The Return of RVP
Will United strive for more than ninety-five?
Chelsea and Swansea play today as well. Can the Swans repeat their League Cup semi final exploits against the Blues? Bottom of the table battle between two future Championship sides Reading and QPR are also on the docket.
Join me after your sleep in!!

I love my iPhone.
I was able to listen to Soccer Saturday all the way along the NYS Thurway! IT WAS GREAT!
I arrived at Cortland as all the matches ended. The trip went quickly because of it
Tom's team did well. They played a semi pro team, Binghamton and Siena. They lost a couple by one goal and drew the other. 45 minute games
Chelsea and Swansea start at 10 and the Em match at 11
LINE-UPS - Reading v QPR (1330 BST)
Reading: McCarthy, Gunter, Mariappa, Morrison, Kelly, McCleary, Karacan, Guthrie, McAnuff, Pogrebnyak, Blackman. Subs: Taylor, Pearce, Le Fondre, Hunt, Robson-Kanu, Harte, Carrico.
QPR: Green, Bosingwa, Hill, Onuoha, Traore, Jenas, Granero, Mbia, Taarabt, Remy, Bothroyd. Subs: Julio Cesar, Derry, Park, Mackie, Da Silva, Ben Haim, Hoilett.
Referee: Kevin Friend (Leicestershire)
The loser at Reading will officially be down
A draw would be curtains for both if Villa get a point tomorrow.
So, who will join these two going down.
Will the FA Cup Final be the deciding factor?
Will Wigan be like Brighton and lose the Cup to a Manchester club and get relegated? They haven't been back!(maybe this year!)
Has it happened since?
I think all the clubs from Sunderland, Newcastle, Villa and Wigan could go down!
We're underway at Madejski
Celtic take the lead up North at second place Motherwell
Their goal difference is +52, Motherwell's is +14
Motherwell tie it up
As you can figure out, not much has happened at Reading. Still nil nil 21 minutes in
Good morning UWS. Well done by Tom's team.I am up this early because I went to bed early last night.
Jay Bothroyd came the closest to scoring when he chipped Alex McCarthy but it went a foot wide. The long ball from the halfway line was the only quality in this match.
Morning MUR
I was reading your comments last night and didn't think you'd join me
WHERE'S THE QUALITY? Bob must be licking his chops at the thought of these teams visiting ER next season.
Motherwell net a penalty to take the lead against Celtic
I was going to have a late lie in but went to bed early because I was really exhausted form a long week.I feel well rested and am delighted to join you.
Would I be better off watching Well vs Celtic on Plus.
I don't know why I got up early
| was knackered after the drive home. I got home around 11 o'clock
I went to bed at 10.Bob and I suggested that you wash down the Wayne Nacarooni with some Giles Coke.He plays for Not a Big Club.
I guess you should... there's been another goal
3-1
Wrexham have just taken the lead at Kidderminster in the second leg of a Conference playoff semi and now lead 3-1 on agg. It looks like an all Welsh playoff final.
Pretty weak efforts there... BTW... Sheff Wed ARE a big club
I'd like to see Wrexham get promoted. Last year, they were miles ahead of the teams behind them but missed out on promotion by a point... lost the playoffs
Who would they play?
Just looked it up... could be Newport County
Morning, fellas. I had a late night out so I decided to have a bit of a lie-in. I can see that I haven't missed anything.
Btw, UWS - Sheffield Wednesday? Not a Big Club!
Scramble on the line but cleared by Rangers
5Live has a special on Thursday about Suarez. It's called
What's Eating at Luis Suarez?
Kidderminster is the Wrexham of last year.If wrexham went up it would be a nice double as they have already won the FA Trophy
Well's top scorer , Michael Higdon, has been booked.Not one Celtic player was nominated for Scottish PFA Player of the year , a decision that infuriated Neil Lennon.
Could easily have been a penalty there.
Nearly 4-1 Well as Fraser Foster did well to save a deflected effort on the counter.The corner is cleared/
Sheffield Wednesday
A good size city
The best supported team in that city
Always has big crowds at Hillsboro no matter what level the team is in. +40.000 in the bottom tier!
They are number tied for SEVENTH in League Titles
Man United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Everton, Villa and Sunderland have won more
Newcastle, Chelsea and Sheff Wed have won four
They were a top six club in the first few years of the Premier League. Made both cup finals in 93
Whatever Suarez eats must be washed down with a Giles Coke or an Oliver BeerHoff
Time for a rebuttal from Bob.
Their ground has held TWENTY-SEVEN FA Cup Semi Finals!
Paddy McCourt is on for Thomas Rogne as Neil Lennon makes a change
Luis Suarez Ten Match Ban
FIve live is saying this is an anagram for something
Can you come up with it?
Half time
This match is being played at a much higher standard than the one in Berkshire.
With 39,812 seats, Hillsborough has the highest capacity of stadiums in Championship, and the 12th highest in England. The club intended to increase Hillsborough's capacity to 44,825 by 2012 and 50,000 by 2016 and make several other improvements in the process, but due to England's failed World Cup bid, this is now not the case.[34]
Nearly a fourth for Well yet again as they countered off a Celtic corner.Great save from Forster one on one.Surely , Woy must consider Forster as one of the keepers in the England squad.
Forster saves from Michael Higdon as Well threaten to run riot.
That would make Wednesday the best supported club in League One next season!
Another Celtic change as Dylan McGeouch is on for Thomas Rogic.
Both teams would be relegated if Villa get anything vs Paolo's lads tomorrow.If Villa win then Wigan are in big trouble.
Wrexham one up at Kidderminster at the held and 3-1 up on agg. Newport won by three at Grimsby in the first leg of the other semi earlier this week so it must be an all Welsh final.
Paddy McCourt with a foul that leads to a Well free kick
Celtic were wise to the short free kick and forced Well to shoot well over.Anthony Stokes on for Samaras as Celtic make their final change.
Well are definitely better than Reading and QPR
Keith Lasley has been booked for Well.
A series of blocked shots leads to a Celtic corner taken short.McCourt blasts well over to the delight of the Well fans.
Stuart McCall, the Well manager, and former Rangers player, must be delighted.
Shot wide by Anthony Stokes as he was set up by fellow sub, Paddy McCourt
James McFadden gets a standing ovation in his second spell at Well as he is replaced by Casley.
five minutes plus stoppage remaining
Celtic lost here in February too.Two home wins vs Celtic is no mean feat
Back for the second half, lads. My rebuttal:
You could say the same thing about Preston. And Preston North End. Good size city. Historic club with lots of trophies. By your definition - a big club.
What about the anagram???
Henrik Ojamaa, the Estonian, is replaced by Zane Francis-Angool, who was recently released by Spurs.
Not sure about the anagram. Nothing came to mind.
What also makes Sheffield Wednesday a big club is one of our heroes is a big fan
Michael Palin
Into stoppage time at Well.
OH! OFF THE POST BY aNTHONY sTOKES OF cELTIC.
It is
Craziest Unstable Human
IF John Cleese supported Lowestoft Town would that make them a big club?
I read the transcripts and saw nothing with those initials.
The final whistle has blown and Well defeat Celtic 3-1.
I'm rubbish at anagrams
This has got to be one of the worst matches of the season. Good riddance to both of them.
Not a single goal in the Losers Bowl!
As I stated earlier, you must be licking your chops at them visiting ER next season.
Don't be knocking Lowestoft Town!!
Did you see that Martin O'Neill could be going back to Leicester City
A draw, unfortunately, relegates neither team.A draw tomorrow at Villa Park will.
Why do the Champions of the Championship always see to do to worse in the Premier league than the other two that come up
Pogs with a decent effort... curled wide
That move makes sense for both Martin and the Crisps! What is Martin's favorite flavor?
Five Live keep saying a draw would bring them both down but you're right... they would still have a slight chance
Reading's best chance of the match and one moment of quality. QPR's w was Bothroyd's chip in the first half.
The Conference Play off ended only 0-1 to Newport in the first leg
A draw here and a draw tomorrow at Villa Park would relegate both these teams, to the delight of Bob.
Just hoping that the fake sheikhs who now own LUFC open up the purse strings so we really can brush this lot aside next season. We'll now likely end up with 58 points - 3 points shy of our 2011/12 points total - and in 14th place, exactly the same as last year.
Reading were Champs last season
Sotton and West Ham are coasting!
I reckon that Paolo's newly energized Black Cats might see off Villa tomorrow.
Leeds are in 16th place
Correct UWS.Not sure what I was thinking. That was when Desmond was watching Brazil vs Chile.
Reading were an average side that had a freakish late run while everyone around them - Cardiff, Leicester, etc - faltered. They never were that good.
Adam LeFondre is on for Gareth McLeary. Will the former Stockport County, Rochdale, and Rotherham striker make a difference off the bench?
I know - don't rub it in mate.
I agree Bob. I am glad I picked them for relegation in the PPP.
I just said that because you said 14th
Pav Pogs headed a cross from Robson-Kanu into the ground then it bounced over.
I'd have Chris Gunther at Leeds.
That's my guess for the end of the season, but I might be overestimating. Depends on other results.
Junior Hoilett on for Taaraabt . Like for Like.
What is the point of Adel Taraabt?
Luv to see Swansea get something today
I still think UW and Brighton are best equipped to survive in the Prem. Hull City are the worst.
Five Live keep saying a draw will relegate them...why???
Am I missing something
Strange as it may sound, Taarabt leads QPR in assists and is joint top scorer.. It depends on thwe day, which end of the bipolar spectrum he is on.
Kidderminster tie it up vs Wrexham and trail 3-2 on agg. Another Kidderminster goals sends it into ET.
YOu know what... I think I just figured it out!!!
Aston Villa and Wigan play each other on the last day of the season
Wigan win they will have 35, If Villa they will have 37 if they draw villa will have that point
THESE TWO ARE DOWN!!
Great run there by Traore.
I am off for walkies
I won't miss much!!
Five Live is wrong.IF QPR and Reading win their last three and Villa lose their last four then all three teams would finish level on 34 points.One of those three would survive.
I think you're right, mate. Villa would still need one point to outstrip these two.
Don't question a math teacher, eh?
That is true. Then a draw relegates both teams.
WELL DONE, UWS!
I wonder how Fabio likes the taste of a relegation battle?
The last game of the season... those points have to go somewhere!
Villa get a point OR Wigan get 3... either up to 35
Fabio on for an unenthusiastic Bosingwa.
Got this one up for the Chelski v. Swansea match just starting up:
http://www.firstrow1.eu/watch/183718/1/watch-chelsea-vs-swansea-city-fc.html
I am back from the loo and switched to Chelsea vs Swansea.
CONGRATS UWS! YOU ARE CORRECT. A draw relegates both QPR and Reading. Well done.
Wrexham have take a 1-2 lead vs Kidderminster and now lead 4-2 on agg.
Kidderminster need two goals in the final fifteen minutes to send this playoff to ET as away goals are not used in the playoffs.
If Chelski get to the Europa League final, they will break a new record for the number of matches played in a season by a Premiership side - 69.
QPR and Reading fans looking down in the dumps.
The match at SB is not any more entertaining than the one at The Madjeski.
Agreed. Both look like going down today.
Are you having some Tal Ben Ham N Eggs for breakfast?
Chelski by kicking off have jumped into 3rd again, one goal better on GD than the Arsenal. Spurs a point back at 62.
Leon Britton fouls Ramires and Swansea ave a free kick. Into the wall by Mata and harmlessly to the Swansea keeper.
Nice interchange between Hazard and Oscar nearly broke down the Swans.
Gooner will not be pleased that Arsenal players will have to form a guard of honor for United players prior to kickoff. I am sure he will be cringing.
worm fumbles a short from Ramires and it is cleared away
Isn't that the usual protocol at the end of the season for champions? I think that's a classy act.
Tal Ben Ham N eggs can be followed by some Michael Worms washed down with Giles Coke.
Into stoppage time at the Madjeski. What a rubbish display.
Wrexham now lead 1-3 at Kidderminster and 5-2 on agg and are all but through to a Wembley final.
Wrexham now lead 1-3 at Kidderminster and 5-2 on agg and are all but through to a Wembley final.
Definitely classy, but Wenger and fellow Gooners may not see it that way.
0-0 at full time. Sad days for both sets of fans with their sides virtually on the edge of going down with a whimper rather than a bang.
Hernandez has a cross deflect off of Cashley for a corner.
I would like to think that Gooners will accept that as part of the traditions of the game. They're good fans.
I think both sides are down due to the fact That Wigan host Villa.They will not be missed. Good riddance.
Wow - FSC are stating, "Reading and QPR Relegated!" That's clearly wrong.
Good point, Bob.Should be an interesting match
Warren is saying that there are "too many bad apples" at QPR. I agree.
No. It is correct. UWS informed us that since Wigan play Villa that one of those teams will definitely end the season with more than 34 points, so FSC is correct that both teams have been relegated.
I agree with Warren too. Harry Crumb is one of them. A horrid apple pie.
Oh - I get it. Thanks, MUR.
Lampard warming up to replace Ramires, who was injured when fouled by Leon Britton.Chelsea fans are pleased.
Lampard about to come on early doors. He's still chasing Bobby Tambling's goalscoring record - he's two goals away.
No probs , BD. Good riddance to that duo.
I would not be surprised to see him eclipse.It is rare for a midfield player to have a club's goal scoring record.
well wide by Pablo Hernandez after a miss kick from Wayne Routledge
Wrexham have won 1-3 at Kidderminster and defeated them 5-2 on agg. They will play Grimsby or Newport County in the playoff Final.
I have to take Jacquelyn to Bat Mitzvah lessons . I will be back in a tick.
Lampard on will give Chelski another attacking outlet. They really don't need two holding middies when playing Swansea at home.
Cheerio, mate!
I am home from a nice walk with Kathy and Shadow... lovely weather today
So, how very apt that those two are relegated with a nil niller
1528:
LINE-UPS - Arsenal v Man Utd (1600 BST)
Arsenal: Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs, Arteta, Ramsey, Rosicky, Cazorla, Walcott, Podolski. Subs: Mannone, Vermaelen, Wilshere, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Monreal, Jenkinson, Gervinho.
Man Utd: De Gea, Da Silva, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra, Valencia, Carrick, Jones, Nani, Rooney, van Persie. Subs: Lindegaard, Anderson, Giggs, Hernandez, Cleverley, Kagawa, Buttner.
Referee: Phil Dowd (Staffordshire)
I think that a Guard of Honor for the Champions is classy
United have had to do it to Chelsea and Arsenal at Old Trafford
Mark Clattenburg is back at the Bridge for the first time since being accused of racial abuse... wrongly
FSC showed RVP jokingly walking toward the Arsenal dressing room
What do you think of the United line-up? I'm happy to see Nani back in the side.
I was listening to Five Live and they said that if the score at Old Trafford last against Citeh ended 1-2.. there would have had to be a playoff for the title!!
I am back and based on the reaction of Melanie and her friends a nasty clash involving David Lewis.
I'd like to have seen Kagawa... he has been good the last few weeks
GOAL! Oscar opens the scoring for Chelski with his third Prem goal of the season.
GOAL !!! 1-0 CHELSEA . A GREAT FINISH BY OSCAR
nICE INTERPLAY AND A NICE FINISH
Nice move through Terry and Lamps - the old guard - to Oscar who fires home right footed into the corner.
Chelski up to 65 points, two clear of the Arse.
Goal at the Bridge... Oscar scores for the Blues
I like the lineup . I was expecting a reserve side from SAF, so I am pleased. Strange for RVP 's old mates will form a guard of honor for him. He will return home a Champion.
PENALTY TO CHELSEA IN STOPPAGE TIME.lEON BRITTON CALLED ON MATA. IT DIDN'T LOOK A FOUL
Juan Mata owns Chelski a penalty - will Lamps step up to take this one?
Penalty at the Bridge... Lamps nets hit an is one goal behind club goalscoring record
It is Lamps - and he fires home #201! One behind Tambling now. What a legend!
GOAL!!!! 2-0 AS LAMPS SCORES WITH A GREAT PEN, EDGING CLOSER TO BOBBY TAMBLING'S RECORD.
This match is done and dusted.
Johnny Hates Jazz three hours ago
Top of the morning, everyone. The single 'Magnetized' has been released today in the UK!!!! It's available as a download from iTunes, Amazon etc. This is a big moment for Mike and I, for supporters of JHJ, for music-lovers everywhere and for humanity in general with possibly one or two exceptions. Let the Future commence! CD
That tackle looked more a foul than the penalty
Why is Mike all blurry on the cover of the single?
WELL DONE,JHJ!
Chelsea lead 2-0 at the half.
He doesn't want to be the face of JHJ
They have had some great interviews of late.
In the Times last week!
Switching over to FSC now for the big one. I wouldn't be surprised to see Arsenal come out on top after United's title heroics earlier the week.
STRIVE TO BEAT NINETY-FIVE!!
I made that up
Arsenal coming out of the tunnel first and forming a Guard of Honor
HERE COME THE CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!
Alan Green says there were too many boos for it to be worth it
SInce United won the Cup in 1990... they have won 25 major trophies in 23 years!
Away we go
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
We'll see straight away if United and Ferg truly want to beat the 95 or whether they'll take the foot off the gas after securing the title.
RVP roundly booed when he gets the ball
ONE NIL the ARSE!!
Walcott
GOAL! Theo scores within minutes - there's your answer!
OFFSIDE TOO
And it was RVP who coughed up the ball to start the move for Rosicky. Does RVP want to see Arsenal in the CL next season? Just starting the conspiracy theory.
Boy, I'm glad the title is the back pocket already
Chelski won't be happy with that either - Arsenal are now a point ahead of them in third again. Of course, Arsenal will have played a game more.
I am back to see Theo give the Gunners the lead 1:44 in from a through ball by Rosicky.Poor United defending and poor keeping by Lindy
United look they still have hangovers from Monday night
United do this every time they win a title. I remember a couple of season back that they helped the Hammers stay up by allowing them to win at Old Trafford. With Tev scoring a brace at the Stretford End!
Then they bought him....more conspiracy theories.
Just wide by Rosicky as United don;t seem to give a toss about the match. AVB will not be pleased.
De Gea looked shaky there!
