A very good Saturday morning to all of you. I'm all rise and shine and ready for the London Derby now.
Spurs have away advantage against West Ham, and really need a win to keep the Mancunian pacemakers within sight. The next few weeks are likely to determine whether Spurs will challenge for the title again, or whether this will become a bit of a lost season in which they end up focussing on the cups.
West Ham have started to pick up after a difficult start to the season, though Slaven Bilic still has reason to look over his shoulder.
We also have an Old Firm Derby kicking off at 7:30 this morning from Ibrox.
The teams coming out now at the City of London Stadium:
West Ham (3-4-3) Hart; Fonte, Reid, Ogbonna; Zabaleta, Kouyate, Noble, Cresswell; Antonio, Chicharito, Arnautovic.
Substitutes: Adrian, Masuaku, Byram, Rice, Ayew, Carroll, Sakho.
Spurs (3-4-2-1) Lloris; Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen; Aurier, Sissoko, Dier, Davies; Eriksen, Alli; Kane.
Substitutes: Vorm, Trippier, Walker-Peters, Winks, Nkoudou, Son, Llorente.
Peter Drury and dirty old man David Pleat on the mics today.
Good early running from Spurs here - they desperately need a win today to bring their title hopes back into the frame.
Kane tried to dink one through for his buddy Dele but it was mopped up efficiently by Reid.
Michael Oliver has a quick chat with Aurier about that tug back. Probably a final warning before a card.
Chicha has a go from distance with a curler. Got it all wrong.
The Plan B for Slavan must be to go with Andy Carroll to put the frighteners on off the bench around the hour mark.
Antonio drags a through ball towards Arnautovic, and Lloris hares from his area to clear. West Ham are starting to play some decent stuff.
Joe Hart took no chances with that Erickson effort that looped up off a deflection.
Oh - a storming run from Arnautovic was just broken up by Aurier.
Everything Spurs try to get going in midfield is getting broken up by Mark Noble.
One more warning - surely his last - for Aurier. Referee Oliver is showing some patience.
Arnautovic got into a good position but then his cross was woeful. Was he trying to catch Lloris off his line?
Absolutely nothing going for Spurs yet - they are killing my PPP dreams.
Spurs aren’t playing well, though much of that is down to the quality of West Ham’s defending and counter-attacking. A quarter of the match gone now.
Bit of argybargy now between Noble and SIssoko. Michael Oliver calms them down without going to his pocket.
GOAL! Spurs lead through Kane!
The first real bit of attacking flair from Spurs there. A suspicion of offside as the through ball went out to Alli. But no doubt about his cross or the quality of Kane's header into the corner. Super goal.
0-1 Spurs!
It's 0-0 at half-time of the Old Firm Derby, which must have kicked off at 7am.
Half time at the City of London Stadium - Spurs lead 0-2 through those two Harry Kane goals. He may not be able to score for toffee in August but he's rattling them in in September. Six goals in his last five matches in all competitions.
Good morning, Bob.My apologies for not joining you earlier, but I was getting some extra kip because I didn't feel well yesterday. Feeling much better this morning.
Andy Carroll is on for the injured Michail Antonio as we get going again.
The second half is underway with Peter Dreary and Old man Pleat on the mics.
Morning, MUR - how are you, mate?
Morning Boys
I am here as they kick off the second half
I repeat David's apology
The home team must be having some time at the pub because they're getting Hammered.
Good morning, UWS. They should call us the sleeping Daves!
Doing well, Bob. Thank you for asking. I took off Thursday and Friday and wasn't well yesterday for some reason , but doing much better today
Cresswell wins a corner off of Sissy. Taken by Arnautovic and headed away
Glad you're feeling better
Noble does well at the by-line and wins a free kick off Erickson.
Free kick chance fails to beat the first man.....stunning
Celtic two up at Ibrox in the Old Firm Derby.
Terrible dribbling from Alli on a break
Morning, UWS! Great to have you both on board for the second half.
Thanks, Dave. Greatly appreciated.
More like a Blind Alley.
Two results yesterday. MK won two lover at Wimpleton in the Dons Derby and in L2 Swindon won by the same score at Forest Green.
West Ham are starting to lump a few crosses into the area for Carroll. So far Spurs have dealt with him comfortably.
My FB post shows Sunshine watching his beloved. He's doing very well as expected.
Will City get another cricket score against the pointless and scoreless Palace today?
I don't see Palace scoring...they go to Old Trafford next and then host Chelsea!
They might as well be playing Lewis Carroll the way they're getting Hammered. OH BOTHER!
City v Chelsea is the late match next week.
Alli runs in the box... take a shot with left!!
He tries to cut back and then dives
Dele had a chance in the box there but Winston Reid came through with a brilliant tackle.
Well read by Winnie the Pooh Reid on Kate and Alley , who looked like Harry Reid dribbling. He will need some wipeys.
I think Palace is pretty much down . I never like to say that this early in the season, but they look all but doomed.
Bob will be delighted to hear that an international break starts at the end of next weekend.
Kane hits the Sunday Roast... but Spurs score anyway!
Delle flops off minimal contact with Jose Fonte.
oh!!!! tHE fRE FREE KICK FROM HARRY KANE IS OFF THE POST THEN GOAL ERIKSEN PUTS THE SPUDS THREE UP. AFTER THE SHOT HIT THE POST , A SHOT WAS BLOCKED THEN ERIKSEN SCORED WITH FANTASTIC FINISH
0-3 Spurs - Erickson.
Bilic might not survive the weekend after this drubbing at home in a London Derby.
Kane must be up there with the top goal scorers. Just idle curiosity
How about Pond Frog Ronnie. Will he join Slaven?
OH!!! Kane is through and Hart tips his shot off the outside of the post for a corner.
Spurs could stop winning at home last season. Now then can't stop winning away this season
Of course, they can't win at home
Hernandez knocks the ball in at the back from post from a flick on header
Game on?
Doubt it
GOAL !!!! FONTE HEADS ON A CORNER AND CHICHA HEADS IN ONE FOR THE HAMMERS . NOW 1-3.
I agree. Just some respectability in the scoreline.
Doubt it either. Chicha's goal is merely a consolation.
So, Man City Palace and Stoke Chelsea are the games on TV for the three o'clockers
Wishing everybody a Happy Autumn!
Spurs down to ten men!!
Aurier gets a second yellow in his Spurs debut
Serge Auruier sent off for a second booking and MO Po And Chicha discuss that.
I think Aurier played last week at Wembley vs the Swans and vs Dortmund.
I hate how these English commentators are now starting to talk about "power plays." Football fans don't use that language.
Agreed. No need to Americanize the sport.
Totally agree
Getting a bit Harry and in the Wink of an eye Eriksen is replaced.
Erickson is being sacrificed now; Harry Winks on to firm up the backline.
Massiuku on for Fonte.
I think these two play each other in the next round of the League Cup.
Just like Leicester and Liverpool replay their Cup tie today
Trippier on at right back in place of Sissy after Aurier got a second yellow for being a Trippier.
Pool out for revenge?
Lloris beats away a powerful effort from Chucha.
Another chance wasted by Blind Alli. He's having a rotten season.
Another Spuds counter and yet again Delle run into a blind alley
It must be too much mayo on the sandwiches!
Pun Meister is back
Chicha booked for a clumsy challenge.
LOL, Dave!
The 10 AMers are not exactly classics , but the early and late ones are decent matches.,
Athletico have defeated Sevilla 2-0
Celtic won 0-2 at Ibrox in the Old Firm Derby.
Ben Davies fouls Ayew.
You don't fancy the United trip to St. Mary's?
Goal..... 2-3
Johnny is jumping with joy
GOAL! Kouyate sets up a great finish to this match!!!
2-3!
GOAL !!!!MASUAKU GOES ON A RUN DOWN THE LEFT AND HIS CROSS IS MET WITH A THUMPING HEADER BY THE COYOTE. A GRANDSTAND FINISH. NOW 2-3.
The match at St. Mary;s will be a tad tricky.
Just got an update for United's starting 11
De Gea
Valencia
Bailly
Jones
Young
Matic
Fellaini
Mata
Miki
Rashford
Lukaku
Kane to come off now - he'll be needed for the CL this week. Llorente on to shore things up.
The final roll of the dice for Mo Po as the Llorente Express is on for Harry Kane.
Let's hope United have left the grey away kits behind, eh?
Masuaku wins a Hammers corner.
Spurs are hanging on by a thread!
Winnie Reid more like Harry with that finish after Lloris missed the corner. Four minutes of stoppage time.
Reid wastes a chance to dink another cross back in. Four minutes of stoppage time to come.
No one knows what is up with Pogba's hammy
They don't know if he is out for 12 days or 12 weeks!
The pass from the Llorente Express was behind Delle Alli.
Lloris can't prevent a deflected shot going out for a Hammers corner.
Carroll heads on and Noble volleys halfway to Buckingham Palace.
If West Ham tie it up it would give a real boost for West Ham at home
Corner almost hit Carroll's head... was there a push there
Alli being a thug again
Looks to be a strong United lineup. We definitely don't want the grey kits.
Ayew lucky not to be sent off for a foul on Davies. Just a booking.
Ayew is lucky to escape a red there.
Never a red there....Alli asked the ref for a red... I hate players doing that
his leg wasn't raised at all
One last chance now for West Ham to lump it up the pitch.
Davies drags a shot wide and that will run time off the clock.
Handbags here...everyone is going at it
Is the ref going to show another red or just blow up
A fight breaks out as there was a challenge between the Llorente Express and Winnie the Pooh Reid.
And more handbags now at the death. Yellows all round.
Those two are booked by Oliver Twist.
Ref is handing out cards like it is Christmas
AND he blow up right away
Michael Oliver should just blow up now.
Andy Lewis Carroll and a Spuds and another Spuds player booked.
BOOM BOOM, UWS
That's it. A good comeback all for nowt
It's over as the Spuds nearly blew a three goal lead, but hang on to win 2-3 at the London Stadium.
Off to take Sparky walkies.
And that's that - Spurs hang on for a decent win in the London Derby. West Ham in the dumps. I blame WHR for never joining us here on the LOB. Where are you, Johnno?
I will be listening to United on my Talksport app.
Of course, I will Final Score on for the second half
I was looking up this NBC Gold.. it cost $50 for the season... what a bummer. At least three games per team will be exclusive on Gold.
First time United haven't available to watch since NBC started their coverage
Here's to a big Palace win
I am back all showered and shaved
With the Champions League on this week, the Premier League have played all five of their teams on Saturday again. Good for them!
Will this always happen?
During this match, I will be taking walkies while LISTENING to United
I have 5Live on my phone now but it just blacked out!
COME ON TALKSPORT
My link for Talksport is not working after update!!
As I was coming out of the loo, I saw Morata giving Chelsea the lead at the Brit
Chelsea have already taken the lead
Back for the Citeh v. Palace match now on NBC Sports Network. The United match at St. Mary's is on the new Gold package. Not buying that, of course.
Hoping that Palace can at least hang on for a 0-0 draw but I don't expect it.
It's 1-1 between the Cod Men and the Shrimpers in L1. Anyone for some seafood?
I believe that's Morata's third goal in the Premiership. Just two behind Lukaku now.
Surprised to see the Shrews running away with L1. Will they be tamed??
Oh - Sakho nearly gifted Citeh an opening goal. Would that have been Palace's first goal of the season? Just wondering....
It would have been their first in the Prem. They have scored in the League Cup
Fred says that the Black Cats have been Warnocked with an early goal at the SOL. He's none too pleased.
Daggenham take the lead at the Solihull Moors.
Chester takes the lead vs Maidenhead
The Solihull Moors tie it up vs Dagenham
How did City not score
Rotherham take the lead vs Oldham as do Pompey vs Scunny vs Pompey
Bury take the lead at Charlton.
Watford take the lead in Wales
WAY HAY!!!! Leeds ride their way to the lead vs the Tractor Boys. Congrats, Bob.
I've just looked at the top goalscorer list:
Lukaku and Aguero - 5 goals
Gabby Jesus, Vardy and Kane - 4 goals
Morata, Welly, Martial and Mo Salah - 3 goals
LEEDS ARE IN THE LEAD!!
Lasogga with the goal
Hennesey with a near post save from Sterling.
YESSSS! Well in Pierre-Michel Lasogga! His fourth goal of the season, I do believe. 1-0 Whites!
Andre Gray with the goal that stung the Swans.
Hate not being able to watch or follow United
Tangerines take the lead at Bristol Rovers.
It's definitely not a Gold Medal package.
Carlisle takes the lead at Crewe,.
oooh, Palace it the post Loftus Cheek with a nice run and shot
Aldershot ride their way to the lead vs the Orient Express while Maidstone take the lead vs Gateshead.
YES... ONE NIL!!
LUKAKU!!
Loftus Tongue N Cheek turns Gall Stones and has a shot come off the post for Palace for what could have been their first Prem goal of the season.
I agree - I hope the Gold package doesn't take hold. It sets a bad precedent. Well in, The Chunk. Sixth goal of the season.
WAY HAY! That takes a Chunk out of the Saints.
Donny Trump wears their way to the lead at Argyle Sweater in a match between two teams newly promoted from L2.
I have sound a link for United!!
A Conference teams has Woking up to find themselves trailing at the Fylde Peninsula.
Southampton are having a lot of the ball
How did you do that, UWS?
You deserve a Gold Medal for that, or at least, a Blue Ribbon.
Oldham tie it up at Roptherham
Mendy picks up a yellow card and a knock there. You'll have to be satisfied with the way that Palace have frustrated Citeh for the first quarter of the match.
Everton are in the bottom three, only West Ham have conceded more, only Palace have scored less BUT they have already played Chelsea, City and United all away
Free kick chance for Rashford....just wide
so close
Citeh really being frustrated by Palace.
Sane is basically trying to beat the entire Palace defense and walk the ball in every time he gets a touch.
City have gone close quite a few times but so have Palace!
PUncheon leads a Palace break and Loftus -Cheek diverts his pass wide
I'd love to see City drop points!
They won't tho...even if they fall behind they will score a few in a short amount of time
Mendy is off injured for Citeh and replaced by another new signing in Danilo.
Matic gets on to the ball in the box after a late run
Oh - so close for Loftus-Cheek.
Danilo is now replacing the injured Mendy.
Tony the Tiger takes the lead at the Mad Stad.
GOAL !!!! CHELSEA GO TWO UP AT THE BRIT!
A horrible chested back pass from Fletch and Pedro blasts it in the corner.
Sadly Cardiff are one up at the SoL as well
The Tractor Boys tie it up at ER
The other top team, Wolves, are still nil nil at home v Barnsley
LEEDS ARE NOW 2-1 up!!!
Dave McGoldrick with the goal for the Tractor Boys.
Phillips retake the lead two minutes later
Wahay! Loving the goals that we're scoring this season!
WAY HAY!
How did Aguero miss that... long may that continue
