We're four minutes in and the Gunners nearly scored in the first minute as the Tigers could not clear their lines.
Bob will not be pleased as a Not Too Big Club gave the Brummies a really big thrashing by 3-0 yesterday.
Now Kos tackles for a Tigers corner.
Ozil took too long to shoot after a one with Iwobi after a poor back pass from Fatty that will have pleased the home fans.
Alexis is put through again, but is stopped by a last ditch tackle as he was about to shoot. The third poor back pass from the Tigers this early in the match
Markovich gets past Kos down the right and Niasse just fails to divert his cross.
Cech does well to tip over a header from Niasse off a cross from Grosicki . The Gunners go straight up the other end of the pitch off the corner and Bellerin skews it well wide.
OH!!! Inches wide by Alexis as he was put through by the Ox.
Ozil is well over with a left footed volley off a cross from Alexis after being set up by Iwobi.
The Gunners win a corner. The corner is headed away then Alexi is offside off the return cross.
Theo is down, holding his head of a challenge from Fatty. Clattenburg is giving Fatty a lecture for that challenge where he led with the elbow. That should have been at least a booking.
Jakupovic struggles to control a back pass from Fatty then hoofs it into the stands.
Jakupovic does well to catch a headed back pass from Harry Maguire.
GOAL !!!! ALEXIS GIVES THE GUNNERS THE LEAD.
A long Gunners possession culminated in a one two down the left between Ozil and Iwobi. A good cross was put in and Gbbs had a close range effort blocked and Alexis put away the rebound from a couple of inches out.
Alexis is now tied with the Chunk for GBB with sixteen Prem goals. The replay showed that the shot came off of Alexis's hand.
Niasse wins a corner off of Mustafi after a cross from MArkovic was kept in play.
One minute of stoppage time.
Alexis wins a free kick as he was fouled by El Abdullauai
The free kick is headed out and the Gunners are one up at the half.
Coq Au Vin is down as the Ox is wide witha long range effort.
El Neny walks off the bench like an Egyptian in case he needs to come on. He scored int the ANC Final in a losing effort vs Cameroon.
Chech does well to turn around a shot from Niasse off a cross from Markovich on a Tigers break. Maguire heads wide off the corner from Grosicki.
A spat between Theo and Harry Maguire as Maguire appeared to obstruct Theo as he saw the ball out of play. Theo throws away the ball and hets into it with Maguire. Clattenburg books Theo.
Gibbs is booked for fouling Markovic just outside the Gunners box. Tigers players were surrounding Clattenburg, asking for a red card.
Nothing comes of the free kick.
Evandro is on for Grosicki,
Markovic wins a corner off of Kos on a Tiger's break.
El for El as El Mohammedy walks like an Egyptian, back from the ANc, on in place of El Abdouallai.
Another Egyptian El as El Neny walks like an Egyptian to replace Theo.
Ranocchia is booked for a foul on Alexis.
Alexis is booked for diving off a challenge from Ranocchia
The fin al roll of the dice from Marco Silva and predictable boos for former Spud, Fatty, as he's replaced by Diamande.
Hi David
I won't be around much today
I have a lot of snow removal from the driveway, walk the dog and have to go up to Saratoga
I may not even see the United match!!!
I'll join if I can
Hiya, MUR - thanks for getting us started this morning. I sacrificed this one for some extra sleep. I'm just coming up for air after a bout with the flu this week. But I'm finally starting to feel better after some expert nursing from Kate. Nice to join you for some action today.
Four minutes of stoppage time and
PENALTY AND RED CARD FOR CLUCAS , WHO HANDLED ON THE LINE OFF A SHOT FROM LUCAS PEREZ.
Arsenal are wrapping up a useful win here - I'm enjoying reading your comments.
And Arsenal have a penalty from a hand-ball by a red haired and red-faced Clucas who sees red for it.
Good morning bob and Dave. It's great to have you on board and wishing you a speedy recovery
Alexis has a chance to raise his goalscoring tally to 17 in the Premier League - and he makes no doubt!
Arsenal 2-0 and home and hosed.
GOAL ALEXIS SCORES FROM THE SPOT WITH HIS AND THE GUNNERS SECOND AND IT'S NOW 2-0 WITH THIS MATCH DONE AND DUSTED,
He's now GBB.
We don't have much snow here so I'll be watching the other two matches with you. Off you go, UWS!
Nice analogy and glad to have started.
Hope you can join is later, UWS. No snow, in fact it's warm enough to wear shorts this sunny morn
It's over as the Gunners defeat the Tigers 2-0.
I'm off to take Sparky walkies ahead of the 10 AM matches.
Haven't left yet!!
Maybe I could get someone else to do it!!
Looking like Hull had a lot of chances!
Should have not be a goal with a handball
Should have been a red card
I don't know what Robbie is talking about.. I know it was an accident but it shouldn't count if you gained an unfair advantage
Arsenal are now temporarily up to third in the table on 50 points and only 9 (yes, 9) points behind Chelsea on top. But they'll be happy to be in a more solid CL situation.
Next up is United hosting Watford. United could leapfrog Liverpool into 5th with a big win at Old Trafford this afternoon.
Yeah - you've only got three big strapping sons hanging around, right? Bung a shovel at those three layabouts!!
Morning Bob
United just need a win and that will do it.. this United team never makes it easy for themselves
Well, Tom is in Lake George, Jon's at friend's house but Matt came home from Siena last night.... he won't do it!!
I'll get Kathy or Doug to do it!!
Morning, UWS - what do you think of these line-ups?
Man Utd: de Gea, Valencia, Bailly, Smalling, Blind, Ander Herrera, Pogba, Mata, Mkhitaryan, Martial, Ibrahimovic.
Subs: Rooney, Lingard, Carrick, Rashford, Romero, Fellaini, Darmian.
Watford: Gomes, Britos, Kaboul, Prodl, Cathcart, Holebas, Zarate, Capoue, Cleverley, Niang, Deeney.
Subs: Mariappa, Success, Behrami, Doucoure, Janmaat, Okaka, Arlauskis.
Referee: Robert Madley (West Yorkshire)
Tell Matt he's a big wally!
We may go out for a birthday dinner for Kathy's birthday(Monday) today because of the storm coming
We had a pretty big one on Thursday for a Snow Day and around a foot is expected tomorrow
I'll have all eyes on Leeds v. Evil Cardiff - we need to bounce back from the big loss to Huddersfield in midweek and get the job done today.
That's nice - double up with Valentine's Day there. Kate is cooking me a V Day dinner tonight. Where are you guys going?
Got the SS link on my phone but the sound is off
The driveway is going to wait for awhile!
Not sure... somewhere in the Albany area
Ref says the goal shouldn't have stood because of the handball
Robbie Mustoe is wrong!
I think the rule should be gaining an unfair advantage!
BTW..... Wenger didn't see it
Still no sound
Again, people are going places... I may have to do the driveway soon
I've noticed the problem with the sound the last two weeks with that link. The guy has to unmute his telly!
United about to get us underway in this one. Come on, you Red Devils!
Back for the 10 AM matches.
I am watching the goal rush and Bor vs the Toffees.
Zlatan gets it all wrong with a horrible volley off a cross from Valencia
Solihull Moors take an early lead vs Sutton United in the Conference. Gooners will be hoping for the same on the plastic pitch in the Cup.
UWS will be delighted that Pompey have taken an early lead vs Accrington Stanley
Chadli gives the Baggies an early lead at the Hammers
Zlatan needs a brace to match Alexis' efforts today. You'd go for that, eh MUR?
I sure would. He needs to do better than he did with that earlier volley.
Gomes Addams comfortably saves a long range effort from the Miki taker.
Not a lot happening in the Championship right now. I need goals for my boys at Elland Road!
Celtic have thrashed Callie 6-0 in the Scots Cup.
United now level with Pool on points but seven goals behind on GD.
Leeds need a win since Not a Big Club really gave the Brummies a big thrashing yesterday by 3-0.
Oh - Kung Fu does really well there with the run and the deflected shot could have gone anywhere!
A running karate chop leads to a deflection and a United corner.
Mata has a corner headed away by Cholebas.
The Hammers nearly tie it up as new signing , Snoddy, has a free kick turned around by Ben Foster
In the Championship:
Brighton lead Burton Albion after 12 minutes after Tomer Hemed side-footed the Seagulls ahead. At Carrow Road, Jonny Howson has blasted Norwich City 1-0 up against Nottingham Forest.
Several goals in the Championship. The Seagulls take the lead vs Richard Burton while the Canaries take the lead vs Forest and the Bees sting their way to a lead at Ridsdale's house.
United are giving the ball away too cheaply in midfield.
Runned ON has a long range effort come off the bar for the Baggies as they nearly went to up at the Hammers
Agreed. They're off to a really poor start.
Plymouth have taken the lead against Exeter in the Devon Derby.
I switched the second match from CNBC at the Riverside to PLE at the London Stadium
You will be delighted about that one as Argyle aim to win promotion to L1.
Oh - acrobatic effort from Karate. Looked good but Twilight was no bothered.
Bristol City take the lead at the Rams while the Canaries go two up vs Forest
Pogba straight at Gomes Addams.
I'd love to see my Argyle friends have a chance to watch L1 footer next season. We'll have another group coming to visit this June.
I'll say it again - what is the point of Paul Pogba?
Struggling Coventry take a much needed lead at Oldham while Northants take the lead vs Chesterfield.
I'm not sure. He hasn't quite worked out at this point./
Max Britos fouls Zlatan
The free kick from Mata is headed out
Mata swings in a free kick. Cleared out - didn't really Mata.
The Canaries go three up vs Forest while PNE tie it up vs the Bees.
BOOM BOOM, mate.
Oh - big chance for Zlatan there on the volley. Great run through and took it well on the chest but his final effort was all wrong.
Oldham tie it up vs Coventry.
West Ham have had an equalizer ruled out.
It’s 1-1 between Preston and Brentford at Deepdale. Tom Field had Bees fans buzzing after 12 minutes, but Aiden McGeady quickly restored parity for Preston.
Gomes Addams does well to save a shot from Pogba off a pass from Valencia
Jayne Mansfield on top of Jeff's lads while Colchester take the lead vs Barnet
Herrera is over with a long range effort.
Miki with a great chance that makes it halfway to Blackburn
Kate gives the Cottagers the lead vs Wigan while Bristol City go two up at the Rams
Our Kate has given the Cottagers a 25th minute lead against relegation threatened Wigan.
OH!!!! Great close range save by Gomes Addams from Zlatan
The commentators are sensing that a United goal is coming....
And they're right - GOAL! Mata does Mata.
1-0!
Bugger - Hudders have gone 0-1 up at QPR. Not good for us.
But Bristol City are 0-2 up over Derby. That's nice.
GOAL !!!!! IT WAS JUST A MATA OF TIME BEFORE UNITED WOULD SCORE.
Manolo Gabbiadini scores with a near post header off a cross from Ryan Bertrand to give the Saints the lead at the SOL.
Sunderland have gone a goal down against Saints, with Manolo Gabbiadini scoring a scrappy one that is unlikely to trouble the Goal of the Month jury. Still, they all count.
Miki picked up a loose ball in midfield , played a one two with Mata, then passed to Kung Fu Panda , who karate chopped in a cross that was headed in by Mata
Crewe is four up vs Grimsby while Jeff is feeling screwed as his team are two down at Jayne's house.
Notts takes the lad vs Chelts while the Tangerines take the lead at Carlisle
Wigan tie it up at the Cottage due to Bob and Kate's hospitality.
Bob will not be pleased that the Terriers have gone two up at Loftus Road.
Bolton , aiming to win promotion back to the Championship, lead Walsall 3-1.
I am back after shoveling the driveway... the pull string of my snowblower snapped!!!
We are expecting a FOOT tomorrow
Notts now two up vs Chelts.
Bolton should probably be a Championship outfit.
Derby are 0-3 down!
Welcome back, UWS. Sorry about the wintry troubles. I will not mention the unusually warm weather here.
I'd love a goal for our county cousins Barnsley right about now.
How do you fix that problem, UWS - I've never had a snowblower.
They were relegated last season, finishing rock bottom. Should go straight up, but your point is well taken
Leeds on top?
That really blows! Was it purchased at Nordstroms?
Still no sound for my link to SS
A minute of stoppage time at OT.
I need a goal at Elland Road - come on, you Whites - great time to score!
Oh - Kung Fu was nearly through but for a useful intervention by Prodl. And that's half-time. United 1-0 up.
Manolo Gabbiadini puts the Saints tow up at the SOL with a great turn and finish. His third in two matches.
I'm off to the bog. Nocito Curse time?
Southampton are two up
Congrats, Bob. That was much needed/
United one up at the half.
The second half is underway from OT as Janmaat is on for Max Britos.
Bob and Kate have left the back door open as Wigan have come from behind to lead 1-2 at The Cottage.
Argyle have gone two up vs Exeter in the Devon Derby.
Rotherham take a much needed lead vs Blackburn. United should be able to do the same next weekend.
Zlat was no where near offside!!
ONE league in FIVE weeks.... we are going to fall behind!!
Next league game for United will be on March 4 at home to Bournemouth
Only two more in March
Both away to Soton and Born
Pogba is called for a foul no Karate Zarate just outside the United box.
Free kick chance to the Hornets....hope United aren't stung...Great save by De Gea
Phew
De Gea does well to save a powerful free kick from Zarate.
Agreed. United have matches in three other competitions during that time period.
Zlat is ONSIDE AGAIN!!!!!
BUGGER!! EVIL CARDIFF TAKE THE LEAD AT ER!
Plenty of time
It's Leeds time
Bugger! I'm just back from a half-time natter with the Gooner. Come on, you Whites - get it back!
PNE have come from behind to lead the Bees 2-1.
Thanks, mate!
Welcome back. MOT!
The Gooner must be pleased about the score in the early match. How is everything at Gooner Central?
Really bad time for that, with Norwich leading 3-0 and Reading drawing.
Could really do with Everton dropping points
The Seagulls have gone two up vs Richard Burton.
Everything seems good - he was pleased about that Mark Clattenberg assist on the Alexis goal.
YES!!
Martial nets United's second
GOAL! Kung Fu romps through and slots home United's second.
EAY HAY!!! UNITED HAVE KARATE CHOPPED THEIR WAY TO A TWO GOAL LEAD.
Do you think Sanchez's goal should have stood?
Steve?
BTW, his penalty was atrocious
Zlatan was NOT called offside this time as he passed to Kung Fu Panda, who cut in and scored with a near post finished past Gomes Addams , whose vision was blocked by a wall of defensive players, trying to keep the goal out.
Right now we are ahead of Liverpool
Brighton are now 3-0 up over Burton. They're flying on top of the Championship.
Zlat with a shot..saved

GOAL !!! WEE JOE GIVES STOKE THE LEAD VS pALACE.
BUGGER! Morecambe are Wise are two up vs Cambvridge
The Tangerines are two up at Carlisle
Zlat couldn't score his way thru a paper bag today... a wet one
Struth... Watford should have scored there
sigh. HB is coming on
BUGGER! The Evil Lions take the lead vs Southend/.
Zlatan does seem to be a streaky scorer.
Hopefully, he doesn't do anything stupid. Would he???
Mata coming off for HB
Norwich four up vs Forest
Jose does always like to give the opposition a sporting chance - Hair Bear to come on for the last twenty minutes.
I hope it doesn't Mata too much that Hair Bear has come on as a sub.
oh dear... Cardiff two up
Still 20 to go
United should want to get their GD up some
Oldham have come from behind to lead doomed Coventry 2-1.
De Gea with a decent save
Okaka is on for Karate Zarate.
BLOODY HELL !!! EVIL CARDIFF HAVE GONE TWO UP AT ER.
Not a good day for us, for sure. Norwich are flying. But we will remain in the playoff spots regardless.
