On the last day of the season I'll need a Newcastle-like miracle to make up 55 points on the league leader KatzFC. Here are my picks for today:

Arsenal 2 Stoke 0
Villa 1 Newcastle 2
Blackburn 1 WBA 0
Fulham 1 Everton 1
Hull 0 ManYoo 2
Liverpool 2 Spurs 0
Citeh 0 Bolton 0
Sunderland 0 Chelski 2
West Ham 1 Boro 0
Wigan 1 Pompey 1

Wish me luck!

I'll have any equation that results in Hull going down.

10:26 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Agreed. Howay the lads!

Alan Shearer has consigned his mate wee Mikey to the bench in favor of Viduka and Martins up front for the most important match in yonks for Newcastle.

10:53 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

FSC is wrapping up its coverage of the five goal thriller from the San Siro between Milan and Roma. Up next - United at Hull with a much weakened side.

10:57 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

The teams are coming out at Villa Park. I've got a great Setanta stream up through MyP2P. Dave's got the Sky 3 stream up through VSS on his computer and it's a multi-media fest here in Scotia.

10:58 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Early throw for Newcastle.

11:03 AM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

I'll join the chat as soon as I find the Arse.

11:04 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Coloccini's been roasted twice by Milner early on. Not a promising start for the Magpies.

11:05 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Bright start by Hull at the KC Stadium as they force a couple of corners in succession against Man Utd.

11:07 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

FSC are finally starting the match on the box almost ten minutes behind. Shocking!

11:08 AM  
Blogger gooner71 said...

Well, nothing doing for Arsenal coverage so I think I'll go upstairs and watch United beat Hull.

11:09 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh, cleared off the line by Villa.

11:12 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Yeah, Gooner, we can't find anything for Arsenal either.

11:13 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

First goal of the day
Citeh 1 Bolton 0
Caicedo with the goal

11:14 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Still very ticked off that FSC start their coverage 10 minutes late!!

Martins hits the ball over the bar
Should have done better

11:15 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Newcastle doing well

Goal #2 of the day

Arsenal 1 Stoke 0

Beattie with the own goal

11:16 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

James Beattie has scored an o.g.

Arsenal into the lead 1-0.

11:18 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Sorry, Dave!

11:19 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Ashley Young looks hurt. No, he's alright.

11:21 AM

Good save by Harper

Bob's picking his nose now

11:23 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Where is the CIA?

11:24 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

GOAL - ARSENAL 3 STOKE 0. The Gunners are running riot! Abou Diaby rising unchallenged to head home Van Persie's free-kick.

11:25 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

3-0 to the Arse

11:25 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

MAN UTD HAVE SCORED!!

GIBSON WITH A BRILLIANT GOAL!!

Of course, FSC haven't shown it yet

GO LIVE!

11:26 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

The Newcastle fans are celebrating so apparently United have scored. FSC are still seven minutes behind the action. Cue the hate mail to Max Bretos.

11:27 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

It should have been 2-0 but Federico Macheda misses from 10 yards out.

11:30 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Wigan take the lead against Pompey

11:31 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Wallop, that is a hell of a strike from Gibson. FSC have finally caught up with the action.

11:32 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

FSC finally get to the goal

What a crack from Gibson

11:32 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Hugo Rodallega opens the scoring for the Latics at the JJB Stadium.

11:33 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Stolke get a goal back
and Costa have taken the lead

11:36 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Half an hour gone - Hull 0 Man Utd 1, Villa 0 Newcastle 0, Sunderland 0 Chelsea 0, West Ham 0 Boro 0 in the crucial games at the bottom. Still 0-0 in the games that matter in the race for seventh too. Hull are going down as it stands.

11:36 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Torres with the Costa goal

11:36 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

The Newcastle link has frozen

11:38 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Carlton Cole has scored a rare goal for the Hammers in the 33rd minutes.

1-0 Hammers and Boro are dead and buried.

11:39 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

FSC are lingering on every shot of a crying kid in Hull colors that they can find.

11:41 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Damien Duff scores an own goal!!

11:41 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Dave has too many windows open to handle.

11:44 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I'm handling them fine thank you very much

11:45 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

The Arse are 4-1 up

11:45 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Van Persie with a brace.

11:47 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

in the first half!
Bob thinks he should leave the Em

11:48 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Wee Mikey is looking despondent on the bench. He'll have to come on in the second half if things stay the same.

11:48 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Everton have taken the lead late at Fulham
Not good news for the Cottagers and a place in the Europa League

11:49 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

It's all well and good scoring a brace in the last game of the season against Stoke when it doesn't matter. Where was RVP in the semi finals?

11:49 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Martins hits a free header wide

11:49 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Half time at Villa Park and Shearer trudges off wondering why he didn't stay at Auntie Beeb.

11:50 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Malouda hits the post at the Stadium of Light
Half time at Villa Park

11:50 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

As things stand, Newcastle and Boro join West Brom in the Championship while Fulham will claim the final Europa League place.

11:54 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

FSC better catch up at half time

Bob, I expect a perfectly constructed letter sent to FSC to complain

11:59 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Nicolas Anelka needs to score one in order to claim the Golden Boot from Cristiano Ronaldo.

12:00 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I'll get right on it.

12:02 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

FSC haven't caught up. They are still going to be behind
HOPELESS

12:03 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

There is a guy dressed up as a nun in the Toon crowd.
Divine Intervention is needed

12:05 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Here come the teams at Villa Park

Come on Toon

12:05 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

The teams are coming back out at Villa Park. Newcastle need a right old miracle in the second half. No changes yet.

12:05 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Of course, FSC are still at commercials

12:06 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

FSC have made up a little time. Still over a minute behind the Villa game

Chelski have taken the lead at Sunderland

12:08 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

FSC are back. They've made up a few minutes during the half time interval but they're still slightly behind the action.

12:08 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Anelka has got his goal. He'll be top scorer in the Prem.

12:09 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Anelka with the Chelski goal. He will now be the Golden Boot winner unless Ron has a strop and gets to come on in the latter stages
Pretty tough with not even being on the bench

12:10 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Sunderland and Boro have both tied it up

12:13 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Newcastle starting to defend like normal...useless

12:14 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

All Villa at the moment

Milner, who started the season at St. James', almost scores

The Toon going to make a change and it isn't Wee Mikey

12:17 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Shearer needs to make a change soon. I'd say Butt and Duff off and Owen and that young kid up front with Viduka and Martins.

12:17 PM  
Blogger Chelskilad said...

Hi Dave and Bob .

Worlington Village Fete . Great weather . Loads of people there . Good fun .

Hi Tony - it's been great fun this weekend in Scotia.

Newcastle have done NOWT this half
Great half time talk Alan!!!

12:23 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Wee Mikey about to come on
Be a hero Michael, be a hero

12:24 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I still think Owen should be on the bench for England. Show Fabio what you can do Michael

12:25 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Still nothing happening for Newcastle. This is a sad capitulation for the Toon Army.

12:25 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I agree - Owen should be in the England squad but he's not been helping his cause.

12:26 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Costa are two up
Kuyt with the goal

Fulham...say hello to Europe!

12:29 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

HE WILL TODAY

12:29 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Tasty free kick opportunity for Hull City here.

12:30 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I guess Hutton scored an OG at Anfield

12:31 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Let's hope so. Come on, wee Mikey. I want to see a somersault from you.

12:31 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Duff must be on the take by Hull!

He scored an OG then gives the ball away and Barry almost buries Newcastle

12:32 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

You told me he did that only on the hat-trick goal. Although this would mean more than any hat-trick goal

12:34 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Blackburn down to ten men
Roberts for violent conduct

12:34 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

There are some right little plonkers in the Hull stands.

12:35 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

15 minutes to the drop!!

12:36 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Perhaps Owen would perform a somersault today if he scored the vital goal that kept the Toon up?

12:36 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

CIA is being the CIA!!

Makes one comment then buggers off!!

Viduka goes off. I would have kept him on!

12:37 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I'm loving the Hull fans, especially the down-market Hull City Elvis impersonator.

12:37 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Chelski have taken the lead again

It is almost over for Newcastle
They can't get the ball

12:56 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

It is over
They are DOWN!!!

12:56 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

A sad day indeed in the Northeast with Newcastle and Boro both going down. Sunderland have survived, though, and they'll be enjoying the evening bragging rights along with Hull City fans.

12:57 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

And it's over at Hull. They've lost but they're delighted nonetheless. Dancing on the pitch and in the stands.

12:58 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Unbelievable for Newcastle!!
So, the Premier League is over!!

United Champions
CL
Costa, Chelski and maybe Arsenal
Europa League
Everton, Villa and FULHAM!!

Going down
West Brom, Boro and NEWCASTLE!

12:59 PM
