What are you guys going to watch?
My iPad ESPN3 link is slightly behind the TV. If you're watching the TV, you'll know before me
The FSC coverage has started.
United are on FX no FSC
I'm watching Sunderland v. United on FX because I think that's where the trophy is going to be lifted. GSS on the laptop - keeping it simple.
STRUTH!!!
I hope you're right!!
You weren't last week!!
Wonder if they have two trophies?
Interesting - I've just noticed that MSG+ has the WBA v. Arsenal match.
What is FSC showing?
Citeh v. QPR is also on the Deuce mate.
FSC has Spurs v. Fulham
Good morning lads as we end the season on Mother's Day. A fantastic graphic, but it will actually be the fourth time that the title could be decided on goal difference. Pompey defeated Wolves on goal difference in 1950 and in 1989 Arsenal and Liverpool were level on points and goal difference, so for the only time in English football history , the title was decided on goals scored.
Bolton or QPR - your prediction?
Morning, MUR - great to have you on board this Mother's Day.
I have a houseful of people getting breakfast ready... it's far too noisy!
I hope Bolton win so QPR HAVE TO GET SOMETHING
I read the 65 season was the only time!
Morning MUR
Lazy sod - get in the kitchen and make brekkies for the missus.
Is anyone going to be watching ESPN?
Again, my iPad link is just behind the TV so you would know things before me
Thanks, BD. it is quiet here as I am the only one awake. I appreciate the channel listing. As a result I am watching the match on FX to show my true support for United even though I think the title race is over.
The brothers are cooking
I am sorry UWS, but f you got to wikkipedia and go to English football seasons, you will see the that Pompey pipped Wolves on goal difference in 1950 and Arsenal won ahead of Pool on goals scored in 1989 in that famous win at Anfield.
If QPR do survive, when was the last time all three promoted teams stayed up
I do want a Bolton win too. Otherwise, Evil QPR can survive in evil fashion by tanking the match at the Etihad.
Why would anyone watch ESPN? They've got nowt!
Good trivia question, UWS - I haven't a Scooby.
I know that Bolton, Blackburn , and Fulham survived as newly promoted teams in 2002 and have done so up to this point.
Only minutes to go now - are you two nervous?
What are your thoughts about United's side... I'm not liking it!
They showed the 8-2 yesterday on FSC... United looked brilliant... the thing missing now... PACE!!
I have a trivia question. When the was the only season that all three newly promoted teams were relegated? A hint is that it occurred during the EPL era.
Just looked it up
2001–02 when Fulham, Blackburn and Bolton survived after being promoted the season before.
I am no that nervous because I believe Citeh have all, but won the title.
I answered it at 9:52 .
90 minutes of football to play, mate.
I agree
Missed it...sorry
Teams coming out now at the Stadium of Light and Eastlands.
Teams coming out around the town... FSC still in the studio!
I may try to flip around to see the goals.
FX going to a commercial at 9:58 - silly sods!
We're back and it's kick-off time at the Stadium of Light - come on, United!
HERE WE GO!!
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
And we're off from the SOL.
It's an omen... commentator at Sol
John CHAMPION
Does anyone know the answer to the trivia question posted at 9:54
Is that a good omen?
I hope Jon is a good luck charm
Big Phil announces an early goal - but where?
It's Adebayor with an early, early goal for Spurs at Shite Fart. Not good for Arsenal.
Lots of ex United players playing for Sunderland. A very high MUFC Academy factor today and they better show their appreciation by letting us win by ten!
I really don't like Evra anymore... I think he has forgotten how to kick
SPURS HAVE SCORED!!
Adebayor
Now it's Arsenal with a goal through Yossi Benayoun - they're straight back into third spot after dropping momentarily.
Come on United.... attack
Sounds as if it was a howler from the Baggies keeper there.
Arsenal have scored... Benayoun
My Gilette buggered and the speakers aren't working.
All Citeh so far according to Merse. Oh dear - come on Rangers!
United are playing pedestrian!!
Are you talking about the second choice England keeper?
FSC show the goal at WHL... nice goal
Too easy for Ade.
Nice - a bit of split screen action with the Ade goal on FX. I'm liking this a lot.
Useless United passing as they are on their Sunday stroll at the SOL.
Hopeless by United
Yaya slices one wide
What a howler by the Bag's keeper
Oh - a long crack from Vaughan - that must have made your heart race a bit. Well handled by DeGea.
Benayoun scores as the Magyar number 2 was the one with the blooper. Sorry Ben.
United looking a wee bit ponderous. Come on!
My SS link keeps closing
It did a little. We need help from Sparky's Evil side. Perhaps they can be nice for once.
That was a bit better. Valencia with a dangerous cross that the keeper just barely scrambled away.
How are they not up for this!!
Giggs didn't seem interested in going for the cross
Norwich take the lead against Villa
England striker Holt?
Grant Holt has notched Norwich's opener against woeful Villa. Why aren't they going down?
Should Holt go to the Euros? Discuss....
Bloody hell - Shane Long has equalized for WBA! Arsenal are back down to fourth.
Attack the cross Rooney.. he was flatfooted!
Wolves take the lead at Wigan
evra has a cross deflected for a corner.
Oh - great cross in and Bardsley just reached it before Roon.
Bardsley heads out a cross for another corner that is cleared.
Not good news - Bolton are behind at the Britannia. They're going down.
Wow - Long was a mile offside on the replay.
QPR fans are cheering... Bolton are losing
Wigan have tied it up
Gillette is not working on the desktop and the laptop is taking forever to warm up.
Goals are flying in now - DiSanto has scored for Wigan to level it with Wolves.
Now it's 2-1 up!
Goals almost everywhere... but not in the two big one
Wigan are two one up
SO ARE WBA
Bloody hell - what are Arsenal playing at? The Baggies are 2-1 up! If Newcastle do anything today, they could be out of Europe?
Cheltenham defeated Fawlty Towers 2-0 in a First Leg League 2 Playoff.Jon Walters gives Stoke the lead vs Bolton and Wigan now lead Wolves 2-1.

BRILLIANT
Great finish by Graham Dorrans . If the Gunners lose then it's the Europa League for them.
Goal at Goodison... TO EVERTON
Everton have scored at Goodison - good news for Arsenal.
everton take the lead vs the Toon.
What a start to the the day
Just over the bar by Jones.. HIT THE NET
Oh - Phil Jones just over the bar from the corner. I thought that was going in!
Titus Bramble heads out for a United corner and Phil Jones heads over as he should have given United the lead.
Fantastic... every goal being shown
Great strike from Pienaar there!
A cheeky chip by Pienaar , which was Krul for the Toon.
Barton is down hurt
Rooney just stinks
United playing it about nicely now but no penetration.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!
ROONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOAL!!!!!!!!!!
ROOOOOOON!
United on top!
YESSSSSSSSS!!! ROON GIVES UNITED THE LAD.
He still stinks
Roon's 27th of the season. He could still pip RVP with four more today.
It's all happening!
Goal at Carrow Road... two nil... Villa should thank their lucky stars for last week's point
Norwich are 2-0 up through "Cinnamon Jackson."
great cross by Phil Jones and Roon takes advantage of multiple gaps in the Sunderland defense.
Fergie doesn't look very happy.
ARE YOU NERVOUS CITEH!!!!
United have done the job - now hang in there, QPR!
Who said Black Cats are bad luck?
All the Citeh fans are biting their nails already
COME ON YOU EVILS!
Evra has been poleaxed by Campbell - yellow card.
Will Sparky bite the hand that fed him so he doesn't bite the hand that fed him?
QPR arew PHAFFING AROUND WITH THE BALL DEEP.. KNOCK IT OFF
Alan Green, BBC Radio 5 live commentator at the Etihad Stadium
"You do feel an increase in tension around the Etihad now. They know about that goal on Wearside do the Manchester City fans."
Campbell forget to read his script as part of the MUFC Academy factor.
I know where that commentary came from
Scholes is fouled just outside the box.
QPR with a free kick chance
Oh - QPR with a free kick that's saved by Hart. Citeh fans are nervous.
Decent hit... saved by Hart
Useless free kick from Giggs.
Free kick to Citeh now....
BLOW UP NOW PLEASE... BOTH REFS
Silva hits the wall...phew!
Free kick given just outside the box
Big free kick chance for the Arsenal.
I agree UWS. That would suit us.
Giggs has a shot saved... Young should have found someone else
Oh - Giggs with a left-footed rocket that's saved.
Good save by Mignolet from Giggs.
Newcastle are bottling it at Goodison - it's Jelavic with another goal for the Toffees.
Roon fouled just outside the box.
Free kick chance for United
Everton are two up
It will be the two London clubs battling for 3rd
Another free kick now United. Rooney looks like he wants to hit it.
Everton lead the Toon 2-0.
Oh - off the bar from Roon!
Desmond at the Hawthorn
OH! A GREAT FREE KICK FROM ROON IS OFF THE TOP OF THE BAR WITH MIGNOLET ROOTED TO THE SPOT.
Desmond at the Hawthorns. Andre Two Saints with the Arsenal equalizer!
Jelavic is great player
Are they playing without any defenders at the Hawthorns? Another one touch goal by jelavic.
John Terry has scored a header for Chelski against relegated Blackburn.
Chelsea take the lead against Rovers... JT
Chelsea take the lead vs Rovers as Bardsley is booked . Now it is two bookings for ex United players.
Decent finish by Andy Two Saints.
Only scoreless at the Ethihad and Liberty
That wasn't a foul by Valencia.. he just got in the right position
Sounds as if it's all hands to the pump for QPR at Eastlands.
STRUTH... YOUNG AND ROONEY BOTH SHOULD HAVE SCORED!!!!
Oh - how did Roon miss that? Too casual.
Just wide by Ashley Young.
It did come off of Roon as Chelsea now lead 2-0.
Chelsea are two up
UNITED SHOULD BE AT LEAST THREE UP
Mereiles has added a second for Chelski ahead of their CL Final next weekend.
Struth.. Campbell could have scored there!
Yaya looks hurt
Oh - Campbell was in there - were you lot wetting yourselves? You may need to put on the Depends for the second half.
PHEW !!! Nearly 1-1 as Frazier Campbell volleys just wide.
KNOCK IT OFF . You are an ex united player
Phil Jones picks up a yellow for a late one.
As soon as Citeh score, they will score many.... just keep messing it up you Citizens!!
I cannot load firstrow sports on my desktop or lap top. Is anyone else having problems
BBC Radio 5 live commentator John Murray at the Stadium of Light: "United have had so many chances they could already have an unassailable lead."
Nervous moments in the United defense now.
Mine has a been giving me trouble too
Merse is yelling!!!!!
Citeh are 1-0 up. Sorry, lads.
BUGGER
ZABELLETA WITH THE GOAL
Merse is singing "Blue Moon" now. Hilarious...
Bolton have tied it up!
Paddy Kenny should have done better
Bolton have leveled it - they still need another goal.
BUGGER!!! Zabaletta has given Citeh the lead . It's out of our hands.
Now it is time for QPR to be nervous
Now it does seem as if Yaya is going to have to come off.
Useless by Rooney again!
United could have had a boatload of goals so far
I agree. Why didn't Paddy Kenny try? Bolton need a win to STAY UP.
COME ON YOU TROTTERS!
QPR deserve to be nervous.
My SS link has buggered off
