Arsenal were a little lucky yesterday!
I was watching an ITV link and Roy Keane didn't like how Arsenal celebrated. They didn't win anything and they just narrowly beat WIGAN ATHLETIC on PENALTIES
NBC showing a Hillsborough story
I am about to leave for Matt's game
I leave you with this….
Can I stomach Liverpool winning the league?
They have played brilliantly and love to attack like my beloved used to do!
Do I want MONEYBAGS Citeh to win it?
SO CONFUSED!
GOTTA GO
Good morning UWS. I just woke up and here to join you for the big match if you are still around.
A moment of silence.
They're off from Anfield.
Surely , Liverpool will win. They will be up for this match and I expect their fans to lift them
Mark Clattenburg has booked Suarez for a nasty foul on Di Michelis.
GOAL !!! 1-0 POOL
STERLING SCORES EASILY [PAST HART AND POOL ARE UP EARLY.
sTURRIDGE WINS A CORNER.
sTURRIDGE WINS A CORNER.
The corner eludes everyone, but HGnderson hustles to keep it in play.
Back to the goal: Suarez had been booked. Hart took a long free kick, Skrtel headed it forward as did Coutinho. Henderson p[assed to Suarez , who outmuscled Clichy. His pass found Sterling, who easily dummied Bad Kompany, leaving him on his arse, then picked his spot past Hart,,
Back from a really long trip to the bog and still 1-0
No Yaya today as stated by uWS and Arlo. That will hurt Citeh. Now Javi Garcia is booked for a foul from behind on Henderson.
Navas wins Citeh's first corner. Headed away by Flanagan then Silva called for a foul on Suarez.
Sturridge wins a corner off of Di Michelis
What a save by Hart from a Stevie G header from close range off the corner from Coutinho. Superbly tipped over.
GOAL !!! 2-0 POOL SRTEL HEADS IN THE NEXT CORNER, FROM STEVIE G, INTO THE CORNER. THE FIRST HEADER WAS A FREE HEADER, BUT THE SECOND ONE WAS SUPERBLY PLACED.
Superb counter from Pool A long ball found Suarez and his through ball found Sturridge , who won a corner off of Hart. Sturridge headed into the ground and straight to Hart off the corner.
St. Johnstone have tied it up vs Aberdeen in the second Scottish Cup semi. The winner faces Dundee United in the final./
Stevie G tackles Jerko for a Citeh corner.
Mignolet punches away the corner and Clichy does well to prevent another Pool counter.
Coutionho has a pass blocked by fellow Brazi, Fernandinho , and it takes a lucky bounce for a corner. The corner from Coutinho is cleared.,
Jerko fouled by Coutinho just outside the D.
A low free kick from Silva is straight into the wall and Clichy crosses straight to Mignolet.
A rare Citeh attack as they superbly countered and Silva heads wide from a cross by Navas . A corner was awarded. Nasri took and first Stevie G cleared a header off the line from Kompany then what looked like Glen Johnson did. Actaully Sterling and Skrtel did. A counter started by Mignolet came to nothing./
Into two minutes of stoppage tme.
Suarez wins a corner off of Kompany.
Hart punches away the corner and Pool lead 2-0 at the half. I really don't see them blowing a two goal lead.

I n between my comments , during a late flurry of action, Navas put in an audacious chip, and Mignolet superbly saved a volley from Fernandinho. A throw was conceded and Nasri was booked for kicking out at Suarez.
Didi Haman , who played for both clubs, providing expert analysis.
Hiya, Dave - thanks for keeping the home fires burning. I'm sorry I'm not available this morning. I'm picking up a search candidate at the airport. Just checking in to read your notes on the first half.
St.Johnstone have come from behind to defeat Aberdeen 2-1 and will play Dundee United in the Scottish Cup Final.
Hello Bob. I just left a message on your cell. You can disregard. This match and title race seem to be done and dusted. Dave at Matt's match.
The second half is underway.
Nice anoraking by Arlo. the teams met 37 years ago today for a title decider at Anfield with the teams in first an second place. Pool won 2-1 . Steve Heighway and Kevin Keegan scored in that match as Pool won the title by a single point. Pool have led by two or more goals eighteen time this season and won every single time!
A bare chested Milner getting ready to come on. We didn't need to see that. Bob may beg to differ.
WOW !!! Milner came on for Navas. a bold change.
Superb tackle by Skrtel on Fernandinho.
Suarez took a dive , trying to get past Di Michelis and was not booked. He's already on a yellow and Citeh players are livid as they surround Clattenburg. He waved the players off and explained the decision to Kompany.
Silva has a goal disallowed and the replay showed that the ball had gone inches out of play before Milner passed to Silva.
GOAL !!!! MATCH ON AS MILNER RECEIVED A PASS DOWN THE RIGHT FROM KOMPNAY . HE PLAYED A NICE ONE TWO WITH FERNBANDINHO THEN MILNER GOT BEHIND FLANAGAN AS HIS PASS WAS DIVERTED IN BY SILVA.
Pool counter as they struggled to clear a past from Milner, but it came to nothing.
OH! Silva had a shot blocked by Skrtel then Jerko was inches away from diverting his pass in.
Poo counter off aCiteh corner and Zaba tackle s Sturridge for a Pool, corner.
The corner from Coutinho is cleared.
GOAL !!! DESMOND. THIS IS A CLASSIC!
I can't tell whether it was an OG by Stevie G or by Mignolet off the cross by Silva. Citeh were Pool in disguise as they countered off a Pool corner and after lots of intricate passing, the goal was scored.
Suarez went down easily off a challenge , looking for a pen and Clattenburg was having none of it.
Joe Allen on for the injured Sturridge.
Great save by Mignolet from Jerko . Now AGUERO IS ON FOR jERKO.
Arlo stated that the last time Pool lost after being two up was March 21, 2012 when they lost 3-2 at QPR
The goal was credited as a Glen Johnson OG.
Suarez offside as he forced Hart into a great save,
Henderson well offside as he passed and the goal from Suarez was called off.
I would think that Jose would want the match to end now.
OH!!! silva misses a sitter as aguero dummied skrtel down the left and silva failed to divert his pass into an open goal
Zaba booked for Citeh
GOAL !!! 3-2 POOL AS COUTINHO SCORES WHAT COULD BE A VITAL GOAL!
A horrible mistake by Bad Kompany as he whiffed off a Pool throw and Coutinho shot first time in the corner.
Joe Allen concedes a corner.
The corner from Milner was headed away then Silva wins a corner off of Stevie G. Mignolet saves a header from Di Michelis off the next corner.
Suarez offside off a through ball from Joe Allen.
Clumsy challenge by Coutinho on Zaba.
The free kick headed up into the air by Johnson and Mignolet fists away.
Suarez offside again , this time off a through ball from Sterling.
Victor Moses on for Coutinho, who gets a standing ovation.
Skrtel heads out a long cross for a Citeh corner. Five minutes of stoppage time.
Mignolet catches the corner.
WOW! A straight red for Henderson on Nasri. What was he thinking? He will miss three out of the last four matches in the title run in
Henderson red faced?
Lucas on for Sterling, who gets a standing ovation.
There may be an extra minute played due to the red card and the substitution.
It's over and Pool win a classic 3-2. Surely the tile is heading to Anfield.
It will be decided in a fortnight when Pool host Chelski , who now must win at Swansea in the next match. The Swans need to win too as they are in the midst of a relegation battle.
Back for the late match as Swansea hosts Chelski.
A minute of silence observed at both Wembuhlay and the Liberty Stadium.
They're off from Wembley
They're off from the Liberty Stadium
Cech saves easily from Pablo Hernandez. Great start from the Swans,.
The match at Wembley started 41 seconds before the one in South Wales.
No real chances at Wembley , but played at a lightning fast pace.
Chelsea should have taken the lead as Salah shot just wide, unmarked in the box. Schurrle Temple played Ivanovic down the right and Salah missed a sitter from his great pass.
In the semi , Brucey up against the Evil Blades. That was his first managerial job as he was in charge for the 1998-99 season.
Andre Marriner officiating at a cup semi despite sending off the wrong player when Chelsea faced Arsenal and gifting Chelsea a draw vs the Baggies. No accountability.
Lengthy possession by the Swans despite an atrocious pass by Shelvey after being put through down the left,.
The Evil Blades have started the better team and are aiming to become the first third tier team to make the cup final.
Cech catches a corner from Ben Davies.
Hull facing the pressure as David Meyler is booked for a nasty foul on Scougall.
Chico Flores booked for a foul on Willian on the break.
Chico Flores , just booked fouls Schurrle just outside the box and Jose wants a second yellow and gets his wish. Garry Monk is livid and has words for Jose , who he feels influenced the decision. Chelsea players influenced Phil Dowd.
Into the wall by Schurrle Temple.
Chelsea win a corner.
Poor corner by cleared and Swansea win a free kick
GOAL !!! THE EVIL BLADES TAKE THE LEAD AND ARE THINKING ABOUT A CUP FINAL APPEARANCCE
Brayford took a throw and received it book , then Jose Baxter diverted his pass in at the near post , beating James Chester, his marker.
The replay shows that it was an OG by James Chester.
Adat came on for Nathan Dyer , who was sacrificed due to the sending off.
Scougall in the wars as he was fouled by Maynor Figueroa.
For some reason, Brucey is letting the fourth official have it.
Scougall shoots wide from the D and Nigel is none too pleased.
The Blades keeper was fouled off a corner from Fatty
Mark Howard has thirteen clean sheets in twenty appearances for the Blades.
I thought Dyer was subbed , but he's still on as Schurrle Temple fouls Leon Britton. The free kick from SHelvey is headed away
Fatty lectured for a poor foul on Doyle.
Sorry I missed this morning's classic - I've got it DVRed at home and will look forward to watching it later. Thanks for all of the commentary today, mate.
The free kick is headed away for a throw near the corner flag.
willian curls a shot high and wide to the delight of the Swansea fans,
Ivanovic heads over from a corner by Willian that was conceded by Ashley Williams trying to be too fancy.,
GOAL !!!! 1-1 SAGBO TIES IT UP FOR THE TIGERS. FOR ONCE , HULL CITY HAD A GREAT SPELL OF POSSESION AND JAKE LIVERMORE PUT IN A GREAT PASS THAT SAGBO PUT INTO THE ROOF OF THE NET AT THE FAR POS BOB WILL BE DLEIGHTED.
Two minutes of stoppage time at wembley as Brucey still looks none too pleased. Sagbo well offside.
Also two minutes at the Liberty
Halftime at Wembley and 1-1 . I expect the Fergie treatment from Brucey
Salah shoots well wide off a nice Chelsea possession.
Halftime and 0-0 at the Liberty. Jose looking livid as his side have been held by a ten man side struggling against relegation.
BLOODY HELL! I can't believe I missed the Blades second goal, scored about a minute or two after the equalizer. Murphy went easily down the left past Rosenior and Scougall diverted his pass in.
The Blades deservedly lead 2-1 at the half and Brucey will be giving a halftime talk Fergie style.
Hey MUR
I am home
I was wondering why you thought it was still 1-1 at Wemberly!!
Two changes made by Brucie
We're off
PIP for me right now as well as listening to talksport commentary from Wales
Jose making two changes too
Teams attacking their own fans in the second half
DESMOND at Wembley!!
GOAL !!!! DESMOND AT WEMBLEY. THREE AND A HALF MINUTES INTO THE SECOND HALF.
Matty Fryatt with a tap in… wide open inside the six
Hull almost in again but offside
Poor defending from the Blades off the corner and diverted in by Matty Fryatt a halftime sub.
Welcome UWS. It's a great match at wembley
Absolutely
A double substitution at the half from Jose as Oscar came on for Ramires and Etoo'o for Schurrle Temple. Chelsea going with two up front.
How did Matt's team do?
GREAT GOAL BY HUDDLESTONE!!
Straight thru thru middle!
GOAL !!! FATTY GIVES HULL CITY A 3-2 LEAD. HIS FIRST EVER FA CUP GOAL
They won 4-2
Matt scored a couple
Brucie with a jig
fATTY PLAYED A NICE ONE TWO AND WNET STRAIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE SCORINWITH A NICE CURLING FINISH PAST MARK HOWARD.,
You could see the goal happening
Great run
Great one two
Great finish
well done. It might be the same score in this EL playoff match,.
I agree . They finally showed their Prem class and the hairdryer treatment from Brucey is really working.
How is Matty Fryatt hull's top scorer when he hasn't started a single match all season? Has that ever happened?
Struth… the Blades almost in there !!
Should have gotten a shot off
Nice saving tackle but touch was too far away from him
great football from the Blades and Flynn was tackled before he could get a shot off. NIgel not pleased.
Eto'o and Ba have been well off target with their last two efforts.
The FA Cup Final is rightly been played in its proper spot this season
The weekend AFTER the Premier League finishes
Amat clears for a Chelsea corner as the Blues are turning the screw. Ba straight at worm off the corner then Routledge has a shot come off of JT for a corner as he was on his arse.
So… if Liverpool win the league..sigh…it would be the first time since 1990… England made the World Cup Semi Final…. same again?
SHelvey heads just wide from the corner
I doubt it for England.
ANgel Rangel clears across from Willian for a corner.
Shut it… think positive!
WORm punches away a cross from Willian for another corner
Stephen Quinn, the ex Blade, on for Sagbo.
Being realistic instead of positive. It's more fantasizing than being positive.
Meyler heads wide off a Hull corner.
START DREAMING!!!!!
GOAL!!!
ANOTHER SUB SCORES FOR HULL
4-2
GOAL !!! 4-2 HULL CITY AND SURELY HEADED TO THEIR FIORST EVER CUP FINAL.
Another nice move for the Hull goal
Meyler played Rosenior down the right and his cross was easily headed in by the unmarked Quinn. The first goal in thirteen months scored on the thirteenth by the Mighty Quinn.
Same score as Matt's match
BUGGER !!! BA GIVES CHELSEA THE LEAD.
Russell Pope: Breaking News- Jose Mourinho has just booked a double decker bus on the 27th April. Destination Anfield goalmouth
The Blades won their fiorst corner of the match and head tennis in the box before Flynn shot over with an overhead kick.
JOse is an idiot.
A really poor goal to concede. it was a really simple goal as Chelsea took a throw in their own half and Matic hoofed it clear. Ba took a soft long shot and it went under WOrm's body.
Ba did what strikers need to do… hit the target and let the keeper worry about it
What do you think about the answer to my trivia question.
Ngog on for Dyer. I don't see him threatening the Chelsea defense.
True, UWS. That's all he could do.
Liverpool's final four matches
Norwich A
Chelsea H
Palace A
Newcastle H
Will they win the lot?
They've already won ten on the spin!
Their last dropped points was at The Hawthorns on Feb 2… drew 1-1
What trivia question?
IF they beat Chelsea then definitely yes.
Matty Fryatt is Hull City's top scorer even though he has not started a match all season. I don't remember that ever happening. Do you?
Obi Wan on for Ba as Jose is going for the 0-1 win.
SaLah with a nice tricky run and his pass for Eto'o is cut out for a corner. The corner sails out of play.
BLAdes top Chris Porter, is on for Scougall and Ben Davies , on loan from Clough's former club , Derby is on for Jose Baxter
European qualification for the FA Cup Finalist doesn't necessarily going to happen. If Arsenal finish 5th, and win the Cup 7th would be in Europe. If Hull win, then Arsenal would go into Europa League as 5th
eto'o down after taking one to the bread basket.
SO Arsenal in the EL either way if they finish fifth. Thanks for the update,.
JUST wide by eto'o and Obi Wan with a requisite booking.
Salah wins a corner off a nice solo run.
But 7th may still be in the running for EL
We thought that was out because the Cup Winner(or runner up) would take the EL Spot because Arsenal would be in the CL
SO if Arsenal finish fifth and win the Cup United and the SPUds definitely in the EL.
4-3 at Wembley!!!
90th minute
GOAL !!! THE BALDES SCORE AND IT'S 4-3
3 added minutes
Three minutes of stoppage time.
A GRandstand finish at wembley
Great job by United… they're almost getting this all the way back
5-3 !!!!
GOAL !!! 5-3 AS MEYLER SCORESON THE BREAK AS THE BLADES WERE CHASING AN EQUALIZER.
EIGHT GOALS IN A SEMI FINAL!!
WOW!!!!!
Great assist from Rosenior
Hull City make their first final as they win a classic 5-3
Highest semi since 1959…beating Palace's 4-3 win against Pool… in 1990… last year Pool won the league!
JUst over a minute remaining at the Liberty
Guess who plays next week…
Hull vs Arsenal!!!
History will probably repeat itself.
Chelsea win 1-0… hate em… boring
THEY BETTER NOT WIN THE LEAGUE
