I'm on a tasty First Row link for the match, which has just kicked off. The Mighty Whites is their irritating light and dark blue away ensemble. Not sure why we couldn't have worn traditional white today.
Here are the line-ups:
Boro - Given, Varga, Woodgate, Omeruo, Friend, Chalo, Leadbetter, Butterfield, Kamara, Main, Graham.
Leeds - Butland, Peliter, Wootton, Pearce, Warnock, Kebe, Murphy, Austin, Stewart, Hunt, Ross.
Warnock seems to have crocked himself with an awkward challenge.
Massimo Cellino, who looks like a cartoon mobster, is in the stands today. He's the Italian bloke who's trying to buy Leeds right now. Yikes!
Boro with most of the possession early doors.
Our own chum Jonathan Woodgate has given away a free kick in a good position for us. Come on!
Half-way through the first half - no real chances at either end as of yet.
Now's it Jimmy Kebe down for the count after a heavy challenge from Kamara. Get the card out, ref!
Chelski and Everton are about to kick off. Here are the teams there:
Chelsea: Cech, Azpilicueta, Terry (c), Cahill, Ivanovic, Matic, Lampard, Oscar, Willian, Hazard, Eto’o. Subs: Schwarzer, Cole, Ramires, Torres, Schurrle, Salah, Ba.
Everton: Howard, Baines, Distin, Jagielka (c), Coleman, Barry, McCarthy, Pienaar, Osman, Mirallas, Traore. Subs: Robles, Hibbert, McGeady, Deulofeu, Naismith, Barkley, Stones
Referee: Lee Probert
Good old Jack Charlton is in the crowd this afternoon. Luv him!
Kebe is brought down again and this time Probert gets the card out. Leadbitter into the book finally.
Oh - Luke Murphy is a whisker away from opening the scoring for us.
Oh - Great save, Jack Butland!
Half-time at the Riverside.
0-0 in the Premiership match as well.
We're back on at the Riverside.
Morning Bob
I am finally downstairs
I have been watching the match upstairs… Everton have been the better team.
How are you watching your beloved?
Just read you had a link
I was wondering if it was on BEIN
Last five minutes at the Bridge
I know that Everton are a bigger rival to United than Chelsea this season but I REALLY want Jose to lose at home!
Hey, mate - great to have you on board. I'm over at Kate's place, so I'm watching my beloved on a link.
Fingers crossed
Good to hear that the Toffees are on top - I'd love to see Chelski lose this weekend. They're tedious under Jose.
Bugger… Everton could and should have scored again
Chelsea are going to nick this!
The ten o'clocker is the Arsenal Sunderland match on USA
Crystal Pulis and United are on NBC

An hour gone at the Riverside. I'd like to see Brian get bold with this match.
Mirallis should have done better there
Thanks for the info, mate!
One last chance for Baines to knock it in the box.. comes to nothing
Half time
Warnock lunges in rashly and picks up a knock.
I am off to the store for a tad
I'll be back
What are you getting me, mate?
Less than five minutes now - it's looking like a goalless draw for sure.
Into stoppage time....
0-0 draw in the end. Another point in the bag. I can't complain. We're up to 10th. 43 points from 31 matches played. 7 points to get from 15 matches left.
I am back.. I got you nowt
Still scoreless at the Bridge
No Ozil in the starting line up
His perception has really gone downhill since the Fall
Under 10 to go
Surely Chelsea will nick it at the end
Into the last of the 90
Five added minutes
Everton are just hoofing the ball out of the box now
Please don't score Chelsea.. .you don't deserve it
I am heartbroken - you could have at least got me a Slim Jim, mate.
Free kick chance for Chelsea.. a bit of a dive by Ramieres
NOWT
Didn't get myself anything either!
BLOODY HELL!
I CALLED IT
TERRY HAS SCORED FOR CHELSEA
A nil-niller will certainly give the Arsenal the incentive to go out and win today in order to return to the top of the pops.
Bugger! Although that is good for most of us on the PPP.
I hate Jose's reaction… jerk!
Don't know if Terry got the touch. It may have been an OG from Howard
Oh dear....
That goal means a win by United today at Selhurst Park would put United in sixth
Corner to Chlelsea… is there time
To Everton not Chelsea… hopeless delivery
That should do it.. it is over
Off to the loo and walkies
I'll be back
Chelski are the most irritating side in the Premiership.
The teams now lining up in the tunnel at the Em:
Arsenal: Szczesny; Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal; Arteta, Wilshere, Cazorla, Rosicky, Podolski; Giroud.
Subs: Oxlade-Chamberlain, Flamini, Fabianski, Sanogo, Bendtner, Jenkinson, Gnabry.
Sunderland: Mannone; Bardsley, Vergini, O’Shea, Alonso; Bridcutt, Colback, Johnson, Ki; Borini, Altidore.
Subs: Larsson, Gardner, Celustka, Giaccherini, Cuellar, Scocco, Ustari.
Referee: Andre Marriner (W Midlands)
Arsenal kick us off the moment that USA get to the coverage. Phew!
GOAL! That didn't take long. Olivier Giroud strokes home after a great team move.
1-0 Arse!
Soton are 0-1 up at West Ham thanks to a goal from Yoshida.
Fatty Huddlestone has put Hull City 0-1 up over Cardiff, who are down in the dumps these days.
Matty Jarvis has equalized for the Hammers - 1-1 at Upton Park now.
And now Carlton Cole has put the Hammers 2-1 up - what a turnaround!
We're down to 12th now, with Wigan, Burnley and Leicester all up.
GOAL! Giroud doubles Arsenal's advantage after a disastrous backpass!
2-0!
Leicester are 2-0 up - Nuge with the second. They're definite for the title.
That helps - Bolton have taken the lead over Watford - back up to 11th.
Burnley are running riot over Forest in the top of the table clash.
GOAL! Bloody hell - Rosicky scores a sumptuous goal there, right out of the training pitch. Sunderland can't even get near them.
3-0!
Hull are 0-2 up now, so it looks as if they and Sunderland will remain in the dropzone. Fulham, in contrast are 0-1 up at WBA, so they'll benefit.
Just got back from a long walk in mild weather as the half time whistle goes at the Em
Top of the Table clash in League 1
Wolves take the lead at Brentford
Stoke playing well at the Etihad but as Chelsea did this morning.. .Citeh will win
Cambridge still struggling . Just pegged back to 1-1
They were far ahead in the table a while back but now they are way behind Luton
Braintree are playing their first game since Bob's birthday!!!!
Underway again in North London
As I said, if United win today they will go ahead of Eveton but the Toffees will have a game in hand
A couple of changes made by Poyet… are they off because of the Cup Final next week or did they just suck
I am off to do some errands.. LOB will manless for a while
I am off to do some errands.. LOB will manless for a while
Back from an extra long shower and the Arsenal are 4-0 up now, thanks to a goal from Koz. Blimey! How bad are Sunderland?
Sorry I missed you, mate. I'll be around for a bit until the end of this match and then I have to run some errands.
The Emirates crowd giving the home side the "Ole" treatment now.
Serge Gnabry comes on for the goalscorer Rosicky.
Gnabry is straight into the action, but slips as he goes to score.
Sebby Larsson, the Arsenal old boy, nearly gets a consolation goal back.
Now Sunderland do have a consolation goal, Jacorini with a belter.
4-1
Leeds are still in 11th on 43 points, given that Bolton are leading Watford 2-0.
Back for a bit as WBA score the equalizer against Fulham… under the keeper's body… goal line technology in use
Shame that Citeh scored!
I called it just like at the Bridge
Definite goal there
How were your errands, mate?
Fine
Still working on the bathroom

I'm skyping Tony right now.
I have BBC Final Score on his telly
That's that - Arsenal with a comprehensive win there against a rubbish Sunderland.
USA straight on to the thriller at the Hawthorns. Brilliant coverage!
Oh - Brunt nearly won it there - Stekelenberg saved well at the near post.
West Ham beat Sotton 3-1…. they are 10th… so much for relegation
Late goal at the Valley… Charlton take the lead against QPR
Ravel Morrison on loan from WH missed two easy chances before that goal
Great win for the Hammers today - 3-1 over Soton.
Ended 1-1 at the Hawthorns
I'm off, mate. Good luck to the Red Devils this afternoon. Cheerio!
Take care Bob
I'lll be off too
I don't want to talk all negative about United by myself!
TTFN
Half time at Selhurst Park
Scoreless
BLOODY PATHETIC

TOTALLY DISGUSTED!
