Who on earth knows what's going on with my mighty Whites these days. Apparently after having been sacked last Friday, Brian Mac turned up at training on Monday and the lads said to him, "Where were you this weekend!?" The saga continues....
The line-ups this morning -
Yeovil - Stech, Ayling, Webster, Duffy, McAllister, Dawson, Lundstram, Edwards, Grant, Miller, Moore.
Leeds, Kenny, Byram, Lees, Pearce, Warnock, Murphy, Austin, Mowatt, Kebe, Ross, Stewart.
I'm onto a link on First Row now. Wahay!
Looks like we're playing on a non-league ground. Bloody Norah!
Oh - Kieffer Moore nearly on the end of that cross. Bit of a let-off for us.
Apparently Yeovil Town have the worst home record in the league - hope that continues today.
Appalling conditions today - really windy and rainy. I wouldn't want to be those away supporters this morning.
Oh - great ball by Warnock but Kebe was just offside.
Oh - Stewart found Ross really well. Ross put it on his left peg but then scuffed his shot. Shame.
End to end stuff now - Moore tried a curler but it was wide of the target.
Pool v. Arse starts up in a few minutes. Here are the teams warming up at Anfield.
Liverpool: Mignolet, Flanagan, Skrtel, Toure, Cissokho, Coutinho, Gerrard, Henderson, Suarez, Sterling, Sturridge.
Subs: Brad Jones, Alberto, Aspas, Moses, Allen, Ibe, Kelly.
Arsenal: Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Arteta, Wilshere, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ozil, Cazorla, Giroud.
Subs: Rosicky, Podolski, Fabianski, Bendtner, Jenkinson, Gibbs, Gnabry.
Referee: Michael Oliver (Northumberland)
Half way through the first half and we're doing reasonably well with the conditions as they are. We'll have the wind in the second half.
Great block by Lees on Edwards as he lined up the shot.
Great to see Brian back on the bench today.
I am here for a while Robert
Good morning mate
Are you watching the Leeds match on the tellie?
Luke Murphy can swing a free kick now...
dropped favorably for Yeovil.
Morning, mate - I'm at my girlfriend Kate's trying not to wake her up, so I'm on the laptop with the earbuds in watching on First Row.
Great to have you on board this morning. What are you up to today?
No screaming then when Leeds score six again
Half hour now, with the Pool v. Arse match kicking off from Anfield. Free kick to Yeovil.
BUGGGGGERRRRR!!!!!
Miller scores for Yeovil. Grrr!
STRUTH
WHATA START
Skyrtl puts Liverpool ahead in less than a minute
He could have been offside
Simple goal - inswinging corner and Miller beat Rudy to the ball. Poor defending from us.
I really need Liverpool to lose this
Headed goal from a corner by Skrtel?
It's the first time in Yeovil's history that they've had a lead against us.
Rooney was on Five Live yesterday conceding the title.
A free kick that was swinging in. I think it went in off his foot
Bloody hell - these set pieces are annoying me.
Well, so he should!
We need 4th
United's USA tour could be hurt by the bloody Europa League
I'm over this winter right now. How about you, mate?
WEEKS AGO
Oh - Grant nearly lobbed Kenny there. Could easily have been two.
It's been the toughest winter I've seen up here. What about you?
Ruddy Norah… TWO NIL… SAME BLOKE!!!
Oh - Ross tried the cheeky lob now. Just didn't get it right and he's getting the "Wanker, wanker, wanker" treatment from the home support.
Skrtel again!?
A looping header over the the Ox on the line
Two goals in the opening 10 minutes!
I have SS link going strong
Bloody hell - Sam Byram has given away a penalty now!
Sturridge was one on one with a great passing move but he clips it over the keeper but just wide
Now Suarez should have scored!!
Come on Paddy!
Oh - Miller has missed it! Rockets off the crossbar and heads toward the Tescos behind the stand.
As Paul Merson would say, "ooh, he's hit me car!"
Leeds fans singing, "What the f---, what the f---, what the f---ing hell was that!?"
Yes it was Skrte
WHAT A SHOT BY SUAREZ OFF THE POST AND THEN THE REBOUND WAS KNOCKED WIDE
I hope Steve isn't waatching… it should be four!!l
He'll know doubt be watching with a cuppa by his side and his Arsenal blankie on, waking up the dog with his cursing.
That shot by Suarez was a rocket and the rebound was an open net… but hit wide
We keep giving up free kicks in dangerous areas.
THREE NIL!!!
STERLING!!!!
I don't believe this! 16 minutes!!!
Liverpool are attacking with such pace!!!!
Half-time then - 1-0 Yeovil. Hoping for some wind-assisted goals from us in the second half.
STRUTH!!!
FOUR!!!!
STURRIDGE!!
19 minutes…. four goals
I am stunned!
Liverpool are just running riot
Time between goals 1 and 4
18 min and 25 secs
United play Arsenal on Wednesday
United could be out of the running for fourth.
What do Liverpool have with S's
Skrtel, Sterling, Sturridge!
Suarez hasn't even scored…yet
Good morning lads. Looks like Arsenal and Yours Truly overslept.
Morning MUR
Liverpool have been unbelievable!
They have been attacking with such pace like United USED TO
Liverpool are taking a breather right now
Arsenal fans singing their love for the Arse
Can the Arse get a gaol before half time to give them a little hope
I was hoping for a draw or and Arsenal win today. United need to close the gap. The two other teams above us play each other tomorrow
What the hell is Monreal doing? Suarez barely tapped him.
When did Leeds equalize?
where's Bob waking up his girlfriend!
13:25:
Yeovil 1-1 Leeds
Yeovil keeper Marek Stech is kicking against the wind in the second half and his first clearance travels about 20 yards before coming back towards the home goal. Leeds striker Ross McCormack takes advantage by brilliantly curling in a 22-yard effort. All square.
Morning, lads! I've just come back from the shower and we've equalized! Wahay! Ross with the goal, of course. His 23nd of the season.
LIverpool are now boring!
The were extraordinary in the first 20 minutes
United are TEN points behind fourth now… oh dear
Yeovil giving up loads of free kicks now. Austin to take...
No - it was Ross and he hit it straight into the wall.
Wilshire witha STUPID foul
He's a thug… just like Rooney
Not sure if he got carded or not
wilshere should have been booked by now.
Stuuridge too far in front of Suarez.
Classic
P is for PANTS for Arsenal
Is this the day Arsenal's title hopes went byebye? The Gunners sure have shot themselves in the foot?
Oh - Ross was nearly in again.
Corner… hat-trick time?
Here comes one of the S's
Poor corner
Not sure this will change anything at the top.
Arsenal won the title here 25 years ago and have probably lost it here today. Payback is a bitch
Half time!
Liverpool suck
They haven't scored for TWENTY-FIVE minutes!!
Liverpool lead the league leaders by FOUR at the half.
YESSSSS!!!!!!!
Warnock puts us in front!
1-2!
Inswinging free kick that went all the way in - wind-assisted.
What a difference a week makes - we're up to 8th on 42 points and back in contention for that playoff spot.
Leeds take the lead!!!
Oh - Kebe was inches away from another goal. We're rampant now with the wind at our backs.
Fifteen minutes left - I'd love the cushion of another goal.
Congrats Bob. This would be a much need win
I can't get a link because it's blocked by my virus protection.
A free kick for the Gunners as Henderson has been booked
Carzola takes and it's deflected for a corner.
Headed out by Toure and given away by the Gunners
Hang in there, lads!
Oh - Moore did well to beat Rudy but then shot horribly wide.
I am back from the loo
Liverpool haven't scored!!
Liverpool get a gift a corner
Free kick taken by Suarez and headed over by my GBB. Came off his shoulder. A corner given depsite that.
Oh - Kebe blows another big chance. He needs four or five good chances to score one.
I missed far more goals from extra kip than you ever did in the loo. I really ashamed.
FIVE NIL
Sterling nets at the second asking.. it was two on none!
Celtic losing to Aberdeen at Parkhead in the Scottish Cup
FIVE!!! STERLING SCORESAS HE WAS PUT THROUGH. HIS INITIAL SHOT WAS SAVED THEN PUT AWAY THE REBOUND. GREAT THROUGH BALL FROM TOURE.
Oh - Smith and Ross combine well but Stech did well to keep out ther the shot.
Another S scores for Pool
S, S, S, S and S with the goals
Nice one, UWS. The day Arsenal's title hopes went down the drain
Bloody Norah - that's a historic loss for Arsenal.
Biggest ever win for Pool over the Arse was five nil in 1964!
Speaking of 1964
I won't be here for the entire morning
I am off birthday present shopping today
Kathy joins Bob in the 50 club on Thursday Feb 13
Celtic have tied it up vs Aberdeen and it's halftime
Struth.. I thought Sterling had hit six. Wrong side of the net at the back post
Wonder what Arsene will say after this…. they haven't been at the races the ENTIRE GAME!!
They at least scored two against United in the 8-2
Nearly a sixth as a free kick from Stevie G was headed on by Sturridge and Sterling didn't know much about it as it came off him and Suedio and just wide
Aberdeen retook the lead in the 50th minute
Was that attempt on goal!
Not sure that's true - Arsenal will be there or there abouts.
Not sure what is true
More stupidity by Wilshere
Wishing Kathy a very Happy Birthday.
What's happening at Yeovil
Thanks Dave
My brother, A Pool fan, texted me and asked if I'm watching
Arsenal making changes
Giroud off for Podolski
Ozil off for Rosicky
I would have taken off Wilshere.. he will probably get a red before the day is done
Into five minutes of stoppage time now - hang on!
Again, United visit the Em on Wednesday
My brother wants six.
30 to go at Parkhead
One last chance for Yeovil from a corner. Come on, lads!
Suedio superbly tips over a free kick from Suarez
Yeovil waste it at the near post. Phew!
Wahay! Two wins on the bounce now. Well done, lads - we seem to have weathered the worst of it.
I'l be back for the 10am kickoffs.
WAY HAY!!! Leeds hold on to for a much need 1-2 win at Yeovil. I am delighted for our Bob. Congratulations.
Congrats Bob
Hibs are losing at home to Raith Rovers
Joe Allen on for my GBB, who gets a deserved standing ovation.
Could have been six, but Henderson got it horribly wrong off a through ball from Coutinho.
Well… it was Henderson!
A penalty!!
Stupid challenge by Gerrard
Arteta steps up.. 1-5
The Kop join in the cheering for the Gunners goal
Arsenal score a consolation goal and are mocked by Pool fans as former Toffee, Arteta scores from the spot after Stevie G tripped the Ox in the box.
Decent effort by Arteta saved by Minny
Suedio saves well from Coutinho.
My brother not happy. Thought the penalty was a dive . I disagreed.
Definite hack by Stevie
Steveie G off and replaced by 18 year old Jordan Ibe, making a Prem debut.
He told me it was a pen. Was talking about Wilshere winning a cheap free kick off Stevie G. I misunderstood.
Suarez has a shot blocked on the break.
Suarez really wants his goal… fails to get his shot off
This will be a huge psychological blow for the Gunners. A turning point in the title race?
Six minutes left at Parkhead
The Dons still winning
I hope it hurts them on Wednesday!
Suarez off without scoring
Suarez off for Aspas. Hard to believe Pool scored five and he was not amongst the scorers
Sterling almost gets his ht
Sterling through and off the keepers legs for a corner. The corner from Stevie G headed away
well over by Debut boy, Ibe. he had the confidence with that solo run.
Toure gets it right with the back pass , unlike last week.
Ox has a shot deflected for a corner.
Arsenal could be down to third at the end of the day
Wenger shaking his head.
Three minutes of stoppage time.
Merte heads a free kick from arteta straight to Mignolet.
Game over
A well and truly ROASTING

Cissoko shoots wide off nice one touch passing and that's it as Pool with a fantastic 5-1 win vs the Gunners
