Now over to NBC for the big match of the day
They are off at Anfield
From the Beeb about the Fulham missed penalty
"I said to Aboubakar Kamara to leave the ball to Aleksandar Mitrovic, he is the man who shoots the penalties. It is unbelievable, he did not respect me, the club, the team and crowd. I spoke with him, it is not right.
"I wanted to kill him, that is normal when one man takes a ball, only because he scored the last penalty (against Manchester United). It should be Mitrovic, that is it.
Again, this is Liverpool
I can't want them to win
Of course, A Liverpool win would be better for United
Arsenal the last team to take any points off of Liverpool in the league way back in early November
Mane almost strangled the Arsenal man
That could have and should have been a red
ooh I thought Arsenal were going to score there!
Offside but still missed by everyone

Niles with the goal
Only #8 conceded all season

City, it is up to you to win tomorrow and then beat them on Thursday
Talk to you guys later on a lonely day on LOB
TTFN
Thanks for keeping the home fires burning on the blog yesterday, mate. Sorry I couldn't join in. It's more difficult when I'm at Kate's mom's house.
Not the best day for Leeds; however, with Norwich also losing, we didn't lose too much ground in our promotion bid. I'm just happy to see the games ticking along with us still on top. I'm concerned that we've already sold Saiz and may flog Kemar in January. That could really deflate the morale in the camp.
Shocking results around the league, otherwise. What about Spurs? What about Liverpool! Cor!
