FA Cup 5th Round Live!
It's FA Cup time again and the action kicks off with a bang early with high flying Championship outfit Swansea taking on Premiership relegation battlers Fulham in a few minutes. Along with the Cup matches, I'll have my eye on my Leeds boys in their Yorkshire derby with 'Uddersfield.
Join me, won't you?

Leeds had the earliest kickoff this morning at 7 a.m. EST and are languishing one down at Huddersfield as I type. Come on, you Whites!
The Adthe link for the Swans and the Cottagers is up and running lovely.
Still 1-0 Huddersfield after half an hour but we seem to have had the lion's share of the chances. I'm still hopeful. Early doors yet.
Nearly half time at Huddersfield. I've just noticed that Jermaine Beckford isn't in the team today. Injured again? That could scupper our promotion hopes.
Swansea have kicked off with Fulham.
Early scare for Fulham. Mark Gower jinked his way into the box and hit a bobbly shot that came back off the post. That could have gone anywhere and Schwarzer somehow collected.
Half-time at Huddersfield - 1-0 to the home side. I'm hoping for better in the second half.
Swansea look a really good side from this evidence. They could do something in the Premiership next season, especially given a few new signings in the summer.
The Swans' back four playing pretty square, nearly let in AJ there. A danger sign for them. They're very positive but might be naive at the back.
After the initial burst, Swansea have settled a bit. Very even at this point. Fulham did well to weather the early charge.
We're into the second half at Huddersfield now. Still 1-0.
Oh, it's a shocker. Against the run of play, Fulham have taken the lead from an own goal off a corner.
We're down to twenty minutes at Hudderfield. Come on, the Whites!
Into the last ten minutes. Dave isn't here to say it, so I'll do the honors.
It's LEEDS Time!
We've outplayed Huddersfield away from home but are still behind in the 86th minute. Shame. A win today could have vaulted us, at least temporarily, into 5th place.
I'll take a goal from anywhere right about now. Come on!
Swansea are about to kick off the second half, trailing 0-1 to Fulham in this 5th round tie.
GOAL! Swansea get a neat equalizer through Jason Scotland, their leading scorer. Good stuff from the Welsh side.
Meanwhile Leeds have succumbed for the second time this season to their Yorkshire neighbors. It's a bad loss at the worst time. Oldham now have two games on us including a relatively easy fixture today. We've made our jobs harder.
Swansea and Fulham are wrapping up a 1-1 draw here and it looks like both sides will go into the quarter final draw.
FSC are setting up Sheffield United vs. Hull City. I'm going to search around for a better FA Cup fixture on Adthe.
I'll only be around until 11 though as I've got to run out to the movies with some friends.
Right then - I've got shaky video and no audio on Adthe for the West Ham vs. Boro match. I'll keep trying.
There is one match on in the Premiership - Pompey vs. Citeh. I've predicted a 2-2 draw there.
Goal for Blackburn at home to Coventry. Roque Santa Cruz drills the ball past stand-in keeper Andy Marshall to give Rovers the lead.
In League One Southend have taken the lead at home to Tranmere, Theo Robinson with the goal.
GOAL! Greg Halford has given the Blades the lead against a faltering Hull with a towering header.
Boro are 1-0 up heading toward half-time with West Ham.
Zayatte has equalized with a header from a corner for Hull. 1-1 in this 5th round tie.
Hey Bob, I am back from basketball
Sorry about your lot.
I wonder what was up with Beckford. I know that he was going to be charge by the FA for the elbow last week
I just turned on the Pompey Citeh Prem game on atdhe
Pompey really need to win this one
Peterboro have gotten a goal back. They are losing 2-1
Coventry have tied it up in the Cup at Ewood Park
Glen Johnson makes the vital break through
Nice goal
Pompey score a second through Herridison
2-0 and only 15 to go.
VITAL for Pompey
Pompey will not move up far, only one place, but they are now four out of the drop zone
Finally got the TV control back.
Under 15 to go at Bramell Lane
Coventry has fought all the way back and have take the lead against Rovers
Under 8 to go at Ewood
What happened to Matt Derbyshire? He was a young prodigy and now he has been sent off on loan to some foreign country!
Millwall have been down to ten men and have just conceded. Still winning 2-1
The Pompey link has frozen. I am watching the Rovers match.
Coventry could have added to their lead twice
The Hammers have tied it up with 7 to go
Ilunga scores
Millwall have been pegged all the way. 2 up and now all square
Leeds did lose but...
Leicester are losing
MK Dons are drawing
Peterboro are losing
Scunthorpe are losing
Millwall are drawing
Tranmere are drawing
The may not have been hurt as much as it could have!
Leicester just tied it up
Into injury time. Coventry about to knock out Rovers
What a scramble in the box but Coventry survive!
More craziness in the Coventry box and Rovers get in the net in the 93rd minute!
If the scores stay the same, absolutely nothing has been decided in the first FOUR games of the Fifth round.
Pompey have won
Rovers go close to the winner in the 95th minute!
It is over... replay time
Peterboro and Scunthorpe have both lost at home
Sheff Utd and Hull end all square
MK Dons have won
Millwall have drawn
I won't be able to follow the Watford Chelsea for much. I am off to more basketball! Will one of them be the only certainties in the hat for the Quarters?
I have to leave in about 15 minutes but I have the Watford Chelsea on one screen and Wales vs England in the 6 Nations on another
Gus Hiddink in the stands as we get going at Vicarage Road
Wales take a three point lead
Chelsea go close in the first minute
Anelka and Drogba both playing
Chelsea have all the possession
This is going to be a rout
Free kick chance for Lamps...hits the wall
(in front of his dad, who works at Watford)
England score a try and are now only 9-5 down
England were supposed to be hammered by Wales but it is now 9-8
Still no goals at Vicarage Road but all Chelsea
Gus and Roman sitting side by side. Not sure if they are holding hands!
I am off now
I guess Bob had the morning session and I had the afternoon.
Shame we did meet up
I will be around for tomorrow but not right at the beginning.
Take care everyone
Sorry we were ships passing today. I'll be around for the duration tomorrow and will look forward to catching up with you lot.
