Dog Days of Summer Footie
I'm thinking the same as this dog as I will be inside, escaping the South Texas heat. I will be watching Capital One Cup Action as well as the UEFA Super Cup. The Fake Dons vs The Real Dons play in the Capital One cup Bein televised on BEIN while Real vs Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup is being televised on FS1. Both matches kick off at 2:45 EDT and make sure to stay cool and hydrated.

Both matches are in the UK. The Super Cup match is being played at Cardiff!
Afternoon, mate - I'm here for the start of the festivities. The delivery may interrupt proceedings for me but I'm hoping that the Leeds boys can bounce back from the bad loss to Evil Millwall over the weekend with a tasty win against "Who?" today.
And we're underway in the 1st Round of the League Cup. Here's the team news out of Elland Road:
Leeds - S. Taylor, Berardi, Wootton, Pearce, C. Taylor, Tonge, Cook, Bianchi, Ajose, Smith, Doukane. Subs: Silvestri, Byram, Austin, Killock, Poleon, Bendicic, Hunt.
Accrington - Simpson, Buxton, Aldred, Winnard, Mustoe, Mingola, Hunt, Windass, Naismith, Gray, Alabi: Subs: Lynch, Liddle, McCartan, Hatfield, Martin, Atkinson, Bowerman.
I've got a lovely link up through First Row for the Gillette Soccer Special.
Good afternoon, Bob. Great to have you on board.
Poor form that the stadium is nearly empty for the Dons Derby. Really disgraceful
Bristol City are 1-0 up over Oxford early doors.
Brentford are 0-1 up at Dagenham.
I am using the PIP option. I have the Dons Derby and the Super Cup match on at the same time.
Brentford are 0-2 up - over the hill and far away. Dagenham's League Cup campaign is just about over.
Not a Big Club have taken the lead vs Notts County.
Port Vale are 1-0 up over Hartlepool early doors.
Bugger! That is bad news.
Did you know that Real vs Sevilla is being played at Cardiff Stadium?
Yeah - either you or UWS mentioned that.
Bugger - Not a Big Club are 2-0 up already.
Jack Smith is down injured for the Real Dons. The replay showeit was a hard , but fair tackle.
Must have been me. UWS told me that he would be at FDR's house today.
Six changes by Hockaday today, a combination of Academy kids and Italian purchases. Yikes!
Skippy has a free kick deflected over. The corner from Modric is headed away then Bale has a shot deflected for a corner.
Forest have taken the lead at Tranmere.
Sounds like Hockaday is tanking the Capital One Cup match, his first time ever in charge of one.
Contrasting fortunes on the South Coast. Portsmouth are 1-0 over Peterboro while Argyle are trailing at home to Leyton Orient.
Clattenburg the ref for the Super Cup match. Pleat the colour commentator for the match
Two quick goals and Port Vale have turned it around. They're 2-1 up against Hartlepool.
Brum take the lead vs Cambridge United.
Oh dear - Pleat will be lusting after Monkey Boy Bale's thrusting thighs all evening long.
The best chance of the match for the Real Dons. The Keeper fumbled a near post effort then the rebound was shot tamely to the keeper.
GOAL! The Fake Dons take the lead.
Port Vale are 3-1 up now - a hat-trick within twenty minutes.
It was a cheeky back heel volley at the near post from a corner. How about that?
Bugger! That's a shame.
UWS will be pleased that Pompey have taken the lead vs Young Fergie.
YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!
Doukare scores his debut goal at Elland Road and our first of the season.
1-0 Leeds!
Agreed . it doesn't get much better. Orient have taken the lead at Argyle.
WAY HAY! I'm delighted. Isn't he Ross';s replacement? That's encouraging news.
Daggenham pull one back vs Brentford.
The Fake Dons win a corner and Bob will be pleased to hear that the travelling Real Dons fans refuse to give the ball back.
Hard to say. I had heard that he plays a bit wider than Ross did but I haven't seen him play yet. Good news though regardless.
A new ball is given and the Real Dons struggle to clear the corner. They've already conceded once from a corner.
Well in the Real Dons fans.
Another Fake Dons corner and the Real Dons counter but lose possession.
The Fake Dons nearly score from that lost possession, shooting just wide from long range,.
Skippy misses a sitter , shooting right at the keeper with just the keeper to beat. He does get a corner out of it.
Charlton take the lead vs Colchester.
Bugger - Evil Millwall have taken the lead against Wycombe Wanderers.
Middlesbrough take the lead at Oldham while Walsall do the same at Southend and Gillingham do the same at Yeovil.
Real take the lead vs Sevilla
Skippy, right?
Skippy volleyed home a great cross from Bale at the far post. Great run down the left from Monkey Boy.

In the late kick-off, Bolton are 0-1 down to Bury. Bolton also lost at the weekend.

WELL DONE, BOB. WHO SCORED THE SECOND LEEDS GOAL?
Well done. A great signing by the new chairman. He's a clever one he is.
Orient two up at Argyle.
I didn't see anything in the guide the last time I checked about the match being televised Saturday on BEIN. I hope it is , but that means getting up early two days before returning to work.

Richard Burton ties it up vs Wigan.
LVG's first match in charge at OT and it's United 0 Valencia 0 at the half. Roon missed a pen that he won. The replay showed it wasn't really a foul.
The second half is underway from Cardiff.

Another fight has broken out in the Dons Derby . These teams can't stand each other.
I heard that - what a nonsense. The season has just started. I know that they got tonked but really!
Wolves have come from two down as it's Desmond vs Northants.
Sounds a bit spicy.
I agree, Bob.
Those substitutions really worked out for them.
Both captains in the Dons Derby have been summoned by the ref and told to calm down their players. A sif that will happen.
Sounds like it. In the televised match, the Real Dons players have been guilty of some nasty challenges.

Well, I'm very pleased with that 2-0 scoreline at Elland Road. Our long suffering fans need a winning night out.
You will be amused to hear that we received an email from our principal being told not to be late because we are going for a bus ride. CRICKEY!
Definitely . I am pleased for you and the whites. Hope the next two home matches are just as successful.
BUGGER! MATCH OVER AS THE FAKE DONS GO THREE UP. EASY PEASY.
Yeah - that'll just about do it, unfortunately.
BLEEDIN' HECK. An innocuous long ball went under the central defender's foot and was easily slotted home by the striker past the on rushing keeper.

We're all over the place late on at Elland Road.
The Real Dons have a late penalty.
Matt Tubbs , who won the penalty scores it. Too late too late as the Fake Dons fans idiotically invade the pitch. The final whistle blows as the Fake Dons win 3-1.
In the fourth minute of stoppage time as Leeds are holding on to a 2-1 lead.
Six matches are going to extra time.
