Football's Back!

After a seemingly interminable international break, football is back with a vengeance this weekend. Week 8 in the Premiership has some fascinating match-ups, all capped by the Merseyside Derby on Sunday. Join me for all the action this weekend.

With no early games in the Premiership and Leeds not playing until 3 pm GMT, I've had the luxury of a Saturday morning lie-in.

Now, I'm all fired up for the regularly scheduled matches. I hope you'll join me this morning. It seems like ages since we had a proper Saturday natter on the footer.

In the two early kick-offs in the Championship, the evil minions at Cardiff City have prevailed over Bristol City. That increases Cardiff's lead over third placed Norwich in second and firmly plants Bristol City on the bottom.

Speaking of the Championship for a moment. my beloved Leeds start at 11th today and I've just noticed that we don't kick off until 12:20. It's an away fixture at Boro. Perhaps there might be a link for that one?

I'm watching the Premiership Preview show on FSC now. Two interesting statistics that they've mentioned about Mick McCarthy's Wolves. They hold two dubious records this season: most fouls in the average match and least number of shots on goal in a match (2). No wonder they're the most despised club in the Prem.

In Liverpool news this morning, supervillains Hicks and Gillett have claimed in the press that the NESV's £300 million takeover of the club is a "swindle" and an "organized conspiracy." Bwaaahaaahaaa!

News from the Emirates as England striker Theo Walcott and Denmark forward Nicklas Bendtner return to the Arsenal bench for their clash against Birmingham.

That's the 10 am FSC match. Looking forward to it.

Javier Hernandez and Dimitar Berbatov have been chosen to start up front to face a Baggies side good enough to beat Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium last month. Rooney will start on the bench where he belongs after that stinker for England in mid-week.

Kevin Doyle is included in Wolves' starting line-up for this afternoon's bottom-of-the-table clash with West Ham at Molineux. Tal Ben Haim and Kieron Dyer replace Matthew Upson and Pablo Barrera for the Hammers.

Bolton captain Kevin Davies is fit enough to lead out his side at the Reebok against Stoke while Tony Pulis names the same side for this game that enjoyed a 1-0 home victory over Blackburn before the international break.

Ooh - that is difficult. I've just noticed that United v. WBA is on ESPN2 at 10 am too. Tough one. I may have to switch back and forth.

9:54 AM

Good morning BD. I will be watching ESPN2 as United taking on West Brom . It is interesting that Leeds play at the same time as Aston Villa vs Chelski.

Fantastic - I've got a lovely link for Soccer Saturday, so I've got the Full Monty going now. Here it is:

ESPN2 coverage has started at OT. Steve Mac just outside the tunnel talking turkey about Wayne Roon. He agrees with me - the lad should be dropped until he plays himself back into decent form and gets his head right.

9:56 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Morning, MUR! Since you're about, I'll be watching United v. WBA in your honor. Best of luck to your Red Devilers. Your thoughts about the line-up?

9:58 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Roon is on the bench. He will be missed(sarcasm). SAF is upset because Dr. Steadman stated that Owen Hargreaves is fit when he really isn't.

9:58 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

A bit fortunate for you lot that WBA's top scorer Peter Odemwinge is out for injury. I don't rate his replacement Fortune.

9:59 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

What on earth is going on with Owen Hargreaves? I can't remember a player who had a longer injury than he has, can you?

10:00 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

If Drac and Chicharito score then Roon will have a tough time making the starting lineup. Stevie Mac thinks Roon will play in the CL match on Tuesday. I will watch Leeds play Middlesborough on the link.

10:00 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Ooh - that looks good. It sounds as if I might get a link up for the Leeds match at Boro.

10:00 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

United get us underway at Old Trafford. UWS would point out that United are attacking the Stretford End in the first half so they must have lost the toss.

10:01 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

No. The only one I can think of was a blond striker with Leeds in the early part of the decade. I can't think of his name. Surely Hargreaves must retire.

10:01 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Cheers, mate!

A quick start from the Baggies but it comes to nothing.

10:02 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

We did catch a break as Odemwingie is out with a knee injury. I think Morrison will be their most dangerous player.

10:02 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

The only blond Leeds striker I think remember from that period is Alan Smith, but I don't remember a lengthy injury for him. I'll have to put my thinking cap on to puzzle that one out.

10:03 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Vidic did well against Fortune as WBA attempted to break with the long ball.

10:04 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Agreed. Vidic will have to keep a sharp eye on Morrison.

Chicharito earns a free kick here.

Now United have a free kick about 25 yards out.GOAL !!! Carson spills the free kick from Nani and Chicarrito score. An early goal for United. Did you see that Roon?

Leeds play the late game today, right?

Oooh - that could have easily been an equalizer. Good last ditch clearance by Raf. Nearly an og, though.

10:13 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Why wasn't that a corner for the Baggies?

10:13 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Nani was through and showed some great trickery, then WBA break and Rafael makes a great tackle to prevent a goal. It is a goal kick. We caught a break.

10:13 AM

ooh, just wide by Berbatov

Green makes amends for his earlier error with a fingertip save for West Ham.

OOH! Nearly 2-0 as Drac curls a shot just wide.

Good effort on the turn there.

10:14 AM

What do you think is going to happen with Rooney?
Is this Van Nistelroy again? SAF just gets rid of him

10:14 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

The Baggies have had some chances!

10:15 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Btw, that goal takes you lot within two points of Chelski. You'll be looking for some good form from Villa later on. They could give Chelski a decent match.

10:15 AM

Stevie Mac claims that SAF is saving him for the CL match. I think your theory might be more accurate, UWS.

10:15 AM

Dave in London via text: "Fergie has the guts to do what Fabio Capello didn't... Drop Rooney! Excellent news that Berba and Chicharito start together!"

Blogger manunitedrules said...

I agree that the Chilean miners should get free tickets to watch United at OT.

10:16 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Hard to say what's in store for Roon. SAF has zero tolerance for the off-pitch shenanigans but he's also been a much more intimate mentor for Roon than with Ruud. Beckham might be a better measure of the relationship. The Guardian podcasters were speculating that Roon might get a move to Spain in January but can you imagine a player less suited for Continental life than Roon?

10:17 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I thought Hargreaves was going to be involved today.
Didn't make the squad



United look very shaky back there


Giggs with a great run.. fouled... just outside!

Absolutely, MUR. Especially "SuperMario Sepulveda. What a champion that lad is. He brought a tear to my eye. Chi chi chi - le le le!

Useless free kick

Almost another for Wee Pea sliding in

10:19 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

The Rio-Vidic partnership does look a wee bit rusty. It will take a while for them to get back on the same wavelength.

Ooh - the ball is fizzed across the six yard box by my boy Nani but Chicharito is inches away from it.

I read a link on soccernet that SAF is furious at Dr. Steadman for stating that Hargreaves is fit when he isn't. SAF said that Dr. Steadman needs to shut it and stop talking to the media.

Come on Berbatov... that the bloke from last season... don't start it again

10:21 AM

Oh - Drac misses an absolute sitter. Six yards out. Brilliant ball in from Carrick. Misses. Will United rue these missed chances?

10:21 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

That was a chance for Drac as he misses an easy chance.

10:21 AM

I reckon that playing two holding mids means that SAF has a decent amount of respect for the Baggies. Brunt just wide there. They have had their chances.

Newcastle now sliding down toward the relegation zone. Could be a long slog for the Magpies.

I solved the mystery of the missing Leeds striker. I was thinking of Michael Bridges. He had to be injured as much as Owen Hargreaves. I always rated him and he surely would have been an England regular. But for injury, He would still be playing today as he is 32 years old.

Thanks for clearing that up. You are right about Michael Bridges. Not only did he claim a lot of wages as a injured player but when he finally did get fit again, he returned to Elland Road for several different lower league sides to stick the knife in. We basically got one decent season out of him in which he was our top scorer.

Unbelievable. The United defense allowed two WBA defenders to get in behind them from that routine free kick.

Roon is warming up. He is the one player who has been around for both errors between VDS and Green. An interesting coincidence.

Ex-ManYoo player Chris Eagles makes it Sheff United 0 Burnley 2 from the penalty spot while Millwall are 1-0 up at Crystal Palace. Theo Robinson the man responsible.

Nani is fouled just outside the penalty area after a great run. Carrick did well to win the ball in midfield.
