And we're off from the SOL.
Celtic lead 0-4 at Killie at halftime and are 45 minutes away form clinching the SPL title.
It's been all Spurs at the beginning and Assiou - Ekotu is inches wide with a well stuck left footed long range effort.
The other early kickoff is that all Yorkshire League One promotion battle between Huddersfield and Sheffield Wednesday.
The first Sunderland attack and it's a horrible shot from Craig Gardener.
Great skill by Assiou-Ekotu as he was under pressure just outside his own box and dummied Big Nik twice. A shame about the clearance that followed.
The South Coast Derby between Sotton and Pompey kicks off in about five minutes.
A decent save by Mignolet from Modric after a great Spurs build up.
Ian says that Spurs have gone six away matches without a win . I was not aware of that.
Now McLean fouls Kyle walker near the corner flag.
A great free kick from Bale and Ade seemed surprised as it glanced off of him and was blocked.
McLean has a shot blocked by Gallas for a corner as the South Coast Derby has just kicked off.
Brad fum,bled the corner twice , but caught it at the third attempt.
Sandro wins a Spurs corner.
Useless corner from VDV unless he was looking for one of those giants from Gulliver's travels.
A great overlapping run form Bardsley and his cross is deflected wide by Sessignon.
What's this talk about players eating chocolate???
A curling free kick from VDV is headed away.
McLean is fouled by Kyle walker after some trickery.
The free kick is headed out for a corner.The corner is headed on to the top of the net for another.
I agree with Ian and Steve that McLean should be in Ireland's Squad for the Euros.
Mignolet punches away a corner from VDV, But spurs still have possession.
I winder if the Oxford vs Cambridge University boat race will be covered by the Nocito Sports Center!
A poor back pass by Colback, but fortunately Migolet is out to clear.
Wreckless by Cattermole on Sandro.What was he thinking?Look who we're talking about!How was he not booked?
It's 0-0 at halftime between Huddersfield and big club Wednesday.
Kilgallon shoots and Nik deflects it off of Kaboul for a corner.
Craig Gardener heads harmlessly to Brad from the corner
Back from the loo and Arsenal old boys Larsson and Big Nik combine from the corner that Big Nik heads over.
And of course no goals .
Great block by Craig Gardener from VDV after poor Sunderland defending.
Sotton have just taken the lead vs Pompey.
Billy Sharp scored the Sotton goal.
One minute of stoppage from the SOL.
Halftime and 0-0 from the SOL after some stoppage time pressure from Spurs.
LOVELY JUBBLY. POMPEY HAVE TIED IT UP AT SOTTON THANKS TO A GOAL FROM CHRIS MAGUIRE.
The Owls have taken the lead at Huddersfield.
Celtic now lead 0-5 at Killie with about a minute plus stoppage time remaining.The second half kicks off from the Sol.
Joe Ledley scored the Celtic goal.
BLOODY NORAH!!! THIS IS GETTING FARCICAL AS CELTIC MAKE IT 0-6. They really want to clinch the title in style.
CONGRATULATIONS CELTIC!!!
They win 0-6 at Killie and have clinched the SPL title as that was Hooper's second of the match and 18th league goal of the season. Should psycho give him a chance in the England squad?
It's 1-1 at halftime from St. Mary's.
It's all Spurs until that crunching tackle from McLean.
Hey David,
I am not going to be able to join you today. I am out and about all day. If I have a chance, I will join you... sorry you have to go solo
TTFN
A great run down the right and great trickery from Bale, but a poor back heel from Modric made it difficult for VDV who shot over.
No problem , UWS.I hope you can join me tomorrow.I will be leaving in a few minutes too, but will be back later.
Sheffield Wednesday now lead 0-2 at Huddersfield. Are they really better off without Lee Clark?
Becks has been left home by Bruce Arena so he can rest his back. Did he have a late night out? Does Victoria know about this?
End to end stuff as a great header from Bale lands on the top of the net then Kyle Walker cuts out a dangerous cross for a corner.
Useless corner from Larsson. I see that he has been reading Gulliver's travels too.
Sandro is booked for a nasty foul on McLean . Why wasn't Cattermole booked for the same in the first half?
Aaron Lennon is on for Sandro as that is one for the LUFC Academy factor
I am off and will be back midway through the first half of the 10 AM fixtures.
Back for a few minutes... pretty dour at the SoL
Sotton and Pompey all square
Celtic squeak past Killie SIX NIL and are Champs
I join as MUR leaves... things are falling apart on LOB without our COMMISH!
I hope United have the title won before their visit the SoL on the last day of the season
Just make it simple tomorrow please!
United to coast it tomorrow... none of this Fulham, Blackburn stuff!
Hope the Arse wallops Citeh in front of the Dahlgren boys
That's it
Game over
Neither team had any urgency to go out and win the game near the end.. WHY?
Sunderland had nothing to lose. One point is much different that none.
As for Spurs, a draw was not good enough. They are now they are a point ahead of Arsenal but only 3 ahead of Newcastle and could be the same with Chelsea.... Spurs could be out of Europe completely!
Big Club Sheff Wed. won two nil at Huddersfield... big win!
Spurs have the easier run in than the other three but if they play this way.. it won't matter
Here's the run in
Spurs
Norwich H
QPR A
Blackburn H
Bolton A
Villa A
Fulham H'
Arsenal
Citeh H
Wolves A
Wigan H
Chelsea H
Stoke A
Norwich H
WBA A
Newcastle
Bolton H
Stoke H
Wigan A
Chelsea A
Citeh H
Everton A
Chelsea
Wigan H
Fulham A
Arsenal A
QPR H
Newcastle H
Liverpool A
Blackburn H
Just saw Le Tis slump as I came back down and then cheer!
Apparently, he cheered because Sotton scored but then slumped because it was called back for offside but then given... late winner for Sotton?
Pompey dooomed?
Off for walkies
I come back from walkies to see Pompey tied it up in injury time
GOALSouthampton 2-2 Portsmouth - David Norris (90 mins)
What a goal! What a hit! David Norris sparks some massive celebrations in the away end deep into stoppage time, he watches a dropping ball right on to his left foot and from 22 yards, bullets a volley into the corner. A brilliant goal
Matt has the Pool Villa match on Plus
Pool go close
Villa are dominating though
A Villa win today, they will be safe but if they lose... oh boy
WBA take the lead at home against Rovers
VIlla have taken the lead at the Kop end!
Nice finish.. maybe Pool are going down
I thought Rovers were almost safe but after everyone else winning and them losing to United and now West Brom.. oh dear
Love to see Wigan win today
Cardiff are ahead at Boro
This win would be HUGE for Villa
Sotton's point does put them back on top
A draw was not really good enough for Pompey
They are five points from safety
Liverpool are in NINTH at this minute
Still here for a while.. plans changed a little
Cardiff two up against Boro
Yesterday, Leeds were just dirty against Reading.. not good enough
Goal at Carrow Road... for Everton
Everton could have scored again.. off the post and a sitter missed by Cahill
Brum 1 Palace 0
Not much happening at the Bridge
Like to see Chelsea drop some points today
Dempsey gets the ball in the net but well offside at the Reebok
Brum are two up... two goals in a minute
Coventry tie it up against P'Boro
Millwall take the lead at home against Hull
Wigan still holding their own at the Bridge.. they play United next on Wednesday
What 'big' manager and players will come to the Bridge if there is no Champions League football next season... maybe not even Europe!
Dempsey scores again.. this time it counts
30 yard crack from a free kick
Off for a bit.. I'll be back
I am back as UWS leaves and see that I missed very little.It finished 0-0 at the SOL and it is 0-0 at Stamford Bridge.
Useless wigan free kick, but they are probably playing for 0-0.
I will go to the Soccer Saturday link
Have Liverpool vs Villa on sky Sports News and the Villans lead at Anfield. They win and they are about one win till they are safe.
Into stoppage time at Stamford Bridge.
Great save by Al Habsi from a Drogba header as Wigan clear the corner . It's halftime and 0-0 from Stamford Bridge.
Liverpool should have tied it up as Stevie G drove it across the six yard box and Kuyyt shot over from two yards.
Into stoppage time at Anfield as Suarez shot right at Given.
Clint has scored his second of the match as Fulham go 0-2 up at the Reebok and Villa have a 0-1 halftime lead at Anfield
Newcastle must be pleased at the 0-0 scores with Chelsea and Spurs while it is great news for Villa as they lead at Anfield while Bolton and Blackburn trail.
The second half is underway from Stamford Bridge.
And we're off from Anfield.
COME ON YOU VILLAINS!
Skrtel was down, holding his head after a bump by Gabby, but seems to be okay.
I am back and I see that Dempsey scores his second before half.
Norwich tied it up late against Everton before half
Brian Little says Liverpool have dominated , but are behind and that they have been doing this lately. Brian is 100% correct , but how the bloody hell is he supposed to be imaprtial?
welcome back, UWS. we are finally together after crossing paths.
Hey MUR
Welcome back
Looks like I will be around for the duration for the 10 o'clockers
Off shopping for Matt's 16ht birthday on Monday
I could not find a Gilette soccer link.
http://www.firstrowsports.eu/watch/117422/1/watch-soccer-saturday.html
Happy Birthday to Matt ! You can buy him an I hate Warnock tee shirt.
Cheers UWS.
I keep changing channels between FSC and Plus(i still have the HD)
Liverpool's match is on
I don't want to jinx it but United usually do well against Wigan but they are playing well right now
Leicester two up against Donny
Sounds like a good plan
Sheff Utd are now two up against Bournemouth. They will go back above Wednesday
I think the missus and I had our first date on April 9th many years ago.
Both Steel City teams could catch Charlton.
Right now, they are four and six points behind with Charlton drawing right now.... nope.. they are now winning
A good date!
Why is Stoke vs wolves the late match. A bloody useless match as is Forest vs Bristol city.
Kuyt shoots widely... he missed a sitter inside the six yard box at the end of the first half too
Torres is coming on replacing Malouda
I agree, but the missus begs to differ at times about that one. Just kidding!
Wish it was United's match!
They could have changed it after United were knocked out of the Europa League
Good question
Danny Hussain on Twitter: "If Chelsea can't score against Wigan in 45 minutes how on earth will they cope against a team like Barcelona?"
walsall vs Chetserfield, a League One relegation battle, sounds like a better match than the EPL matches.
Another goal in East Anglia.. to the Merseysiders
BUGGER !!! Jelavic puts Everton 1-2 up at Carrow Road with his second of the match. Doesn't sound controversial. They should have tackled Pienaar.
Cheslea take the lead!!
Ivanovic with the goal.. bugger
GOAL !!! 1-0 CHELSEA AS IVANOVIC ScoRES.
The whole team is at the linesman and ref... all of them!
Still a goall... WELL OFFSIDE
Now wigan players surround the ref.
Offside by a MILE!!
How can the linesman miss that!!!
STUNNING!!
I need to replay it , but it may have been offside.
off the line by Ivanovic!!
Now Ivanovic clears off the line from Di Santo.
THere is no excuse for the linesman to miss that one.. there were FOUR players offside
It's great to have Jeff on board . It wasn't the same without him yesterday.
Actually, just Ivanovic was offside.. the others were close
I agree. No wonder why EPL officials are considered to be such a bloody joke.
Carroll coming on for Liverpool
I didn't post a picture yesterday because Reading scored just as I got on the computer and I didn't want to miss any of the action.
Very lazy of you MUR
I agree. United vs Evil QPR would have been a great late match.
I agree, but I would have missed the opening goal and more of the action if I had done so. I bet Bob was celebrating.
Former Sunderland boss Steve Bruce at Stamford Bridge:
"It's an easy, easy decision for the linesman with no one standing in his way and this will be a huge frustration for Wigan. The more you see it, it is an awful decision. When Roberto Martinez sees it again, he will be disgusted with that.
I agree with you about Chelsea. I saw them vs Benfica and can tell that they won't beat Barca, but a great CL run.
Stupid slip by Torres.
John Ruddy will want to do well as he only made one first team appearance for the Toffees.
Diame is on for James MAcArthur
I have the match at Anfield as my main match right now!
I love how I can say MAIN match
WBA double their lead against Blackburn
west Brom go 2-0 up vs Blackburn thanks to a goal by Chris Brunt.
I am sorry it was Fortune.
Shef Utd concede a goal against Bournemouth.. come on you Cherries!
Bournemouth score at Bramall Lane , but still trail the small club 2-1.
Mikkel is on for Essien.
This could be a good day for Villa
A win and Bolton, Blackburn and Wigan all losing.. hopefully QPR too
Fleetwood take the lead at York City. If they beat wrexham on Tuesday then they will have clinched promotion to the Football League.
Norwich tie it up!!
It is Desomond at Carrow Road
Holt again
It's Desmond at Carrow Road as Grant Holt score for the Canaries.It's 2-2 as Leeds old boy Johnny Howson scored the first Norwich goal.
I agree UWS. I never thought Villa were in trouble. If they win at Anfield they are basically one win from safety
Under 15 minutes to go around the country
Useless effort from Sturridge.
Should Gary Hooper of Celtic get a chance for England. He has scored 18 league goals this season and 25 last season for the hoops. What is there to lose as he can't be any worse than Sturridge or Dafoe?
Connor Salmon is on for Di Santo.
Connor Salmon is on for Di Santo.
After United's game at Wigan, United play Villa on Sunday morning again.. why couldn't they have changed it to Saturday... not one Saturday match after the West Brom win on March 10
Yeovil leads Rochdale 3-0 and it is looking bleak for Dale.
If they win, Chelsea are still right in the CL fight... Spurs blew in this morning for being too cautious
P Boro tie it up at the Ricoh
Posh tie it up at Coventry. Pompey desperately need a Posh win.It is 2-2.
COME ON YOU POSH!
Come on WIGAN
YES!!!!!!!!!
WIGAN TIE IT UP!!!
GREAT SHOT
Millwall lead Hull City 2-0 and seem to be pretty much safe.
Don't get any ideas for Tuesday Wigan
Cech didn't move!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
DIAME TIES IT UP AT THE BRIDGE . IT IS 1-1.A BRILLIANT SHOT FROM JUST OUTSIDE THE BOX.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
DIAME TIES IT UP AT THE BRIDGE . IT IS 1-1.A BRILLIANT SHOT FROM JUST OUTSIDE THE BOX.
Kalou still replaces Sturridge.. why? Chelsea need a goal... almost in again! COME ON WIGAN
Risse has put Fulham 0-3 up at the Reebok thanks to an assist from two goal Clint.
Liverpool scored!
BUGGER
Bob's Plastic Boot taps it in
Charlton are down to nine men but still winning
I see that. I had to answer the front door and missed that update.
Oliver Rhodes on Twitter: "Is Grant Holt a dark horse for England selection or has there not been enough media coverage for consideration?"
How can that be? Chris Powell's lads are really resiliant.
What about Gary Hooper of Celtic?
All Bournemouth at Bramall Lane
Roberto will be furious as Wigan should be winning.
WBA three up against Blackburn
That goal will hurt Villa who looked to be set for safety. west Brom lead 3-0 thanks to a header from Liam Ridgewell.
Cech had to come out of his box to clear to halt. another Wigan attack.
Roberto lets the fourth official have it and rightly so.
What a run of matches Wigan is in the midst of
Liverpool (a) won
Chelsea (a) ?
United (h)
Arsenal (a)
Into stoppage tine at Stamford Bridge.
Carroll misses a chance from six yards out.. straight at the keeper
Andy Carroll missed a sitter.
4 added minutes at the Bridge.. the Toon fans are nervous right now
Paul Hart's Alloa have clinched promotion from the Scottish Second Division.
Spurs fans too.
Wigan was almost in there.. bugger
Four points would be a creditable return from that run of matches for Wigan. More than they would have expected.
BLOODY HELL
CHELSEA SCORE
GREAT VOLLEY BY TORRES OFF THE POST AND THE REBOUND NETTED
BUGGER !!!! TORRES HAD A VOLLEY COME OFF THE POST AND MATA SCORED FROM A FOOT OUT. CHLESEA HAVE WON IT.
One end to another and Chelsea score
"torres' shot hits the beans on toast"
one minute remaining.
Norwich and Everton have ended Desmond
