The FA Cup Derby... and some league matches!
So, all the fans in Manchester have all had to make the trip down to Wembley to play a match that should have been played in the Midlands or in Liverpool
Join me for the big match!
Okay, there are some league matches out there too. Looking forward to WBA continuing their unbeaten run against Chelsea.
Bob's lot better get the fingers out and get a win today at Elland Road against Watford
COME ON UNITEDS!!!

Got a lovely Soccer Saturday link going strong
http://www.justin.tv/boxingukguru#/w/1089242784
SS showing a strop by Beckford when he brought off last week. Moyes had a real go at him!
I hope United go into the match wanting to win!
I think it being Citeh helps.
United haven't won the Cup in 7 years!
Rio wasn't in the side that day against Millwall and Rooney wasn't even at Old Trafford.
Only FIVE players in the squad have a winners medals!
Who are they?
Giggs, Scholes, O'Shea, Fletcher and Wes Brown
Morning, Dave! You beat me to it by about 13 minutes. Thanks for the post and for the SS link.
Morning. I'm at work, but there's no one here so I'll be around. I'll be looking for an Everton link but I'm going to give the SS link a shot too.
Morning, Someone. Sorry to hear that you're working on a Saturday morning but that's often the way of the world these days innit? Welcome!
Morning Fellas
Who is this long-haired git on the FSC preview show?
Haven't even turned on the TV
Torres starts on the bench at the Hawthorns
Who IS that plonker
Oh - it's Jamie Trecker, the author of that "Love and Blood" book about the 2006 World Cup. Interesting choice.
ah... he's a computer geek!
Chelsea's line-up
Cech, Ivanvic, David Luiz, Terry, Cole, Essien, Mikel, Lamps, Kalou, Drogba and Malouda
Did you see story about Birmingham worried that the FA will take away their European spot because of finances? Is it a conspiracy so LiverSox can make Europe!
I wouldn't be surprised at all. Typical FA spinelessness.
Another reason I'm rooting on Arsenal tomorrow.
Jack via text: "Both myself and my Mrs are united fans, she is due to give birth to our first son tomorrow. We have agreed to name the baby after United's winning scorer today!"
Hope Wes, Javier or Dimitar doesn't score the winner
No, we want a draw or Arsenal loss tomorrow!
Big matches midweek this week
Tuesday
Prem
Newcastle v Man U (today's match)
Champ.
Burnley v Boro
Wednesday
Chelsea v Birmingham
AND
Spurs v Arsenal
I HAVE THE WEEK OFF!
Everton are best for pies!
COME ON WOY'S BOYS!!!
Right - it's time for a bit of the MOT. Back after some dancing.
This is a very informative feature to me. I've always wondered about the food available at matches!
Oh - the food is truly awful. "Beefburgers" slathered with onions, Pukka pies, Bovril and the like. It's Medieval.
Predictions for today?
I'd like to see a Sunderland win at Brum
Home win for Blackpool v Wigan
Everton to beat Blackburn
WBA to beat Chelsea
West Ham to win in the battle of Claret and Blues
Reds to win at Wembley
You guys used to get your useless kebabs!!
I always got my lovely fish n chips
The LUFC side for today's match at the Elland against Watford:
Schmeichel, Lichaj, O'Brien, Bromby, McCartney, Kilkenny, Johnson, Snodgrass, Howson, Gradel, Somma. Subs: Higgs, Connolly, Naylor, Becchio, Livermore, Bannan, McCormack.
Nothing like a kebab or a chippy before a match. Lovely!
WBA not lost at home since NYD... to United.... COME ON YOU BAGGIES
Some of that I have to try. I'm curious about Pukka pies, but I'm not sure if the colon would take it.
Good luck to Leeds.. they really need to get things going!
Norwich gave us a chance to extend our perch in the top six today and we need to take it. Come on, you Whites!
West Brom kick off at the Hawthorns and it's Rob Hawthorne on the mic for FSC. Coincidence? I think not!
Goal at Upton Park... to the Hammers!!
Keano
Bloody hell - it's a great start for West Ham. Robbie Keane has scored!
1-0 Hammers!
Oh dear - Wigan have scored at Bloomfield Road. I really fear for Blackpool.
Another one... to Wigan... bugger
Two really quick goals so far
For some reason there's been a delayed kick-off at Elland Road. Not quite sure why.
Finally - we've kicked off some five minutes late.
Fast goal for Wigan. Wow.
Everton have had a couple of chances, make nothing of them.
Are you watching the match?
I see a couple of links for the Everton match
Struth
Liverpool Yth 6 Man Utd Yth 0
YIKES
Millwall are away to Coventry today. We really need a Coventry result. If results go in our favor, we could be four points clear of 7th again and with superior goal difference. That would suit me with only four matches to play.
I've found one thanks. Looking for consistent audio as I should be working :)
The Baggies really giving it a go. I could see them getting something today.
Bugger.. Cardiff take the lead against Pompey
Hope you're right
Cardiff have scored early doors. That will lift them back into second a point clear of Norwich.
Coventry beating Millwall
Oh - I don't like that. Hull have taken the lead against Doncaster. They're up to 63 points level with Forest.
But that's great news coming out of Coventry. Fantastic!
Chelski are coming back into it at the Hawthorns.
Heitinga's pulled a hamstring, Rodwell in for Everton.
More bloody horseracing!!!!!!
GOAL! Odenwinge becomes the highest scoring Baggie in the Premiership with a little chip over Cech.
1-0 WBA!
STRUTH THE BLOKE CHANGED TO RACING... IT AINT THE NATIONAL
AND
WEST BROM TAKE THE LEAD!
I would love Chelsea to lose here!!
Let them get caught by Citeh AND Spurs
Nice! Doncaster have leveled it at Hull. Looking good if we can just score a goal.
Doncaster have tied it up at Hull
READING WINNING AGAIN
SEVEN STRAIGHT WINS!
Reading can't stop winning and they've taken the lead again, this time against Leicester. That suits me just fine.
Hull back into the lead
Chelsea tie it up
AWFUL CLEARANCE!!!
GOAL! Drogba nets after an almighty scramble in the WBA box. Sloppy stuff.
1-1
KICK IT OUT!!
Why did the WBA defender knock it back across the area? Why not knock it out for a corner?
Reading already set for win #8
Two nil
They are five points off an automatic spot
More goals in the Championship. Hull are 2-1 up and Reading are now 2-0 up.
Pompey down to ten men
Cardiff going to win then
This is a repeat of the FA Cup Final of a few years back
Pompey are down to ten men!
Leeds have stopped scoring since their four against Forest
The SS link only slightly behind the TV
Davide Somma is starting his first match in yonks and he's nearly scored the opener. Come on!
GOAL! Another sloppy one with Carson bobbling it straight back to Kalou who nets it.
1-2 Chelski!
Bloody Hell
2 1 Chelsea
Useless keeping by Carson... Malouda knocks it in
SAVE IT OUT WIDE
Kalou sorry
Scunny winning at Selhurst
Thank you for not mentioning that Scotty Carson is an LUFC Academy product. Oh dear.
Palace are safe, aren't they? The bottom three are adrift a little but Sunny is one of them
Was the defender part of the LUFC Acad too
WBA were losing 2-1 last week at Sunderland and still won
Fortunately, not.
Palace are only three points clear of Scunny, so this would be a huge six pointer if the score stands. I'd say that PNE and the Blades are adrift.
I have decided that Leeds have decided to do the same as last season... stink it up in the run but clinch the spot on the last day of the season in the second half being down to ten men!
Come on Woy's Boys
Lamp with a nice shot saved
Cracking strike from Lamps from the free kick, tipped over by Carson.
Could be right, Dave, but I'm not sure my heart can take it again. We're away to QPR on the final day of the season. They'll be home and hosed at that point, so let's hope that QPR run out the ballboys that day.
Dean Windass doesn't think we're bossing the match. Oh dear.
Villa have tied it up
Villa have equalized at Upton Park after Mark Noble tried to dribble it out of his own box. Darren Bent with the equalizer.
Merse isn't happy with Blackpool's perforamance today. They're in the dropzone now.
Chelsea were looking very worried with being one down but now they are walking it
Wigan out of the drop zone!
Preston and Shef Utd are still scoreless
Why aren't both teams going for it!!
It should be 3-3!
WE NEED A GOAL!
Sounding like church at Goodison, not much happening.
It doesn't matter - neither side has a hope of clawing their way out of the dropzone. They're both going down.
Newcastle v United
and
Spur v Arsenal
are both on ESPN 2 this week
Cheslea v Brum is on FSC
Speaking of Brum... they take the lead against Sunderland
Birmingham have scored an "absolutely awful" goal against Sunderland according to Big Nose.
I know they are both doomed so why not just go hellbent for goals!
Is that on Friday or Saturday?
Tuesday and Wednesday
I don't think the Prem play on Friday
Nearly half-time. Still 0-0 at Elland Road. (sigh)
uh oh... Leeds host Reading on Friday!
Surely that one will be on the Computer
GOAL! That's torn it. Lamps knocks home a third for Chelski after a good move down the left. Kalou did well.
Three one!
BUGGER
I wanted Chelsea to suffer after Wednesday's result
It's time to break their run now, innit?
If I were Ancelotti, I would put on Torres on in the second half... surely he could score against these lot
Wigan two up!
More bugger! Wigan are 0-2 up at Bloomfield Road. Blackpool are throwing it all away.
Leeds have gone close but "not close enough" according to Jeff. Off the crossbar from Maxi.
Millwall are level at the Ricoh
ooh, WBA should have scored there!
Half time
Half time at the Hawthorns now....
no score at the half at Goodison.
Time for some halftime tea
Bugger! Millwall are back in it. 1-1 at the Ricoh.
Cardiff two up
Cambridge are winning at Forest Green
Half-time at Elland Road. 0-0. Not good enough. We need goals!
As I type , the bottom of the table reads like this
Blackburn 36
Wigan 34
West Ham 33
Blackpool 33
Wolves 33
I guess our predictions of Blackpool finishing bottom is going to be right!
Tell the Leeds players that it is the big rectangle at the end of the field!!
The bloke is recording the big fight tonight... set your recoding later buddy!!
Are you going to watch El Classico today?
It is on ESPN Deportes... so it will have to be the computer
I will be busy working around the house after my United book their Final place
We're back at the Hawthorns as Chelski kicks off leading 1-3. So much for the Baggies getting something today.
We're off in the second half
LEEDS TIME IN YORKSHIRE
Of course I'll be around for the Derby.
Cheers, mate!
Second half underway at Goodison. Let's get a goal here Toffees1
Odemwinge takes a tumble in the box looking at the ref for support. Nothing doing.
Come on Woy Boys
Hull are 3-1 up now!
Brighton winning at Walsall... close to being Champions!
Hull three one up
Malouda has the ball in the net but he's ruled offside.
I am surprised Torres wasn't brought on to break his duck... the defenders will set him up!
Millwall down to ten men! Now, take some advantage Coventry!
Why did you not comment about the Manchesters XI?
The Beeb people picked
Schmeichel
Neville
Pallister
Edwards
Irwin
Ronaldo
Charlton
Bell
Best
Law
Rooney
Gooner and I have wondered if Torres wasn't a Roman buy that Ancelotti wasn't keen on, somewhat similar to the situation with Sheva.
Magaye with a blistering shot that's ficked aside. Everton showing some threat early.
Only Bell for Citeh
Law and Schme both played for Citeh
No Giggs, Keane, Van Nist, Beckham, Scholes, Rio, Vidic
I can't be arsed about ManYoo's All-time XI. There's only one United in my heart.
Ipswich take the lead... they are down to ten!
Everton finally break the deadlock at Goodison
Swansea take the lead at Turf Moor
Oh, okay. I'd have Giggs in there rather than Rooney. Also, didn't Van Horsey have a better strike rate than Roon?
Osman makes it 1-0 Everton!!!
SHOOT THE BLOODY BALL!!!
Swansea have taken the lead at Turf Moor. That'll lift them back over Reading into fourth.
Finally... you commented!
Rooney shouldn't be there
How about Cantona!!!
Preston 1 Shef Utd 0
Lovely PNE are 1-0 up against the Blades. They're well and truly down.
It is official..... LEEDS TIME!!!
GET YOUR FINGERS OUT!!
Everton only a point behind LiverSox
Hard to stick Cantona in if you're going to stick with the typical XI set-up. Would you have Cantona ahead of Charlton? Didn't think so!
All Villa at Upton Park
Second half Hammers are hopeless
According to the text, we're in charge in the second half at Elland Road. Time to take advantage. Should be some changes coming up soon.
I would have in before Rooney... he and Hughes worked well up top together then with Cole
I'd probably also have Rio ahead of Pallister.
Scunny two up at Selhurst as the reporter was talking!
So, no Giggs in your top XI?
I agree... Edwards was apparently great but should he be there too
Burnley have leveled it at Turf Moor, so Swansea are back down to 5th.
It wasn't my top 11
I would have Giggs in there somewhere!
For Bell
Edwards is the one that few of us can judge because we never saw him. Similar to those Brazil XI sides with Garrincha in them.
But then you'd have two wide left players. It's really Giggs v. Best. I reckon you'd have Bestie.
Blackpool going all in, making a triple change. What a devestating loss at home this would be.
Way hay - Becchio's on for Neil Kilkenny. Grayson's going for it!
They have scored in 39 games... they better get one soon today
1621: FA CUP TEAM NEWS SNAP
Mario Balotelli starts up front for Man City in Carlos Tevez's absence in what looks to be a 4-2-3-1 formation, while Dimitar Berbatov gets the nod as Wayne Rooney's replacement for Man Utd - no room in the XI for Ryan Giggs, though.
Oh dear - Wigan are 0-3 up. I feel really bad for Blackpool.
Wigan are three up!!
Brum are two up!
Is Brucie in danger?
Birmingham are 2-0 up now.
Bradley Johnson has gone in the book. I'd have him off for Bannan.
Coleman in for Gueye, and he fires wide on his first touch.
Is this the end for the Tangerines?
Reading are 3-0 up!
I fear it is. We all predicted Blackpool going down but we didn't predict that they'd be this entertaining. What a shame.
Blackburn will only be two points outside the drop zone!
Elland Road is the only match scoreless in the top two divisions
Preston are two up
PNE are 2-0 up. The Blades are dead and buried.
Who is their manager after Speed went to Wales?
Come on Baggies... make this interesting!
Bloody hell... stop it with the racing!!!
I guess I could understand if it was the National, The Derby
Carlos Vela coming on for the Baggies. I had no idea he was there.
Penalty to Everton!
Penalty to the Toffees!
Let JB take it!
1629: FA CUP SEMI-FINAL TEAMS
Man City: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Lescott, Kolarov, De Jong, Barry, A Johnson, Yaya Toure, Silva, Balotelli
Man Utd: Van der Sar, O'Shea, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Park, Scholes, Carrick, Valencia, Berbatov, Nani.
Ryan Giggs not even on the bench for Man Utd. Hhmm...
The Blades have pegged PNE back to 2-1.
Sheff Utd get a goal back
Baines slots home Everton's second. Well done the Toffees!
A strong line up for United
Palace gets a goal back
Interesting. Looks like both sides are only playing one up front. Could be a boring one.
Scunny are 2-1 up now.
Baines converts the penalty and it's 2-0 Everton!
Bannan on now for Somma.
YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!
Becchio with his 20th!
1-0 Whites!
Right now, I'm really pleased with the scores at this point. Blow up, refs!
I took Shadow out for a couple of seconds and Leeds score!
It hasn't updated on the BBC
Turn it over you idiot!!!
Hope it is a short race!
He must have money on the race!
Only Milwall have better GD now among our playoff rivals.
I'm just muted the volume and turned up the FSC volume. Sorted.
