A Busy Premier League Sunday Morning , Some FA Cup Matches and Another One Bites the Dust
It's a busy Sunday Morning and it wouldn't be the Premier League of we didn't have a pair of sackings. We all know that the Gunner's Board was bored with Emery and had him walk the plank on Friday. About an hour ago the Pozzo family sacked Quique Sanchez- Flores after only ten matches in charge.
Talking about the Gunners, the first match on NBCSN is the Canaries vs Gunners with former Gunners favorite, Freddie Ljunberg in charge as caretaker manager. The late match on NBCSN is United vs Villa and it's a must win match for United. Wolves vs the Evil Blades is the early match on Gold while the Foxes vs the Toffees is the late match on Gold.
There are ten FA Cup Second matches this morning as well, so join me for all the action on an action packed Sunday morning.

Morning David
Celtic are now 1-4 up!

I'm wondering if the match on Gold will be the better of the two early matches
Well, I am pretty sure Everton won't get anything at the King Power
Are the Foxes the main rival of Liverpool? At least I can root of a team to win the title!!
Ross County vs Celtic is a final and it finished 1-4
I may have to miss the kick off... Shadow is busting to go for a walk
The Foxes are considered Liverpool's closest title rivals. They're third behind Citeh on goals scored. With a win they will be eight points behind Pool and three ahead of Citeh
Have fun on walkies .Is it a winter wonderland?
Morning, chaps - I hope it's going to be a winning morning for both Arsenal and United.
Not quite yet
The snow is starting mid afternoon. It then is supposed to snow for the whole day and night. Stop a bit in the morning and then start up again mid afternoon again on Monday!
Predictions of 9-14 inches up 12-20!!
We are saying goodbye to grass this morning until at least March
Teams in the tunnel now. Great atmosphere around our old stomping grounds.
Teams coming out at Carrow Road as NBC comeback from commercial
I'm sure we are going to go for those stupid split screen commercials......yup...here we go
Morning Bob
Did you text your Beach Buddy with a good luck message?
NOW WE ARE REPEATING COMMERCIALS!
I posted the Euro Draw thread yesterday....don't know what happened with the text on some of it!
I just posted a comment...don't get why!!
Just got the Molineux match loaded up
Really annoys me of course that Arsenal aren't wearing their RED AND WHITE
There isn't a splash of red or white on the Canaries' kit
Arsenal are for some reason wearing all black today; not sure why the traditional red and white would clash with Norwich's yellow and green.
It clashes more than the red!
Snap! You beat me to that comment, UWS.
THE BLADES TAKE AN EARLY LEAD
Thanks for posting that thread about the Euros. I'll clean it up. You probably cut and paste text from another site into it - that's why it came out funny.
Blads for Europe?
I've tried to fix many times!!
Bloody Blades - how are they doing so well this season?!
Did you read my comment?
Overlapping center backs!!
Lys Mousset with a nice finish off a throw, but poor Wolves defending
Oh - I thought Lacazette was going to score an early goal for Freddi there.
How did the Gunners not score there!
Dendoncker booked for fouling Mousset just outside the Wolves box
So weird about the Championship... Norwich were the best by a mile last year. This year... really struggling
Sheffield Utd....should have finished third..... flying high
Villa.... playoffs.... doing fine... not today tho
I don't think the Evil Blades will make Europe. Other clubs will improve and their bubble will burst. I'm predicting midtable.
WOW! It will be a wintry start to December in ENY
Norwich attacking the stands we were in for the Villa match... I thought that was their Sretford End type end and they attack them in the second half. The other end was more of the family enclosure
Wonder if is has changed
Agreed. United need to make Aston Villa look like Aston Vanilla
Cross from Raul Jimenez deflected for a Wolves corner
The Gunners have dominated and are responding to legend, Freddie L, Being in charge
Close range effort from Chambers blocked for a Gunners corner
I gave my cousin a hard time yesterday for the Pompey match
She didn't go to the match and stayed home to put up Christmas decorations
I complained that she is dissing the FA Cup!!
Only 8500 people there...she was part of the 10,000 that didn't show
POOR FORM
Headed off the line by Hernandez to keep it at 0-0 at CR
Agreed. The Cup needs to be taken seriously.
I am off for walkies
I will listen to the match on my phone
I'll be back
TTFN
In the Cup Northants takes the lead vs Notts County as does Posh vs Dover. Both were expected
Cheers, Dave. Enjoy the walkies
Arsenal definitely playing for the new boss here. Much more urgency than they've displayed recently.
OH! Dean Henderson does well to tip over a close range header from Raul Jimenez off a deflected cross from Doherty
Agreed, Bob. Wonder who Steve wants to be the new Gunners permanent boss
The Gils on top vs Donny Trump. We're talking the cup, not the polls.
Enda Stevens booked for making Traore enda up on the floor due to a trip
Gils two up vs Donny Trump
Nice drive there - but Jay Leno was behind it.
Great sweeper keeping from Rui Patricio as Enda Stevens put through Lys Mousset
Nice run by Kolasinac but he should have hit it with his right peg.
Chambers has a free header from the resulting corner - well saved by Krul.
Superb acrobatic save by Ti m Krul from a header from Chambers off a corner from the Beaker
Do you think Marco Silva will make it a hat-trick of managerial sackings this weekend?
GOAL! Pukki squeezes a shot via a deflection past Leno!
1-0 Canaries!
GOAL !!!PUKKI GIVES THE CANARIES THE LEAD WITH A SHOT THAT TOOK A WICKED DEFLECTION ON THE BREAK COMPLETELY AGAINST THE RUN OF PLAY
It was yet another wave of Gunners pressure and Jamaal Lewis won the ball with a nice tackle. He passed to Kenny McLean, who went on a long run and his trough ball found Pukki, who turned and his shot took a wicked deflection off of Sideshow Bob.
Penalty to the Arsenal now - handball by Zimmermann.
PENALTY GUNNERS OFF A FREE KICK FROM THE BEAKER. DEFINITE HAND BALL AND REALLY DUMB. WHAT WAS HE THINKING?
var TO check, but hard to see this being overturned. It's not
Aubama to take now....
Krul gets a yellow for gamesmanship but saves!
Aubama to take.IT'S SAVED BY KRUL. GREAT REFLEXES , BUT AT A NICE HEIGHT AND TO CLOSE TO HIM
VAR checking for encroachment. A retake?
Should be taken again - Krul was off the line and several Norwich players were in the box.
It's going to be retaken then. That was a schoolboy error by those Norwich players.
The penalty to be retaken because Krul was off his line. He should know better
Aubama to take again....
Scores! Krul went the other way and the Aresnal man stuck it in the corner this time. Krul should get a second yellow for these antics.
GOAL! NO MISTAKE THIS TIME AND AUBAMA TUCKS IT AWAY IN THE CORNER SENDING KRUL THE WRONG WAY. IT'S 1-1
The Canaries have only themselves to blame . They should know the rules and it's cost them
So after all of that VAR action, we're even steven again.
I think Krul got away without a second yellow because the antics were before the ref blew his whistle and he appeared to be talking to the other Canary players about not encroaching
In the Cup Exeter in the lead vs Hartlepool while Northants go two up vs Notts County
Last ditch tackle for a Gunners corner
In the cup, all the non league clubs trailing as expected. They have yet to score today
Exeter now two up vs Hartlepool.
Finally a surprise score in the Cup. Maid Stone on top at Bloomfield Road
When is the draw for the Third Round?
Traore has a cross go off of O' Connell for a Wolves corner.
It's tomorrow at 2 PM your time.
In the battle of Hair Bears Todd Cantwell lectured for a nasty foul on Gwen Doozy.
In Serie A Inter on top vs SPAL . That would put them top , a point ahead of Juve
Kick save by Rui Patricio from Fleck off pass from Mousset
Cheers, mate!
Oriel Hernandez singing because he won a corner off of Xakha Khan
Gladbach 1-1 vs Freiburg early doors. Leipzig top, but Gladbach would go top with a win
Glad to help. Not sure what channel is airing the draw.
Yellow card for McLean now.
Fleetwood Mac takes the lead at Crawley
An LOB blogging trio of stoppage time minutes
GOAL !!! TODD CANTWELL GIVES THE CANARIES A 2-1 LEAD
GOAL! Cantwell scores for Norwich right on the stroke of half-time!
A pair of stoppage time minutes at Molineaux
That's a gut punch for the Gunners after playing pretty well in that first half.
Both Canaries goals came down the left and both to stop Gunners attacks. It culminated in a pass from Hernandez to Cantwell for that nice finish
It's 1-1 at the half at Molineaux while the Canaries have come from behind to lead 2-1 at the half.
Crawley ties it up vs Fleetwood Mac
The second half is underway from Molineaux
Now underway from CR
Mousset chests down a pass and McGoldrick forces a kick save from Rui Patricio
Back on at CR - come on, you Gunners!
The Tangerines tie it up vs Maid Stone
Inter two up vs SPAL And about to go top of Serie A
Kenny McLean down for the Canaries
The Tangerines now lead Maid Stone 2-1
The Tangerines now lead Maid Stone 3-1. So much for trailing at the half
Arsenal played pretty well in that first half - if they continue in that vein they should be able to get back into this one.
Cursing in the Streets of Alex? Same old Gunners losing due to careless mistakes. Freddie L has his work cut out for him
Nice close range save by Rui Patricio from McGoldrick
Gunners want a penalty for hand ball. There's no need to surround the ref.
The Tractor Boys take the lead at Coventry
SPAL pulls one back at Inter as it's now 2-1
Aubama wins a corner off of Sam Byram with some LUFC Academy defending
Gunners pushing for that equalizer
GOAL !!! DESMOND AT CR AS AUBAMA BLASTS IN THE EQUALIZER OFF THE CORNER OFF A BLOCKED SHOT
GOAL!! There it is! Aubama with his brace.
Oh - great save, Leno!
oh!!! WHAT a save by Jay Leno as Kenny McLean was through on the break. Corner to the Canaries
The Two Robbies were correct in stating that the Gunners defense is really shaky. They need to do better on defending when they don't have possession.
Now let’s get the winner, Arsenal!
Rangers on top vs Hearts
OH!!! Pukki turns Mustafi then forces a kick save from Jay Leno
Another great save by Leno!
GOAL !!! WOLVES TIE IT UP VS THE EVIL BLADES. MATT DOHERTY HEADS IN A CROSS FROM RAUL JIMENEZ
Wahay!
YIKES! The Gunners Ladies defeated the Bristol City Ladies 11-1. That's not idle gossip.
Not sure why Freddie L has started Mustafi. He's been a real liability. An accident waiting to happen
Chambers fouls Pukki just outside the Gunners box
Jay Leno turns around a Canaries free kick
McGoldrick heads a free kick just wide for the Evil Blade
Fleetwood Mac takes a 1-2 lead at Crawley
Hillock trooping off to be replaced by Torreira.
Torreira on for Joe Willock. A defensive switch from Freddie L
That won't please the Gunners fans who will want a win today against relegation strugglers.
The Gunners will need to grind out a result, which this side hasn't been doing recently.
Bristol Rovers takes the lead vs Argyle Sweater, which is not idle gossip.
The Gunners have been the better side, with Norwich playing on the break even at home.
Hartlepool pulls one back at Exeter . Now 2-1
Bakayo Saka on for Hair Bear 2.0. That's more like it
The Gunners problem is sort of laziness. They don't want to do the hard work off the ball nor close down. If they don't rectify that then they will con tinue to draw matches they dominate
Gils three up vs Donny Trump as are Northants vs Notts County
I agree; they also lack some punch up front.
Sam Bladock , already on a yellow , cynically trips Jota and gets away without a second yellow. Bob will not be pleased.
Jeff will be delighted that Hartlepool have come from two down at Exeter to make ti Desmond
Posh go two up vs Dover.
Gladbach score twice early in the second half to take a 3-1 lead vs Freiburg. That puts Gladbach back on op.
Beundia on for Todd Cantwell , which is the Canaries first change
Rangers go two up vs Hearts . The need five more to go ahead of Celtic on goal difference
Like for Like As Cally Robinson is on for Evil Blades goal score, Lys Mousset
Posh goes three up vs Dover
Notts County scores a consolation goal at Northants . Now 3-1
Argyle Sweater ties it up at Bristol Rovers. That's not idle gossip
Norwich finishing the stronger of the two. Those defensive subs haven't really helped.
The final roll of the dice from Freddie L as Martinelli is on for the Beaker.
Freiburg pulls it back to 3-2 at Gladbach
Steve and Simon singing bout a Barber Shop Quartet if stoppage time minutes at CR
The Evil Blades make a change just to ruin UWS's day as Luke Freemna is on for John Lundstram in stoppage time
Last chance saloon for the Arse.
Luke Freeman concedes a late free kick to Wolves
They're singing for a goal, for sure.
It's cleared and it finishes 1-1 at Molineaux
It finishes Desmond at CR. Not the result Gunners wanted
That's it - Arsenal stay mired in 8th and Norwich mired in the relegation battle. A point isn't really good enough for either side.
Next up - United up against Villa.
Coventry ties it up late vs the Tractor Boys
Sorry I was absent there boys
After the walk, I had to drive Matt to pick up his car at his place in Saratoga....and your horse...
Just to ruin Gooner's morning, here's Lee Dixon to put the knee in the groin for all Arsenal fans.
Welcome back, mate!
Not sure about United's line up
Mata in the #10... doesn't he slow the play down!

Wish this was the 92-93 Season
This was a top of the table clash
Not liking United midfield duo
Pereira and Fred!
I don't know how Pereira gets a match for United. (smh)....
Sadly, no one else!
I guess the plan is for Fred and My Scottish Son playing in the middle with Pogba in the #10
Pos shouldn't be one of the holding men
I have the Leicester Everton match on Gold... teams in the tunnel
NBC back from commercial... they will have them come out and then go to commercial again
Here they come out of the tunnel
I miss the teams running out separately
Leicester Everton meet again in the League Cup quarters soon
Both United and Villa have games too
Villa play a reserve Liverpool match
United host Colchester
NBC... still on bloody commercial...FINALLY BACK
Away we go
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
They're off from OT
COME ON MAN UNITED!
They're off from the KP
We're underway at Old Trafford.
A United win would put United in fifth....just like last weekend
Jack Grealish down off a challenge from Perreira
United better play better that last weekend
Come on, you Red Devils!
Two minutes in
United have failed to get the ball into Villa's half
The big news from the KC is that this could be Marco Silva's last match in charge of the Toffees which would make a hat-trick of sacking s this weekend.
Also, will the Brodge be the next Gunners manager?
Kate is cheering on Leicester today. She's the only one who picked the Foxes to win the title. That seemed a bold prediction back in August but who knows now!
Thought James was in there!
I would have played Lingard instead of Mata
I'm with Kate
Tranny a Barber Shop Quartet up vs 8th tier Chichester City. It was 0-0 at the hour mark
