Good morning, BD. I skipped the early East Midlands Derby too.I think it's actually 4th vs 6th, so it is an important result from a Leeds point of view. Dropped Melanie off at the local high school so she could catch the bus for All Region rehearsals and Elizabeth and Jacquelyn at the supermarket.
Leon Osman in the England squad? Interesting!How is a 31 year old part of future development? Isn't that the purpose of friendlies to give potential future internationals experience?
Into stoppage at the crisps and it is Desmond in the East Midlands Derby. All the goals were scored in the first half.A result that helps neither team. Leicester would stay 4th, while Forest would be 11th,but only one point outside a playoff place.

As I type , it finished Desmond at the Crisps. Also, it finished Callie 1 Hearts 1

Morning, MUR - great to have you on board. From the SS reports, Leicester should have won this one at a canter but they seem to have thrown it away.
All eyes on Elland Road this afternoon as Leeds face a "Just Below Midtable 6 Pointer" against Watford. Leeds start in 15th, with Watford one point below. Three points needed today.
FSC is previewing the clash at Goodison. It's got to be a home win today for the Toffees, I reckon. Sunderland are pants.
Great to have you on board too, BD. ESPN 2 is showing Arsenal vs Fulham at the same time as the FSC match.
Got the Pip so I can watch both matches, bacon, eggs, and coffee are ready. Now time for the Gilette Soccer Saturday link.
Thanks for the tip, mate. I'm off to the Arsenal v. Fulham match then.
Moments silence in both matches.
All stadia recognizing Armistice Day today - lots of poppies about.
Now probs mate. I am a decent short order cook, but not a chef.
And we're away at the Emirates.
They're off from the EM
They're off from the EM

Great chance for Fulham as Bryan Ruiz has a shot deflected just wide.
Oh - that was a close shave for the Arse. Bryan deflected shot just past the upright. Corner.
Cardiff have taken an early lead - they are on fire!
Evil Cardiff take the lead vs Hull City
Arsenal seem to be having trouble getting it out of their own half.
Nearly the lead for Sunderland as Sessignon put Fletcher through and he shpt about an inch wide.Young Fergie take the lead vs Palace.
I predict that we will see an EPL goal before Florida's electoral votes are decided.
Yeovil take the lead vs Hartlepool . Jeff says there is plenty of time.
GOAL! Giroud! Well, that's what he was bought for. A rare headed goal from a corner for the Arse.
1-0!
GOAL !!! THE GUNNERS TAKE THE LEAD OFF A CORNER. COULDN'T TELL WHO HEADED IT IN
Florida was called for Obama yesterday, mate. About time, eh?
Correct, BD. It was Giroud off the corner from Theo.
definitely, BD. I thought they had learned from 2000. Thanks, BD.
Morecambe and Wise lead Barnet 2-0
GOP jokes are going around the local middle schools. One is :
Why did the GOP lose the Presidential election?
Don't know - why did they?
Blackburn take the lead vs Brum
Posh have taken the lead against table toppers Palace. That means Boro claim the top after their win yesterday and Cardiff remain in second. Palace drop to third.
Because they made a big Mitt Stake
Miralis had a shot blocked as he was through on goal.
Blackburn take the lead against Brum. That should lift them above Leicester into fifth.
Bolton take the lead at Blackpool
Lots of goals now in the Championship - Bolton in the lead against Blackpool now.
Blackpool tie it up vs Bolton.
Immediate response from the Tangerines - Tom Ince with the equalizer. 1-1.
Brum tie it up at Blackburn

Heitinga had a shot deflected just over for a corner. Mignolet dropped the cross and Sunderland hoofed it clear
Looks like Kieran Richardson will have to come off - he's done his hammy.
Bury take the lead vs Pompey. Time to text the update,
I missed that, BD. I was texting UWS.
GOAL! Arsenal double their lead through Lukas Podolski.
I did not expect this. 2-0!
GOAL !!! 2-0 GUNNSERS AS THER COTTAGERS WERE SLICED APART AND ARTETA LAID IT ON A PLATE FOR POLDI TO FINISH EASILY FROM CLOSE RANGE.
Where is UWS this morning?
Kieran Richardson was off the pitch , injured, when Poldi scored.
Wolves take the lead vs Brighton.
UWS is playing golf in Charlotte. A GOP strategy session???
Wolves are 1-0 up against Brighton. Some strange scorelines in the Championship today.
Oh - right; this is the NC junket that he was planning and hoping that Tom's soccer schedule wouldn't interfere with.
GOAL! Fulham get one back through a header off another corner by Drac. A cheap one to give away.
2-1!
Drac scores for Fulham off a corner and it is now 2-1.
BUGGER!!! Udinese West take the lead at ER!
BUGGER! Watford have taken the lead at Elland Road. We are in rotten form right now. Warnock out!
The spoils of a six=pointer; Watford up to 13th, we're down to 16th now.

Sorry Bob. I agree. UWS thanked me for the updates and says he's on the ninth hole. Almost halfway done.
High and wide from Jelavic off a corner.
Millwall take the lead vs Derby County
Argyle take the lead vs the Gills. Bob will be pleased.
Wide by Hair Bear off a great run and cross by Baines.
It was a corner and the ref called a foul off the corner.
It was a corner and the ref called a foul off the corner.
GOAL! Fulham are level! Great run from Drac and Niklas had a lot to do with the header but still beat Manone!
2-2!
Great match here at the Em. Yellow card down for Sidwell.
Huddersfield have taken the lead at Barnsley who are mired in the dropzone.
Oh - free header for Giroud but he got under it.
Four of the five goals in the Prem today are at the Em - the match I chose to watch. WBA are ahead at Wigan.
West Brom lead 1-2 at Wigan.
Now it's 1-1 at the DW.
Sunderland have taken a shock lead at Goodison Park. Wow!
GOAL !!! ANDREW JOHNDON SCORES FOR SUNDRLAND OFF A CORNMER AT GOODISON.
Halftime at Goodison and at the EM
Half time whistles going up around the country. I'm off to throw some laundry in.
BLOODY HELL !!! It gets worse at ER as Jason Pearcve has ben sent off for Leeds. Down a goal and a man. Sorry Bob.
Back from the loo as the second half is nderway from Goodison
The same from The EM
Second halves starting up. It really can't get any worse at Elland Road. But I'm hoping for a titanic come-back by the ten men. Oh - and Sack Warnock!
Mignolet dos well to punch away a free kick, under pressure from fellow Belgian, Hair Bear.
A shot rom Heitinga was blocked, then pounced on by Mignlet.
Fulham back on the front foot again. They've never won at Arsenal, but they've certainly got a chance now.
Warnock has re-shuffled the pack in order to adjust for Pearce's loss. Tom Lees on for Paul Green.
Still - why is Becchio, our top scorer, on the bloody bench, Neil!?
Heitinga hha d aheader cleared off he line from a corner than Osman shot just wide.
Stoke have taken the lead through Charlie Adam.
Charlie Adam gives Stoke the lead vs Evil QPR
Ipswich take the lead vs Burnley.
Craig Mackail-Smith tied it up for Brighton at Wolves as Karl Henry has been sent off for Wolves.What a surpise.
The Ox is trudging off to be replaced by Coq au Vin. Not sure what the point of that change is.
Just wide by Theo off a nice one-two with Giroud.
Karl Henry is a right thug, isn't he?
Bury lead Pompey 2-0. UWS willnot be pleased.
Absolutely, BD!
Derby tie it up at Millwall.
Podolski is a chippy little sod - he seems to be able to get away with dozens of niggly little fouls without the ref taking any action.
Great run by kalsi micklicv, but poor cross. The Gunners counter and just ike Fulham, a poor final ball.
Ramsey's got a yellow now - Arsenal seem to be resorting to a bit of thuggishness.
Arsenal have a free kick chance now - Arteta over it.
The Gunners have a free kick in a dangerous position. Sidweel.,, on a yellow conceded thhe free kick. Curled over by Carzola.
Cazorla curls it over the crossbar!
Bloody hell - Rodolph Austin has been stretchered off and Evil Neil has already made his three subs, so we're bloody well down to nine men!
BLOODY HELL!!! SORRY ABOUT THAT , Bob.
Le Tiss yelled goal as they went off to a commercial break
I heard that - I don't know where the goal is though.
A horror show for the Gooners - Arteta has given away a pen!!
FULHAM HAVE A PEN !
Looks like a stone cold penalty there. Drac to take...
Stutter step and cool finish. 3-2!
GOAL !!! DRAC HAS A HAT-TRIC AS HE COMPLETELY FOOS MANONE FROM THE SPOT.
That goal was from St. Mary's as Stton lead Swansea 1-0 and Wolves lead Brighton 2-1.
Oh - Theo had a chance to respond immediately - on the volley! Saved.
Actually, I think Kacanikilic scored Fulham's second. Drac is on a hat-trick.
GOAL! Giroud gets his brace at the second attempt!
3-3!
Giroud hits the Sunday roast with his first shot and then Theo chips one up for him to head home. It's great to see Arsenal finally find a proper target man.
Now it's Sagna who coughs up the ball. The Arsenal defenders are giving their side a really hard time.
iT WAS A GREAT THROUGH BALL FROM pODOLSKI , Giroud had a shot come off the post, then Giroud headed home a cross from Theo.
Nathan Dyer ties it up for Swansea at Soton.
Thanks, BD. I was not aware of that
Bugger! Watford are 0-2 up now! It's all going wrong.
We're now in 17th place and ominously closer to the dropzone than we are to the playoff places. Sack Warnock!
Hair Bear has equalized for the Toffees at Goodison.
Hair Bear has equalized for the Toffees at Goodison.
GOAL !!! 1-1 AT GOODISON AS HAIR bEAR SCORES FGROM LONG RANGE, SHOOTING THROUGH A CROUD OF PLAYERS.
Wolves and Brighton are at Desmond now.
Everton have turned it around! 2-1 now as Jelavic comes alive.
Great through ball from Hair bear to jelavic to score.Poor defending by Sunderkland on both goals
I can't remember when Arsenal have played this kind of crossing game into the box.
Millwall lead Derby 2- and Balckpool have made it Desmond at Bolton.
BUGGER!!! Burnley tie it up at Portman Road.
North London derby early doors next Saturday. I'll be bunkered in a hotel room in Seattle. It should be a 4:45 kickoff there, right?
SORRY BOB! Wartford lead 0-3 at ER!
Correct, BD. I will join you. Grea dediocation on your part.
Palace tie it up at Young Fergie.
Oh well - at this point, they might have well hit us for five. Interestingly, the lads on the Square Ball podcast were commenting that we hadn't been really tonked yet this season, despite playing really poorly in several matches. Well - here it is!
Theo's gimping off now - replaced by Arse Shaven.
SACK WARNOCK!
Too right, MUR - Sack Warnock now!
If we were to conceded two more goals today, we'd drop below Brum into 18th place.
Nearly into stoppage time now, and Fulham are still looking for that winning goal. Oh - Hangeland had a free head too!
Leeds score a consolation at ER.
TOO LITTLE TOO LATE.
Criikey - we've got one back! Michael Tonge - who's bang in form. His fourth goal of the season.
Ipswich regain the l;ead at Portman Road. Now lead 2-1.
The rain strts to poour ion Merseyside as they enter stoppage time.
Giroud and Arteta have late chances but this looks like an inevitable draw in the London derby.
Desperate defending from Fulam
Wtford now lead 1-4 at ER.
Birghton take a late 2-3 lead at ER.
What a shower!
Stoke defeat QPR 1-0
WOW - what drama! Arsenal have a chance to win this through a late penalty! Phil Dowd has given it!
Very harsh on Fulham, that. But still - Arteta has a chance to win it for the Gunners.
LATE pen for arsenal as Riethe is called for handball from a cross by Arshavin.HArsh
Oh - Schwarzer saves it! That's it - final whistle! And some boos have gone up around the ground. That seemed like justice done. Wow!
It finished 3-3 in a dramatic finale at the EM. Everton defeat Sunderland 2-1.
It has finished Sotton 1 Swansea 1
It finished Reading 0 Norwich 0
BLOODY HELL! Watford lead 1-5 at ER.Surely , warnock will be walking the plank.
Arteta the villain at the EM as he conced one pen and missed at the other end.
BLOODY HELL !!! wATFORD GO 1-6 UP IN THE 9TH MINUTE OF STOPPAG TIME!
The final whistle has blown at ER as Wtford win 1-6 and surely the final whstle for Warnock in charge of Leeds.
I'm back with my lunch to enjoy the late one - United at Villa Park. What's your prediction today, MUR?
Welcome back, BD! UWS said to say sorry about ER and that Warnock will probably walk the plank. I predict United to win by one goal.
They're off from Villa Park.
Team news out of the Midlands today:
Villa - Guzan, Lowton, Vlaar, Clark, Stevens, Ireland, Westwood, Barry "Bloody" Bannan, Weimann, Benteke, Agbon. Subs: Given, El Ahmadi, Albrighton, Hoiman, Delph, Bowery, Williams.
United - DeGea, Rafa, Rio, Smalling, Avra, Valencia, Carrick, Scholes, Young, Roon, RVP. Subs - Lindy, Buttner, Cleverboy, Anderson, Fletch, Chicha, Wellbeck.
COME ON MAN UNITED!
COM ON MAN UNITED!
COEM ON MAN UNITED!
And we're away at Villa Park.
Predictable boos for Ashley Young on his return to Villa Park.
Nice attacking lineup and love the nicknames!
To be expected.
VCalencia has a shot deflected for a corner.
United straight onto the front foot through Valencia. First corner to United.
RVP heads straight to Guzan from ther corner.
Fletch has a tricky chance from the corner but it's easily held by Guzan, who's probably Villa's best player this season.
LUFC Academy factor today - +1 (Fab Delph)
A curler from Young is watched by the post by Guzan.
Just checked . Cooler weather finlly heading our way. Highs in the mid toupper 70s Monday through Thursday and Lows in the mid 50s to low 60s. ABOUT BLEEDIN' TIME.
United with all the early possession. Now Villa finally on the attack.
Scholesy's usual chop there - could have been into the book early doors.
It will be + 2 if Delph comes off the bench and Barry Bloody Bannon was on loan at ER.
Plenty of cool drizzly weather up here in WNY.
evra heads out the free kick from Bloody Bannon for a Villa corner , the Vlaar catches Evra on the back of the head.
Head tennis off the corner from Bannon, then Rio concedes another corner.
Villa retain possesion of the next corner.
The usual useless cross by Barry "Bloody" Bannan.
Change that drizzle to rain and send it our way please. Glad to see that we'll be receiving the cooler weather starting Monday
I claim no Leeds affiliation with Bannan - he wouldn't get into my pub side.
He caused us problems with the free kick off the foul from Scholes.
Useless by Young as Loughton, the ex Blade easily clears.
Is Bannon or Lichaj any worse than the side Warnock put out today?
Yes - if they'd been playing, it would have been 1-8 Watford.
Useless effort from Roon. and Villa counter. Bounces harmlessly to De Gea.
I am not so sure, BD. It never was when they played at ER.
Rio seems angry with the world.
