Evening, chaps - it's a big night in domestic footer. The marquee match is that League Cup semi final second leg from Villa Park. That's the one that ESPN Plus is featuring. The tie was deadlocked at 1-1 after the first leg at Filbert Street. All to play tonight.
There is a full slate of Championship matches on tonight.
The most important ones are Cardiff v. West Brom (1st), Leeds (2nd) v. Millwall (8th), Forest (4th) v. Brentford (5th).
Fulham (3rd) and PNE (6th) both have the night off as they've already played their 29th match of the season. That will allow us to put distance between us and the trailing pack again.
A draw between Forest and Brentford would be very helpful.
The Leeds side for tonight's clash:
Casilla, Ayling, White, Cooper, Dallas, Alioski, Klich, Harrison, Costa, Hernandez, Bamford.
Subs: Meslier, Strujk, Casey, Shackleton, Poveda, Stevens, Roberts.
So, our new 19 year-old winger Ian Poveda is on the bench, while our big signing Kevin-Jean Augustin from Leipzig is watching from the stands.
Huge reception for Big Kev from the Elland Road faithful tonight. He has the look of a young Jimmy-Floyd Hasselbaink. Be still my heart!
Kick-off time!
Some sloppy defending allows Jed Wallace in for a shot on goal for Millwall. Knock it off!
Early corner to Millwall. Not liking this start at all.
Good Afternoon, Bob. Here to join you for the afternoon footie
Watching the League Cup semi on Plus. It's 0-0 at Villa Park and 1-1 on agg.
The Fourth President has a long-range effort turned around by Nyland
Bollocks - Millwall have taken the lead from that corner. Shaun Hutchinson with the headed effort. Not the start I'd wanted.
GOAL !! VILLA TAKE THE LEAD ON THE BREAK. DOUGLA LUIZ LED A BREAK , PASSED TO GREALISH AND HIS CHEEKY BACK HEEL FOUND MATT TARGETT , WHO WAS ON TARGET WITH A WELL PLACED FINISH
VILLA LEAD 1-0 ON THE NIGHT and 2-1 on egg
Grealish is fouled by the Fourth President just outside the Foxes box
Good response from us. Stu Dallas lays the ball off to Alioski to strike from the edge of the box.
OH! The free kick from El Gazi was an inch or two over as it ghosted past Kasper.
Afternoon, MUR - how are you mate?
Sorry about the goal, Bob.
COME ON LEEDS! MOT! LETS TIE IT UP
Great chance for Patrick there. His shot is well saved by Bialkowski.
Thanks, mate - we're at least on the front foot now.
Doing well, than k you for asking. How about you?
Bialkowski played for the Tractor Boys there post few seasons prior to going to the dark side.
Klich tries one from range but his shot is charged down.
I'm enjoying the commentary from Elland Road on FotMob now.
Blackburn has taken the lead vs QPR while Forest has taken the lead at the Bees in that playoff six pointer
Cambridge host Salford in a meeting between the two Daves favorite L2 teams
Stu Dallas earns a corner for Leeds now. It's wasted and Millwall win a free kick in our half now.
Bollocks! Millwall have got a penalty now!
The big match in L1 is Rotherham vs the Tractor Boys in a meeting of the top two team in L1
YIKES! SAVE IT, CASILLA
Jed Wallace converts and we're really in a hole now. 0-2 down.
bugger! jed wallace puts the evil lions two up from the spot. Sorry, Bob
Meanwhile, Forest have taken the lead at Brentford and are breathing down our necks.
COME ON LEEDS ! YOU CAN COME BACK. MOT!
Villa with a goal disallowed for offside off nice one touch passing. Still 1-0
Set pieces are proving to be our Achilles Heel tonight. Let's hope we can at least get one back before half time.
QPR ties it up at Ewood Park
Oh - another big chance for Patrick. Alioski found him at the back post. But he nodded down into a defender. Out for a corner.
From the corner, Coop has a free header. Straight at their keeper, unfortunately.
The Terriers take the lead at the Tigers
Pablo gets to the by-line and pulls one back. Can't quite connect with a striker but it's out for a corner.
Half an hour in and we really need a goal back sooner rather than later.
OH! The Foxes nearly ties it up three times . Nyland tipped a rocket off a shot from Tielmans on to the bar then Marvellous Nakamba blocked a shot from the Fourth President then Ezra Konsa blocked for a Foxes corner
Blackburn now leads QPR 2-1 while Bob will not be pleased that Not A Big Club has taken the lead at the DW
The Foxes are not pleased that a shot from the Fourth President hit Marvellous Nakamba on the arm and VAR said no penalty. Not a marvelous decision from VAR
Adam Rooney has given Salford the lead at Cambridge
Millwall nearly in there again - I'm on pins and needles here.
Not a Big Club have gone 0-1 up over Wigan. Not good news.
Millwall have closed the gap to one point with us now. Danger zone territory.
Leeds defense caught out again but Millwall thankfully bollixed it up.
El Gazi has a shot blocked by Cyuncu for a Villa corner
YIKES! It's getting tight at the top of the Championship. The Evil Lions are the last team we want in the Prem
Villa lead 1-0 at the half and 2-1 on agg.
Heading into first half stoppage time now. Not happy at all.
Rotherham has taken the lead vs the Tractor Boys and now replace the Tractor Boys at the top of L1
Indeed it is - these last three matches for us have been disastrous!
Half-time - well, I was hoping that the January signings might have lit the place up but this has been dreadful so far. We need three goals in the second half but I'm not sure where they're going to come for.
The second half is underway from Villa Park. No changes from either side
UWS will be pleased that Pompey has taken the lead at Abe Lincoln's place
Second half about to start up again. I'm hoping that the boss will throw Poveda into the mix right from the off.
I am here for the second half AS LEEDS GET A GOAL BACK!!!
Bamford knocks one in
GAME ON!!!
COME ON LEEDS!
YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!
Patrick has stabbed home from close range!
OH!!! Just wide by Jack Grealish off a run and pass from Matt Targett that was on target
Good afternoon, Dave
Let's go and win it now!
Just call me the good luck charm
Baggies losing
Brentford losing
Hiya, UWS! Welcome to the party.
WAY HAY! Congrats, Bob.
COME ON LKEEDS! LET'S USHER ON DESMOND TO ER
Apparently, twitter is saying United have FINALLY made a deal for Fernandez. I hope it's true and I hope he's good!
80% fit Vardy is on for the Foxes
LIKE FOR LIKE AS VARDY IS ON FOR AYOZE
Oh - Patrick has a shot saved by Bialkowski! Out for a corner.
Let's knock this corner straight in again!
Silly yellow card for Konsa and will be out of the Final
Ezri Konsa is a moron . He's booked form throwing a tantrum because he thought Villa should have had a throw. He's not eligible for the final due to a booking in the first leg. That stupidity has just cost him
Let's hope United can sign Bruno Fernandes
Kiko saves well from Bradshaw - corner to Millwall. Mark 'em up, this time!
Salford is two up at Cambridge in a meeting off the Daves favorite L2 teams
Wycombe is two up vs the Tangerines. The Tractor Boys must be down to third as they're still losing 1-0 at Rotherham
Oh - Alioski puts in a lovely cross but Patrick heads just inches wide!
Wigan tie it up against Wednesday on Tuesday
Wigan have leveled it against Not a Big Club. Lovely.
Daily Mail says breakthrough has been made
Hope he's a good
Bob will be delighted no matter what day of the week it is
It's about bloody time if he is
Oh - Pablo puts a great cross in but Harrison is denied by another fine stop by Bialkowski. The Millwall keeper has kept his side in it.
Bamford misses a header... goes just wide
COME ON LEEDS
IT'S LEEDS TIME
Much better from the Leeds. We need a second goal pronto.
Superb defensive header out for a corner by Chilly after a poor pass from Kasper
"Leeds seriously knocking on the door"
Baggies tie it up
West Brom are 1-1 with Cardiff now.
oooh.....how did Villa not score!
Great pass by Grealish...miss two mates by inches
Harrison wins us a free kick now. We must score from this one.
OH! Superb ball in the box by Grealish and a wide open Samata fails to connect for an easy tap in. Villa should have gone two up
Salford three up at Cambridge
DESMOND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
Pablo, you beauty! 2-2!
Samattta, who had a great to chance to score on his Villa debut and had a first half goal disallowed for offside, is replaced by Keenan Davis
I am getting updates from FotMob before the audio comes thru on Fotmob
Sorry if I am ruining it for you
WAY HAY! Congrats, Bob. Delighted.
LET'S WIN IT LEEDS
Now let's get the winner!
No probs, Dave
GET THE WINNER!!
Started off horribly.... could end brilliantly
COME ON
The suspended finalist heads over a corner from Matt Targett that found it's target
A win would put us top again, given that WBA are drawing right now.
The Fourth President is well off Target, unlike the Villa goal scorer, Targett
The Rams take the lead at Luton
YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
Patrick with his brace! 3-2!
3-2!!!!!!!!
Bamford again!
COME ON... ADD MORE!!
Absolutely! Go on and get your hat-trick, Patrick! What a tonic for the out of form striker. He must be looking over his shoulder at our new signing from Leipzig.
GOAL !!! UHENACHO TIESD IT UP FOR THE FOXES ON THE NIGHT AND ON AGG. HE TAPPED IN AT THE FAR POST AS HARVEY BARNES WENT PAST GUILBERT THEN ASSISTED
Rooney with his first Derby goal
but 1-1
Leicester equalize
WAY HAY! Delighted for you, Bob. SCORE MORE , LEEDS!
Leeds on top!!
Now we a Brentford goal vs Forest to extend the gap
Round 15 minutes to go around the country in the Cup and League
Twenty minutes left - I want more goals!
I know that Bob and Dave are aware of this. If it's tied after 90 minutes in the League Cup then no ET. Straight to a penalty shootout.
That would be lovely, UWS.
Cuynucu booked for a poor foul on Grealish
I didn't know it
Thank you
A Villa change. Trezeguet on for El Gazi
You're welcome, Dave
Tyrone Mings clears a pass from the Fourth President for a Foxes corner
Different icon for you. today Bob
It is you in the Blue Devil suit and not the Blue Devil itself
Is it because you're at work
Luton now lead Derby
Cardiff retake the lead against the Baggies
El Gazi is the only Villa player to score from the spot this season. Not wise by Dean smith to sub him as they will be without him if it goes to penalties
WAY HAY! That's great news for Bob. Not for Roon and Co.
Oh - off the bar from Helder! Nearly 4-2!
Leeds whack the crossbar by Pablo
Yeah - for some reason, when I post from work, I get the one with me in the Blue Devil suit. I kind of like it.
Bristol C into the play off spots with a goal at Reading
You look sexy
No subs so far from the boss - I thought he might give the new boy Poveda a run out.
Thanks, mate! I didn't feel sexy in it. It was really hot and a bit stinky inside.
Oh - Pablo curls one just wide of the mark.
El Mohammedy on for Guilbert
Bristol Rovers score their first goal since Boxing Day to take the lead at Boston
What were you two doing on Boxing Day... I know what I was doing
Inside the last ten minutes. I'd still like to see a fourth goal to kill this one off.
Agreed. You do look sexy, Bob
I think I was at home watching Footie on Boxing Day. You were at OT
I was at Kate's dad and stepmom's house. Here's what the comment was:
"Is Bob still watching soccer?!" (LOL!)
Right now the table is like this
Leeds 55
WBA 53
Forest 51
Fulham 49
Brentford 47
Bristol C 47
Preston 46
Really could do with a Brentford goal... that would bring them up to 48 and drop Forest to 49... COME ON YOU BEES
Brilliant!
Damari Gray is on for Harvey Barnes. He may be booed since he's a former Brum player
Nice one.
Leeds miss another huge chance
Oh - a big chance for Klich! Patrick sends Harrison in, he plays the ball back across the face of goal, Helder dummies it for Klich who blasts over from ten yards.
Wonder what I was doing on BD?
We should have romped this one. But I'll take 3-2 if that's it.
Forest sure is the in form side in the Championship. Some bee stinging needs to go on in the Forest
Ha ha - loved those pictures of you and boys at OT!
just wide by Evans !!!
I did too. They were brilliant
Would love to see a late Brentford goal.
Never fails...it can never be two runaway leaders.... always has to be a third
Derby invites in Desmond at Kennilworth Road
Big Matt Smith, an ex-LUFC alum has come on late for Millwall.
A Barber Shop Quartet iof stoppage time minutes. Are they singing about a penalty shootout?
It needs to be a miserable return to ER for Big Matt
No - I hate pens.
Millwall is pushing for play offs
Oh - Alioski now with a shot just over the bar. Another big chance goes begging.
VILLA HAVE WON IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
LAST MINUTE OF EXTRA TIME!
GOAL !!!TREZEGUET HAS JUST PUT VILLAI IN THE L.C. FINAL
I've lost the FotMob commentary now.
Well done, Villa!
Luton have taken the lead!
THE two Egyptian subs combined. The ball was played wide right to El Mohamedy and his cross was well volleyed in at the far post by Trezeguet
Four minutes of stoppage time to come now - hang in there, boys!
Where's Prince William...he surely will be at Wembley!
Of course... probably is going to be City in the Final... we all know how the league match went
A Foxes corner is headed out and Ricardo shoots well over.
Wigan take the lead against Wednesday on Tuesday
Mings fouls the Fourth President just outside the Villabox in the 6th minute of four stoppage time minutes. We've played 150% of stoppage time
Free kick chance for Leicester....I don't think it is a foul
Four were added
We are past Five.... but there was a goal that was celebrated
This is it....
Into the wall.... and that is it!
They have NEVER lost a League Cup semi final
Phew - Millwall with a corner chance - collected by Casilla. That should just about do it. Run it into the corner now.
Rodgers loses a domestic cup match
Into the wall it's over and Villa is in the final. Won 2-1 on the night and 3-2 on agg. Will probably face Citeh in the final
Grealish won't leave now
A late, late substitution to waste some time - Pablo off for Jamie Shackleton. Hang in there!
Pompey two up at Abe Lincoln. Congrats, Dave
Baggies have LOST
Salford four up at Cambridge
WAY HAY! Great news for Bob.
LEEDS HAVE WON!!!
Bolton ties it up vs Bristol Rovers
YESSSSSS!!!!!
We've run out 3-2 winners - a big win for us. Boy, did we have to sweat to get it.
Back on top of the pops!
I'm off to the store to pick up some groceries - thanks for sharing this one with me.
WAY HAY! Top of the Pops! Congrats, Bob
Cheers, Bob. Great chatting.
Forest win 0-1 at the Bees and are now up to third place
Forest have won....still a great night for Leeds after a rotten start
Congrats Bob
Wonder if Our United could do a shocker
I doubt it
TTFN
The Terriers take a 1-2 lead at the Tigers
Cheers, Dave . Great chatting. Enjoy the rest of the day
