A Prem Saturday That Allows for A Wee Bit of Extra Kip
It's a late start to the Prem today with the Foxes vs Palace on Born in the USA and the Hammers vs Chelsea on NBCSN. The late match is the Gunners vs the Toffees on NBC. It's a decent Saturday lineup.

Earlier this morning Burnley won 0-1 at Blackburn in what is normally a fiercely contested East Lancashire Derby. Another local Derby yesterday as Not a Big Club won 1-2 at struggling Rotherham
Morning, MUR - you just beat me to the post. I'll delete my thread and will join you for the London derby.
The Happy Hammers are blowing bubbles as the teams come out of the tunnel. Here are the teams:
West Ham: Adrian, Jenkinson, Collins, Tomkins, Cresswell, Noble, Kouyate, Lanzini, Payet, Zarate, Sakho. Subs: Randolph, Carroll, Valencia, Obiang, Ogbonna, Jelavic, Antonio.
Chelsea: Begovic, Zouma, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta, Matic, Ramires, Willian, Fabregas, Hazard, Costa. Subs: Baba, Oscar, Falcao, Mikel, Traore, Amelia, Loftus-Cheek.
Referee: Jon Moss (W Yorkshire)
I didn't realize that another Championship match is being played as the Cottagers lead the Reading Railroad midway through the second half.
Good morning Bob. It's great to have the pleasure of your company as they're off from Upton Park and the Crisps.
I'm unexpectedly hear because today was supposed to be the first meet for my number sense team, but it was cancelled due to expected bad weather from moisture from that horrible Pacific hurricane headed our way
Cheers, mate. I've got the full-on LUFC mojo going this morning. The lucky shirt is on, the lucky blankie is draped over my legs and I've just had a singalong to MOT. If ever there was a match that we needed three points out of, it's at home to woeful Bolton today.
Come on, you Whites!
Yeah - what is Hurricane Patricia doing to you in Harlingen? The news was really scary about it.
The Cottagers now lead the Reading Railroad 4-2. Justice served as no train wreck will occur at your house.
So far, not much. It's muggy with a pesky light rain.I think the worst will be later today through tomorrow morning. The worst came on Thursday when we got two and a half inches in a few hours.
WAY HAY! Cambridge take an early lead at Yeovil.
The Foxes are really piling the pressure on Palace. First , Marc Albrighton went on a solo run and had a shot come off the inside of the post . M<ayeherez shot the rebound wide of an open goal. Then Palace desperately cleared for a corner that led to a Foxes free kick
The free kick from Mayherez was straight into the wall then he shot the rebound straight to Wayne Hennessey.
Leicester go close against Crystal Palace: Riyad Mahrez has pulled a shot wide of the upright at the King Power Stadium after good work by Marc Albrighton.
Zouma clears for a Hammers corner that is cleared by the first man
Bayern have predictably gone 1-0 up against Koln with a returning Arjen Robben scoring early doors.
Vardy was just offside on a great Foxes counter.
Mostly Hammers pressure so far. You'd think from this that they were the defending champs!
Bayern are 2-0 up - Artur Vidal with a cheeky chip.
That scoreline has a great aroma to it.
Still no goals in the Prem or Championship:
Come on, you Whites!
Bayern predictably running riot and that is wha I'm seeing too as the Hammers are off to a great start. The Foxes are dominating vs Palace.
Costa wins a Chelsea corner.
Costa heads wide from the corner taken by Willian
The Cottagers lead the Reading Railroad in the 84th minute and Burnley won 0-1 at Blackburn earlier this morning in an East Lancs Derby.
Walsall lead 0-1 at Colchester in their attempt to win promotion.. Posh have taken the lead vs Donny .
Bottom club . Newport , have taken the lead at Bristol Rovers in a local Derby.
GOAL! The Hammers take the lead after a lot of pressure on the Chelski goal!
GOAL !!! THE HAMMERS HJAVE TAKEN THE LEAD.
The corner came in and two Chelski players, including Costa, completely whiffed on it. Great half volley at the back post by Zarate.
1-0 WH!
Begovic tipped over a free kick from Payet and then the Hammers scored from the resulting corner. It was poorly headed out by Zouma and Mauro Zarate scored with a well placed shot in the corner as Chelsea were at sixes and sevens from a set piece.
Bristol Rovers tie it up vs Newport/
The Rams take the lead at Hudders
A fantastic atmosphere at Upton Park as Johnno and Cal must be delighted.
Cristiano Ronaldo has predictably scored for Real.
I hope that WHR and Cal are watching this one.
Azpi is booked for a foul on HAmmers counter seconds after Hazard was too easily dispossessed.
Me too. They will be enjoying it.
No Real surprise that Ronnie scored at Celta Vigo, who actually thrashed Barca last month.
However, Wolves take a surprise lead vs Mioddlesbrough
Morning Boys
I am just back from my 5 miler
Listened to Five Live on the walk
Come on you Ammers
Heard Leeds hit the post at Bolton
Burnley have taken the lead away to Blackburn to continue their winning form.
Bob's Argyle take the lead at the Mad Hatters
Morning, UWS - thanks for the positive news out of ER. We need a win today!
WAY HAY!! Cambridge go two up at Yeovil.
Clocks change tonight in Blighty... all the games will start an hour earlier than normal for a couple of weeks starting tomorrow
Good morning UWS. I will be going on a walk for breast cancer tomorrow morning, weather permitting.
That will allow for some extra kip unless we get up early to watch the Geordie Derby.
Decent draw midweek at the Cottage... was it crowded at your place during the match!
Fulham came back from 2-0 down to beat high flying Reading 4-2
Burnley won at Ewood Park. That match ended an hour ago.
NBC has the Em match from London followed by the Rugby World Cup semi final... they are in London all day!!
The Bees take the lead at Charlton.
A week punch from Adrian off a Chelsea corner, but the Hammers clear
Great work by NBC. They've been doing a great job the past few years
I might get up early for the Geordie Derby. Thanks for the reminder on the clocks changing, UWS.
How was the walkies - the weather out here is rotten today.
Walsall go two up at Colchester. The Saddlers may be an opponent at ER next season.
Are you being affected by Patricia?
Wolves have a rare lead - against Boro at Molineux.
It's rotten here too, but of the tropical variety
Forgot NBCSN in London too right now!
Willian tries one of his trademark free kicks. Beaten away by Adrian.
All we are getting is some pesky light rain as it is very muggy. I think the worst weather will be between this evening and tomorrow evening.
At this rate, NBCSN will start broadcasting East Enders during prime time.
So, London's calling?
That doesn't sound too bad; it sounds absolutely Biblical across the border from you!
Matic is in trouble now for a cynical tug back after the breakaway. Yellow.
Off the West Ham line... they break... cynical foul by Matic.. a yellow
Fabn wins a corner off of Collins./ OH!!!! Lanzini clears off the line from the corner that leads to a Hammers counter and Matic cynically pulls down the Coyote and is booked for that.
Collins outjumps JT and heads to Begovic from the free kick.
Bloody hell - Bolton have taken the lead!
GRRRRRRR!!!!!!
Crikey - the Hammers are really lucky. Just about all of the ball over the line.
Cant get my SS link to work this morning
Listening to Five Live. They have no match today so it's around the grounds like I remember when I was growing on a Saturday afternoon playing footer in my living room. They would then got to second half commentary
Ball just didn't' go over
Great technology
I've just noticed that the ball is yellow today. When did that change?
Agreed, Bob. I heard that Ptricia broke a Worls record with 200 mph winds. Thankfully , it will be just rain by the time it makes it into Texas. I just hope that it's not an excessive amount of moisture.
Cambridge 3-0 up
I think they change colors once they have the time change.
West Ham should have double their lead!!!
Missed
OH!!!! Lanzini misses a sitter for the Hammers on the counter as he chips it over with just Begovic to beat
Oh - Lanzini should have scored the second there. Great flick from Payet but the striker dinked it too high over the bar.
HOW ABOUT THEM METS!!!!!
Two Nil Hull Brum nil
West Ham attack with pace... ARE YOU WATCHING LVG???
Matic seemed to pull a player back again there - he's riding a fine line now. I can't see him finishing the match. He'll need to be subbed off.
Sorry for my negative comment at the end of the midweek thread
Mets?
Are you watching the Rounders again?
tHAT CHANCE CAME OFF A LONG CLEARANCE FROM aDRIAN THAT RESULTED IN HEAD TENNIS. Then, Noble headed a pass to the superb Payet, who played in Lanzini with a cheeky back heel.
Oh dear from Bolton
I understand your frustration. United just aren't playing well under LVG.
Agreed, UWS Your Mets are doing superb as are the Cubs as predicted thirty years ago.
Fab puts the ball in the net
FAB... it was offside
Fab has a goal disallowed for offside on a great Chelsea counter. The Hammers got lucky as that was a really close call.
Watford have been second best but have taken the lead at Stoke
Agreed, UWS. I was thinking about what you just said and thinking that Payet would be a perfect player for United. He's the type of player we should be signing.
Azpi and Matic are in trouble again!
Jose will complain about the goal line shot and then offside
What about Matic not getting a yellow there ... no the linesman is telling him.. HE'S OFF
Matic is off! I called it!
Jose smiling... I hate him
He was really begging for that one. What an idiot!
Matic should be taking an early bath then roars from the crowd as he does. Chelsea ae down a man as Matic is deservedly sent off for a second yellow. He's a real idiot.
More yellow cards coming out - for Fab and JT I think.
Absolutely two deserved yellows
Another two yellows given as well
Jose may be smiling and will complain that Hammers players got him undeservedly sent off. Now Chelsea players compl;ain after Hammers players did. Two minutes of stoppage time./
RED CARD
West Ham 1-0 Chelsea
Posted at 15:44
A disaster for Chelsea as Blues midfielder Nemanja Matic is sent off for a second booking.
Jose Mourinho laughs on the bench - perhaps a ready-made excuse.
Troy Deeney has just scored for Watford away to Stoke.
Now someone from the Chelsea bench sent off too
Will Jose honestly think they weren't both deserved?
What on earth are the Chelski lot arguing about? Matic could have been sent off twice over. One of their staff has just been sent for an early bath.
What is wrong with Chelsea ? Why would an assistant be stupid enough to get himself sent off? He's an idiot too.
I agree with you, mate. Maybe there's a grumble about the Fab shot being called back for offside but I thought he was a shoulder off.
What fireworks to end the half with!
Half time
NBC straight away from the ground.. that's unusual... wonder if they think something unsightly would happen when the ref left the field
The Hammers are one up at the half. The second yellow and the assistant being sent off shows that Jose is not the disciplinarian that he thinks he is.
Jose on a one game suspended stadium ban... if he says anything about the ref... he's be banned
Looks like World Cup match is starting at 4 so NBC aren't showing it Live
Got my SS link gong
The link it self doesn't work but if you pick SS News it works
Jose sent to the stands... he was on a suspended ban... kick him out
Well - that first half had everything! A good goal, two disallowed ones, goal line technology being deployed, a red card and Jose Mourinho involved in verbals in the tunnel and sent to the stand! Wow!
Let's have more of that, eh?
Goal at Carrow Road... to the Baggies
The second half is underway at Upton Park. More dram as Jose has been sent off . THat should be lengthy suspension as its' his second of the season
Mourinho has responded to that first half performance by predictably bringing on Obi Wan to replace Fab.
Jose with a change , or was it his assistant as Obi Wan is on for Fab. A defensive change for a team that needs a goal.
Meanwhile, the honeymoon is over for Steve Evans at ER. A battling score draw was okay away to Fulham in mid-week but only three points is acceptable in the relegation six-pointer today. We could easily slip into the drop zone.
WBA have scored at Carrow Road against Norwich. Yellows is at the match and won't be pleased. He'd predicted a 3-1 win for the Canaries today on FB.
I agree, UWS. Jose , for a supposedly intelligent person, is acting really stupidly. I think it woill be a three match ban, but if he continues to implode , the bans will steadily increase.
Fab and Diego Costa were booked for dissent once Matic was sent off. Costa may see red the way Chelsea are acting today
I didn't realize that Uwe had walked the plank. He sure had a brief stay at ER. You were predicting that
Right now the Hammers are in second place... WHERE IS SIR TREVOR????
Chelsea is 15th... where's my big bruv??
Sorry about the score at the Reebok.
Jose should quit with his specialist in failure comments. That describes him this season. His team is in 15th, players and coaches are losing their discipline, and physios are being sacked. I wonder if Jose is intentionally trying to get himself sacked.
Derby take a 1-2 lead at Hudders.
Yeah - that happened after last weekend's loss. Cellino has brought in former Rotherham boss Steve Evans, who has quite a checkered past. I predict that Evans will be Cellino's seventh sacked manager by Christmas.
Bayern smell a victory as they go four up vs Cologne.
Horrible by Azpi as Zarate barely tapped him and trying to get him sennt off. Azpi should be seeing a second yellow.
I'd love Jose would bugger off
Hard to say about Steve Evans. His record: Got Crawley promoted from the Conference to League One and got Totherham promoted from L2 to the Championship. Cellino will be hoping for similar success at ER despite the mental issues.
GOAL! Cahill equalizes for the Blues!
Bugger... Chelsea tie it up
Cahill
GOAL !!! THE TEN MEN TIE II UP OFF A CORNER. ADRIAN WAS LOST OFF THE CORNER AS THE BALL ELUDED EVERYONE AND CAHILL SMASHED IN AT THE FAR POST.
Another goal from a corner that should have been cleared. The Hammers made a hash of it, especially Adrian who was in no man's land.
Good finish by Cahill - I'd like to see some of that for England next summer.
1-1!
Me too, UWS. I can't stand Jose.
Why are West Ham sitting back now? They were thoroughly on top when it was 11 v. 11. They're a man up - they should be attacking them!
GOAL !!! THE FOXES TAKE THE LEAD VS PALACE.
West Ham sitting back too much
I hate modern day tactic
Goal at Leicester.... Vardy scores in his 7th straight Prem League game
Sky Sports are reporting that Jose Mourinho attempted to get into the referee’s changing room at half-time and was ordered out and then issued with a red card.
He should get a long ban for that nonsense.
I picked Vardy for Golden Boot.... I just misspelled his name. I spelt it Christian Benteke.... just typed it wrong
Jamie Vardy has scored his 10th goal of the season to put the Foxes 1-0 up against Palace!
LOL! Nice one, UWS. No one was close to picking Jamie Vardy.
GOAL !!! THE FOXES TAKE THE LEAD VS PALACE. iT WAS A HORRIBLE GOAL FROM A PALACE POINT OF VIEW. A LONG PPUNT FROM KAPSER MADE IT TO HANGELAAND, WHO MADE AN UNCHARACTERISTIC ERROR. HE PASSED TO MAYHEREZ , WHO PLAYED THROUGH VARDY, WHO ROUNDED HENNESSEY AND SCORED IN AN EMPTY NET
Isn't "Sergio Aguero" Spanish for "Jamie Vardy?"
West Ham on the front foot again... why didn't they do this with the lead
The Hammers are pushing back now - good!
Okazaki is on for Albrighton, who put in a good shift.
I totally agree, UWS - why did they come out in the second half so defensively? I don't get it.
I agree, UWS. The Hammers are a man up and should knock the stuffing out of the Blues.
Goal at for VIlla!!!
When Big Nose was giving the report
Now it's Ramires down holding his face.
Thanks for the update, Bob. It 's an extra ban as is since it's the second ban of the season plus the confrontational action sounds like about a half a dozen matches in the stands.
Villa lead in the battle of the Ayew brothers
Jordan Ayew opens the scoring for Villa against Swansea.
Every Prem is 1-0 except for the match at Upton Park.
Bayern like the smell as they have defeated Cologne 4-0
Costa heads over from a superb free kick from Willian, but is flagged offside.
Jose is serving a suspended stadium ban today.... they should throw the book at him
Ian “Moose” Abrahams, Talksport’s man on the scene, is reporting that Jose Mourinho has not been sent off, but has chosen to watch the second half of his team’s match against West Ham from the directors’ box.
The Ayews are Ghanaian despite being born and raised in France. Their dad is the great Abedi Pele.
Equalizer at Villa Park
That sure sounds like conflicting reports. If Jose chose that option then he must have felt that he was about to do something stupid.
The other Ayew bruv?
I still maintain that Jose is trying to get himself sacked. For some reason, he seems to want out of SB.
Good move here from Slavan. Zarate is a bit gassed and Andy Carroll is coming on for him.
Watford two up
Andy Carroll is on for Zarate.
Siggy has equalized for Swansea. 1-1 at Villa Park.
That would be a brilliant win for Watford. Stoke are slipping down the table. Close to the drop zone now.
A surprise in L1 as Colchester were two down at the half to second placed Walsall. They have twice come from behind to make it 3-3. Desmond made a brief appearance.
The Posh are three up vs Donny.
Abdi with the second Hornets goal.
The Tangerines take the lead vs Crewe.
Yeovil score a consolation goal vs Cambridge.
LEEDS TIE IT UP !!!!
Reports out of the Macron Stadium that Leeds are piling on the pressure. Come on, you Whites!
The Coyote is booked for a foul on Ramires.
Wahay! Thanks for the update, mate!!!!!
YESSSSSSSSS!!!! cONGRATS bOB. tHE SECOND COMEBACK THIS WEEK.
Ipswich take the lead at the County Ground
An extremely evil L1 fixture was played earlier this morning as the Evil Lions won 1-2 at Bramall Lane. What sayeth Bob?
Wahay! It was Mirko Antenucci from the penalty spot. And Bolton are down to ten men after Prince Desir Guano was sent off for a professional foul.
Now, let's win it!
Ipswich have taken the lead against Forest. Jonathan Parr on the scoresheet for the Tractor Boyz.
Cresswell shoots straight at Begovic as Nathan Dyer is on for Mayherez.
Begovic makes a mess of a back pass from JT and clears for a corner as Hammers fans have a laugh
Lowly Newport are 4-1 up at Bristol Rovers
Highflying Walsall 4-3 at Colchester
losing at Colchester
So , it's parr for the course for the Tractor Boys and Bob will be pleased with the royal gift from the prince.
YES!!
ANDY CARROLL WITH A GOAL!!!!!
I MISSED IT
YESSSS!!!! Andy Carroll has scored what hopefully will be a winning goal for the Hammers!
YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! ANDY CAROLL GIVES THE HAMMERS A 2-1 LEAD OFF THE BENCH WITH HIS FIRST GOAL SINCE JANUARY
Great header.. I always thought he could have been so good for England
It was a typically headed goal by Andy Carroll from a great cross by Cresswell that camer off a long Hammeres possession and a sliced clearance from JT.
Willian is booked for a foul on Andy Carroll.
Jeff is happy... Hartlepool get a goal back but still 1-2 down
