A Fall Back Sunday Doubleheader






It's a Fall Back Sunday doubleheader of Prem football. It starts with to surprise teams as 9th placed Palace host the 4th place Foxes. Then it concludes with two teams that are unexpectedly struggling as it's the Toffees just one spot above the drop zone hosting the 13th placed Spurs. If you're not busy then join me for all the Prem action, well rested with that extra hour of sleep.

In the Championship , PNE one up at Banjo Boy's lads with about ten minutes remaining. As things stand, PNE would go top , ahead of Leeds on goal difference ahead of the Monday nighter where the Baggies travel to the struggling Potters

It's 0-0 at the end of a cagey half. The Foxes had a couple of chances to score then Kasper was forced to tip over a deflected effort from Schlupp a few minutes before halftime

Schlupp booked for a push from behind on Ayoze. It was, but was minimal contact

Guaita does well to tip over a header from Jonny Evans off the corner from the 4th President then
GOAL !!! SOYUNCU SCORES HIS FIRST FOXES GOAL WITH A HEADER OFF THE NEXT CORNER FROM THE 4TH PRESIDENT

Credit to Ayoze, whose solo run led to the original corner

Long range effort from PVA a few feet over

James Thomkins booked for intentional hand ball to prevent Vardy from being off to the races

10:21 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Play stopped as a player from each team is down in the Foxes box due to a clash of heads. One looks like the Coyote . Not sure which Foxes player is down

10:23 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

YIKES! it's three down. Jonny Evans, Gary Cahill, and the Coyote all down being treated

10:25 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Was a clash of heads between the two Palace players and in the same collision looked an awkward fall from Jonny Evans

10:26 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

After a stoppage of several minutes all three players are up and play resumes

10:27 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Long range effort from Ndidi just wide off a pass laid back from Chilly.

Each side with a substitution. An attacking switch from Uncle Woy as Max Meyer is on for the groggy Coyote and Damari Gray on for Ayoze

10:33 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The final rolls of the dice from Uncle Woy and some 50s politics in a like for like situation. Uncle Woy , like Truman, relieves MacArthur of his command to usher in the era of McCarthyism . Beneteke on for Ayew.

10:37 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Soyuncu booked for a nasty challenge , which leads me to believe he's not a fan of McCarthyism based on the player he fouled.

10:39 AM

Cahill showing signs from when he was down earlier as he has blood oozing down his forehead

10:41 AM

A defensive move from the Brodge as he shuts up shop. Wes Morgan on for Harvey Barnes

10:46 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It started with a short free kick from Tielemanns . About a dozen passes later, Chilly crossed in the box to Vardy He passed out to Damari Gray , who passed back to Vardy for an easy tap in

10:49 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A dozen minutes of stoppage time

10:49 AM

OH! A shot from Chilly comes off the inside of the post

Sorry. A half dozen minutes of stoppage time

Just to ruin UWS's day, the Brodge on his final roll of the dice replaced the 4th president with Dennis Praet at the beginning of stoppage time

Rangers took the lead vs Hearts on the stroke of halftime in a Scots League Cup semi. Celtic defeated Hibs 5-2 in the other semi yesterday

10:52 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It's over as the Foxes win 0-2 at Selhurst for their first win at Selhurst since their title winning season. Not just Uncle woy's first loss vs the Foxes, but the first time he's failed to win vs the Foxes,.

Rangers have defeated Hearts 3-0 in a Scots League Cup semi. It will be an Old Firm final on December 7th

11:58 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Very little action at Goodison , but a booking for each team. Theo for an innocuous challenge on Ben Davies and Eriksen for grabbing back Rich Arlison on an attempted break

12:04 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It's 0-0 at the end of a dreadful half between two out of form teams. Gareth Southgate, in attendance, looked really bored.

12:19 PM

The second half is underway from Goodison Park

12:35 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

VAR checking to see if the Spuds should get a penalty. Very minor contact from Jerry Minor on Number One Son, who went down extremely easily. Nothing doing and rightly so.

12:41 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Now VAR checking something else. Not sure what that is. Play resumes

12:42 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Best chance of the match as Gazzaniga makes a great save from Rich Arlison . Nice long ball from Pickford to Digne , who played a one two with Iwobi then his pass went to Rich Arlison for that chance

12:51 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

GOAL !!!DELLE ALLLI WITH A SUCKER PUNCH AS HE GIVES THE SPUDS THE LEAD. HORRIBLE BACK PASS FROM IWOBITO NUMBER ONE SON. HIS THROUGH BALL WENT THROUGH JERRY MINOR'S LEGS AND DELLE CUT INSIDE MASON HOLGATE THEN SCORED PAST PICKFORD

12:53 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

N'Dummy booked for a wreckless foul on Sidibe.

12:54 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

If the Spuds hold on, this would be their first away win in the Prem since January and first in a dozen away matches

12:55 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Tosun getting ready to come on for the toffees getting directions from assistant, Luis Boa Morte.

12:56 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

OH!!! Nearly an equalizer for the Toffees . Tom Davies pushed by Delle Alli , but stayed on his feet and played a lovely diagonal to Theo . His shot deflected off of Ben Davies inches wide of the goal

12:58 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

That was Theo's last touch of the match as he was replaced by Tosun

12:59 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

VAR checking for a penalty to the Toffees for a possible hand ball by Delle Alli off the corner

12:59 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

After several minutes, nothing doing. It did touch Delle's hand, but Jerry Minor appeared to grab a second earlier. Seemed the right call, but took far too long

1:02 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

First Spuds change as Lo Celso on for N'Dummy

1:02 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Number One Son booked for a nasty challenge on Andre Gomes and now it's been changed to a red card. Gomes down and it's looks really serious. Number One Son besides himself

1:09 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It looks like a broken leg for Andre Gomes and appears that Siggy will come on for him

1:10 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Gomes being stretchered off and a standing ovation. The replay shows it was the landing that caused his ankle to twist

1:11 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Siggy comes on for Andre Gomes

1:13 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Calvert-Lewin came on for Tom Davies in a much needed attacking switch on the final roll of the dice from Marco Silva

1:15 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The subs combine and Calvert-Lewin heads a cross from Siggy inches over

1:15 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Like for like as Foyth is on for Serge Aurier

1:16 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

GOAL !!! TOSUN HEADS IN AN EQUALIZER IN THE EIGHTH MINUTE OF STOPPAGE TIME

A nice long diagonal pass from Jerry Minor was volleyed across the box by Digne and headed in by Tosun

1:29 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A really late final roll of the dice from Mo Po as Ryan Sess, signed from the Cottagers , on for Eriksen

1:31 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It's over and finishes 1-1

1:32 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

That elusive away win for ten men Spuds will have to wait . The Spuds up to 11th while the Toffees stay one place above the drop zone and are now three points clear.

1:33 PM

That's it for me. Hope everyone has a great week.

CHEERS!
