't feel the same for me.
I am okay with that.
Ronaldo has been our worst player
Vassell picks up a yellow for a niggly one on Evra.
Are watching the same link as me?
Two minutes of added time of a totally red dominated half
I'm not. I'm just depressed.
I think you are little ahead of me
The only link that was working was RebelTV and it's got Spanish commentary. This is a crap morning.
Hi Dave and Bob
Sorry about that Bob . I made the first comment today then I had a visit from Phil so I couldn't continue . He just left so I'm back .
Half-time. United scored at the proverbial "right time." They'll have the momentum going into the second half.
Try the link I said
The last one Atdhe 6
It's brill

The draw is about to start . I don't like it on ITV .
Hey Tony
Did you watch the Leeds match?
United are all over Citeh.
3rd Round Draw?
Keep us informed.
I wonder if Sky will cover it?
Portsmouth first one out of the hat .
I'm on the Veetle link now. Much better. I'm off to make some coffee. I feel discombobulated.
Sorry mate

So how do you get the free movies on-line?
They deserve it !
Teams coming back out at Eastlands.
Elano and some other geezer coming on.
"1-0 doesn't reflect United's supremacy." Do you agree with the commentator?
Wow, all of United's 8 away game this season have been against the top 8 teams that finished behind them last season. Tough road
This score right now would net me fifteen points.
Second half has started and already Citeh have had more possession.
I want United to get your predicted three... you can stick your Citeh two up your left nostril
Rio dallies and Citeh get a corner but VDS collect and United go straight down and get their own corner
Carrick goes wide
Carrick should have scored there.
This is much more annoying play by Citeh.
Come on United.... same as first half
Why should I stick Citeh up my nostril? I didn't say anything. I hate Citeh now with all their Emirati money. No love for them at all.
69% possession... you're supposed to be at home!!!
You predicted 3-2 didn't you? You cans stick those two goals up the nostril
THe way this season is going, I can see some dropped points here
Park almost in... just sent wide a little
It's right about time for a Richard Dunne o.g.
Rooney has been taking all corners and non shooting free kicks. Shouldn't he be in the box?
Yes please
I was just being conservative. Citeh have been really unpredictable this season. I've got the insurance chip on this match just in case.
Evra's playing like an inside left!
Oh dear, a bit of derisive hand clapping there from Skippy after he picked up the card.
Ron's deliberately trying to piss off the crowd now with a bit of ball juggling on the far side. He's lucky not to get a fifty pence piece in the head for that.
missed it... I was in the loo.
Ron has been booked?
Now Fletcher's hacked Robinho and he's going in the book too. No just a bollocking. Good refereeing there. It's starting to boil over a bit and the crowd is baying for blood.
What was that from Elano!?
Please United, we really need this and it is completely deserved. Don't blow it
Yes, it was a typical forward's challenge.
I don't like this schedule much. Our opponents seem to be matching Arsenal's. We played Villa after them then it was Citeh
What ever happened to the traditional goalkeeper's green jersey with the team's shorts? Joe Hart looks like the bloody Green Cross Code man in that get-up.
Berba and Roon, Berba should have done better there
The game's starting to open up a bit here. End to end stuff. Very enjoyable.
Where's Tony gone? Let me guess - another rock star dropped by for a cuppa? Elton John?
Evra in the book as well. At first, I thought he had already been booked.
Same as last time please... oh no, my link just died
Is yours working?
I've lost my feed!!
Oh dear - this from 365:
"United win a corner on the right. It's swung in and Ronaldo goes up and makes contact with his hands. Webb goes to his top pocket and Ronaldo is SENT OFF. Second yellow card and disaster for United. Obviously saw it as deliberate handball. Ferdinand and the visitors are claiming he was pushed in the back, forcing him to handle it."
I just restarted everything and it is trying to load again
BLOODY HELL!!
TV replays show Ronaldo definitely made contact with both hands. Fergie's face is growing redder by the second on the touchline and United - totally unnecessarily - are down to 10 men.
Still can't get my link back
I've got a MediaPlayer one up again. It's the Live24Xtra one. Pretty good picture and English commentary.
You've got your feed back?
Fifteen minutes left here. United still 0-1 up.
Micah Richards is crocked and he's coming off. Sturridge on for him.
I just got another link to work. It is not Sky but it is okay
Yeah, try Live24Xtra.
That is the one I have
Very attacking approach from Citeh now with four forwards up front.
Come on United, get another one!
Useless by Wayne
Did United make any chances after the red? Doesn't look like it. Roon moved back?
Time for Anderson, methinks.
12 minutes to hang on. There is no way this game should have been hang on time!!
No, it looks as if you're bunkering in for a tense last ten minutes.
Roon doesn't seem into it right now. Bring him off before he does something stupid
Giggs to come on? I wouldn't do that
Giggsy? Surely not.
No, I'd have Anderson on to run himself ragged for ten minutes.
Uh-oh. . . Barnsley . . . that's not good . . .BTW, I've come full circle . . . XM now carries BBC Radio One . . . Cal was confused by all the chatter . . . I had to explain what a DJ was . . .
Dracula's coming off.
I would leave Berba on and take off Roon. Berba can hold on to the ball better than Roon.
It is Berbs off, maybe because of the injury
Morning, Trev!
Fancy pant Sir Trev with XM Radio!!
Yellow for Carrick now.
Carrick is in the book, I thought he was booked already too
Aren't you the one with the Wii set-up, Dave?
Less than five minutes of the 90
Fergie's working extra hard on the gum chewing now....
What does that mean?
Morning, lads. Is XM really "fancy"? It's a cold rain in the nation's capital, no pick-up soccer today I'm afraid. Looks like I may have to start my Christmas pilfering today.
Hello . I'm back . No Rock stars this time . I just needed to have a bite to eat .
Do you know my youngest boy, Jonathan, has suddenly become a LIVERPOOL FAN!! Matt has already been a Citeh fan for a while but now Jon is a Costa fan. I am gutted!!
At least I can count on my first born Thomas to keep his Dad proud
Jeez, Dave, you spoil those children don't you? My lot make due with the discontinued Nintendo Gamecube and used game purchases from the Gamestop.
Citeh just don't have the guile to break United down.
Oh dear, not Liverpool .. . pahtooey.
The 90 is almost up
United bring on O'Shea... oh no!!
A likely story, Tony. We all know that George Michael dropped by with his recipe for ratatouille.
Into added time
This one's all but over. I'm gonna pop off for a tick and Skype my parents before the big match.
I hope it wasn't George Michael. I would be scared for him
Corner to Citeh
OFF THE LINE!!!
And it was delicious !!!
Why didn't Giggs shoot. Roon does and it is saved
Amazing.
Corner to United
Last minute of added time
Get it out of the corner. United never used to do that
Goal kick!
Evra was the one to get it off the line
COME ON REF
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These blokes are Aussies
Maybe New Zealand.They're wearing ALL BLACK
Okay, lads, I've got the missus needing to order me around a bit this morning. I'll try to check in later.
I don't think he should have gone off!!!!
Why would he have handled it!! He had a header
Oh, yes, congratulations, Davey. Glad your side won.
IT was a free header!!!!!!
I am off to get dressed for game.
I am off.
Good luck Arsenal!!
I hope my team wins today. I have scored four goals in each game but we have lost both!!
Cheerio, Dave. I'm back for the big one now. I hope that a few of you will pop back in for a natter.
The sides:
Chelski:
1. Petr Cech
17. Jose Bosingwa
2. Branislav Ivanovic
26. John Terry
3. Ashley Cole
12. Mikel
20. Deco
13. Michael Ballack
8. Frank Lampard
21. Salomon Kalou
39. Nicolas Anelka
Arse:
1. Manuel Almunia
3. Bacary Sagna
10. William Gallas
20. Johan Djourou
22. Gael Clichy
15. Neves Denilson
4. Francesc Fabregas
17. Alexandre Song Billong
8. Samir Nasri
25. Emmanuel Adebayor
11. Robin Van Persie
A win for Chelski would keep them a point ahead of Liverpool ahead of the Reds' game tomorrow. An Arsenal win would vault them into fourth again, a point behind United. And a draw - well, that would give Liverpool a chance tomorrow of topping the table while Arse would be tied with Villa for fourth.
The commentator's reminding us that Chelski haven't been that good against the top four at the Bridge this season. Lost to Liverpool, drew with United. Good omens for Arsene's men then?
First big refereeing decision there. Fab nicked the ball off Anelka's heels on the edge of the box.
It's all Chelski pressure so far. Arse haven't been able to settle as Robbie Earle is pointing out.
Peter Crouch has scored for Pompey against the woeful Blackburn who are on 13 points and looking good for the drop right now.
And Pienaar has scored for Everton at Shite Fart Lane. Harry won't be happy. That's got Spurs level with three clubs on fifteen points right around the drop zone.
Jermaine Defoe has added a second goal for Pompey and they look home and dry now against Blackburn.
Good break away by the Arse ends with a curling Denilson shot just over the bar.
For all the Chelski pressure, Arsenal have had the better chances in the first fifteen minutes. Still 0-0.
Great run by Bosingwa ruined by a hasty blast over the bar.
End to end stuff here.
Blimey - within a couple of minutes Blackburn have drawn level with Pompey. It's 2-2!
GOAL! Oh dear, an own goal from Johan Djourou. Almunia looked weak on that one too, not covering his near post. It was one of those impossible situations for a defender where a dangerous ball is slid in (by Bosingwa) along the six yard line and you have to play it.
Chelski 1-0!
Chelski restore their three point advantage over Liverpool now with that o.g. Arsenal still in fifth.
Great tackle there from Sagna. Chelski are trying to kill Arsenal off here before the break while they're still reeling.
Incredible action. RVP kept a long ball alive and shot on target for Cech to tip it out. Denilson nearly followed up but was denied by Cashley.
Only four goals conceded by Chelski in the league this year. Wow! Not a good omen for Arsenal. No goals conceded in the second half. Nine hours since conceding the last one. Wow!
Pompey are back in the lead - 3-2 at Fratton Park!
Arsene is still having a nag with the fourth official. I don't really know what his complaint is. I can't really think of any contentious decisions so far.
Denilson rifles another shot over the bar. He's been lively today but he needs to put the shooting boots on at half time.
Coming up on half time. An excellent time for a goal as always.
Half-time: Chelski are probably good value for a 1-0 lead right now, but this still smells like a 1-1 draw to me. It could really go either way.
Second half starting up with Wenger a worried man on the bench. What he would give for one in off Ade's bum right about now.
Pompey have finished at 3-2 winners and that's another twenty points for me. Might pop me up to sixth place in the standings again.
Lampard could have killed the game there. He was following up on a through ball for Anelka and shanked his shot badly wide.
GOAL! RVP with a goal out of nothing. At first it looked offside but it flicked off Cashley going through and the flag stayed down. RVP finished with aplomb.
1-1!
GOAL! Bloody hell - it's RVP again. No question about this one. It was just a great free kick nodded on by Ade and a turn and shot from van Persie. Instinctual.
Chelski 1 Arsenal 2!
Full-time: Another famous win for Arsene's men and Chelski have lost their second home match this season, a real worry for Big Phil.
Now Arsenal just need to keep it going with a win against Wigan next weekend.
Well done The Arse. I watched the last of it after my game at the soccer place. I scored another four and we still lost again!!!
I agree with Bob's comment, they have done this against United and then lose to Stoke and like
Take care everyone
Dave
