I have my ATDHE link going strong.
Everton have a few early chances
Five gone and no goals
I've got the derby up on the atdhe site and it's a wee picture, but very clear and it's got Andy Gray so I'm settled in.
One chance so far, Lescott mistimed header from a corner still stranded Reina in no-man's land.
It's end to end stuff so far. Torres and Keane up front for Liverpool. Anichebe up top for the Toffees.
Can anyone tell me why Liverpool want to let an Italian club take Agger off their hands. Martin Skyrtl isn't nearly as good an option and Hyppia is creakier than me.
Hiya Davey,
Enjoying the day off?
My link just disappeared. I am trying to get it back
Loving it, but almost over
Of course, you can make it full screeen
Still can't get the link back
try this one. http://www.iraqgoals.com/en/ch2.html
Have you lost the link from ATDHE?
Michael Owens' dad played for Everton? True?
yes. ATDHE is dead at the moment. The Iraqgoals one up there is the best I found.
Cheers, still a little jumpy
The iraqi one has Martyn Tyler
Before I lost the link, it was really free flowing end-to-end. Now it's a slog in the midfield. I liked the former better.
So the Ad link was lost, like me?
Ian Rush should regrow the 'tash. His hooter is overwhelming without something else to look at. TBF, he brought along Phil "The Beak" Thompson to distract, but he really should regrow the 'tash.
Yes, one minute the Ad link was great, the next it couldn't reload and was gone. I'll check again if this one keeps jumping.
Couldn't agree more
20 minutes gone and no goals. The link you gave me is very choppy. How about yours?
I've thought that if the Arse was to go raiding English clubs for players, Arteta, Yobo, and Lescott would be good targets. I can see all of them fitting in well and us being the better off for having them.
I like Cahill too, but he's not skillful enough to keep possession in our ground game.
I have been checking all the time. I will let you know when it works
Do you think Everton would sell to Arsenal. They are right behind you in the table
ATDHE IS BACK
Davey, I went back to ATDHE and it's better now.
and now frozen again
Snap.
Cahill has a nice header saved by Pepe
bollocks to this.
Hey, did I get it wrong. Are you lot up against Derby today?
I missed your Michael Owen comment.
I don't think he played for them. I think he played for Chester City but I think the whole family were Everton Fans
No, we play them tomorrow
I thought so too. I heard the commentator say that Owens' dad had played for Everton. I'm sure he's wrong.
Very frustrating day so far for links. Nothing is working
Hey lads; I didn't see that Gooner had started a thread here. Good to have a chance to natter on with you today.
Adthe is back! Brill. Let's hope it stays on for a while now. Thirty two minutes gone and still no score.
Torres missed a sitter about ten minutes ago.
Let's hope we can a link to work
I am trying other links from AD
I put on the Boston Bruins link. They just let a goal in with 0:00 left on the clock. It may not count!!
I'll let you know
Anyone got a score for Leicester vs. Yeovil?
People are hockey mad around here. I can't see it, honestly.
Any Owen's dad Welsh?
0-0 at half time
As for the Bruins, the goal was allowed.
OVERTIME!!
Who cares
Glad to see the derby is back
More of the same for battle of Stanley Park
Setanta have a Scot on there but it's not Andy Gray or Lou Macari. It's some second-rate Jocko.
0-0 will suit me but I wouldn't mind a Yeovil upset.
Me neither with hockey but I do think it is the most like footer of the American sports. The actually let the players react and make plays instead of calling time outs every time or calling the plays all the time
Sorry I've been down. I searched about and found this in case you're in the same boat.
http://my-tvfree.com/channel-10.html
Liverpool is the European Capital of Culture but as the sign at OT said "Manchester, European Capital of Trophies"
AD is working again.
HOW CAN WE FIIND ALL THESE LINKS AND WE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING PRE-SEPTEMBER
That cross was just behind the attacker. Bugger
come on you blues!
Close thing there from Riera.
Liverpool go close with a thunderbolt after Everton sloppily give it away. Knock it off boys
My guess and it's only a guess is that there's been a recent change in the format that it's broadcast so that it's possible to hack now.
I read that these streams are the free ones that Sky sends out to places in the Middle East and Asia where they're growing the game. The streams can be hacked and redirected back through a webpage. That's why if you listen on the radio, it's about 2-3 minutes off.
Who won the toss today at this match? I know. How do I?
Very interesting, of course some of these matches are ahead of FSC. Yesterday's game was a minute or so ahead of the TV
Skyrtl's got nerve whining about his inability to obstruct Cahill.
Half time
Well Done Everton!
More of the same please
Oooooh, I missed that chance of Torres' where it came back off the post.
Half time and my link is playing really annoying Japanese techno. I'm for getting a snack.
I have no idea how you know that Kreskin. Tell me.
Bob, do you know how I know?
Half time at Goodison. 0-0 would suit me; that'll net me another 15 points, bringing me up to 90 points for the weekend.
I have no idea how you know that.
I have Everton beating 'Pool. I just have a funny feeling about this.
Jimbo!
I hope you're right Gooner
As for the toss, Liverpool won the toss without a doubt. They won it and chose to attack the Kop in the second half. They always want to attack the Kop in the second half. If I ever played them, I would always send them toward the Kop in the first half.
Of course, United always want to attack the Stretford End in the second half.
What about Arsenal? Did they used to want to attack the Clock End? What about he Emirates?
What about Leeds?
I don't know that there's any preference at the Emirates. But you're right about us attacking the Clock End in the 2nd Half when we were at Highbury.
Teams are back and that weather is really ugly. Sleet-snow. Ughhh.
It seems Arsenal prefer to attack from right to left on the TV which is the same direction as Highbury, right?
Second half has begun
Kathy just delivered me a lovely cup of tea!
Now that you mention it, I think that it's true. But the stadium is new enough that there isn't a real "Home" end yet.
Nice cross by the Everton full back but swallowed by Pepe
Costa could have had a penalty there. I think I would have wanted one
Big shout there for a penalty with Torres going over in the box. Was it a push? I don't know about that.
Bob, what about Elland Road
Kathy, it's lemon and honey in mine.
Any chance of a biscuit too? Tah.
Yeah, we always want to be attacking our Kop end in the second half, no doubt. I should have guessed that.
I'll ask her
Just milk and sugar for me
I'll have some cheddar on toast please.
Is that going right to left? Arsenal is right to left, United is right to left.
Costa is the other way
I had that earlier
Arteta in the book
29 minutes plus stoppages to stay on top!!!!
If Baines could have cut that back just a little bit, Cahill would have been in.
United play Everton at OT in a fortnight on Monday night
too far out for Arteta
Free kick opportunity for Everton and Timmy Cahill here.
Good hit but well collected by Reina.
He does take a pop. That was difficult for Pepe
Yeah, the Kop End at Elland Road is on the left side of the telly screen when you're watching a match.
first corner?
Isn't the Stretford end down on the right when you're watching at home?
Good save, Timmy!
Boy that was close.
Nice save by Howard and the rebound blocked
Keep it up
Nope, the Stretford End is on the left. Where Roon and Berba scored against Chelski
It is getting rough out there
So what do you think about Belamy off to the wrong side of Mancester?
Is that heavy metal looking ukrainian guy still at L'pool?
It's one of the few clubs left for him to play for, no?
Has Keane touched the ball?
Thank you for that expert opinion Steve Mac
Less than half an hour to go
This could well end up 0-0.
Do either of you know how to shut down the chat window of link? I moved my blogchat window over it because it's really distracting
Voronin? Dunno. I haven't seen him playing in red for ages.
I don't have a chat window on the AD link
I just looked him up, he is on loan at Herta Berlin
Voronin. That's the guy. He was rubbish as a starter, but was a different style to bring on in a moment like this. I haven't seen him either which is why I asked.
I bet you Keane will come off... he will not be pleased
Is this Rafa's reason for wanting control of transfers. Maybe he didn't rate Robbie K at all.
Keane was rubbish today. But Benayoun? Honestly.
Why would Benayoun come on for a striker. They need a goal
Everton almost in there. Wa it a pen?
BUGGER
Stevie G with a corker!!!
While the link is frozen, it gives me a chance to comment on the Citeh situation.
The two deals that Citeh have made in this transfer window (Bridge and Bellamy) indicate that Citeh haven't really turned the corner yet. Both are second-rate, IMHO. They've got bags of money but they won't be able to use it to pry away the best players until a few things happen. First, they'll need a world -class manager (sorry, Sparky) like Mourinho who's a proven winner. Second, they'll have to have some European competition. That's not going to happen this next season but they can start by sacking Sparky sharpish. Until they do that, Citeh will have the likes of Joe Hart, Richard Dunne and SWP in the side. And that suits me just fine.
Typical fast break and grasscutter finish from Gerrard. Timmy, where were you there, mate?
Bugger, I missed it. The link has gone.
How can teams leave him open in shooting range
Nice slide there Pepe
my link is crystal clear
Rafa loves Benayoun for some reason.
Exactly David. If the ball comes lose, there must be someone with a motor to stay with Gerrard as they go forward. You just can't give him the run of the pitch.
Bob, http://my-tvfree.com/channel-10.html
Come on Everton
Show some guts and get a goal back
Very calm by the little Neviller
My picture is in and out but it's a good link overall. Commentary is steady.
I'm still frozen here. Whenever I click on the link, the little pinwheel just goes round and around and I'm stuck watching Reina leaning over to pick up the ball or some such bollocks. Frustrating.
My AD link has been brilliant since we got it back
Yeah, true enough Bob. For all their money, Citeh's only been able to lure Robinho, but they're in real danger of losing Elano which is another barometer of their overall ambition.
Ah - that's better. Cheers Gooner. Adthe was knackered.
Liverpool passing the ball and keeping Everton from going forward.
It's been in and out. Good when it's up because it's the Andy Gray one. This is Martin Tyler and some Scot muggins.
Worse than that, Sparky has allowed factions a la Real Madrid and Barca to develop in the camp. So he wants to flog Elano and Jo because they've been out on the piss a few times. In this day and age, the training that an old-fashioned British manager has just won't cut it among the big boys. Sparky's just fine at a club like Blackburn, who's main ambition is just to stay in the Prem. But Citeh will need a Hiddink, Mourinho or some such to fulfill their big ambitions.
I think Sparky is not right the job but the powers of be thought that he was better than Sven
Come on Everton... break Costa's heart.
Chance for Arteta get a dangerous ball in
Come on Lescott or Cahill... cleared
Factions are inevitable at a club with the diversity of players that they have. What possibly would Richard Dunne and Stephen '2grans' Ireland have in common with Jo, Robinho, and Elano?
I hate the grabbing in the box!
Skyrtel is a sneaky sod. Definately had a fist-full of Cahills shirt. Penalty?
Bugger - I'd have loved to have seen that Osman shot fly in. That would have been a 30 point goal for me.
Osman with a hit... Easy take by Pepe
That's not how you get back in the game. Osman smacks it straight at Reina.
Baines almost in and there is a lucky deflection for a goal kick
Torres off... Five to go plus stoppages
Lucas, the dirty bugger, is on
Yeah, but it doesn't help a club like that to have a monolingual boss. Don't you think that Wenger can speak to his players in French, English, Spanish and probably Portuguese for starters? Fergie uses multilingual underlings to smooth things over for him.
Yawn, Lucas comes on for Torres. Now I really want Everton to break their hearts. Boring, boring, L'pool.
Go on - stick this one on Cahill's noggin!
Come on Arteta, put a better ball in please.
Costa, not so much shirt this time
GOAL! I called it! Yes! 1-1!
YES!!!!!!!!!!
Cahill you beauty!!!
CAHILLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!
Whoever was backing into Carra did a major job there. He basically moved Carra out of the way so the ball to get to Cahill.
Keep in tight Everton
He always gets in there
GOOD DAY BRUCE
That'll do me nicely.
Under two to go
How many added minutes? Three?
There was no foul there for the goal
And best of all, he just raped Skyrtel to get a pretty free header. That dirty cheat won't want to see that film.
Go on for one more Everton.
Babble on for the last minutes or so
Boys in Blue... MARK #8 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah, Babel's on. Don't let him flop into the box. He's on a bit of previous with that.
Anfield is emptying
Come on Everton... get the winner
Did they say added time?
1-1 in the Derby, and people are streaming away to the car-park? Numpties!
I'm knackered again.
bugger, my link has a pinwheel
Unbelievable that anyone would leave at this stage. Are they trying to get home for Newsnight?
My link is off... keep me posted
I'm out too. What's going on?
The Beeb text say it is over.
LOVELY JUBBLEY!!
United, top of the league, United United TOP OF THE LEAGUE!!
Has it ended yet?
Everton are now 5 points behind Arsenal. They host Arsenal midweek after the Cup on the weekend and then United at OT the following Monday. If they get something from those games it might be the BIG SIX!!!
Yep, finished at 1-1, and United stay top for now.
Excellent! Thirty points for me on the Predictions chart. Way hay!
Cheerio, lads. I'm gonna make my way home through the snow.
Right, Eric's been patiently waiting to go back to his online game. I'm out. Cheers lads.
Back tomorrow for the Carling, yes?
Yes it is over
I have turned on Five Live now
Have a good rest of the week
I won't be around for United's semi final tomorrow. I have a department meeting and then my new semester begins.
Take care
