Thank Goodness It's Saturday!

After an especially heavy workweek, I'm happy to be settling in for a morning of the Beautiful Game. First up is Manchester City v. West Ham on ESPN2. Then in the 10am matches, the focus is on the relegation battle with Stoke hosting Norwich and Wigan hosting Tottenham. In the late one, it's Newcastle against a bite-free Liverpool. Join me for the usual LOB business.

With only two matches left, there's still a lot of business to sort out in the Championship. For one thing, three play-off slots are still up for grabs with Brighton, Palace, Bolton, Leicester and Forest with a realistic chance of it.

7:29 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Then the relegation battle is definitely on in the Championship. My dream is still to see Millwall and Not a Big Club relegated. Despite UWS protestations, I still think it could happen. Imagine this:

A Barnsley win against Hull (who are already promoted)
A Wolves win against Burnley (who are safe)
A Posh win against Not a Big Club in the biggie
A Huddersfield win over relegated Bristol City
A Millwall loss to Forest (who are desperate for a playoff place)

It could happen!

Good morning Bob
I won't be around for the whole day today. After the early match, I am off to Cortland. There is a lunch with parents a players and then they have a few scrimmages down in Binghamton at 5.
Of course, I have my iPhone so I will be able to listen to Soccer Saturday on the Thruway!

Citeh kick off and make five passes and almost score. Tev was offside though

7:47 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Citeh kick us off at Eastlands. A bit of a nothing match really as both sides are finished for the season.

7:47 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Morning, UWS - hope you enjoy your day out at Cortland and Binghamton. Sounds like a bit of driving.

7:49 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Do you agree with my relegation scheme for the Championship? Not a Big Club, Millwall and Bristol City to go down?

7:49 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I do like Sheff Wed but I do want to see the Posh stay up

You did, however, make a mistake

Hull have not been promoted. If they won last Friday at home to Barnsley they would have been promoted... they drew nil nil. If Watford didn't win last night against Leicester they would have been promoted... they did 2-1. SO, Hull are only one point ahead of Watford.
They need a win to be promoted.

Of course, people say it is easier to play someone with nothing to play for but the pressure is off then... they can just play.
Hull may feel the pressure

7:50 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I guess I would like to see Bristol City, Barnsley and Millwall to go down
I don't want Wolves to drop
Huddersfield could go down too

7:52 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Fair point - I still see Barnsley winning that one. Watford did themselves some good by winning yesterday.

7:54 AM

What about this week's CL results... BRILLIANT

7:54 AM

This match seems a bit lifeless already. The fans aren't making a lot of noise.

Nothing big...just a few bits about United's championship

8:03 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Definitely an all-German final now - did you really predict that? I thought Bayern v. Real. Only Matt picked Dortmund - everyone else went Spanish. He could win on that one alone.

However, I fancy Bayern - could be a low scoring PPP this time.

8:04 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Good morning BD and UWS.It was a long week for me too. Glad to be watching footie. A dull start to this match

8:05 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Morning, MUR - how are you, mate?

A nothing yellow card there for my mate Andy Carroll.

8:05 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I fancy Bayern too.They don't seem to be letting in any goals except against the Gunners.They are twenty points clear of Dortmund and about to poach two of their players too.

8:06 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Great. How are you?I was going to sleep in late since this is a meaningless match, but I went to bed at 10:30 so I woke up well rested.

8:07 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - Aguero hits the post when it would have been easier for him to score!

That sums up my PPP season.

OH! oFF THE POST BY nASRI AND OUT FOR A GOAL KICK OFF A PASS FROM sILVA THAT DEFLECTED OFF OF nOL;AN.

What about my United tidbits

United have won the Title 20 times.. as much as Arsenal(13), Chelsea(4) and Citeh(3) combined!!!


United are Champions in 2013
20 Championships
13 Premier League Titles

IT WAS ON THE CARDS!!

8:08 AM

Nice minute of applause for Mark Vivien Foe.

My PPP season is basically over after Real's horror show in Dortmund.

Decent hit there by Diame

8:10 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Great stat, UWS. I have one. SAF and Giggs are each tied for Arsenal with titles.

8:10 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Well - if Bayern win the CL, it doesn't harm you, MUR. A Dortmund win basically hands it to Matt.

That is why they call you Nostrabobus. I Predicted safety for Leeds about a fortnight ago.

I still think this United team is one of the worst of the Championship winning sides.

8:12 AM

Will the Gunners be thinking about that tomorrow?

8:12 AM

I'll bet that Nani is tied with Leeds for league titles!

I agree, UWS.Strange to think they have a chance of breaking Chelsea's points record.

8:13 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

That's a bit better from Aguero! GOAL!

8:13 AM

Nice Citeh team goal there. Now Aguero just needs to score about 15 goals in the next couple of matches.

It could happen!

8:14 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

GOAL!!! 1-0 CITEH ! A WELL WORKED GOAL DOWN THE LEFT AFTER NASRI PLAYED SEVERAL ONE TWOS THEN AGUERO SCORED WITH A GREAT FINISH

8:14 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Nearly 2-0 as Jussi fumbled a shot from Aguero then Zabba shot into the side netitng

8:15 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Just to confirm with you, mate. I'll be in Utica for the CIT conference on May 22-23, staying in a hotel out there before buzzing in to Chez Nocito on May 24 for the weekend festivities. Sound good?

8:16 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I am confident that I will gets points for picking RVP as GBB. Suarez won;t be around until early October except for a possible,preseason match at Fenway Park or some internationals.

8:17 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It works out well that it falls during the weekend of the CL Final.

8:17 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

The Hammers are looking terrible - can't believe that they're mid-table. How bad is the Prem!

8:17 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Should Suarez be called McGruff since he takes a bite out of crime?

8:18 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

So bad that Leeds could crack the top ten if promoted.

8:19 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I predict that it will all come down to the Nocitos v. MUR. It's all about the top seven slots and the relegation slots.

8:20 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

LOL - nice one, MUR!

I loved that bit of color commentary last weekend - "he went in for a wee nibble."

He certainly has the overbite for it.

Was Blackburn wrong to sack Fat Sam? They were tenth in the Prem. Look where they are now?

8:24 AM

Did you see the names of players for Suarez to play?
Branislav Ivanosandwich
Bacary Lasagna
John Cherry
MacaRooney
Nachos Monreal
Leighton Beans
Sergio Biscuits
Pear Mertersacker
Edible Cavani
Dimitar Burgertov

many more

Can you make some up!!

8:24 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

For example:

UWS has Arsenal rather than Spurs in the CL slot.
And Wigan in the relegation zone.

Thomas has Spurs rather than Arsenal in the CL slot.
And Wigan in the dropzone.

Matt has both Arsenal and Spurs in the EL slots And no Wigan in the relegation zone.

And MUR has Arsenal rather than Spurs in the CL slot. And Wigan not relegated.

8:25 AM

Oh - I'd love a Burgertov for lunch!

9:08 AM

Oh - O'Brien with a terrific block as Tev seemed destined to extend Citeh's win.

9:09 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Joey O'Brien blocks a shot from Tev for a corner or else Citeh would have been two up. Zaba shoots well wide from the corner.

9:10 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Your dream may come true, but a lot of other results have to go your way. A distinct possibility.

9:10 AM

I see that Young Fergie vs Not a Big Club is a late kickoff.

9:11 AM

I am not going to have time to go on walkies. I have to leave before this match ends!

A little but not much

UW won 1-2 at The Crisps yesterday. Good for Bolton , but Hull City can clinch promotion today with a win at Barnsley.

9:22 AM

FSC is talking about the Suarez ban. Rodgers claims it is the FA's responsibility to rehabilitate Suarez. I agree with Waldo that it is Liverpool's responsibility to do that and agree with Waldo that twenty gamers would have been a more appropriate ban.Warren Barton mentioned that Wenger brought up his track record. I agree with Warren and Arsene.

A weird scenario. If Hull City clinch promotion today then they face Cardiff week in a meaningless match between two teams that will have already clinched promotion

10:00 AM

Steve Bruce , a top defender in his day, will be furious , as the goal came from a Barnsley back pass and a long clearance from keeper, Luke Steele. Three passes later Jacob Mellis has the ball in the back of the net as the Hull City defense was very static.

Next Saturday, Wolves have Brighton away. Very tough. They need a win today for sure.

Posh have Palace away - also tough. Need a win today.

Not a Big Club have Boro at home - winnable. Doesn't look good for my scenario. But it could happen!

Drac off injured for Fulham and replaced by Martin Petric. A huge loss for the Cottagers. Fortunately they are safe

Maynor Figueroa goes off injured Wigan. They last thing they need at this point.

Bristol Rovers take the lead vs Fawlty Towers. That would relegate the resort team

Nervy times at Molineux according to Tony Cottee. Could be a double relegation for them.

Still 0-0 in the prestige match in L1 - Brentford v. Donny.

Hoping that PNE can do in the Blades today.

Looks as if we'll fall short of our points total of 61 for last season. I don't fancy that last day of the season away fixture at Watford.

I hope Hull City finish third because I fancy Bpolton's chances vs them. Brighton would be a tough nut in the final, but Palace winable.

A fight in midfield as Hull City's Matt Fryaat dive from a challenge by Perkins. They fought, but only a lecture for both players. Testy at Oakwell/

Goals is every single match in the Championship already. That's good value for the punters.

You are desperate. I suppose United have a short trip to the Reebok for their customary three points.

Brighton and UW are the best sides after Evil Cardiff.

After that initial flurry of goals, the goals have dried up.

My SS feed is like Wolves' attack - ineffective.
