It's Two London Clubs at the South Coast Followed by the Big One at Anfield.
It starts with the Seagulls vs Chelsea on NBCSN and the Saints vs Gunners on NBC Gold at 8:30 AM. Then the biggest and fiercest Derby of all derbies as it's Liverpool vs United at Anfield. United desperately need a win to keep touch with the top four while Pool need a win to go top. Join us for all the action this Sunday morning. Should be quite a morning.

Morning, MUR - thanks for getting us going with that excellent post. I've just finished up some panettone French toast with Kate and her friend Lawrence who's in for the weekend. I'll be making a ratatouille after the late one.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID!!!
Cheers to a United victory..... aint going to happen
Hibs one up vs Celtic at the half. Killie current top, but Stevie G's lads will go top with a win vs George Hamilton Academical later this morning. Let's hope the club he played for doesn't
They're off from the AMEX what's in our wallets?
Where did you see this quiz MUR?
Thanks, Dave. Hoping for a United win, which would be a fantastic birthday present.
Morning Bob
I found it on Goggle images.
Good morning Bob and Dave.You're welcome Wish we were at your house for the fantastic French sounding brekkies.
We're away at the Amex Stadium with these teams:
Ryan, Dunk, Balogun, Bruno, Bernardo, Stephens, Propper, Knockaert, Gross, March, Murray.
Arrizabalaga, David Luiz, Rudiger, Azpi, Alonso, Jorginho, Loftus-Cheek, Kante, Pedro, Hazard, Giroud.
What's on the docket for birthday celebrations, today?
Fantastic? Miraculous!!
Last working birthday of your career!
I can't wish a ManYoo win for you, as I need a Liverpool win for my PPP standings.
That free kick from Gross really was gross.
Don't know if I want Jose to win and get any credit.
If they lose heavily, could he be gone?
Correct, Dave. Last working birthday of my career. Have to go in because Semester Exams start tomorrow. Fortunately, I have just the morning exam, so will be done by 11 AM tomorrow.
Poor form, Bob, especially as it would be an early birthday present. Rather naughty.
I can't believe United just extended Smalling's contract
They keep giving new contracts to all the players that should be shown the door!
NOW THAT'S A NICE BIRTHDAY PRESENT
Solly March with a powerful shot blocked in December then cleared for a Seagulls corner
Corner taken short and the cross is fisted away by the Chelsea Kepa.
You have to go in to prepare the exams this afternoon?
Birthday celebrations will be tomorrow. Elizabeth bought sirloin steaks along with baked potatoes , and asparagus. Also, Melanie will be coming home from college tomorrow afternoon. Should be quite an evening.
Already copied the exams. That was completed the middle of last week , so I could take off Thursday and Friday. It has been a nice four day weekend.
Jacquelyn's last day of school this week is Wednesday and mine is Thursday. Will be celebrating Jacquelyn's birthday Friday, so I may not be around for Wolves vs Liverpool.
One nil Chelsea
Pedro with a tap in with all the work done by Hazard
BUGGER! PEDRO GIVES CHELSEA THE LEAD AGAINST THE RUN OF PLAY WITH AN EASY TAP IN.
I have to go to work all this week
Are you done Bob?
GOAL! Pedro opens the scoring for the Yellows.
Nah - I'm in all week - we finish Finals on Friday.
That seems late to me!
Jon is done at HVCC
It was actually a great team goal with about forty to fifty passes involved with that goal. It culminated in a shot from Hazard being blocked then he went on a run down the left and passed for an easy far post tap in for Pedro.
Saints take the lead
My aunt texts... WHAT A GOAL
WOW! Saints take the lead vs the Gunners. That should take them out of the drop zone. Steve will not be pleased.
Yeah - every six or seven years, we go really close to Christmas and then it backs up from there.
Danny Ings with the goal
Danny Ings with the goal, assisted by Matt Target. The shot from Ings definitely was on target
Saints out of the drop zone, ahead of Burnley on goal difference , who now replace them. Bob will be pleased.
Hibs now two up vs Celtic.
Gooner I'm sure is not pleased at all.
We go all the way to Friday
We actually don't go back until Jan 3(Thursday)
Next year, hopefully my last one of teaching, we should get a full TWO WEEKS OFF
It looks as if Olivier Giroud has had plenty of time on the bench to work on his grooming. Very flash.
Not sure if my Aunt Janet was happy with the goal... she is sitting in Portsmouth
Arsenal tie it up
Our last day is Thursday then we go back Monday January 7th for a work day then the students return on Tuesday January 8th.
Miki with the goal, assisted by Nacho.
That's a nice break!!
I am jealous
March has a long range effort easily saved by the Kepa in December.
With that Pedro goal, Chelsea has leapfrogged Arsenal back into fourth.
GOAL! Hazard makes it 2-0!
GOAL !!!HAZARD EASILY PUTS CHELSEA TWO UP.
One loose ball and Chelski were off to the races. Willian with a simple ball to Hazard and he ran on to score easily.
Balogoun gifted possession to Willian near the halfway line and he put through Hazard, who beat Stephens for Speed and finished past the stranded Matty Ryan
Did anyone see the Seagull flying around Hazard's head as he was about to score? It sure didn't distract him.
That Gunners goal moves the Saints back in the drop zone, third from bottom. ahead of the Terriers on goal difference.
Brighton look outclassed here - they need the seagulls to distract the Chelski players a little bit more.
Pedro with a cross dunked of a Seagulls defender's head for a Chelsea corner.
The corner from Willian is headed just wide by Rudiger.
Oh - Rudiger goes just wide with a header. Bit of a push before it though, but the ref didn't see it.
About to go for walkies to get it done before the Anfield Hammering begins
Have fun on walkies. Hopefully, United are the ones doing the hammering.
Southampton up again
This half is winding down at this point - the players will just want to get off and have a nice hot cuppa in the interval.
WOW !!! Saints now lead the Gunners 2-1.
A minute of stoppage time at the AMEX
Enjoy your walkies, mate.
Half time
I am off for walkies
Danny Ings with his and Saints second goal. This one assisted by Nathan Redmond
Chelsea two up at the half at the AMEX.
Hibs have defeated Celtic 2-0. Killie remain top of the SPL. Rangers will replace them at the top of the SPL with a win vs George Hamilton later this morning. Otherwise, they will remain third.
Second half underway from the AMEX. What's in your wallet?
Ping Pong in the Seagulls box off a pass from Hazard. A timely interception by Montoya then laid back by Kante to Pedro , who scoops a shot well over.
Chelski appear to be completely in control of this match.
Kovacic illegally Dunked to the ground and the Seagulls defender was booked for that
Now Desmond at St. Mary's . Danny Ings with both saints goals and Miki with both Gunners goals.
This match has become really dull. NBC should have televised the one from St. Mary's.
What a ding dong at St. Marys!
Back after a chilly walk
The Gunners tie it up as I come into the house
Ings 2 Miki 2
Huge deflection off of a heal... Ala Kane vs Panama
Chris Hughton with a change as Andone is on for Glenn Murray, who received practically no service today.
Southampton will remain in the drop zone with that scoreline. They need a win to jump over Burnley in 17th.
Welcome back everyone. Back for what should be an exciting rest of the morning.
Correct. They would be ahead of Burnley on goal difference.
Oh - off the post from Marcos Alonso!
OH!!! A rocket of a shot from Marcos Alonso off the Sunday Roast on Sunday.
Nice Seagulls possession as a pass is Konckaert off of Marcos Alonso for a Seagulls corner.
Balogoun heads the corner across the box, but it's cleared away
GOAL! March puts Brighton back in the match!
Could this be another match that ushers Desmond into the proceedings on the South Coast?
WAY HAY!!! SEAGULLS BACK IN THIS MARCH AS IT'S MARCHED IN DURING THE MONTH OF DECEMBER.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek has been brought on for Pedro now.
COME ON SEAGULLS!!
Bit early for March, eh MUR?
On my many walks with Shadow, I try and name League and Cup winners down the years. I was thinking the other day about my lifetime... I figured this out for my family and now I am adding you two
Very apt for Today

I DID MY PART.... the rest of you stink!!
Welcome back, mate - how was the walkies?
Nice Seagulls possession with a cross field pass played wide right to Gross. His cross was headed down by Bernardo and put away by March in December.
Sorry. It tried, but fell a bit short.
Loftus Ch should have gotten a shot off there
LOL, Bob. March should sign for Leeds and then they can sing MOT! every time he touches the ball.
I didn't realize that Kathy's birthday is so close to Valentine's Day - that's convenient!
David's Liverpool Championship is canceled out by England winning he World Cup
BOB... no excuses!!
The Seagulls have definitely "Marched" their way back into this match . Game on.
All those facts and the one you take out is Kathy's birthday is close to VD
Sorry, mate.
What was L-C sock problem
Was it not full socks? Was he a plonker and cut off the bottom of his socks?
Ross Barkley about to be introduced.
Elizabeth born 08/30/66. Next league champion Manchester United in May 1967. Last one before SAF took over. Add her to the good guys?
You must have been embarrassed by your display with the Liverpool championship and no WC win
Kovacic coming off then.
Like for like as Ross Barkley is on for Kovacic.
Nice!
You failed with the rest... we all know that
Glad that I helped with the WC win, but a double would have been better
The girls?
Naughty by Stephens on Hazard, which it is not as all he receives is a lecture.
Teams out for Anfield
They keep calling it a cracker... .I don't think so
No Pogba... if Jose stays... he is gone in January
Sotton have a goal called back
Long is offside
They're good guys.
Melanie born 7/22/99. Next League Champion Manchester United May 2000

Bissouma on for Gross.
Bob....Kate?
Thanks, Dave. I guess I'm the bad apple in the household.
VERY TRUE.... but of course... you have the WORLD CUP
Hope she wasn't born the season United were relegated.
Thanks, Dave. Glad to help.
Ollie Giroud about to come on just to brighten Kate's Sunday morning.
Me too
The final roll of the dice from Chris Hughton and hopefully a Knockaert as Locadia comes on.
Keane and Neville questioned why Lingard held a fashion launch during Liverpool week
These modern players!
Who did Olly replace?
Agreed with Keane and the Neviller. Really poor form from Lindy
Did Olly replace Hazard?
Alonso with a yellow..that was dirty
Should have been a red?
Marcos Alonso is in trouble here. He appeared to be the last man back. Should have been sent off. Yellow. Very lucky chappy.
BOB, Kate?
Marcos Alonso pulls down March in December. Did he deny a goal scoring opportunity? Only a booking. Chelsea could have been down a player.
Put it in Seagulls... March to a draw...hopeless
Poor free kick from March in December. High and wide.
SOUTHAMPTON TAKE A LEAD FOR A THIRD TIME
SOUTHAMPTON TAKE A LEAD FOR A THIRD TIME
Giroud came on for Hazard.
WOW !!! Charlie Austin has just given Saints a 3-2 lead vs the Gunners.
Wow! What a match at St. Mary's!
Not sure if this was posted but Hibs beat Celtic 2-0
Killie on top.... more games played though
Brighton have a corner.... go short... SO STUPID
Montoya way off the mark for the Seagulls.
The big boys come up and the ball doesn't go into the box
They try and be too clever... too modern day
A quartet of stoppage time minutes from the AMEX. What's in your wallet? The Chelsea Kepa booked for time wasting,.
Stevie G's lads go top if they defeat George Hamilton. Gers currently one up seventeen minutes in , putting them top.
Brighton throwing the kitchen sink at Chelski now.
Next corner... DOESN'T BEAT THE FIRST MAN!!
STUNNING
Why don't we hear more complaints... it is just the modern game
Look how successful and dangerous England were when they put the ball in the box
The kitchen sink has missed every Chelsea player so far.
A Southampton win takes them out of the bottom 3 and bring Burnley in
It's over at the AMEX as Chelsea scrape out 1-2 win at the AMEX
Added time to added time
Brighton still not going long
That is it
Chelsea win... bad news for Arsenal and United(just kidding)
Over to St Marys... still two minutes to go
All over at the Amex - Chelski hang on for three points. Over to St. Mary's where Arsenal are pressing for the equalizer.
Off to St. Mary's where it's in stoppage time and Saints have a surprising 3-2 win
Not good by the Gunner keeper for the third goal
A late substitution just to ruin UWS' morning.
Austin with the go ahead goal for Saints. Melanie has a concert in Austin this evening. A coincidence?
This long unbeaten run... ending at Southampton... Steve must be fuming!!
What on earth are Arsenal wearing!!!
Bob.... last time... is Kate a good or bad guy!!!!
The Gooner will not be pleased by the late substitution either.
Southampton get three points here, then three at Huddersfield... they'll be challenging United!!
Shane Long booked for an elbow. Could have been red.
Southampton beat Arsenal... new manager effect
A big, big win for the Saints. Doesn't really mean that much for Arsenal. Perhaps United can close the gap a bit this afternoon. We'll soon see.
It's over and the new Saints boss goes bonkers as they upset the Gunners 3-2.
"Another Klopp on our hands"
Leno more like a joke on the late night show as he was Berndt.
Off to take Sparky walkies ahead of the big match

Are you lot feeling good about this one?
I am back from a quick run to the store
United fans trying to sing during YNWA
What did you get me at the store, mate?
I just got an update saying there is a late change to line up for United
What is it?
We are off
Back for the late biggie.
not a sausage
bugger all
Off from Anfield.
Baiily on for Smalling
COME ON MAN UNITED!
TIME TO SHUT UP THESE LIVERPOOL FANS
Did you ever answer the Kate Champions ?
Come on, you Reds!
Smalling injured in the warm up.
Liverpool with the first break... blocked for a corner
They do break with pace....like United used to
Mo Salah goes on a run and passes to Bobby F , whose shot is off of Lindy for a Pool corner.
Then Rash fouled by Keita on a speedy run./
Sorry, I didn't -
Kate - born 1/12/73
First Division Champions in May 1973....Liverpool.
Sorry.
United have the ball in the net early doors but it's flagged for offside because of The Chunk.
Ball in the net... Lukaku was offside stupidly... did he touch it but he took a swing
Free kick curl;ed in and in the back of the net, but disallowed as it was offside by a Chunk
Lukaku needs to be more aware of where he is
Matic needlessly knocks it out... STUPID
Kate helped neither United. Not bad in Fred's book.
A very high tempo so far, both teams looking to use their speed in behind.
Decent save by De Gea
Was it a foul on the rebound
