1324: Turnstiles have just opened at Wembley, there are flags on every seat for the supporters.
Scores so far in the Prem
Hull 0 Blackburn 2 2nd half
West Ham 0 Citeh 0 2nd half
Bolton 0 Newcastle 1st half
Aston Villa vs Stoke still to come
I am watching the UK Seatanta link from p2p for the game at Upton Park.
What is with the top of the Championship?
Yesterday Wolves lost at home to Plymouth, Reading lost at home to Forest and today Brum are losing Sheff. Utd.
Doesn't anyone want to go up to the Premiership!!
The Hammers have taken the lead.
Collison scores a nice lob from a rebound
Hull are down by two and also down to ten men as Marney gets sent off for 'serious foul play' but now Pedersen gets his second yellow and is off too
Citheh hits the side netting. Most of the stadium thought it was in.
15 minutes to go
My link all from Upton Park changed to a dark studio with some guys voice
I am now on the Veetle link
Bolton have taken the lead against the Toon
Hull get a goal back with 11 minutes to go
The Blades have beaten Brum
I'm here, mate. Looking forward to a a memorable final.
1413: Breaking team news from Wembley... Wayne Rooney does not feature for Manchester United. Jonathan Woodgate is out of Tottenham's team with an Achilles injury, so Ledley King and Michael Dawson start in defence. Darren Bent and Roman Pavlyuchenko will lead the Spurs frontline.
Good morning Bob
I will hope to be here all morning.
I have to go to Jon's last basketball game. It starts at 12:15. Hopefully I will see the whole game. I hope it doesn't go into extra time!
I was invited to a friend's house to watch it on Setanta with a fellow United fan and a Spurs fan. The host is a Toon fan
If you haven't tried it yet, my new favorite site is:
http://www.livevss.net
It's the full Monty, mate. And every channel works. You can watch eight different matches and the cricket.
Ta very much
Free kick chance late for Citeh on the edge of the D
I'm on Channel 1 and it's got the Sky Coverage of the Birmingham match just about to go off and will have the build up to the final in just a second. It's brilliant!
That website looks great
Off the wall for a corner
LOVELY JUBBLEY
Where did you find this one?
Did you ever listen to that Five Live link about footer on the net?
I never did
The Hammers have won
Off to your new website
The Sky coverage is just about to start.
How was your Math Bee yesterday?
Mine doesn't have sound!
Sound is okay now
Rovers hold on for the win
Are Hull going down? They are 3 points off the zone
I was on a JustinTV stream having trouble pulling up the West Brom match yesterday morning and it was posted by someone in the chat. I tried it and I was on it all day yesterday. Amazing. You can click in and out of each channel really easily if there's a goal scored somewhere else or open up several windows and have several games going.
Hull are in big trouble but I think they may just have got enough points earlier on. I may be wrong, though. They haven't won since November.
Wembley Way
BRILLIANT
Ah, Wembley Way, wish I were there with all the LOB throng.
No Rooney or Berba
Glenda and Macca along with Stelling in the studio. Hoping for Martin Tyler and Andy Gray on the commentary.
Andy!

I knew it was going to be them
Can I just mention that I'm second in the Ronaldo the Slave league?
No, there isn't time...
So if you lot win this one, would you count this and the Community Shield as a domestic double?
Is Jonny Evans English? I hope so. Tell me he's not from Northern Ireland!
Well, the Shield has not been counted by everyone
We also lost the Super Cup to Zenit
But the Shield, World Champs, Carling Champs, Prem Champs, FA Cup champs and Euro Champs would be too bad, would it?
I don't think they will win the lot.
Inter still scare me
Oooh, Oldham v Leeds tomorrow.
I've found that the trick to watching Soccer Saturday is getting onto the Sky stream for the early (7:45 EST) match on a Saturday morning and just staying on that stream after the match finishes. I watched the whole SS yesterday from about 9:45 EST onward. It was tremendous.
Oh, yeah, I'm all over that one.
I reckon that all four English clubs will make it through to the CL quarter-finals. They're all well positioned.
Oooh, Leeds vs. Manly tonight....oh, that's rugby league. Never mind...
I will definitely do that for SS next week.
Will it work on this site?
There is a full slate of games in the Premiership during midweek this week.
There are no games next weekend except for Sunderland vs Spurs. The game that was supposed to be on today. It is the cup next week.
Saturday is Coventry vs Chelsea for the EARLY morning and Fulham vs United at 12:15
I just saw that the Arsenal Fifth Round game is on Sunday. Steve won't be able to go.
What a shame
Here comes the teams!!!
Hey, I just got friended on Facebook by a Margie Geaney. Do you remember her from LHS. I've got a dim memory.
Marvelous atmosphere.
Haven't a clue about that name
Yeah, that is a shame. Still, he's in heaven over there, watching the matches with the old man. They went out for an Indian last night. Wish I were there.
Bolton have beaten the Toon.
What is up with them?
I know. My memory is getting really bad for names. I keep getting friended by these people, though. Wish it were Tina or Joel. Those are the two I'd really like to hear from.
I don't like this Amercianized pre-game.
Just come out with the fans, no music, and have the Coldstream Guards playing the anthem
That was a particularly shrill version of the anthem, I think.
Look out for the advert with Carlton Palmer in the bubble bath. It's brill.
Joel has called me many times.(not lately) but he says he doesn't "do" the internet
I have the Villa vs Stoke on FSC too
Come on United fans... out sing the Whites
COME ON UNITED!!!!!
sort out your sound buddy. I can here funny stuff going on
Here we go!
All of a sudden, my screen has become jumpy
COME ON.. sort it out
I am going to refresh
wish me luck
You never answered my question, earlier. Is Evans English?
Better
What happened with Welbeck and Tev
I'm okay at this end.
I was just going to
I think he is Irish
Corner to United. Should have been.
Bugger!
First free kick opportunity for United. Zokora chops Tevez.
BTW, he is Northern Irish
Free kick chance for Ron
My link is still jumpy!!
Comes to nothing
All United right now. Ronaldo with another decent chance.
I am having major problems here!!!
Keep me posted. I have lost my link
Mine's starting to get jumpy to. Should we look for another?
Sorry, mate! It was perfect yesterday.
I am going to get another one up too
Hopefully this will sort out
Villa totally dominating Stoke
The atdhe link is behind the Sky coverage
I was wondering why there was a line after the third place team in the table.
Well, did you know that the top three go directly into the CL. Only the 4th team has to qualify.
Now, if United win this it will open the 6th spot for the UEFA Cup or Euro League(whatever it is going t be called)
ooh, Gibson goes close
United need to get a goal with this dominance
This guy better sort out his coverage!!
Come on... get your finger out!!!
I'm on Channel 2 now. Same website. The stream is better but it's Setanta coverage.
Nani has a nice effort
Still all United dominance. Spurs haven't had a sniff yet. Good strike Nani!
Massive scrum in the box. I agree with the commentators - a goal is coming.
Lennon looks injured. Modric has been completely anonymous.
Spurs have chance in the box but Rio clears
First real opening. Lennon's in and Foster goes walkabout.
Free kick Spurs after a trip by Evra. Good couple of minutes for Tottenham.
Useless free kick from Modric, just a speculative ball lofted gently into the box. Easily cleared.
20 gone with no goals
Okay, at least Wellbeck is English born. Get him away from the Ghanaian FA reps.
Are you on a decent feed now? If not, livevss.net Channel 2.
I have the atdhe link for Setanta. I want to keep the SKy coverage just in case
What do you make of Harry Redknapp's complaints about fixture congestion?
Yeah, I'm gonna try Channel 1 again for the half time coverage.
My link is the same as yours and it changed to The Ron Reagan show
That's weird - Channel 2 just turned to Ron Reagan's Air America radio show. What is going on with livevss this morning?
Everything has gone pear shaped. I can't find anything
Everything is off air
Iraqi goals link is working
Of course, not sound
I was enjoying this until now
I'm on the second Adthe link now. Spanish commentary. Irritating.
Atdhe first link is now working
Setanta
It's a really difficult day. The chat rooms are howling in protest. Lots of effing and blinding. There are millions of footer fans out there watching the Ron Reagan show for some reason.
10 minutes to go.
I have the atdhe link working well. Fingers crossed
Pav has a header chance but hits it wide
Still scoreless at Villa Park
Corner to United
Cleared
Cheers, mate. My Spanish was never very good.
Close to half time now.
This match needs a goal...
Tevez has his shot blocked
Tevez was in there but the chance was snuffed out quickly. Should have hit it.
United need to improve
Why aren't Spurs better?
They were supposed to be
Petrov has put Villa ahead in the last minute of the half.
Tevez scrapping like he's still on the backstreets of Buenos Aires.
Something just popped up on your new site but it is frozen again
Half time scoreless. A good start but fizzled out
Half time. I'm off for a shower.
Looks like your site is up an working again.
There are English commercials
Second half underway and the livess Sky coverage is great so far
Free kick chance to United
Come on Ronny...wide. Well, it didn't hit the wall
I'm back!
Why didn't Ron shoot there!!
Spurs have a free kick
Pavs should be in the box. Gray was right. Pav takes it and it was 'orrible
Cheers, mate. I've got the livevss back up and it seems to be working well. Love the Sky coverage.
Corner to United
Come on... get a goal in front of our fans
Cleared
The sound is actually louder than in the first half!
Doesn't it seem as if United doesn't have the cutting edge up front today?
Cold Giggs come on and change things
Nani coming off for Anderson. Not the most attacking move.
O'Shea's talked himself into the book. First yellow card?
I am not liking what I am seeing. I think United are going to leak a goal
Just under the hour mark
I missed the substitution. Did it happen? I was helping Matt with his math
Anderson comes on for Welbeck
Villa are still one up
Pavs has been rubbish all day. Where's Robbie Keane?
Evans shoots and Tevez tries to knock it in.
Close
COME ON UNITED!
Sorry, I thought it was Nani.
Oh, best chance of the match. Tevez a bit too casual. It would have been seen as genius if it had gone in, though.
Come on United... turn the screws
I was just going to say that Andy... just like against Rovers but Anderson to take...useless
More concerted pressure by United now. They're going for the kill. Free kick chance now.
O'Hara on for Pav surely!
You seem to be ahead of me. I just saw the Anderson free kick. I'm at 63 minutes.
That should have been O'Shea off for a second bookable offense.
O'Shea couldn't have been off though.
Of course, the cards are show far too much these days.
You look at games from the seventies, the tackles are hard but fair. I don't think a lot of these tackles are bad but the ball gets moved just before the foot comes in.
Bugger, my link froze for a minute and I missed something United
Here comes O'Hara. Is he a forward?
Frozen again, I am now watching the Setanta link on Atdhe
Ron booked for diving. I don't think he should have been booked. I don't think it is a pen either
Yellow card to Ronaldo for "simulation" there. I actually thought King caught him but outside the box. Andy thinks a penalty.
We agree on that one.
Are you on a setanta link right now. my sky has gone out again...great link you gave me Dahlgren!
20 to go
Lennon has a shot, saved by Foster.
Where was the defense?
Well done Ben
Great save, Foster! Lennon was in there.
Lennon should have buried that; he hit it straight at Foster, to be fair.
Why is Clemence the color man? He is an ex Spur and Costa. He must really want United to lose
Vidic coming on for Evans?
Vidic on. Why? You need to win this one.
I think Evans got a knock. He was wincing a while back
The sky coverage came on for a sec and now is frozen
No, he is off for O'Shea
Why not stick Park on for Scholes? The old man's got to be feeling it now. Park will run all day long as long as you promise him some alsatian stew after the match.
The commentators say 'absorbing final
I think it has been naff
Under 15 to go
I don't have a good feeling about this game
Neither side trying to win it now. Playing for extra time.
What a goal by John Carew!!
Villa are two up.
A sweeping volley!
I don't think it's been that good either. When the commentators say "absorbing" it means that they want to keep the viewers watching.
"Can Manchester United score? They always score!"
Fantastic. That was my prediction and I had the banker's chip on 2-0. That'll do nicely. Shut up shop, lads.
Are you watching Villa on Channel 4?
We want a goal, we want a goal, eee ay adio, we want a goal.
Ags should have scored another, I guess he was listening.
My Sky link just clicked on again and then froze again!!!
Free kick chance for Ron... miles out but...
Come on Ron!!!
Five to go!!
Great pass by the referee there.
Into the bloody wall
Too far out for Ronaldo, surely.
Stoke hit the inside of the post!
United don't want extra time!
Andy Gray would only stop the game if the player's leg was off!
Sky back on
and off again
Drop ball - why?
Sorry mate, Stoke have scored in the 87th minute
My stream is still going strong. Hope it keeps up. Only a few minutes until stoppage time now.
Ref blew the whistle because O'Hara was hit by the free kick
COME ON UNITED... LAST MINUTE GOAL!
Bugger, bugger, bugger. Only 10 points then.
Which stream? Sky?
Stoke still might score another
3 minutes of added time
Nice run, Anderson.
Yeah, Channel 1 on livevss. Still Sky and still strong.
Two minutes of added time at Villa Park... STOKE HAVE SCORED AGAIN!!!
Mine has been hopeless
