There is also Manchester United vs the Hammers at OT at the same time on ESPN2. I will probably not be around for the action. News from UEFA that Luis Adriano has a one match suspension due to his unsporting goal last week. It should have been more, IMHO. Also, UEFA is considering scrapping the Europa League in 2014 , but expanding the Chamipions League. It has enough tteams as is, IMHO.
I will be watching ESPN!!
I should get home just as they kick off at Old Trafford 3pm
BREAKING TEAM NEWS- Man Utd v West Ham (20:00 GMT)
Five changes for Manchester United as Rio Ferdinand, Ashley Young, the suspended Paul Scholes, Darren Fletcher and Danny Welbeck drop out. West Ham make four changes, with Matt Jarvis returning to the starting line-up.
Who IS playing in the back?
Don't take this game lightly SAF
Ben Chamberlain on Twitter: "In a bid to make himself even less popular Rafa has opted to leave Mata out of this evenings squad."
I like this news!
Interesting United Facts
Manchester United
•United have won six of their last seven Premier League matches.
•They have trailed in nine league fixtures this season but come back to win on six of those occasions.
•Ten of United's league goals this season have been headers, more than any other club in the division.
•Sir Alex Ferguson's side have scored in each of their last 55 Premier League home matches since the 1-0 defeat by Aston Villa in December 2009. It is the longest home-scoring streak in the top flight since a 75-match run by Wolves from 1956 to 1959.
•This match is being staged on the eve of Ryan Giggs's 39th birthday.
Arsenal team: Szczesny, Sagna, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Wilshere, Arteta, Ramsey, Cazorla, Walcott, Giroud. Some question about whether Walcott knacked himself in the warm-up.
Everton team: Howard, someone, someone-else, someone-else, someone-else, someone-else, Fellaine, recent-England debutante, Scottish guy, someone-else, someone-else.
1931:
Manchester United have gone unbeaten in their last 31 Premier League home matches against promoted clubs, stretching back over 11 years since a 2-1 defeat by Bolton Wanderers in October, 2001. Bolton were then managed by Sam Allardyce, while Kevin Nolan was on the scoresheet. Sir Alex Ferguson's side will be grateful the above information provides absolutely no potentially bad omens for tonight then… Oh, wait, hang on…
Man Utd v West Ham (20:00 GMT)
Manchester United make five changes to the side that started against QPR on Saturday as Rio Ferdinand, Darren Fletcher, the suspended Paul Scholes, Ashley Young and Danny Welbeck are replaced by Chris Smalling, Michael Carrick, Anderson, Tom Cleverley and Javier Hernandez. There are four alterations to the West Ham side that lost at Tottenham - out go George McCartney, the suspended Mark Noble, Gary O'Neill and Modibo Maiga; in come Guy Demel, James Collins, Matt Jarvis and Matt Taylor.
Afternoon Gooner
Looks like a strong Everton side!!!
I am about to leave for home
I'll BE BACK
Hiya, boys - good to have you about. Great news today that the Gooner is planning to join us for the LOB mini-reunion in January.

Good afternoon lads. I will see if I can get a link on espn3.com.I am delighted to hear that Gooner will attend the mini reunion. There are still a couple of vacancies at the Inn.I informed Gooner that Melanie , Eric and Wayne are welcome.
Ecellent behavior from the Blues fans
Early free kick chance for Chelski....cleared out by Sidwell.
I am on standby and told my event is about to begin. I guess the match at OT kicks off later than the others
Crikey - that didn't take long. Theo with an opener at Goodison Park. A win today would be a tremendous result for the Arse.
I'm forever blowing bubbles, pretty bubbles in the air!
Afternoon, MUR - good to have you on board for the matches.
Ooh - that is cheeky, WHR - the Mancs around these parts won't take that kindly. If you're going to be on board, I may well tune in to the United v. Hammers match on ESPN2.
Ta, BD.Good afternoon , BD, Gooner, WHR, and UWS. My appearance may be spotty, but I will be around until my students finish their test.
Ramires finds the top tier of the Shed End with that effort.
Did I hear something about bubbles bursting in Manchester?
Unfortunately I'm at the office and won't be able to watch my Hammer slay the evil Red Menace.
Sounds like me when I am out of practice.
I did call the wife and ask her to record this historic victory!
We are evil, red successful, but we love to hammer the opposition.
A United win is historic?
A United win is historic?
Early goals flying in now. Kevin Davies has put Bolton 0-1 up at Blackburn in the one Championship match on the docket this afternoon.
And LUFC Academy has put Spurs 1-0 up against Liverpool. That moves them into 6th, one space behind their North London rivals.
The match is about to start at OT. United top and the Hammers are in eighth place.
Oh, I hate our away kit.
I'll be off and on during the first half.
ESPN are on some Fred Thompson insurance advert. Back to Chelski v. Fulham.
Now they are showing the lineups.I will off and on too, WHR.
Chicha praying.Has he been lstening to WHR?
Two goals in two minutes for Swansea by Michu and Routledge - bursting WBA's bubble this afternoon.
They're off from OT.
Chelski and Fulham are truly boring my pants off, so I'm over to United v. Hammers....
and GOAL! RVP straight into the action and scores within 33 seconds.
1-0 United!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! UNITED GO ONE UP AS i COLLECT A TEST. IT LOOKED LIKE RVP SCORED.
Lovely approach play by Van Persie but then more than a touch of good fortune with a heavy deflection off James Collins.
Gareth Bale has added a second goal against Liverpool. Lots of goals about tonight.
I am home and have missed a goal!!
Tom calls me as I am in my driveway... FANTASTIC
Giid news from WHL. I thought I saw a deflection in the replay
Fat Sam displaying one of the worst Movember 'taches I've seen this season.
31 seconds... LOVELY JUBBLEY
It was RVP with a deflected goal.Fat sam looks royally pissed.
We need to score more!
Agreed, UWS. I want RVP to score all the goals.
Kevin Nolan gives away a bad foul and picks up a yellow. Another free kick chance here. West Ham really under the cosh.
Kevin Nolan, the bloody scouse, deservedly booked for a nasty foul
Spurs are TWO DOWN TO LIVERPOOL!!!
Arsenal are winning at Everton
Swansea two up against WBA!
UWS, true to form, is unhappy with United's performance so far.
Anyone got a link for Soccer Special.
First Row's doesn't work
Just got here mate... I just want us to go for the throat... often
Carroll is up front alone today and hasn't had any luck holding the ball so far. It's just wave after wave of United attacks.
I don't because I am at work. Is the Nocito SPortscenter about five minutes behind on the updates? I wonder if it was taken over by FSC!
The Ginga Ninja is suspended tonight - what a shock!
United give West Ham a chance for dangerous free kick
A rare free kick chance for the Hammers - they'll need to make this count.
Plenty of boos from the United fans for Carroll due to his time at Liverpool
STRUTH.. ALMOST IN THERE!
COME ON UNITED... MANCHESTER THAT IS
Cute one near post toward Nolan who nearly found the tight angle. Side netting.
2008:
So Theo Walcott's fastest goal of the Premier League season (52 seconds) lasted barely 15 minutes as Manchester United's Robin van Persie shaves 19 seconds off the time.
The free kickwas delflected into the side netting by Nolan
I sort of found a link
Celtic three up at Hearts
Not quite sure why the United fans are Scouse baiting tonight with their usual "You'll Never Get a Job" version of the Liverpool anthem.
WOW! Celtic are up for it tonoght.
Someone Said will be happy that Celtic are 0-2 up at Hearts.
They will probably jeer Carroll for his time as a Liverpool player and Nolan for being a Liverpudlian
Everton tie it up!!
HAIR BEAR
UWS said Celtic are three up. Someone will be happier about that, but not happy that Everton are trailing Gooner's Arsenal
Someone will be happier, but not Gooner.
Hair Bear has pegged Arsenal back at Goodison. 1-1 there now.
When I win tonight's $500 million powerball, I'm going to buy West Ham.
Spot on, UWS - I was relying on an earlier report that had Celtic 0-2 up; it's three now.
Bolton take the lead at Blackburn
We can always dream, WHR.
I'm winning... I still couldn't afford United!!
Splendid tackle there by Rafa on Jarvis.
I bet the Hammers will be capable of beating United if you buy them out. either way, I hope you win.
Not a good decision by Hernandez... was there support in the middle
Chicha missed a sitter as he should have put United two up
Oh - Chicha is a bit greedy there with a low percentage near post effort. RVP won't be happy.
I want another goal or three!!!
Goal at Southampton.. To the hosts
Sotton 1 Norwich 0
I won't complain if that happens.
Half an hour gone at the Bridge - still 0-0. Will Chelski ever score under Rafa?
Ricky Lambert has put the Saints 1-0 up over Norwich. I reckon that Soton have enough about them to just about survive this season.
Did I read that Johnno doesn't like the Hammers' away kit?
They're the classics... Bobby Moore and co wore these
I am beginning to not like United's pace... again
Terrible defending from United.. not liking it
United are allowing West Ham back into this one - UWS won't be pleased.
Evra heads out for a CORNER THEN the Hammers win another
I told you Raffa Ball is boring. Worse than Powerball!
Oh - Lindy did well there as Nolan dived in to get a touch on that shot.
"chaos in the box"
West Ham motto.
Both ends of the pitch.
I don't remember his Liverpool side being quite that boring, but perhaps they were.
For a man named Jarvis, his service is pathetic.
Nice one, WHR - boom boom!
3-0 Swansea! What on earth is going on at the Liberty?
Terrible United defending as Carroll volleys over from close in
Swansea three up against the Baggies
Phil Thommo says that Chelsea are defending well but don't know how to attack!
Not liking United again... West Ham have had the better of the chances and have been on top bar the goal
Better from United.. almost a nice cross and a shot by Anderson
A United corner was cleared and Collins was holding Smalling as if they were on "Dancing With the Stars."
ooh, that's more like it.. nice shot and well saved
Great save by Jussi from Chicha
Oh - brilliant interplay by United ending with a great shot by Chicha. Saved by Jask.
Short corner from United and Jussi catches a cross.
I am surprised by the score at the Liberty. Raffa to open with two 0-0 draws
City not looking like Table Toppers tonight according to Chris K.... keep it up
Naughty by Collins on Cleverley. Should have been a booking.,
Goal at St.Mary's.... to the visitors ... 1-1
Snoddy with the goal for the Canaries.. bad mistake from the keeper
Snoddy has equalized for the Canaries. I miss him.
It happens a lot.. a team scores inside the first minute and that is all the scoring of the match!
I remember being at Portman Road and that happening
Half time at the Bridge... scoreless!
HORRIBLE SHOT BY ANDO!!
Spurs leading at half by two
Half-time at the Bridge - 0-0. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Will Giggsy score a league goal this season... 20 and counting
WBA get a goal back with the last kick of the game
The Chunk has got one back for the Baggies at the Liberty.
3-1 there.
Are you watching the Chelsea game or United
West Ham Chelsea on ESPN on Saturday morning
I'm switching back and forth.
Come on Man U
Come on Man U
Come on Man U
Not liking what I am seeing
SS link if you want it
http://cricfree.tv/sky-sports-1-live-stream.php
Clev didn't see Evra wide open out wide.. RVP does but a horrible cross by Evra.. he control caused it
United are having passing the ball
Ian Darke talks about United not going to see United lose the title on goals again... THEY DON'T LOOK TOO INTERESTED IN GETTING MORE
Horrible pass by Clev
I'm going to stop complaining but we're pathetic!
It looks like RVP is bleeding from the mouth. I'm surprised that the ref hasn't required him to go off for treatment.
Rafa is doing a nice job on Jarvis so far.
ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK
Terrible by Hernandez... what is going on
Stop diving Hernandez
Chicha well offside there. He's looking a bit rusty.
Chat later, lads! Have to run.
RVP could have done better with that header!
RVP nearly in there.
Take care John
Cheerio, WHR!
useless shot by Roon
This team is just not that good
Half time
We're winning but at the risk of getting abused by BD... it's not good enough
Second half underway at Chelsea
United are the only of of the top six to be winning right now.. I'll take that
Stamford Library!!
Awful by Chelsea.. according to Big Nose
One chance per team.
Cheers, WHR. I guess United are winning 1-0 at the half. Chelsea heading for a second consecutive 0-0 draw with Raffa in charge,
Newcastle take the lead at Stoke.. Papiss Cisse
Berba offside... just!
Risse with a great chance for a goal but a atrocious effort!!
He used to ram those in for Pool
It was on his left... what a horrible effort
Spurs under the cosh
Teams out at the Theatre of Dreams
COME ON UNITED.... ATTACK
Away we go
Never lost a game in the premier league when leading at half time
West Ham almost in.... come on United... WAKE UP
I want us to start like a house on fire and it is same old same old
Back for the second half. I abuse because I love, UWS.
Back to back corners to West Ham
Both cleared... both terrible corners
Bolton double their lead at Ewood
I don't want you to think I am just stupid but I am truthfully not happy
I agree with Darke and Macca - Andy Carroll has been disappointing so far. He has to do better.
It's been all West Ham to start this half.. United have just given away corners, free kicks and the ball
All West Ham... did all the United players come out for the second half?
West Ham have started the brighter. United looking to play on the break.
Cleverly with a decent hit over the top.
Decent effort FINALLY from United... Clev hits one over
I don't know how we are on top
How can United be happy playing on the break... we're at home
Pappis Cisse has got on the scoresheet for a change today. His first goal since September. Newcastle 0-1 up at the Britannia against Stoke.
More poor service from The Butler. WHR won't be pleased.
Announced that yonks ago... pay attention!
He'd be pleased with this match.. they're all over United
Why are United playing this badly
Finally some possession but still not creating anything
Celtic four up at Tannadice
Make that Tyncastle
All we can create is shot by Rooney from about the Warwick Road!
I still can't see your comment about Newcastle. When was that?
United have a tasty free kick chance now.
Evans concedes his first foul this season in the Prem!
Free kick to United... come on bury it
No trouble from RVP shot
RVP on target but easy for Jask.
3:53
I'm over to the Chelski v. Fulham match. Mata has come on to replace Bertrand.
I thought Mata wasn't in the squad... I read that on the Beeb
Come on United... this isn't good enough
Half-time break - that hardly counts!
A goal at WHL... goal to Liverpool
OG to Bale I think
Decent hit by Roon
Scramble from following corner... cleared
Sorry!
Far too boring at the Bridge - I'm back on to ESPN2.
Apparently Cech just had a great save
Play fast tempo... that's a novel idea
COME ON!
Carroll isn't happy being replace
Carlton Cole coming on for Andy Carroll. And Andy isn't happy with it. Shame - I really like the kid, but he needs to start scoring.
Cole replaces Carroll
HORRIBLE PASS BY ANDERSON!!
CLUELESS
I do want us to score again but it will just give United a false sense of security... it won't be deserved
Young on for Cleverley
Ashley Young on for Cleverly - that's a shame. He had a good match.
Bale has scored at both ends and just got booked for diving
Just;like Sunday, UWS? And I repaeat, RAFFA BALL IS BORING!
What was with that cut-back by Roon?
