I Get to Chat on Jacquelyn's Birthday
There are seven EPL matches today, three that kick off at 2:45 and four that kick off at 3:00. My eye will be at Craven Cottage as Fulham host Manchester United. The match is on FSC as United play in West London for the second time in four days. I will be available after I had stated doubt about that yesterday. Join us as the midweek holiday period fixtures continue as it is my daughter's eleventh birthday.

Happy, happy, happy birthday to Jacquelyn!
I wish I could remember 11 more vividly. All I've got of 1975 are selective snippets of Feltwell Elemetary and Ms. Judy Benvenuti (who, as I remember JDLC remarking, had a "rooty tooty booty"), riding my bike around the neighborhood of Portal Close and the criminal refereeing decisions that robbed LUFC of a European Cup victory against Bayern.
Thanks for the post, MUR - I'm here to enjoy your company during the Fulham v. United match, which starts on FSC at 3pm. The preview show is about to begin. I'm expecting a friend to drop by for the second half, so I may be a bit spotty with my comments then.
Breaking news today that John Terry has been charged with racist remarks against QPR's Anton Ferdinand. Terry is claiming innocence and will plead his case against the magistrates.
Good afternoon,BD. Glad to join you from my in-laws on Jacquelyn's birthday. My mwmories of being eleevn are mvoing to England which changed my life as I was introduced to footie.
Fsc is stating what you just typed.They are discussing Suarez too. I am really disappointed in Suarez and JT. I am extremely disappointed in Gus Poyet despite his Leeds connection for condoning Suarez's behavior. I expected better from Gus.
Villa vs Arsenal, Citeh vs Sotke , and Newcastle vs West Brom are about to kick off and just did so.
It's looks as if Steve Kean is still the Blackburn manager at the moment. He must be a cat, because he's got nine lives in that job.
Afternoon, MUR! I may well dial up another match too.
That sounds like a plan. The weather Gods don't like me as it is overcast and cool today. The only sunny day was Bloody Monday of all days and it is supposed to be overcast EVERY day the next seven days, including rain on Saturday.
I've got this link up for Citeh v. Stoke:
http://www.firstrowsports.tv/watch/99132/2/watch-manchester-city-vs-stoke-city.html
Thanks BD. I A repeat of the FA Cup final , a Manc theme , and a Europa League theme today.
I ma not sure why, but the link is taking a while to load.
The match kicks off from Craven Cottage.
COME ON UNITED!
gOT IT AS i AM WATCHING BOTH mANC CLUBS.
Clint elbowed Phil Jones in the jaw and that may be the end of the match for him! Not good news.
Phil Jones has got a problem right off the bat. That doesn't look good. Several subs off the bench warming up.
I am here just as the match at Craven Cottage gets underway.. my computer took forever to get running
Dempsey elbows Jones... I hope he is okay!
Jones is up, but has a painful jaw . He looks like he will continue.
Happy Birthday Jacquelyn
Good afternoon,UWS. Great to have you on board today
YES!!!!!!!!!!
WELBECK!!!
Nice cross by Nani!!
GOAL! Very, very easy for United!
Welbeck latching onto my boy Nani's boy over. 1-0!
YESSSSSSSSS!!!!
0-1 UNITED AS WELBECK SCORED WITH A GREAT FINISH AFTER A GREAT CROSS FROM THE LEFT.
Great timing, UWS! Welcome!
Is there a Soccer Special Link
UWS full of praise for Nani for a change. Thank you very much.
Thank you,UWS.
Still 0-0 at Eastlands , so we trail Citeh on goal difference.
Arsenal have also taken an early lead and it's that man RVP again with a penalty. His 16th of the season.
It was a great run and cross by Nani
Again, an early goal for United. A goal within a minute on Sunday and here too! There was a stoppage for Jones so it must have been within a minute of actual play
ALMOST IN AGAIN!
A great run and cross buy Unityed, but the connection was not there
That was an unnecessary shhot by Nani. Really ambitious!
United should be called the West end Boys as they seem to like playing in West London.
Yes - you only need 11 more goals against Fulham today to top the table. Get cracking!
Arsenal have taken the lead with a pen... RVP of course
WBA take the lead at SJP... Odemwingie
COME ON YOU POTTERS!That would put us on top.
You can't score eleven unless you score the first!!
Lots of Citeh possession, but no ayttempys on goal. Well done Potters!
Fulham look really hopeless today - what's up with them?
I thought there games in all divisions tonight but alas
I hope in continues
David Stockdale, the England hopeful and Leeds born keeper is in goal for Fulham today.
Wakey, wakey Rip van Winkle. I posted that RVP goal five minutes ago.
I second that,UWS.
Remember.. I only just arrived
Yeah - I'm not quite sure why the Football League didn't take the opportunity to squeeze a round of fixtures in today.
STRUTH! cITEH take the lead . They score a similar goal to the one vs Arsenal on Sunday. This time Aguero finished from a yard out after being set up by Yaya and Silva and the keepr made a save from what looked like Kompany.
GOAL! Citeh take the lead and of course it was David Silva was the heart of the move passing through to Kompany, who was just level. Aguero with the final touch.
Come on Man U
Come on Man U
Come on Man U
Bugger!
Wow - great tackle from Jones there.
Great tackle by Jones... knock it off Fulham
Now it's just a matter of us getting the three points and hopefully chipping into Citeh's goal difference. Superb tackle by Jones on Ruiz.
But that may well be the end of Jones' day. He looks a bit wonky.
I hope Jones will be okay.
Jones has had to come off!
He has been playing well since the knock
That was a pathetic dive by Rooney.
Smalling heads away against his foimer team and United break through the speedy Welbeck.
Interesting - it's Ashley Young on for United in place of Jones. As the color guy mentions, you're playing four wingers now - Nani, Giggs, Valencia and now Young. Five if you count Welbeck.
BUUGGER! Jones is off and replaced by Bloody Young.
Good news from the Northeast
Newcastle tie it up ... Demba Ba
Sunderland take the lead at QPR.. Bendtner
I guess SAF feels Fulham's weakness is at right and left back.
Is there a reason Rio isn't playing?
BUGGER! 2-0 CITEH AS ADAM JOHNSON SCORES FROM LONG RANGE THANKS TO LAZY STOKE DFENDING.
Beeb said he has a knock
Bloody useless Potters!
Citeh have outshot Stoke 7-0!
Bugger
2-0 Citeh now. They're running riot over Stoke City. That was a magnificent goal. Poznan time for the Citeh fans.
Decent save by Stockdale from Welbeck.
But a really sloppy Stoke clearance.
Nani should have crossed there
Nani nearly caught out Stockdale at the near post.
Shoot with your right RYAN!!
Scrambled but cleared!
WE NEED TO SCORE AGAIN!!!
Scrambly time in the Fulham box now. Who have been worse - Stoke or Fulham?
Pimg pong in the Fulham box then they clear.
Stoke.. they're two down!
Stoke have been far worse.
Short corner cleared for another one
A bllody short corner results in another corner.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!
A SHORT CORNER WORKS!!!
Nani with a header!
YES 2-0 UNITED! ROON!
nO IT WAS A HEADER FROM gIGGS. WHO said the short corners don't work?
I want another!!!
Nani was the scorer
I think Giggs scored with a header ,s o he keeps up his streak of scoring every EPL season.
OOPS! It was Nani. Well in ,UWS! I believe a header from Nani is a collector's item
Giggs crossed it.. didn't he?
West Brom have retaken the lead at Newcastle
I bet Fulhjam wish they still had Smalling. They never gave him a chance.
Citeh are strolling about now just waiting out the waning moments of the first half.
Twom minutes of stoppage time at Eastlands.
That could have been a penalty there!!
That should have been a penalty as Welbeck was pushed in the box.
I tihnk Giggs did provide the cross.
That Nani collector's piece now makes is Nani 6 Ashley 2 in our little side bet. Ready to give up, gentlemen?
Citeh have 2-0 halftime lead vs Stoke.
The way Young is playing.. yes... BUT... I am going to keep on Ash's side... COME ON YOUNG!!
Citeh finish the half at 2-0 up. Game over for sure.
I conceded two weeks ago.Hangelaand heads away for a UNited corner.
Goals everywhere except for games including Merseyside sides
The short corner did not work thid time as the cross was miles over.
Keep it tight at the back and score another and I will be happy!
Aston Villa 0-1 Arsenal
David Ornstein's HT snapshot: "An opening 45 minutes completely dominated by Villa ends with Arsenal taking a lead into the break. It's a funny old game. Plenty of chances for the hosts but this is why they've failed to score in four of their past five games. No cutting edge. Unlike Arsenal and that man Robin van Persie."
Man City 2-0 Stoke
Alistair Magowan's HT snapshot: "To say Manchester City are on top is an understatement. Stoke have barely broken out of their own half for the last 30 minutes."
United are playing with pace again... that is their secret!
Another dangerous move down the right through Valencia is cleared out. You lot look much more dangerous with Valencia on the pitch.
Desperaye Fulham dfending as they struggle to deal with two Nani crosses. Stockdale dropped one of them
Fulham are rubbish! Schoolboy defending.
Let it continue for another 50 minutes!!!
That is correct,UWS. Pace is the key for United and the twiitter report was accurate about Citeh and Stoke. Don't know abut Villa vs Arsenal.
I second that!
Ahsley Youndg has a shot come off of Senderos for a corner.
David Stockdale is England's thrid choice keeper, but based on what I have seen I would pick Ruddy over him any day.
0-3 United! Game over!
nice challenge Valencia
UNITED GO DOWN AND RYAN GIGGS SCORES!!!!!!!
21 straight seasons!!!
YES 0-3 UNITED AS GIGGS HAS A SHOT DEFLECTED FOR A GOAL AND KEEPS ALIVE HIS STREAK OF SCORING IN EVERY EPL SEASON.
I'd have either of the LUFC academy goalkeeper - Robbo and Scotty Carson - over Stockdale. He's well down my list.
i HOPE IT'S NOT CREDITED AS A SNEDEROS og BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE REALLY UNFAIR.
I WANT MORE!!!
Has to be a Giggs goal
I still think Ruddy tops all those keepers on current form.
Don't let up United!
I agree . It must be a Giggs goal.Three minutes of stoppage time.
3 added minutes... Jones was down longer than that plus there has been three goals
Jonny Evans is lectured for a foul on Dembele after Dembele comitted a nasty one on him earlier.
I'd mark it down as an o.g. Even Stockdale would have saved the initial Giggs effort until it was deflected over his head.
It should be about four or five of stoppage time.
Young wins a corner after a great tackle on Ruiz and United have a 0-3 halftime lead.The Fulham fans boo their team's effort .
The second half kicks off from Eastlands.
I still think Giggs should be credited as the initial effort was on target. That is usually the criteria for determining who scored. I think the dubious goals panel will see it that way.
Citeh strolling it around with great ease and Stoike acting like they're out for a family picnic.
WAKE UP YOU POTTERS!
I might swith over to Villa vs Arsenal.
I agree about Giggs
Clint should have been sent off for that elbow on Phil Jones. I hope he gets a three match suspension!
Next goal is goal #20,000th in the Premier League
UNITED ARE AT HALF TIME!!
I guess it will be Citeh to get it!
United had 68% of the first halof possession. Total dominanace.
Should be Citeh, Arsenal, Toon , or West Brom.
Come on.. hold out all defenders until United get back on the field... wouldn't it have been perfect for Giggs to score it!!
The 20,000 goal has been scored by VILLA
Albrighton
Great skill by Aguero to get past two Stoke players, but his shot is easily saved by Sorensen.
A comment earlier
2052: Well this is all shaping up very nicely. In the office sweepstake I need Villa to get the next goal. Ie. the 20,000th. I shall maintain my impartiality, though. You won't even see my air punch if it happens.
He got his wish
Iknew I should have switched to that match. I missed it.
Who scored the first Prem goal? For who? Against who?
BUGGER ! CITEH MAKE IT 3-0 AS AGUERO SCORES HIS SEWCOND AS HE WAS SET UP BY SILVA AFTER STOKE GAVE THE BALLL AWAY JUST OUTSIDE THEIR BOX.
I think it was Teddy Sheringham for Forest vs Liverpool.Is that correct?
From the Beeb
Aston Villa goal: A long goal kick forward from Brad Guzan sees Thomas Vermaelen try to pass to Per Mertesacker but Marc Albrighton nips in and goes through to finish low. It's the 20,000th Premier League goal, but more importantly it has won me £14 English pounds. You boy, is that the turkey in the shop as big as you still there? Fetch it for me and you shall have half-a-crown.
Aguero had a shot saved by Sorensen.
How have Villa dominated Arsenal? They were crap against United and LSox
Congratulations,UWS! I will do so.
I agree. Perhaps Villa are rallying around the Bent incident and are United in their anger towards him. That may have motivated them.
I wish it was me!!!
It was the bloke doing the text for the Beeb!!!
Away we go for the second half... come on United!
Has Bob being bothered by bloody students!!!
Aguero should have scored as he had just the keeper to beat, but shot weel wide. The seocond half kicks off from Craven Cottaje as Savic is on for Richards.
Injured Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley on Twitter: "Great half from the boys there! Not happy with the Dempsey challenge on Phil Jones."
He shouldn't I think his last day of class was last Thursday
Knock it off Fulham
I agree with Cleverley. Dempsey should have had an early bath.Very poor and nasty from him.
I think he could be in trouble with video evidence
Great tackle by Evra.
Don't let them back in fellas
He should and will probable get a three match ban.
Poor cross by Young... COME ON
Nani wins a corner off of JA Risse.
Giggs almost in there... these short corners appear to be dangerous today
Nasty by Etuhu on Ashley Young. Never a foul by Giggs. Just a good crisp tackle.
The O'Neil affect at work
Two nil to Sunderland
Penalty to LSox!
Young started his season well until he hurt his toe
PENALTY SAVED!!!!!!
Just a reminder that there is a London Derby tomorrow between Spurs and Chelsea on the deuce at 3 PM.
WELL DONE MARTIN!
Yup
security guards are going to be wearing cameras. They don't want racist stuff toward Terry
Charlie Adam had is spotkick saved
bALO FOULS aNDREW jOHNSON JUST OUTSIDE THE BOX
Dempsey has a free header.. saved
COME ON UNITED!!
Well savbed by Linde from a Fulham header then Dembele shoots just wide.
Looks like Young won't continue. He is hobbling
If Cap has any common sense and I'm not sure he does then he will never pick Terry for England again. The same for his successor.
He is coming off for Park
Park is on for Young.
I agree.
He should also be banned the same as Suarez
United haven't done much this half... i wish they played the same way as the first!
Clint had a shot saved by Lindegaard.
What was Giggs thinking there!!!!!
Dempsey... stop wanting yellows.... you should have had a red!
Helguson has scored for QPR 1-2 to Sunderland
Come on United... play like the first half!
I don't want to have any Fulham players suspended for their next match.. they play Chelsea on Boxing Day
Everton take the lead against Swansea.. Leon Osman
Only scoreless game is at the DW
Roon has been pretty disappointing again tonight
Sorry,UWS. I was ahving some technical difficulties, but I am now back.Etuhu should have been booked. too.
oooh, Valencia is almost in off a Nani cross
You've been better than BD
I have the match on at Villa Park. Still 1-1.
QPR have come back... it's Desmond at Loftus Road... Martin won't be pleased
Thanks,UWS. He might be taking a nap.
I agree.
COME ON YOU BLACK CATS!
Rooney should have shot earlier.. he tries to be too cute these days
Roon has a shot deflected for a corner.
It is Desmond at StJP as well
BA scores again
SHOOT WAYNE!!!
