A nice moment of silence for those in Boston before the match today. Well done!
It's my doppelganger Brian McDermott's second match in charge today. Here are the line-ups at Elland Road:
Leeds - Kenny, Byram, Lees, Pearce, Warnock, Green, Austin, Tonge, Varney, Spitty, McCormack.
Burnley - Grant, Tripper, Shackell, Long, Mee, Kacaniklic, McCann, Marney, Wallace, Vokes, Peterson.
Kick off time - come on, you Whites!
I'd take a point today, if I'm being honest. Gooner on the other hand will want all three.
Oh - Pienaar sneaked in behind Mert but skied his effort.
Bolton have scored an early penalty through David N'Gog. They've come a long way back from trouble in the last month. Could well be this season's Reading.
Leicester now look as if they may well fall short of the play-offs again. That's a lot of investment in the side for failure two seasons in a row.
Everton have really bossed the opening exchanges of this match - they really seem up for it.
Wade Elliott has fired Brum into the lead against hapless Bristol City who I think will be relegated today if they lose.
Wade Elliott has fired Brum into the lead against hapless Bristol City who I think will be relegated today if they lose.
Brum still have an outside chance of making the play-offs but they'll need to win all three matches left.
Oh - Gibbs nearly takes advantage of a crazy sideways clearance by Hair Bear.
Darren Gibson is the first into the ref's book this evening.
Gibson is treading a very fine line with the referee now. He's been booked already and now has cynically blocked off Wilshere as he was running away. Lucky boy!
This one is getting pretty testy. PIenaar blocks off Theo and the crowd is howling for blood. Yellow.
Hey Bob,
I didn't think anyone would be on here
How's your day been?
I really don't want to go to work tonight!
Statisticians Opta: "Everton have netted 15 goals in the final 15 minutes of the first half of Premier League games; more than any other side."
Cardiff only need a point at home to Charlton to be able to sing the famous song
WE ARE PREMIER LEAGUE
WE ARE PREMIER LEAUGE
The Welsh are taking over the Prem... when will Wrexham make it!
Oh - Anichebe nearly got through but his final effort was smothered by Flappy.
SAF in the stands watching this one with United already in London for the Hammers game tomorrow
Blackburn continue their renaissance under new management, with yet another goal by Jordan Rhodes.
ooh, nice cross into the box.. Girroud hits one just wide
Good afternoon lads. I am here to join you briefly before my last class starts. I have been busy grading tests.
Blackburn are only three points above the drop... not much of a renaissance
Two quick goals in the Championship -
Ipswich are 1-0 up against Palace through Nouble.
And Leicester have leveled it against Bolton through another penalty - Chris Wood with the pen.
Hey MUR
Bob is ignoring me
Afternoon, lads - sorry I missed you coming on earlier. I'm enjoying a relaxing afternoon after my morning class.
I will be hoping Bolton can celebrate a victory with some crisps this evening.
BUGGER THE FOXES JUST TOOK A 2-1 LEAD.
Only three games left of the Championship season!
There he is. Some fixtures affect Leeds such as Blackburn vs Huddersfield as one of the teams needs to drop points.
Leicester have turned it around completely. Kieran Dyer with the go-ahead goal. 2-1.
That's right, UWS. After today, all we've got left is Huddersfield on Saturday followed by Brighton and Brum.
Half-time - another disappointing first half performance for the Gunners, but they do seem to pick up the momentum in the second half these days.
Half time
nil nil
I am off for walkies in between showers!
WOW! Ippy leading Palace 3-0. A shock!Cardiff 45 minutes away from clinching promotion to the BPL and Bristol City 45 minutes away from clinching relegation to League One.
Dogwalkies in the rain, mate? Sounds miserable.
Boro scored right before the interval. They're now up to 10th.
Ipswich are putting a major dent in Palace's play-off hopes - they're 3-0 up today.
I am back
We're back on at the Em and Mirallas has an early effort from distance. No real trouble for Flappy.
Luv being able to listen to Sky Sports Radio on the walk
According to the Guardian website, there was a scuffle between Mirallas and Wilshere in the tunnel as the teams walked off at half-time.
Any details on Sky radio, mate?
Good to the Blades are losing at home to Brentford
Shame Pompey and Hartlepool are both going down tonight without kicking a ball with an Oldham win
DId a bit of the Leeds United Calypso during half-time. Come on, you Whites!
I always like news about the Blades losing.
O'Grady has given Barnsley the lead against Derby early on in the second half.
There is a link on the the Sky website
Right now it is just audio of the panel but other times it is just sports news
The link is on the right side of the page

It's Leeds time
I'll check it out but if they start talking about golf or motocross or some other bollocks, I'm off.
Cheers, mate - it is, indeed.
Barnsley take the lead against Derby
That knocks Huddersfield in the bottom three
They do during a regular day. On Saturdays, they join the SS at 10 a.m.
Before that they go around all the sports
Wolves still odds on for a second straight relegation - what's going on at that club?!
Dangerous pressure from Everton - leads to a foul by Mert
Wolves have a life line! A rare goal against high flying Hull City by Kevin Doyle.
Everton still have Liverpool and Chelsea on their docket this season
Burnley have brought on two subs - it will be interesting to see what McDermott does in the next few moments.
Come on Dahlgren... make some difference on the Ellland Road touchline!!
penalty at Bramall Lane... to the host... hits the post... no goal
Yeah - those are the Super Sunday fixtures this weekend. Liverpool v. Chelski and Spurs v. Citeh.

YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
Good old Rudy Austin fires us into the lead at ER!
1-0!
my link went dead
Congrats!!!
Wolves lead Hull City. Bob will not be pleased, but a Leeds win should see just about ensure safety.
Do you think Jajielka should be England's center back
About thirty minutes now to hang onto what would be an excellent second win for McDermott's boys.
Yeah - I'd like to see Jags and Cahill as the two center backs.
Rudy's fourth goal of the season, by the way.
The Ox has come on for the Arse and looks full of running.
You're not going to hang on.. you're going to extend the lead
Dahlgren's half time pep talk does the business.
1-0 down and win 2-1
0-0 and now winning
Let's hope the Calypso does the trick.
Quiz Time

CHAMPIONSHIP UPDATE
Leeds take a deserved lead against Burnley as Rodolph Austin steers home El-Hadji Diouf's pass, a goal which could end any lingering worries about relegation.
Why didn't the OX shoot!!!!!!
Oh - how many chances does Giroud need to score!
And again - Giroud cannot score for toffee.
MUR will be delighted - his Bolton side leveled it at Leicester and are back up in the play-off spots.
Still no changes at Elland Road - McDermott is rolling the dice with the original starting XI.
BUGGER! THE FOXES LEAD BOLTON 3-2.
