Good afternoon, Bob. I just got back from lunch with Elizabeth. Dortmund vs Arsenal is on FS1 and Liverpool vs Ludogorets is on FS 2.
I've got the Fox Sports coverage up and running on my computer here at work now.
I saw a link for the Leeds match but it didn't work for me.
Thanks for the tips, mate. Great to have you around this afternoon. How was lunch?
Thanks mate. Great to have the pleasure of your company. We ate at Cracker Barrel and the food was great. We can eat there the next time you and the Gooner are in town.
Brilliant - I like a bit of Cracker Barrel when I can get it. Don't have any in WNY. Bob Evans is the closest substitute.
Leeds start in 19th with seven points from six games - a fairly rotten start to the season. I'd take a point away to Bournemouth today. That would put us another point closer to 50 points for safety.
Cracker Barrel is better. You will not be disappointed.
Fox catches the refrain of "You'll Never Walk Alone." Nice one!
I don't blame you. You need to take whatever you can get,
I noticed that. well done FOX as the teams are out on the pitch in both matches.
A busy day as there matches in all divisions of the Football League and the Conference.
The line-up for Leeds today:
Silvestri, Berardi, Bellusci, Pearce, Warnock, Cook, Austin, Bianchi, Doukara, Sharp, Antenucci. Subs - Adryan, Byram, Taylor, Wootton, Tonge, Cooper, Sloth.
Blackburn vs Derby, Forest vs Fulham ,and Fleetwood mac vs Barnsley are tomorrow. The rest are today.
They're off from Anfield.
And now from Westphalia.
Arsenal get us started in Germany wearing a change blue strip. Not sure why red and white would clash with Dortmund's yellow and black but that's happening more and more these days.
An early Dortmund corner.
Dortmund's first team is a real challenge for the spell check - crikey!
Now another Dortmund corner.
Arsenal final gain possession after they failed to clear. Pool now have a free kick.
Dortmund definitely on the front foot from the off here.
Middlsbrough take the lead at Cardiff.
An early yellow card for the Bulgarian side. A horrible lunge on Sterling.
Mikhatriyan, the Armenian, with a booking for Dortmund.
Zenit take the lead at Benfica.
A terrible dive there from Mik - should have been booked.
BUGGER!!! Bournemouth take an early lead vs Leeds. Sorry Bob.
Leeds have leapfrogged Rotherham temporarily. They've got a late kick-off against Bolton - a real dogfight there.
Hartlepool take the lead at Northampton. Jeff will be pleased.
Bugger! I spoke too soon - we've conceded. Andy Surman with the early goal for Bournemouth. As I said, I'd take a draw tonight.
I suppose I need to be a Rotherham fan tonight then.
Preston smoke their way to a lead vs Chesterfield.
Brazilian flop Hulk with that goal for Zenit btw.
Great tackle by Merte for a Dortmund corner.
Nice that the Green man scored.
Koz concedes another corner.
Stevenage take the lead at Bury. Northampton tie it up vs Jeff's team as Dortmund win another corner.
Oh - Papas should have scored there from a loose corner.

The Gunners defense is holding on by a thread while it's a stupid hand ball by Kos just outside the D.
Koz gets off lightly when he handballs it after a slight nudge in the back.
Real take the lead vs Basle Brush.
Real have taken the lead through an own goal by Basel's Suchy.
Boom boom!
Exeter tie it up at Cambridge.
Ta, mate.
Northoventry take the lead at Scunny.
Haven't seen much of Welly or Alexis - or most of the Arsenal front line, to be fair.
Ludogorets have a shot deflected for a corner that is easily caught by Mignolet. Now Pool break , but Sterling horribly gives it away in a promising position.
Great save by the Ludogorets keeper after Balo had a shot blocked , but two Pool players were offside.
Agreed, especially wellie, who is showing us his United form.
Northants now 2-1 up vs Jeff's team.
Reading take the lead vs the Evil Lions.
The Real Dons take the lead vs Richard Burton Albion.
Oxford Shirt drawing 1-1 with the Accies,.
A free kick was headed on and Auberne yang headed wide.
Zenit are two up at Benfica.
Dortmund should have taken the lead as Auberneyang shot straight at Seudio from close range. Nice one touch football.
Roger Johnson has gone off for an early bath for Coventry.
How did Dortmund not take the lead. Seudio spilled a pass from Immobile and Mik blasted over from two yards out . A missed sitter.
How on earth did Dortmund not score there?!
Swindon take the lead vs Oldham. Notts County take the lead vs Orient.
Bradford City take the lead at the Fake Dons. They will play each other next week in the League Cup instead of our Uniteds.

Real now three up vs Basle Brush and Olympiakos surprisingly go two up vs Athletico
Olympiacos have added a second against Atletico. That would be a result for them!
Plenty of holesi n their defense. Melting like chocolate.
Not a lot of yodeling from the Basel crowd.
Northants go 3-1 up vs Jeff's team.
Agreed. More like a siesta from the Swiss fans,.
Another offside trap employed by Arsenal. Is George Graham back in charge at the Emirates?
Lallana should have given Pool the lead as he took too long to shoot and his shot was twice blocked. Nice pass from Henderson and great run by Coutinho.
Probably for away CL matches. Talk about rolling back the years,.
Oxford Shirt now go 2-1 up vs the Accies.
Wycombe take the lead at Bob's Argyle.
Rodriguez has added a fourth to add insult to injury for Basel. Will the crowd go off for an early fondue dinner?
Now Wellie misses a sitter as he shoots wide with just the keeper to beat. He's now Arsenal's headache.
Rare attacking foray for the Arse but Welly blows his shot wide. I can tell you're laughing all the way from Harlingen.
BOOM BOOM. tHEY PROBABLY have already.
Coming down to the last moments of the first half. Will Arsene be happy that he's weathered this early challenge from Dortmund?
Laughing and gloating. They're not amused in Alex.
Mik shoots well wide. He left his shooting boots in Armenia.
Arsene will definitely be relieved,.
I'd love a goal back for LUFC before half time arrives but I don't expect it.
GOAL! Immobile destroys Arsene's game plan. And Klippity Klopp is delighted.
GOAL !!!! IMMOBILE GIVES DORTMUND A DESERVED LEAD AS HE FINISHED PAST SEUDIO IN THE CORNER . HE COLLECTED A LONG PASS IN MIDFIELD AND GIVEN THE FREEDOM OF WESTPHALIA, WENT ON A SOLO RUN AND SLOTTED IN THE CORNER.
And that's half-time. What a time for Dortmund to score!
That was the last kick of the half as Dortmund deservedly lead 1-0. It's 0-0 at Anfield at the half.
UWS will be pleased that Pompey have taken the lead vs Daggenham
Wahey - Rotherham have scored late on to put Bolton back down in the dumps.
Rotherham take the lead at Bolton.

Henderson with a similar effort.
GOAL !!!! DORTMUND GO TWO UP.
Auberneyang collected a long clearance in midfield . Played a nice one two with Grosskreutz then easily rounded Seudio before slotting it in
As with the first goal, the Arsenal midfield gave Dortmund all the time and space to pick out their passes.
Sudio did well to tip over an effort to prevent it from being 3-0. A foul is called off the corner.,
The save was from Immobile.
Great save by Mignolet seconds after Pool missed a sitter.
Ozil booked for a push in midfield on Schmeltzer.
Anderlecht take the lead at Gala.
Arteta fouls Subotic just outside the box.
Bristol City go two up at Port Vake.
Suedio saves comfortably from Sokratis after the free kick was initially cleared.
Arsenal caught on the break off a long throw from Wiedenfelder and Augberneyang has a shot go off the top of the bar and out for a goal kick.,
I'm back after an extended half-time break and see that Arsenal are deeper in the hole now.
Aubarneyang heads wide off a cross from Immobile.
Yes. they are. Dortmund scored another and the Gunners show no signs of digging themselves out. Gooner will not be pleased.
No changes from the caretaker Neil Redfearn as of yet. I'd like to take a look at this Brazilian kid Adryan before long.
Orient tie it up at Notts County.
He seems like he can be a tricky customer.
Two much needed changes from Arsene. Ox on for Beaker and Caz on for Ramsey. I agree with Arsene.
Arsene is rolling the dice now with The Ox and Cazorla coming off the bench.
Carlos Tevez has scored for Juve against Malmo.
Sanchez wins a rare Gunners corner. The corner is headed away by the first man., Really poor.
How do you explain the plummeting form of a player like Ozil?
Bloody Tev.
I just don't it's just like Torres. I wonder if the Gunners would be wise to unload him.
Bezjak got behind the Pool defense , but shot high and wide.
Monaco take the lead vs Leverkusen.
Joao Moutinho has scored for Monaco against Leverkusen. That would be a fine result for the French side.
We're an hour in at Bournemouth and still no changes. What's the point of that, Neil? It's not working!
Brendan Rodgers about to make a double substitution. Borini on for Lallana. Lucas on for Coutinho i8n a Brazi swap. I don't get that one. Why bring on a ball winner for an attacking middie when being held 0-0 at home in the CL?
I agree. Sorry to hear that. It's time to ring in the changes on the South Coast.
YESSSS!!!!!!
Souleyman Doukara has equalized for Leeds!
His third goal of the season after a brace early on in the League Cup.
Borini has a header tipped over off a cross from Manquillo. The corner from Stevie G is cleared.
WAY HAY LEEDS TIE IT UP.
CONGRATS BOB!
That's got us up to 19th again on 8 points from 7 matches. I'd take that. It would be six points off the dropzone, as Bolton and Blackpool are both losing tonight.
Very casual from Sussudio and he nearly let Dortmund in for a third.
Seudio got away with one as his attempted clearance came off a Dortmund player and out of play for a goal kick.
Ludogorets ha d a shot come off the post as Pool were let off the hook.

Southend take the lead at Cheltenham.
Henderson heads just wide.
Wolves tie it up at Charlton while Not a Big Club take the lead at Brum.
Yeovil tie it up vs Crewe.
Not a Big Club have taken the lead at Brum - not pleased with that.
UWS will be pleased that Pompey have gone two up vs Daggenham
Oh dear - Welly has missed another golden opportunity. To be fair, he held off the defender well but then blasted well over.
Poldi on for Arteta now.
Oxford go 3-1 up vs the Accies.
Bolton have leveled it against Rotherham. Not happy with that either.
High and wide by Lucas. He's not what the doc ordered.
Sorry about that. How about this? Olympiakos go three up vs Athletico.
Red Dragon favorite Kostas Mitroglou has scored a third for Olympiacos against Atletico. Romping to a 3-1 win now.
Norwich have extended their lead at Brentford through Cam Jerome. The Canaries look destined to go up again.
Rangers take the lead vs Inverness Callie in the Scottish League Cup.
GOAL !!! BALO GIVES POOL THE LEAD. WHAT A TIME TO SCORE HIS FIRST POOL GOAL.
A double substitution for Leeds in the 76th minute. Sam Byram for striker Billy Sharp and Liam Cooper on for Warny. Not very ambitious.
Benzema has added a fifth goal for Real. Why not?
A priceless goal for Pool. How was the celebration?
Nice skill from Balo as he collected a cross from Manquillo., juggled it with his feet, then scooped the shot past the keeper in the corner.
YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
Stop the presses - we've scored a second and may be enroute to a priceless away win. How's about that?
It's from our Italian new boy at the back Guiseppe Bellusci. Sounds like a scrappy one but I'll take it.
1-2 Leeds!
Kind of a low key celebration . He gave a double fist pump then was mobbed by six players.
Suddenly we've vaulted up to mid-table in 13th with 10 points from 7.
Congrats Bob. I'm delighted for you and about time one of those Italian signings came good.
A team on the rise.
Hang in there, you Whites!

It's Desmond at Colchester now.
Athletico on the comeback as they score and now trail Olympiakos 3-2.
OH DEAR!!! LUDOGORETS TIE IT UP AT ANFIELD LATE ON.
YESSSSSSS!!!!!!
We're running riot at Bournemouth now. It's 1-3 with our new Italian striker Marco Antenucci scoring his first goal for the club.
The Pool defense were caught out by an innocouous through ball and a Spanish sub rounded Mignolet to slot home.
A right old ding dong in Athens tonight with Atletico pulling a second goal back through Griezman. 3-2 now.
Not good news for the Reds. That will spoil the celebrations.
Into stoppage time now at Bournemouth. This will mean two wins and a draw under Redfearn. Get him to sign on the dotted line pronto!
DRAMA AT ANFIIELD AS POOL HAVE WON A PENALTY.
GOAL !!! STEVIE G MAKES IT 2-1 FROM THE SPOT , SENDING THE KEEPER THE WRONG WAY
Tragedy for the Bulgarians as the keeper failed to control a simple back pass then tripped Manquillo.
A bad night for the Arse in Germany ends with a 0-2 loss.
Mignolet catches a corner as Dortmund have defeated Arsenal 2-0.
Pool hold on to win 2-1 in dramatic fashion.
Great stuff from Fox switching over to the Pool match just at the death. Gerrard scored a pen late on. Was it deserved?
