I've got the Soccer Saturday link up and running here:
http://www.thefirstrow.eu/watch/164091/1/watch-soccer-am-preview-show.html
News out of the ManYoo camp today that Fergie has blamed diving on the "foreign influence." That will be news to Ashley Young.
Your thoughts, gents?
I am here boys busy skyping Chelskilad... he says hello
Morning, UWS - say hi to Tony for me, eh?
In the early Championship match, it's 1-1 at Pride Park between Derby and Forest.
Derby leapfrog Leeds temporarily with a point.
Your thoughts about the Nigel Adkins sacking, UWS? MUR and I discussed it on Skype last night. Fergie's response was that it was "unfair and crazy." I agree.
Good morning BD and UWS. It's the crazy season. Adkins surprisingly sacked after two consecutive promotions and Sotton out of the drop zone, Pep to Bayern, and Suarez admitting to diving. And Fat Sam accusing Phil Dowd of biased refiing at OT. A crazy week.
Suarez is in the side despite his admissions of diving. Lance Armstrong will be looking to secure a move to Anfield. Here is the team news:
Liverpool: Jones, Wisdom, Johnson, Carragher, Agger, Lucas, Gerrard, Henderson, Suarez, Downing, Sturridge.
Subs: Gulacsi, Allen, Borini, Sterling, Shelvey, Robinson, Skrtel.
Norwich: Bunn; R. Martin, R. Bennett, Turner, Garrido; E. Bennett, Johnson, Tettey, Snodgrass, Howson; Holt.
Subs: Jackson, Pilkington, Rudd, Hoolahan, Barnett, Tierney, Kane.
Referee: Michael Oliver
Morning, MUR - good chatting with you last night. Hope you're enjoying your weekend.
It's still 1-1 with ten minutes remaining. Derby will go ahead of Leeds if this result stands. A must win for the Whites vs bottom Club Bristol City
Definitely a must-win for the Whites today. Here's the team news out of Elland Road and I'm mighty relieved to see Becchio on the team sheet:
Leeds: Kenny, Byram, Peltier, Lees, White, Barkley, Brown, Austin, Diouf, Becchio, McCormack. Subs: Ashdown Pearce Green Varney Norris Tonge Somma.
Bristol City: Heaton; Foster, Carey, Fontaine, Cunningham, Kelly, Skuse, Kilkenny, Pearson, Anderson, Taylor. Subs: Gerken, J.Wilson, Nyatanga, Elliott, Davies, Stead, Burns.
It was great chatting with you last night . Hope you are enjoying your weekend too.Too bad the reunion wasn't this weekend. Lovely weather. It was still loads of fun.
Keith Costigan practically quoted us when talking about Theo. The FSC crew states that Cioteh missed the opportunity to get Pep. I think we were more accurate when stating Chelsea and Arsenal
Adkins sacked. Warren Barton says no common sense from the ownership. I agree.
I haven't heard anyone who thought the Soton decision made sense.
I think the freezing weather has affectyed some matches. Only six League One matches and only three League 2 matches today. Six from the conference survived.
Suarez starts despite the comments. He has scored hat-tricks in his previous two matches vs the Canaries.
Big blast of "MOT" which woke up the dog upstairs.
Hey Boys,
Still skyping with Tony
I now have him facing the TV and he is going to be watching the Liverpool Norwich match with me
I may be absent a bit!
Good luck today Bob
Cheers, mate!
Great to watch a match with my bruv ! Haven't done that in YONKS
I think the last time was when we were over there in 07... watch United beat Watford in the FA Cup semis together
Got the lucky Leeds blankie on.
Which match are you guys going to watch?
As I said, I will have the match from Anfield on. I fear the other one will be a no contest!
Sturridge and Suarez up front together for the first time. Norwich get us started at Anfield.
I will be in and out the first half because I need to take Melanie to a tennis meet in a few minutes. will be around the entire second half.
BTW, the whole country has a lot of snow BAR EAST ANGLIA!!
Just a bit of snow in the back yard of 5 The Meadows
Great to hear you and Tony watching a match together. I am watching Pool vs Norwich.
That is par for the course, UWS.
Wishing the Whites the best
Away we go.. I'll be back
Downing headswide off a cross from the cheater
Cheers, UWS. I will be off in about ten minutes to take Melanie to her tennis meet.
Gordon Strachan the new Scotland manager. I guess. Who else would want that job?
GOAL! UWS is correct! LUFC with a reasonable shot, Schwarzer bobbled it and Silva netted the rebound.
1-0 Citeh!
BUGGER! CITEH HAVE TAKEN THE KLEAD. sCHWARZER SAVED FROM JERKO AND TEV SCORED THE REBOUND.
We started with an East Modl;ands Derby and end with a west Midlands Derby. It finished Derby 1 Forest 1
Quick start for Remy for QPR. He's been played in twice but has been waved offside. Sounds like a cracking match with the Hammers.
BD will be excited to hear that the African Cup of Nations starts today
Wigan take the lead vs Sunderland.
It's Gooner who's interested in the ANC - I can't be bothered.
Second minute at ER - Michael Brown is whistled for a foul of Cole Skuse. (sigh)
Lots of goals about in the Premiership; not a sausage in the Championship. Unusual.
The Bldes take the lead at Notts County. While I was getting dressed Balo was on the bench shivering
Indded, but iy's early doors.I was teasing you about the ANC
Celtic take an early lead vs Hearts
Sturridge straight at Bunn after a nice one two with the cheater
I do like these Fulham kits.
Bottom club, Dundee, take the lead at Hibs
LUFC old boy Neil Kilkenny has had the best chance of the match at ER - for Bristol City! (sigh)
I am off to take Melanie to her tennis meet. Will be back around halftime.
Loic Remy has scored on his debut for QPR - he's a new and instant hero for the hoops.
Penalty to Sunderland at the DW! Controversial one.
1-1 - as Craig Gardner converts.
Still no goals in the Championship - weird.
Two early yellows for Bristol City - that might help us later on.
A third goal at the DW! It's Sunderland who have turned it around. They're 1-2 up now through Stephen Fletcher, they're leading scorer. His 6th of the season.
First goal in the Championship - for Brum. Sam Vokes scoring against Brighton.
Burnley are 0-1 up at Evil Millwall now.
Glad Citeh haven't scored more... that's United form!!!
Still sitting on the floor watching the match with me bruv
Glad you're enjoying your day with the bruv.
Nice goal by Henderson!
BUGGER!!!
GOAL! Thunderbolt from Jordan Henderson. The first time I think I've ever seen him do anything.
1-0 Pool!
Brighton have leveled it through Ashley Barnes. 1-1 at St. Andrew's.
Would like a Leeds goal at Elland Road right about now. Come on, you Whites!
Charlton have taken the lead at Blackburn. Their woes continue.
Oh - Milner puts a ball right on Tev's head but he just isn't quite tall enough.
Big shout for a penalty for West Ham. Referee didn't see it but Kamara thinks it was stone cold.
We're back down to 12th given that Charlton goal.
Crikey - Zoko has been sent off for Notts County for "foul and abusive language." Wonder what he said?
GOAL! Newcastle are 1-0 up through a wonder free kick strike.
Great dummy by Sturridge and then Suarez nets it
Another great goal
Glad we're done with them this season... except for a possible FA Cup meeting
GOAL! Cheating bastard Luis Suarez has added a second goal against Norwich. He does like scoring against them - he's had two hat-tricks in his last two matches against them. It's his 16th of the season, one behind RVP.
Hull City have taken the lead at Posh through Robert Koren.
Still lots of goals in the Prem; very few in the Championship. Would like one for the Whites at ER.
I was watching "Escape to Victory" again last night. It's better than I remembered. Very similar to "The Great Escape" in parts.
Michu has missed a big chance for Swansea.
The floodgates haven't really opened at the City of Manchester.
I am back to see Pool leading 2-0
Stephen Fletcher has a brace now against Wigan. 1-3 Sunderland.
Sunderland now lead 1-3 at the DW
Welcome back, MUR. Yes - Evil Luis added a second after a rare scorcher from Jordan Henderson.
Nothing can beat The Great Escape
Fletcher with ten EPl goals this season.
Agreed, UWS. Sorry to ghear that BD. That's seven in three vs the Canaries.
Leeds have had the majority of possession but not threatening, according to Alan Mac.
Ta, BD. Made great time on the road. Hardly any trffic. Just as many cyclists as motor vehicles today
One minute ofs oppage time from Ann Field
Jeff says that "there is a danger that Berbatov will break into a walk..." Boom boom!
Sturrdige straight at Bunn after being put through by the cheater
Brighton have taken the lead against Brum through Lopez. 1-2.
Nice one , BD. Liverpool lead 2-0 at the half.Brighton take a 1-2 lead at St. Andrews
BOOM, BOOM, BD.
First corny pun of the day: What do they call the Bundesliga?
Back on for the second half. Hoping that the Canaries have some response to Pool.
And we needs goals at Elland Road - come on, you Whites!
I don't know, MUR - the German 1st division?
Reading had a real chance early doors in the second half.
It is called Not a Big League
Jordan Rhodes ties it up for Blackburn vs Charlton
Blackburn back on level terms with Charlton now through Jordan Rhodes - that's good for us - back up to 11th.
I just remembered that I brought home a laptop from school. I am now on the floor next to Tony and now I can be on LOB
Wonderful ball through from Evil Luis to his new pal Sturridge there. Instant chemistry for them.
Wonderful ball through from Evil Luis to his new pal Sturridge there. Instant chemistry for them.
Swansea take the lead against Stoke
Uh oh - I've picked up a bad case of the LOB stammer.
Brilliant , UWS. Hello Tony. Hope it's better than the one I brought home
Tony updated me the score before Sky
No changes for either side at ER at half time.
Brentford tie it up vs Tranmere as they warm up for a local derby vs Chelsea next Sunday
Wisdom hits one left-footed that nearly goes out for a throw.
Still scoreless at ER?
I juyst saw that Remy scored on his debut for QPR. Is it a case of Harry Houdini again?
Ex Arsenal man Chamakh misses a sitter
Chamakh has missed one of the sitters of the season, according to KK. Somewhere Gooner is smiling at that.
A cross from Sturridge is cleared out for a corner.
With Soton committing suicide, QPR definitely have a chance now. They're in decent form.
Gonner with a smile as wide as a Cheshire Cat
Watford have taken the lead against Huddersfield. Come on back, JB - all is forgiven!
Sounds like Bristol City have gone close at ER. Come on!
Still 0-0 as Paddy Kenny made a great save to prevent Leeds from trailing
Three nil Pool
Sturridge
GOAL! Sturridge taps in from a Stewart Downing cross. Great ball in from Henderson - his best match for Pool.
0-3!
GOAL !!!! 3-0 AS STURIDGE SCORES EASILY FROM A GREAT CROSS FROM HENDESON AFTER A NICE CROSS FIELD BALL FROM STEVIE G
Good to see Daniel rattling them in for Pool. Good for England.
Will Liverpool finish in Europe?
Champions League?
Swansea two up against Stoke
Not a wise pass from Wisdom that ends a great Liverpool move.
Jonathan De Guzman with the Swansea goal
i have to the dog for walkies.. I'll be back
Chris K says the Hammers are dominating vs QPR, but Julius Cesar has made some great save to keep QPR in the lead.
Ross Barkley hasn't really made the impression I was hoping for. I'd like to see Michael Tonge on for him soon.
Cheers, UWS. Take care
Burnley now lead 0-2 at Evil Millwall
Burnley now 0-2 up at Evil Millwall and a terrible pun from Jeff. The other boys didn't even react.
UWS has ADHD today.
Snoddy is over a free kick now. Decent delivery but cleared out.
Tame free4 kick from Snoddy easily headed out as is the return cross.
Wes Hoolihan on for elliott Bennett
Ipswich are 1-0 up through Luke Chambers.
Ipswich take the lead vs Barnsley while Chr;ton lead 1-2 at Blackburn

Udinese West Lead Ex Leeds 2-0
Kermonga has fired Charlton back into the front again - we're down to 12th again.
And Watford are now 2-0 up over Huddersfield.
Still 0-0 at ER - still no changes from Evil Neil. Come on!
I may switch to ESPN 2 since the one is done and dusted
Pool have decided they really don't need a defensive middie today against Norwich so they've thrown Sterling on.
Joe Cole has equalized for the Hammers but supersub Carlton Cole has done the damage.
Sterling on for Lucas and Borini for Sturridge. Joe Cole ties it up for the Hammers vs QPR. Tranmere take a 1-2 lead at Brentford.
snoddy wins a corner for Norwich
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
ROSS BARKLEY GIVES LEEDS THE LEAD
YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
Ross has fired us into the lead!
1-0 Whites!
Adam Le Fondre comes off the subs bench to tie it up for Reading at SJP.
It's only McCormack's fourth goal of an injury plagued season. Ross Barkley with the assist. Nice one!
BUGGER SILVA HAS A BRACE AS CITEH LEAD FULHAM 2-0
Back up to 11th and five illusory points out of the playoffs.
So it was Ross assisting Ross at ER!
Yes indeed. I'd like that combination to flourish.
Bloody hell - it's 5-0 Pool - Sterling has come off the bench to get in on the party. How much do Pool love playing Norwich?
GOAL!!! 5-0 liverpool as ryan bennett scores an OG off a corss from Sterling as the Canaries defense stood like a bunch of statues.
Now that we're in the lead, I'd like the floodgates to open up. We need to improve our wretched -5 GD if we're to compete in the top half. This is the sort of game where we should be able to improve things.
Did you see that Reading tied it up at SJP
That would be brilliant, BD
back from walk...Pool scores again.. OG
Leeds winning!!
Delia doesn't look happy about things today.
Welcome back, UWS. Yes it's 5-0. Joe Allen on for Jordan Henderson.
Things are wrapped up so Rogers reckons it's time to unleash....Joe Allen.
She looks like a cross old lady
Now the lead is down to four... tough game at WHL
Reading now leading 2-1
Carradona is playing with one boot now - that's how easy it's been for Pool today.
The answer to my question is that the Bundesliga is called Not a Big League!
Adam LeFondre with boa goals off the bench. Another comeback for Reading
Reading are back in it! 2-1 up now! Newcastle in real danger.
Snoddy has been booked.
The free kick from Suarez is out for a corner that is cleared
You're just jealous that Bayern got Pep, MUR. You're stuck with the xenophobic old Scots geezer for the time being.
Wigan get a goal back according to Tony Scorecentral
Wigan's goal scored by United Loanee Henrique
wigan have scored vs Sundelrand and trail 2-3 . An 18 year old Chilean on loan from Man Yoo scored for Wigan
Swansea are three up
Two changes from Bristol City but nothing from Evil Neil. Has he fallen asleep on the bench?
Has Michu scored any of Swansea's goals today?
We want more goals!
Peterboro tie it up with Hull
Swansea lead Stoke 3-0. Nver jealous. Will take the Old Scots geezer over Pep any day. UWS with the LOB stutter
Posh have leveled it against Hull City through a penalty.
Fulham have to visit Manchester next week too. They go across town in the FA Cup
The next round of League games is midweek following
Why did Desmond refuse to attend Arsenal vs Citeh last Sunday?
QPR just about hanging on to that early lead through Loic Remy.
Notts County tie it up vs The Blades.
Udinese West are out of sight against Huddersfield now. 3-0.
It's 1-1 at Upton Park. Udinese West now lead the Fake Leeds 3-0
Bristol City have made all three changes now. They're giving it a go. Evil Neil still asleep on the bench.
Joe Cole has a shot cleared off the line from Fabio as Qpr are hanging on by a thread
Snoddy trotting off now - he's wishing he were still at ER today.
Anthnony Pilkington on for Snoddy. Ex Man Yoo on for Ex Leeds.
Who is Fake Leeds?
I think Leeds should axe Warny and get Nigel Adkins
Celtic lead Hearts 3-1.Fulham play at Citeh today, at OT next Saturday and host Man Yoo in a fortnight
I think MUR is referring to Huddersfield, our Yorkshire neighbors who have poached our former manager Simon Grayson as well as Jermaine Beckford
I think Bob would go for Adkins. The Fake Leeds is Huddersfueld. They have two ex Leeds players and an Ex Leeds mananger
I'd like that move - Nigel is most welcome at ER.
Adkins would like a move up north. He's a Scouse.
