Premiership Midweek!

It's that crazy time of the semester when the Premier League starts throwing in random slates of Premiership matches on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Today we've got Stoke v. Brum and Spurs v. Sunderland along with a full docket of Football League matches. My eyes will be on Leeds United's home match with fellow Northerners Hull City. Join me if you're enjoying a free afternoon.

Some of the other big matches in the Championship:

Kick-off time then - come on you super Whites!

2:45 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Swindon and Brentford are 1-1 in the one early kickoff tonight.

2:47 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Quiet start in the Stoke v. Brum according to the Merse.

2:48 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

First goal in the Championship tonight. PNE are 1-0 up over Barnsley from a header and it's not Sam Parkin with this one.

2:52 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

"Strong start" from Leeds according to Alan Smiff. Love it!

2:52 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Boro are 0-1 up at Scunny through a goal from Boyd.

2:56 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

It is marvelous looking at our current standing in 8th with 24 points in the Championship. The job is just about half way done and it's not Thanksgiving.

2:57 PM

That match at Shite Fart is about to start up.

2:58 PM

Great save by Ben Foster for Brum.

2:58 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Bloody hell - we've been dominating so far and have just conceded to a one in a million shot by Bostock.

0-1 Hull Bugger!

2:59 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Doncaster have taken an early away lead against Burnley through James Hayter.

3:04 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

That goal has dropped us down to 10th on 23 points.

3:05 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Bright start for Spurs especially through VDV.

3:05 PM

The former UN secretary general retired from the UN in 2006 and has kept a pretty low profile. So imagine my surprise to see that he's surviving in the Scottish third division and that his sponsored side Annan Athletic is currently 1-0 up at home to Montrose.

Sorry about the news from the El. Early doors, surely. C'mon you Whites, c'mon you Black Cats!

3:11 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

The odd thing about our form this season is that we're still in contention for a playoff spot even though we've let in the highest number of goals at home alongside Hartlepool. It's our away record that's kept us in it. 15 of our 23 points on the road so far.

3:11 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Afternoon, Gooner. I appreciate the kind words.

Nice to know that Kofi is enjoying his UN retirement in the Highlands.

3:12 PM

Scott McDonald has rifled Boro 0-2 into the lead against Scunny.

3:15 PM

Scunny have got one back against Boro.

3:17 PM

Loved the comments by Alan Davies on the It's Up for Grabs pod this week about how every footballer is now being compared with Gareth Bale - the flavor of the month.

Hey Bob,
I am here just in time for Leeds to tie it up!
Why are they struggling at ER?

3:19 PM

Way hay! Bradley Johnson has equalized for the good guys!

Leeds 1 Hull 1 YESSSSSSS!

3:19 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

That's Bradley's third goal of the season for us.

Good to have you back on the blog Bob

Hiya, Dave! Great to be back on. I just got my laptop back from the shop this morning. They had to replace the hard-drive, the memoryboard, even the bloody keyboard! The lot! And it didn't cost me anything. Back in action with it this weekend.

3:32 PM

Great job... almost a new computer

3:32 PM

Looks like Robert Huth scored - no doubt from a header - for Stoke while I was meeting with a student.

1-0 Stoke.

3:32 PM

Some lad named Rooney has scored for Inverness CT. Is he related to Wayne?

3:33 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Half time at ER 1-1

3:34 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Probably not.... the only Rooney I know can't score his way out of a paper bag...a wet one

3:35 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

stalemate at Fratton Park against QPR

3:36 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

That works for me. I'd love to see QPR pegged back a bit. Pompey are coming on a bit lately.

3:38 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I'd love to see a Norwich win against Millwall today.

3:38 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Nearly half-time at Shite Fart. How is it possible that Spurs can beat Inter Milan and then struggle against the likes of Sunderland?

3:42 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Norwich are more of a PROMOTION rival than Millwall

3:42 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Very tight at the bottom of the Championship now with Palace leading Watford today. That's them up to 14 points, level with Bristol City and only a point behind the Blades, PNE and Hull.

3:43 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I know - but I bloody hate Millwall!

3:43 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

You let the P word go past with no comment... I'm proud of you

DId you see that Drogba has Malaria!!
He's still going to be playing

3:50 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I did drive, but it was overnight both directions. I buzzed by you Thursday night/early Friday morning around 4 am and hit you around 1 am on the way back Sunday night/early Monday morning. I didn't think you really wanted to see me at that hour - and on school nights!

3:50 PM

I did see that. What a rugged sod. He played with a bloody broken arm in the WC and now with malaria!

Shame - I don't like bloody Derby. We could easily get QPR, Cardiff and Derby back up in the Premiership next season. What a waste!

Take care John


Birmingham go close many times and makes Merson go nuts

"Stoke now go on the attack but they are KNACKERED"



Not that knackered... TWO NIL

And it's Merse screaming again. Stoke are 2-0 up - a screamer from Ricardo Fuller.

What about that duo in the Leeds side

Shmeichel and Bruce

4:33 PM

Oh - Alex Bruce has had a header cleared off the line!

Does that Millwall and Norwich result change Leeds position

All over at Fratton

4:44 PM

Looks like a bit of ruck on the pitch after the end of that Pompey v. QPR match. Do we really want Neil Warnock back up in the Prem?

4:45 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

NO

4:45 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Yeah - it does actually. We're back up to 8th where we started the afternoon, level with Ipswich and Coventry who are in the last playoff spot. Our GD is rotten, though. Other than Palace, the worst in the league.

4:46 PM

What has happened at the Lane... free kick at the edge of the box... yellow for Gomes


Outside the box and cover behind... good decision by the World Cup Final Man
