I am home from walkies in cold weather... first of the season. Snowflakes in the air with a few inches expected tonight.. first of the season
Got the Watford Spurs match on the telly and SS on the computer
zit's about five minutes in and well done to NBC for going around the grounds to let us see the latest action.
Bolton got a vital derby win against Blackburn this morning
Barnsley take the lead against Blackpool
Welcome back. Great to chat you. NBC is going to various grounds.
did you see the pre-match show? Some interesting rumors regarding LVG and Roon.
Norwich City hosting Aston Villa... strong memories of that fixture. In the middle of the worst hooliganism for that match
NBC going around the grounds... just saw a chance for WBA cleared off the line by the other HairBear
Now off to Selhurst Park
Now to Carrow Road... that's the goal we were behind for that violence. Were you there?
Bob will not be pleased that the Evil Lions won 0-4 at Southend on their trip to the local beach.
I don't think NBC went to Carrow Road live... I heard about that weak free kick on SS
Sorry. I missed that the one, but I think that was a pre holiday fixture . I remember that Canary fans were famous for throwing coins in the day. I always teased Yellows about that
They might be a few seconds behind
Great save by Karl Darlow on his Prem debut for the Toon from Jim Morrison
I can't believe my eyes . A Pulis side is playing attacking footie.
I know Bob and Steve were taken to a lot of grounds by their dad. How many grounds did you go to?
I have been to
Portman Rd
Carrow Rd
Fratton Park
Abbey Stadium
Highbury
White Hart Lane
Selhurst Park
Vicarage Rd
Parkhead
Wembley
That's all I can think of
Been to Old Trafford but not for a match
Rangers take on Hibs in the Scottish second tier
Funny
Jeff S saying how Charlie Nicholas complained about getting the match at the Hawthorns but he's loving it
I am ashamed to say very few. Just CR , PR, and Wembley. We drove by:
The Abbey
Layer Road
The City Ground
Meadow Lane
SFL
None come to mind, but when did you watch a match north of the border?
End to end stuff!1
There's been a goal at Goodison... to Stoke
GOAL !!! SHAQUIRI GIVES STOKE THE LEAD AT GOODISON. HIS FIRST PREM GOAL
Spurs take the lead
Lamela
I like going around the grounds but it is not live
Everything is too late
GOAL !!! LAMELA GIVES THE SPUDS THE LEAD AT VICARAGE ROAD! CATHCART THE FORMER UNITED TRAINEE WAS TOO EASILY TACKLE IN MIDFIELD . LAMELA GOT THE BALL AND RAN UNCHALLENGED AS HE EASILY SLOTTED PAST GOMES.
I agree. Wish it was live.
Did they show the Goodison goal?
I left the room
Sparky Hughes leading against one of his former clubs for the second time in 48 hours.
Come on NBC... way behind time
Yes they did. Shaquiri scored his first for the Potters
I know that you don't know when a goal is going to be scored but they showed a lot of the game at Goodison without the goal even though there had already been a goal scored
Spurs are now up to third above Citeh who play the leaders tomorrow
United are now SIX points off the top four
Lukaku had his scoring streak snapped against Newcastle but has started a new one
1-1 at Goodison
GOAL !!! THE CHUNK TIES IT UP FOR THE TOFFEES SIMILAR TO THE STOKE GOAL AS THERE WAS SEVERAL PASSES IN THE MOVE AS MCCARTHY AND BARKLEY COMBINED TO SET UP THE CHUNK
Lukaku has scored seven goals in his last seven league games at home
Norwich take the lead against Vila
Zaha is down after falling into the advertising boarding off a tackle from Kyle Naughton.
Leeds old boy Howson with the goal
HIbs take the lead at Ibrox
Rebecca says a goal just happened.... NBC are being a bit too slow ... boy am I spoiled
GOAL !!! JOHNNY HOWSON OF THE LUFC ACADEMY VOLLEYS THE CANARIES INTO THE LEAD BEATING GUZAN TOO EASILY AT HIS NEAR POST. A GRETA PASSING MOVE, BUT SHAMBOLIC VILLA DEFENDIONG AND KEEPING
The match from Ibrox is probably a bigger match than any in the Scottish Prem. How bizarre. One of those two will probably go up and perhaps a second via the playoffs.
The Bees take the lead at Reading
Norwich's goal takes them above Chelsea
If Swansea win at Palace, they would go above them
If Newcastle win at the Hawthorns, they go above them
Chelsea would be in the drop zone... I guess I would want a United win... just for the Chelsea story
Bob will not be pleased that the Evil Blades, our opponents in the Cup , have taken the lead vs the Bantams
Rangers started the season with many consecutive wins... maybe ten and now they are struggling
Great scenarios. I wouldn't mind that, but unfortunately , it will probably be a boring 0-0 draw at OT
i noticed that. They will probably never be the club they used to be.
Hibs are now on top of the table
Both goals at Goodison were almost identical goals except for Stoke that Bojan and Arnautovic combined to set up Shaquiri
Again, I have said this for weeks and weeks
WHY CAN'T SPURS WIN THE LEAGUE????
Pompey drawing 0-0 at Fratton PArk vs Luton in a match between two teams that have known much better times.
Remember, no Costa today for Chelsea after getting a late booking on Boxing Day
I think they can, but I expect them to fall a tiny bit short. I predict that they will be second or third, a few points behind Citeh
That's why I expect a snoozer. A match between two teams that are toothless in attack unless a real Hazard is posed to United.
Again, NBC is at Goodison but what they just showed happened about five minutes ago
Rangers tie it up
According to the experts in the studio , lVG is up against another Dutch manager he doesn't like. He doesn't get along with Ronnie or Gus.
Newport lead Bob's Argyle 1-0
The latest in the rumor mill is that Roon will be off to play in China next season and that his testimonial match on August 12th will be his last for United. Does the Nocito Sportscenter believe this one?
Deulofey booked for diving just outside the box off a 60 yard run in a move that started just outside the Toffees box. He's getting a horrible reputation for that
watford tie it up
GOAL !!! THE HORNETS TIE IT UP VS THE SPUDS AND GUESS WHO? IT'S IGHALO WITH THE GOAL
It was unusually poor defending from the Spuds as Deeney headed on a cross from Abdi and Ighalo found it far too easy to muscle his way past two central defenders before slotting it past Lloris
worst game of the day.. before the OT match... is at Selhurst
'Not a great game'
Rangers take the lead
Burnley take an expected lead vs Bristol City
Jason Mohammad brings us the news that Sir Alex Ferguson has arrived at Old Trafford and entered the ground via the players' and manager entrance.
As Jason says "Read into that what you will."
Goal at Goodison... to Stoke
OH!!!! WHAT AN AUDACIOUS FINISH BY SHAQUIRI TO GIVE STOKE A 1-2 LEAD. HE COLLECTED A 50 YARD DIAGONAL PASS FROM BOJAN THEN LET THE BALL BOUNCE TWICE BEFORE SLAMMING HOME A HALF VOLLEY FROM 30 YARDS OUT IN THE UPPER 90 THAT COMPLETELY FOOLED TIMMY.
Again, NBC are not doing a good job for me
That's an example of how we want to see United play
Were you watching the match?
According to Neil Ashton LVG needs to win today or he could be sacked. Pep is available.
NBC still hasn't showed that goal at Goodsion
Yes. I saw that goal from Shaquiri . NBC showed it. Possible the goal of the season.
Pep isn't available... he has a job in Munich until May... United can't wait for that
Just saw the Stoke goal.. .I think he meant it
They just showed it
I need to apologize to NBC
MY TV wasn't LIVE!!!
Someone had rewound it !!
I'm sorry NBC... will you forgive me
SS thinks the stoke goal was a fluke... he tried to cross it and got it 'horribly' wrong
Burnley are two up vs Bristol City
I read that Pep left Bayern this weekend and was replaced by Ancelotti. I will check to see if that is correct.
NBC will forgive you. it's the festive season. We'll enjoy the footie except for the match at OT
I'm really torn with United today
Of course I want them to win but of course I don't want LVG to get an escape route
I thought that was to be in the summer
Sorry. I guess you are right. Ancelotti will replace Pep in May
Pep just announced he was leaving at the end of the season
Edward Woodward must shoulder a fair share of the blame . He's done a horrible join since becoming owner of United. His major decisions have been to appoint Moyes and LVG. That says it all.
Just re-read your question about my Celtic match
I went camping with the Hunters and we went to a match against Montrose
Haennesey superbly turns around a close range header from Hangelaand off a free kick from Cabaye . Nearly the lead for Palace.
no comment about my BBC post at 10:45
according to SS, the match at Selhurst has been the worst match... why are NBC showing it....maybe Rebecca is putting her foot down
Was that a re-season friendly. My bruv went to see matches at Motherwell and Inverness Callie's grounds in 2000 as part of something to do with his med school.
Not sure if your time would be stamped for your time
Are you an hour behind us?
No, it was a league game in late August
WBA have had ELEVEN corners
Was that comment about SAF walking into OT to watch? I sort of answered it with him being replaced by Pep. My opinion is that SAF is giving LVG an ultimatum
Yes. I am on Central time, an hour behind you.
Bob is surely missing a collector's item as it is rare to see a Pulis side playing attacking entertaining football.
It was.... he went thru the players/manager entrance
Guzan parries... shot just wide
Guzan nearly gifts the Canaries a second goal He fumbled a shot and Howson shot the rebound inches wide. Also , like the goal a Villa player was too easily tackled in midfield
'a cracking nil-niller'
The Toon nbearly take the lead at the Hawthorns as Dummett had a header come off the bar off a corner then Collocini had a shot blocked off the line from close range
The one from the Hawthorns yes, but the battle of the Alans from Selhurst Park not as much
Thats at West Brom not Palace but NBC are in South London
You must have been a wee lad when you saw Celtic play because that had to be before the Scottish prem was formed in 1974. Montrose have never been in the top flight in the Prem era , but could have been in the old Scottish First which had about 16 to 18 teams
The one at Selhurst Park is Alan vs Alan. THat may explain the lack of entertainment.,
Nathan Ake , on loan from Chelsea , has been shown a straight red for a foul on Lamela . At first I thought it was harsh, but the replay should it was a karate style challenge that was far too high
Mitrovic has a close range shot blocked that was heading in.
GOAL !!! THE CHUNK AT THE DOUBLE AS HE MAKES IT DESMOND VS STOKE WITH HIS AND THE TOFFEES SECOND
away from the computer as Lukaku invites Desmond
Cambridge fall behind at home to Barnet
Brummies take the lead against the dons
A long goal kick from Butland was headed back on , then the Chunk chested down a long ball from the halfway line and finished in the corner past Butland
SS showing some goals from Championship
Wolves take the lead at Charlton.
goal at Ibrox 3-1
Rangers lead Hibs 2-1 in a top of the table battle.
well in. Your Sportscenter is ahead of mine.
Bob will not be pleased that the Evil Blades have gone three up vs Bradford City
PNE take the lead vs Hull City.
Just wide by Naismith as the Chunk laid off a pass from Deulofeu.
GOAL !!! DEULOFEYU PUTS THE TOFFEES IN A 3-2 LEAD WITH A TAP IN
Everton take the lead for the first time of the day
Again, the Toffees headed back a long goal kick from Butland as Funes-Mori headed on to Barkley, who played a one two with the Chunk, then passed across the box for Deulofeu to easily tap in
rangers down to ten men but they still lead 3-1
A poor back pass from Tiote nearly gives the Baggies the lead as Anichebe went down too easily under a challenge from Darlow ,the Toon debutant keeper. . Not given and the right call.
great close range block by Timmy from Arnautovic
Roon starts
Great close range save by Flappy to keep it 0-0 at Selhurst Park
Cambridge tie it up
Hazard starting as a False Number Nine for Chelsea and Sigh for the possibly China bound Roon.
Cambridge take the lead
Two in two minutes
The Bees go 1-2 up at the Reading Railroad while Burnely go three up vs Bristol City
Mad scramble in the Toon box but they survive
OH!!! Now the Baggies nearly take the lead in a similar way that the Toon nearly did a minute ago. Anichebe headed on a corner on to the bar. It all started with a horrible slice from Toon keeper Darlow off a routine back pass.
GOAL... WEST BROM HAVE TAKEN THE LEAD
Has been a good game from what Ive seen
Keeper should have saved it
GOAL FLECTH HEADS THE BAGGIES INTO THE LEAD OFF A CROSS FROM YACOUB , WHO RECEIVED A PASS FROM SESS.
ex United man with the goal
Strange that two defensive middies combined for the goal
3-3 at Goodison
GOAL !!! JOSELU BLASTS IN A GOAL FOR THE POTTERS TO MAKE IT 3-3 AT GHOODISON
all these chances all over the country and then we have to watch the match at OT
Great cross from Arnautovic off a great build up. Timmy diod noit stand a chance with that great finish
Darlow makes a close range reflex save from Anichebe in an attempt to make up for the early error.
Burnley go four up vs Bristol City
United's line up
De Gea
Darmian
Smalling
Blind
Young
Schneiderlin
Schweinsteiger
Mata
Herrera
Martial
Roony
Bench...not scary
Jones
Depay
Carrick

Azpilicueta
Matic
Mikel
Pedro
Oscar
Willan
Hazard
Bench

Loftus-Cheek
What on earth has happened to these two teams.... neither line up scares you
I agree.Look at the match at Goodison and look what we could experience with Sparky in charge at OT
QPR take an undeserved lead at home to Hudders
I was thinking the same . Not exactly eye catching lineups. Hazard a "false" number nine while Roon is a false footballer.
Norwich double their lead!!
GOAL !!! THE CANARIES LOOK TO HAVE SEALED A WIN VS VILLA WITH A WELL PLACED HEADER BY CAMERON JEROME
nice timing by NBC
Watford want a goal straight from a corner... not given
SPURS GO DOWN THE OTHER END AND HAVE SCORED!!!
Great timing again by NBC
It all started with a ,long goal kick from Declan Rudd that was headed on , then Villa couhghed up the ball yet again as Redmond found Hoolihan , who put in a great cross for Jerome to head home
The bloke was offside from the original cross but punched it away. The next cross he is behind the ball and back heals it in
Hibs make it 3-2
Hunddersfield tie it up at Loftus
A cheeky back heel by Number one Son gave thew SPuds the lead vs the ten men Hornets
PENALTY TO STOKE!!
4-3 to the visitors!!!
GOAL !!!! ARNAUTOVIC GIVES STOKE A LATE 3-4 LEAD AT GOODISON
Meant to comment about the Pool match against Leicester
Why didn't anyone say that the Liverpool break when Benteke ran at goal when Kasper came up for a corner WAS MILES OFFSIDE!!
There was a defender but NO KEEPER so he was offside
4-2 Rangers
Stones fouled Arnautovic in the box and he thumped home a great penalty. I thought it was the right call.
Free kick change for Swansea... well saved
Great save by Hennessey from a free kick by Siggy
See the type of football United would play if Sparky took charge.
Everton are an exciting team to watch but lost the last two home games 2-3 and 3-4
I agree
Stoke win 3-4 at Goodison against one of Sparky's former clubs with the winner being a late penalty
Stoke are tied in points with United
Spurs win 2-1 and are third
Ends nil nil at Palace
West Brom win.. shame that the Toon didn't overtake Chelsea
It was a horrible miss by Beneteke either way and worked out nicely since the goal wasn't scored. Canaries win 2-0 that all but dooms Villa and moves the Canaries further away from the drop zone.
Would Spurs have won if it was 11 vs 11?
Half way thru the season... Villa are 11 points away from safety... only have 8 points!!
Coventry tie it up late at Chesterfield
Pompey draw nil nil at home to Luton... not good enough
Next up is United vs Chelsea on NBCSN. The Gunners vs the Cherries and the Hammers vs the Saints are the other late matches. A late one in the Championship too in a battle of Jackie Charlton's former clubs as Middlesbrough hosts Not a Big Club
Cambridge win with those two goals in two mins
Cambridge only a point away from the play offs but Carlisle have played two fewer games
Cambridge defeat Barnet 2-1
More than the "big" match next
Arsenal host Bournemouth and West Ham host Southampton
My pillow is ready for the last match of the day
Boro take a very early lead at home to Wednesday on a Monday
NBC being very mean and showing Rooney when he actually could play the sport... his hat-trick on his debut
Mourinho scarves being sold outside Old Trafford!!
Red, White and black colors
Again, I don't care that United are not in the top four
I don't care that United aren't winning
I care that United don't create any chances and are boring
LVG can't get that thru his thick head
Headline on a United book sold outside the stadium, RED NEWS.... NO MORE BORE DRAWS PLEASE
That says it all
What happened to the time that teams just ran out to the field...now it is like Spartacus...... LVG waiving at fans... THEY ARE FLIPPING YOU OFF!!
I just got back from walking Sparky on a cool, breezy , and sunny day. His name sake could be the next United manager
They're off from OT!
ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK!
We are off... wake me up if something happens
United are only 10 points ahead of Chelsea
Nice one , UWS. Sadly true
United already going backwards and sideways already
Their striker hasn't scored in 27 matches and ours hasn't had a shot on target in ages. I'm predicting a 0-0 draw. Theirs is a false number nine and ours a false footballer.
Mata hits the bar early!
Look what can happen when you shoot
Two more chances to shoot but neither one took a pop
OH!!! Mata nearly scores against his former team . Yashley took a throw and Roon laid it off, doing something right for once.
WHAT A PATHETIC CORNER
GOOD GRIEF... A PROFESSIONAL
Chelsea break... cross blocked by Young
Blind slipped and a p[ass from Hazard was cut out for a Chelsea corner.
great save by De Gea... chances at both ends!!
