Of course I'll have my eye on Leeds' away day to Blackburn. We start in 16th with 20 points from 17 matches. Redders seems to have stopped the rot but we need points now.
Good morning Bob. I dropped Elizabeth off at the supermarket, walked Sparky, went to the bog ,and ate breakfast. There's an advantage to the later kickoff.
It finished 0-0 between Hudders and Not a Big Club in an Evil Yorkshire Derby. I'm glad I didn't set the alarm for that one.
The first televised match is the Baggies vs Chelsea. It's the one year anniversary of that dubious penalty decision that denied the Baggies a famous win at SB. Chelsea will go seven points clear with a win at the Hawthorns.
A top of the table clash in the Scottish Championship as Hearts have defeated Rangers 2-0 and are now nine points clear at the top. Surely , Hearts are all but promoted while Rangers look set for the playoffs.
A correction . The match is at SB as it was this weekend last year when the Baggies were cheated out of a famous victory.
They're off from SB.
Berahino is down form a challenge from JT. It looked a foul, but Lee Mason did not call it.
Yacoub clears for a Chelsea corner, under pressure.
Great close range save by Ben Foster from JT from a short corner from Fab. The next corner is cleared.
A promotion six pointer sees the high flying cherries take the lead vs the Tractor Boyz.
Newport County take the lead at Bury while Cheltenham are off to the races, taking the lead vs Wycombe Wanderers
Wycombe tie it up.
Diego Costa just offside off a quick long free kick from Fab. The Baggies were nearly caught out.
Well wide by Sess. The Baggies first attempt of the match
Rochdale take the lead vs Donny.
GOAL !!!! 1-0 CHELSEA AS COSTA SCORES WITH A TRADEMARK FINISH. HIS 11TH OF THE SEASON.
Burnley fresh off their first win of the season take the lead at Stoke.
Hiya, MUR - I'm joining you late from Kate's place this morning. We're over here getting set for Thanksgiving.
Costa is now only two goals behind Sergio Aguero in the GBB race.
Oh - Foster saves well from Oscar. And Costa couldn't quite convert the rebound.
Good morning Bob. Great to be chatting with you this morning.
Burnley go two up at Stoke while the Swans take a shock lead at Citeh. Boni with the goal for the Swans.
Bournemouth have taken the lead against Ipswich.
Danny Ings with two goals in a minute for Burnely.
UWS will be pleased that Pompey have taken the lead vs Morecambe and None Too Wise. The Shrews take the lead at Exeter
OH!!! Just wide by Costa off a deflected cross by Ivanovic
Very attacking line-up for Jose today. I see Costa, Oscar, Hazard, Fabregas and Willian.
Oh - Costa just wide of the mark there. Should have scored. Might have had a hat-trick already.
Bournemouth are top of the pops in Championship now. In the earlier match, Hudders and Not a Big Club drew 0-0 in an uninspiring Yorkshire Derby.
The announcer says that the Baggies have cause to complain about the goal. I disagree as Oscar was given too much time and space while Costa was left completely unmarked as he chested down a pass from Oscar and scored with a lovely volley.
I'm off to take Melanie to concert rehearsal.I should be back in about twenty minutes.
GOAL! The Baggies get punked by a simple short corner routine there.
2-0 Blues!
Where was UWS when the short corner finally bore fruit there. Great first touch by Hazard and Foster couldn't keep out the shot.
Not a lot of goals in the top two divisions, apart from here at the Bridge. We're clearly watching the best match.
Jeff Stelling will be delighted that his beloved Hartlepool have taken the lead at York City.
Chelski are just teeing it up for another goal here. It's like a training pitch exercise.
Bloody hell! WBA are down to ten men! Yacob is off!
It probably looked worse than it was - but that's game over for WBA. This could get ugly for them now.
Free kick Chelski...
Stefan Jovetic has leveled it for Citeh against Swansea now. 1-1 at the Etihad.
Oh - dangerous cross over there by Willian but no one was attacking it. It's all Chelski now.
Graham Dorrans lunges in on Hazard now and gives away another free kick. The Baggies need to stop giving up silly free kicks.
The Chunk has given Everton a 1-0 lead over West Ham.
YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!
Leeds take the lead through Souleyman Doukara - he's our top scorer this season.
We're up to 13th now on 23 points.
Craig Gardener tries a pop but it's well over.
Oh - that should have been #3 there as the ball slid across the area. Azpi was coming in but Dorrans managed to upend him legally.
More desperate defending for WBA now. It's a matter of time before the Blues get their third. Foster doing well in goal though.
I'm back to see that this match is pretty much done and dusted and another double save from Foster, first at the feet of Hazard then he pushed away the rebound.
Diego Costa will know that he's got the chance to score a shed-load of goals today against ten-men WBA as they tire.
Another Chelsea goal and Yocob sent off for the Baggies in his first start of the season. It's all about damage limitation for the Baggies.
Welcome back, mate. Yeah - Chelski should be four or give up now against ten-men WBA.
The Toffees have taken the lead vs the Hammers. Someone will be pleased, but not Johnno.
You also missed Leeds' opening goal away to Blackburn. Wahey!
Yeah - another tasty goal by The Chunk apparently.
Cheers mate. I missed a lot in the twenty minutes I was gone.
Excellent . Glad to hear your team is winning.
Two minutes of stoppage time.
Stoke pull onbe back vs Burnley as they trail 1-2.
Another great take by Hazard there but Foster did well.
Foster saves at the feet of Hazard off a long ball as the corner was cleared.
The new England boy Berahino hasn't shown me much today.
Halftime and Chelsea lead 2-0
That's half-time then. Chelski in complete control while Citeh are struggling to put away Swansea. It's all blue today.
To be fair, he has had practically no support. Hard to judge him under these circumstances.,
That's true - the Baggies are right up against it today against a far superior side.
I'm back from watching the action I missed. Not much has changed since then
Chelsea's eighth corner results in their ninth. A great save by Ben Foster off a header from JT.
Oh - nearly a third for Chelski there - from the corner, John Terry rose majestically and pulled a great save out of Foster.
Leeds still one up thanks to a goal by Doukarra
Yeah - hope we can hang on to that lead. Blackburn are a top half side - that would be quite a scalp.
The latest other scores in the Championship :
The Cherries one up vs the Tractor Boyz thanks to a really early goal
Derby one up at Watford
Wigan under the Scottish Bigot one up vs Middlesbrough
One each between the Canaries and the Seagulls.
Another dangerous ball across the WBA area - comes to nothing. The Baggies are doing a valiant job here keeping the score down.
Still 1-1 between Citeh and the Swans. Jovetic with the goal for Citeh
Stoke trail Burnley 1-2. Walters pulled one back for Stoke.
Bob will not be pleased that Jayne Mansfield is one up vs Argyle. Read into that what you may.
The Tractor Boyz have tied it up at the Cherries.
Teddy Bishop with the goal for the Tractor Boyz , which was assisted by Tyrone Mings.

Go on, the Argyle!
Another East Anglian side score as the Canaries take a 2-1 lead vs the another South Coast side in the form of the Seagulls.
Martin has fired Norwich into a 2-1 lead against Brighton.
Russell Martin with the goal for the Canaries. That may put them up in a playoff spot.

Jeff must be quiet. Dick York have come from behind to go 1-2 up at Jeff's team in a relegation six pointer
Swindon are two up at Young Fergie.
Bayern go four up vs Hoffenheim
Jeff's dreams have been crushed.
Few goals in the Championship where it is still 0-0 in four out of ten matches.
I heard that Jeff just sent Desmond a text message.
Bob will be pleased that Oldham have taken the lead at Bramall Lane.
The Hammers tie it up at Goodison ark. God news for Johnno and bad news for Someone.
Sorry . I meant good news.
Mauro Zirate with the goal for the Hammers
Costa Rican international,Gamboa, on for Chris Baird, who made his first start of the season.
Joel Campbell has leveled it for the Blades against Oldham.

BUGGER!!!!
Good news that Middlesbrough have tied it up at the DW.
Brum take the lead at Rotherham
Yaya Toure has fired Citeh into the lead against the Swans.
The Cherries have just taken a 2-1 lead vs the Tractor Boyz.
Jeff's dreams are dead and buried as Dick York gooes 1-3 up at Jeff's team.
Another great close range from Foster. This time from Hazard off a pass from Fab off a short corner.
The corner from Fab is headed awy
Wolves must not like playing East Midlands sides. They are two down at home to struggling Forest and lost 4-0 at high flying Derby just before the international break.
Watford tie it up vs Derby County
willian booked for a late challenge on Wisdom that was none too wise.
The seagulls make it Desmond at CR.
Jeff is used to it.
Accrington Stanley go two up vs Cambridge while UWS will be pleased that Pompey have gone two up vs Morecambe and None Too Wise.
Will he be used to seeing his team play non league footie next season?
Diego Costa looks really arsed off as he's replaced.
Celtic lead Dundee 2-1 as Remy is on for Oscar. Jose must want another goal.
Bugger! Blackburn have leveled it at Ewood.
Bloody Jordan Rhodes.
Sorry Bob.
Sisskoko has fired Newcastle into the lead against woeful QPR.
Oscar wins a corner off of Sess.
Drogba is on for Costa.
The Toffees go 2-1 up vs the Hammers
Desmond between Bournemouth and Ipswich.
Brighton have turned it around at Carrow Road. 2-3 there.
Smalling McNair, and Blackett in the back four.
BLOODY HELL! What is LVG thinking. Surely , Smalling wqould have played his last match for United and he is along two rookies. Advantage Gooner and Dad.
Derby County go 1-2 up at Watford.
Forest go three up at Molineaux.
Drogba hammers a volley into the hand of Wisdom.
Wahay - Cairney has been sent off for a second yellow for Blackburn. Come on, you Whites!
Hibs are 3-6 up at Dumbarton as they seal a playoff spot along with Rangers
Forest are romping it at Molineux - 0-3 there. My pal Nick in Bio here won't be pleased.
Well done .

3-3 at Carrow Road - what a thriller!
The Canaries tie it up in a cracker at CR. It's 3-3.

About bloody time as Gary Hooper has scored the equalizer.
So how's Melanie feeling about tonight - is she nervous?
Cambridge score a consolation at Accrington Stanley as they trail 2-1 .
Pompey go three up vs Morecambe and None Too Wise.
BUGGGERRRR!!!
Jordan Rhodes has scored a penalty to put Blackburn 2-1 up!
It's over as Chgelsea win 2-0. Now off to the Etihad and the Swans nearly made it Desmonbd as Hart punched away a corner. Now Citeh counter, but a great tackle on Aguero.
Chelsea wrap up an easy 2-0 win; over to the Etihad.
BLOODY HELL!!! How did ten men take the lead?
We need Reverend Tutu to show up soon.
Citeh hold on to defeat the Swans 2-1 . Off to Goodison . Well done NBC
I think he's at the Cherries.
And Citeh hold out for the win. Now over to Goodison. Great stuff!
It's over at Goodison as the Toffees hold on to win 2-1. Now off to the Brittania.
Everton hold on for the win; now on to the Britannia. Stoke losing to lowly Burnley.
It's over and perhaps the upset of the season as Burnley win 1-2 at the Brittania.
Sean Dyche has a lifeline now - Burnley with a great win there.
The Toon have defeated QPR 1-0 while it has finished 0- between the Foxes and the Black Cats. No wonder why Fred has been napping.
Blackburn have defeated Leeds 2-1. Sorry Bob.
Desmond watching the Cherries vs the Tractor Boyz in the ninth minute of stoppage time!
Now in the tenth minute of stoppage time. What went on at Bournemouth.
Now in the twelfth minute of stoppage time. Desmond is really getting value for money.
Now in the thirteenth minute of stoppage time between Bournemouth and Ipswich.
It has finished Desmond between the Cherries and the Tractor Boyz.
Not happy with that at all. We were 1-0 up and playing ten men and somehow we've conspired to lose the match. Still at 20 points, now at 16th but with one fewer game now to gain those 30 points for safety.
Now for the big one. Teams in the tunnel. The earlier scores have pushed Arsenal to 7th and United to 9th. It's a must win for both sides - a draw doesn't do anything for either side.
That's correct, Bob. A must win match for both teams . The winner moves up to fourth, which is currently occupied by the Toon of all teams.
I'm really sorry. That's a really tough loss. Blackburn now occupy a playoff spot thanks to that win. Rotherham and Wigan move into the drop zone.
The talking heads on Fox beg to differ. They think that both sides would be happy to collect a draw now - I don't by it. Roon looked really focused in the tunnel.
They're off from the EM.
London's Calling for a United win!
And we're away - United wearing their unfamiliar all blue kit - don't like it at all.
The Gunners must be licking their chops at United's back three. Will United finish with eleven men
I agree. I prefer the traditional white shirts and black shorts.
RVP well offside off a through ball from Luke Shaw , who did well to keep possession off a horrible pass from Roon.
Team news:
Arsenal - Sussudio, Mert, Monreal, Chambers, Gibbs, Flamini, Jack, The Ox, Caz, Sanchez, Welly.
United - Twilight, Blackett, Smalling, Valencia, Shaw, Hair Bear, Jan, Di Maria, Roon, RVP.
Wellie has a shot blocked for a corner off a run and pass from Ox.
Merte heads weakly wide off the corner.
I don't know why that would clash with Arsenal's traditional home kit.
Luke Shaw down as he was fouled by the Ox.
Looks like Shaw has rolled his ankle clearing the ball. Not good early news for United.
It wouldn't. They just done have that as their away kit any more. I don't what the fixation is with the blue kits.
He seems to be running it off. Good to see.
Welly should have done better with that headed chance.
Poor defending from Roon as Ox gets free down the right and Wellie showed us why he was sold by LVG as he headed over with a free header. United were let off the hook.
United , as I predicted, look shaky at the back and don't seem up for the match. The Gunners seem to want it more.
United can't get the ball.
Nice idea by Alexis, but the through ball for Ramsey was just too long.
De Gea does well to save from Wilshere as it's all Gunners.
De Gea saves a tame long range effort from wellie.
PHEW!!! De Gea makes up for a nightmare clearance as De Gea makes a close range reflex save from Wilshere then wilshere goes down easily, looking for a penalty off of Luke Shaw.
Oh - Wilshere was straight through but Twilight did well.
Luke Shaw is down again. I'm guessing that he will be subbed soon. Who will come on in his place?
He is off and it gets worse as Bloody useless Yashley is on in his place. Surely Gooner and dad must be having quite a laugh!
Luke Shaw hasn't been able to shake off that injury -
Yashley on for him.
RVP gets a hostile reception as he is booed every time he touches the ball and cheers for coughing up possession.
United's best chance of scoring as Ramsey gifts United a free kick with a stupid foul on Di Maria.
Of course Roon wastes it with a horrible free kick well over.
Ox breaks through the United defense yet again and thankfully De Gea makes a kick save to save United yet again
Superb tackle by Hair Bear and he finds Di Maria with a long ball as United break.
Then a long possession ends with a useless pass from Valencia.
Ox wins a corner off of Blackett off a long ball from Chambers
Back after a couple of slices of pizza for lunch.
United clear the corner at the fifth attempt!
Sounds like a great lunch. UNited looking like a bunch of clowns at the back,.
Alexis has a shot blocked for a corner.
Thankfully it was a poor corner from wilshere
Some handbags now between Jack and Hair Bear. Tsk tsk.
Wilshere could have easily gone off for that chest bump.
What is Wilshere's problem ? He starts a fight with Hair Bear , pushes him, and really should have been sent off. Instead, he lectures Hair Bear , who did nothing wrong. Mike Dean has trouble handling big matches and using his common sense.
