In the Premier League, Spurs are already 2 up against Everton after half an hour
The Old Firm have gone to half time scoreless at Ibrox
The VSS line for the CC Final is Ch 1 but it is at WHL at the moment
All Spurs at the lane
Modric and Pavla with the goals
2-0 at half time
I have FSC on for 8 minutes of an informercial and then it is Sky Sports News before Costa's match.
Let's hope this link changes to Wembley
Morning, Dave! Best of luck to your Red Devilers this morning.
Are any of the channels showing the match or are we doing this on-line?
Morning Bob,
I don't see it on any TV channels
FSC have the Costa match on
Oh well....nevermind. We'll be watching anyway, right?
Where's the build up on the computer!!
Absolutely, we are spoiled these days
I am enjoying Sky with their build up
50th League Cup Final
The first winners vs the holders
Forest were the last team to retain the CUp in '89 and '90
This link has build up
http://www.livevss.net/jtv.php?c=muzone7
It is BBC
Rooney is not in the starting line up
Thanks for the link, mate!
The Birmingham result helped me yesterday but it was still a bruising day on the predictions front. I ended up with only 10 points. I'm still in 4th place in the "Shut Up, Voyeur" table.
Brad F. is in the net for Villa
It was said that O'Neil was going to play the other bloke the whole competition
Wonder who is the 'home' tema?
Spurs are back up into fourth on GD over Citeh. Liverpool have a chance of getting up to 48 points today with a win against Blackburn but they'll still be in sixth at best. Villa in 7th obviously won't play in the league today. Birmingham in 8th on 40 points will still entertain dreams of a Europa League spot.
Who's the other bloke - Brad Guzan?
United team
Kusz
Rafa
Vidic
Evans
Evra
Valencia
Carrick
Fletcher
Park
Owen
Berba
I think it is
Villa
Friedel
Cuellar
Collins
Dunne
Warnock
Young
Young
Milner
Petrov
Downing
Ags
Heskey
Everton have gotten a goal back
I'm getting all anoraky this morning, so I've just looked up Leeds United's run-in. We have these 13 matches to come:
1. Home to Brentford (3 pts)
2. Away to Tranmere (3 pts)
3. Away to Soton (1 pt)
4. Home to Millwall (3 pts)
5. Away to Norwich (0 pts)
6. Home to Swindon (3 pts)
7. Away to Yeovil (3 pts)
8. Home to Southend (3 pts)
9. Away to Carlisle (1 pt)
10.Away to Gillingham (3 pts)
11.Home to MK Dons (3 pts)
12.Away to Charlton (1 pt)
13.Home to Bristol R. (3 pts)
That would add 30 points to our current 67. Just shy of 100, sadly but I'm guessing enough for automatic promotion.
Why no Rooney today - saving him?
I hope you're right
More away games than home!
Yakubu with that Everton goal.
As it should be at Ibrox as Edu scores in added time. 1-0.
What a mess of a game.
My United's run in
1. Wolves (A)
2. Fulham (H)
3. Costa (H)
4. Bolton (A)
5. Chelsea (H)
6. Blackburn (A)
7. Man Citeh (A)
8. Spurs (H)
9. Sunderand (A)
10. Stoke (H)
A tough test some them
I guess he resting him for the run in. Of course, Cappello will play him on Wednesday
Donovan just missed an easy tip.
Hey it the bloke from the England video with United
LOVELY!!!
Yes, UNITED ARE IN RED!!!
What is this bloke is up too.... he has the BBC picture and then the Sky sound comes in.... knock it off
Spurs v. Everton in the 95th minute now. Spurs hanging on for the win. Sorry about that one, Someone.
Absolutely horrible first half, and a failure to finish in the second.
Everton now 9th on 38 points. I'm afraid that European ambitions for David Moyes are a bit of a stretch now.
I was in the loo for the teams coming out... nice timing!
I reckon that United get 21 points from those remaining fixtures. What say you, Dave?
30 without a doubt
Hello everybody . Best wishes from a
very wet England .
I actually have the game live on BBC
Also let's not mention the football
yesterday .
Here we go, the Villans(in more ways than one) kick off
Why has that bloody thing gone in the middle of the screen??? Knock it off
Villa have a corner inside the first minute... cleared
Everything was going on so smoothly until the match starts!
Bloody hell, now I have lost the link!!!
Penalty !!!
Are you ignoring me Dave ?
1 nil Villa
Morning, Tony!
Anyone have a working link?
BLOODY HELL!!!
I CAN'T FIND A LINK!!
What happened?
Morning Bob . Finally someone knows
I'm here .
Hi Tony,
I am too frustrated.... I CAN'T FIND A LINK!!
This one seems to be working, Dave:
http://www.justin.tv/wwe_rumble_2010#r=qJnXb6g~
The atdhe link has one working... and now it is off again!
(*)#*&(YT#$Y{T
It was a foul by Vidic . Could have been sent off but wasn't .
365 reports: "Penalty for Villa and sensational scenes here. Vidic tries to stay with Gabriel Agbonlahor as the Villa striker roars into the box. Vidic gets it all wrong and hauls down Agbonlahor. Vidic stays on but Villa have the spot-kick."
Now Owen has been hauled down by Collins. Yellow card to the Villa defender. Owen did well to skip away there.
a foreign link
http://www.justin.tv/artv3#r=4T1xzqE~
Poor free kick by Carrick, hit the first man.
Sky
http://www.justin.tv/wwe_rumble_2010#r=4T1xzqE~
This one has Sky coverage, Dave. Wakey wakey:
http://www.justin.tv/wwe_rumble_2010#r=qJnXb6g~
1 -1 Owen
YES!!!!!
MICHAEL OWEN!!!!!!!
my link is jumpy so I don't see it hit the net
nice finish!!
GOAL! Owen looking like the striker of old hits the equalizer!
1-1 Game on!
Great Cup Final... just wish I could see it!!
Berbatov made Richards look like a mug there. Nice finish from Owen.
Are you not reading my comments, Dave? I've given you a working link not once, but twice! Pull your finger out!
which link are you watching Bob?
Oh, cracking shot by Milner, well saved by Kuz, rebounded to Ag but he couldn't finish it off.
Got it!! Mine is jumpy... yours?
Nice save by Kusz
Come on Evans... stop the ball
http://www.justin.tv/wwe_rumble_2010#r=qJnXb6g~
I don't think Dave reads any of the
comments . At least he never replies
to mine .
Hey... Alan Perry quotes Johnny Hates Jazz
Turn Back the Clock
Mine's not jumpy; just fine.
Owen looks reborn! Where did this form come from? Does he really think he has a chance of getting on the plane to SA?
Downing into the book now. Those cards will build up. I'm assuming that Vidic got a yellow, right?
I remember that tune!
No Vidic didn't get booked
Villa fans are booing the ref for not carding Carrick after that last lunge.
Gerrard has just scored for Costa
Park's getting a lot of space on the left. Downing's not tracking back properly on that side. I don't know why he's playing right side anyway.
I can't get a good link that isn't jumping
Heskey down injured at present.
Berbatov just a wee bit offside there.
Rooney looking pensive on the bench.
Great run by Park!
My link is still pathetic!
Andy Gray thinks Villa fans have a case for the ref favoring United.
Rafael is the latest to go diving in. Yellow card? Nope - more booing from Villa fans.
Stop your whining, Dave. What are you paying for it? Exactly!
End to end now. Great pace to this final. I'm thoroughly enjoying it from a neutral perspective.
Milner tries to bend one but it just didn't come off.
Very true
Berba and Owen seem to be combining well today. How about that as a strike partnership, Dave?
On FSC, the Highbury Library seems to have been moved to Merseyside
Alright - now I'm whining. Lost my link. Searching....
Hate to complain but I've lost my link again
Got one back
Seems the best of the day
VSS Ch 1 finally
I'm back on VSS now:
http://livevss.net/channel1.php
Chance for United to put in a free kick
Carrick gets it over the first man and almost over the penalty area
Corner
That's the link I have and it is working wonderfully
Come on United... keeping turning the screw!
Wonder why the bloke stayed with the Spurs after-match blather so long rather than switching over to the final. Spurs fan, obviously!
Can't afford this one going to extra time... I have to leave for Jon's game for a 1 o'clock kick off
I don't know why you're bothering
with all those links , it's perfect
on the BBC . Just watch that !!!
Berba looks up for this one... he looks like he is hustling
Who are you calling "idiot," Shirley!
Shut it Tony!!!
Very funny, Tony!
The bloke who kept it on Spur... you know, the Spurs fan
Owen is doing well, wonder what Fabio is thinking.
That was a clinical finish
Oh - alright then, Shirley.
Oh Dave , you finally answer a
comment from me . Too late I'm off .
I think Don Fabio is too crafty to get suckered into thinking that Owen should be Roon's strike partner. Fergie doesn't even use him that way.
Owen should have hit that one... why didn't he?
I actually said hello to you fish face
Yellow card for Evra - derisive applause from the Villa fans.
Penalty to Blackburn at Anfield in front of the Kop...scores!
Owen is hurt with his hammy... bugger!!
On comes Rooney
This is a shock - Owen's coming off and Roon on in the 41st minute!
What happened?!
Nearly half time now....
You could see him ease up on that left foot chance
All the talk of Roon not playing and he is on anyway
Costa have retaken the lead... that bloke Torres!
First game back and first goal after coming back for Torres. What a player! Wish he were English.
Paul Robinson was in complete no man's land
Berbatov did well there but then shot weakly at the keeper.
What a scramble in the box
What happened to Park's shot??
off the post!!
Off the post from Park!
Berba got kicked in the meat and two veg
Now Berba's grabbing his knee. How many injuries will United sustain today?
And why are we still playing in the 49th minute?
Half time
Nice one both teams
Same again in the second half except for United scoring more. I am off to get dressed
Half-time: Cracking first half. Delicately poised for more of the same in the second half.
1-1
Just saw the penalty
Definitely a penalty but I am not sure about being a red.
Redknapp is saying it was red
If Costa do hold on for the three points, they will still be in 6th place. Two points behind Spurs and one point behind Citeh. Citeh have a game in hand on the other two. While Villa will have two games in hand on Costa and only three points behind.
VERY CLOSE
Again, up the top three points separating three teams
Should be exciting
United get the second half underway
COME ON MAN U
Roon has a weak shot
Slow start to the half
ooh, Carrick goes close
Great save by Big Brad
Come on ManU
Come on ManU
Come on ManU
I hate this
1606: Plenty of empty seats at Wembley at the start of the second half.
ooh, Berb and Roon both almost in
I'm back. I agree with you. Why not give away those unused seats to kids' charities?
Not necessarily empty for the whole game but they are sipping wine in a restaurant not caring about the game
Have you seen an England squad for Wednesday yet?
I didn't see it. I heard that Shawcroft did get called up.
I wonder who will be captain
Saw the picture of Ramsey... horrible
I really like Valencia... the player... not the team
Gooner and I were disgusted by the number of empty seats that we saw at the WC 2002 match we managed to get tickets for. I couldn't get tickets through the lottery - Gooner got them through an Italian journo who he does bookings for. I expect more of the same this summer, alas.
Terrible!!
I missed the Shawcroft incident. Haven't seen the Ramsey pics yet. Not sure I want to.
You don't want to see the picture
I saw the challenge this morning on SSN
United are trying to pass too much ala Arsenal
I see those Norwich City fans in the crowd again today.
Rafa's down and the Neviller looks as if he may have to take his place.
According to the Guardian, Ramsey broke both tibia and fibula in his right leg. Wow!
I looked at FSC for next week, it doesn't look like they are showing FA Cup!
West Ham and Bolton is the first match and United's match against Wolves is the late one
Where's the Cup matches? They've shown the previous rounds!
Isn't March 1st the end of Setanta and the start of FSC 2
We don't get that channel anyway
He had successful surgery
The Neviller replaces Rafa... oh dear
Two subs by Fergie have both been enforced.
Liverpool still leading with a little less than twenty five minutes to play.
Sunderland and Fulham at 0-0.
Vidic in the book.... that wasn't much
Yeah - I think you're right. FSC2 is supposed to be the HD one, right? You know, I discovered a whole load of HD channels up in the 700s that I hadn't realized that I get a couple of months ago. We might try poking about this week to see if we do get the extra FSC channel after all.
Rovers aren't laying down for Costa
ooh Villa go close twice
Come on United, keep it tight
Not as close as I thought
Roon has done nothing so far
Can't get rid of a bloody advertisement in the middle of the screen!!
GOAL! Roooooooooooooon!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ROONEY'S BALD SPOT DOES IT AGAIN!!!!!
Made by Valencia again
I couldn't really see the goal because of the bloody advertisement
Fantastic header there. The ball was slightly behind him, forcing Roon to fall backward while he was simultaneously fending off Collins. I don't know how he got the power to be able to beat Brad Friedel. Roon's 28th goal of the season.
2-1.
Baldies are better headers of the ball, innit?
Finally get rid of it to see Valencia almost puts in Berbatov
15 to go to the first silverware of the season
Oooh - Berba nearly onto another dangerous Valencia ball. I agree - Valencia's been an excellent addition.
You would know
ooh, Valencia to Roon's head... off the post!!
Ronaldo who?
Carew to come on.
Come on United... make it safe!!
11 to go
Carew about to come on for Heskers I would guess
No - it's Cuellar coming off. Martin rolling the dice. Should open some gaps for United breaks.
Again, I can't afford this to go into extra time
It isn't Heskey coming off. A defender comes off
Lots of open space at the back... Milner told to go left back... he can stay there
Oooh - tipped over by Kuz from Ag's header.
Struth... Villa go close
Off the bar from a deflection
Corner to Villa... clear it!
United can't get any possession!
Rooney makes a horrible pass and then heads it out for a corner
Foul
GET ANOTHER ONE UNITED
I'm sick and tired of these advertising break. Half the time, they pop up saying that there are "hot girls" in my local area waiting to hook up. As if I care....?
Keep the ball
The final ball wasn't there!!
Valencia causing problems again
Gibson on for Park
Shore up the midfield
Park off and Gibby on. Park had a good first half but Valencia's come into it more and more as United have switched the attack to the right side.
It is happening to me too
We are being very snobby now, aren't we?
Under 5 of the 90 to go
I would love to see Blackburn get one back right about now. Not that I like Sam Allardyce or his side, but Anyone But Pool.
Yeah - we're whining a lot today. We've got spoiled!
What a ridiculous free kick for United... pass it short to Valencia in an offside position. Don't waste time United
We don't go to the flag
Corner to United in the 87th minute
United are finishing off the game very well here. They are giving the ball away too much
How many minutes of stoppage time?
STRUTH!!!
I thought that was going in at the back post!
From anon via text: "Plaudits may go to Rooney again. But I'm such an admirer of Valencia. Makes a contribution every game and just gets on with it
Last of the 90
Roon goes to the flag... United DON'T DO THAT!!!!
That annoys me
4 added minutes
Costa still wining in the 92 minute
There goes Valencia on a run. Finds the side netting with his shot. Wastes a bit of time.
