Chelsea is one up at the AMEX while Villa just took the lead at Turf Moor. Wesley with his first Villa goal and Jack Grealish with yet another assist
It's still 0-0 the Evil Den between the Evil Lions and Luton
The goal moves Villa two places above the drop zone.Their claret and Blue Hammers replace them in the drop zone with the Cherries one place above the drop zone. As fate may have it, the Hammers host the Cherries. That's a really vital relegation six pointer
Villa could have been two up, but had a goal disallowed by VAR

Morning, MUR - thanks for getting us started in 2020. I'm ushering in the New Year at Gooner's in Alexandria with a rotten head cold. I opted for getting a good night sleep and am hoping to power through this day of footer.
GOAL !!! THE SEAGULLS TIE IT UP VS CHELSEA. A CORNER WAS HEADED ON BY LEWIS DUNK AND JAHANKBASH SCORED WITH A SPECTACULAR VOLLEYED BICYCLE KICK
Good Morning, Bob.Glad to help Happy New Year. I attempted to get a good night sleep, but woke up around the start of the match. Missed the first few minutes

That Brighton goal is good for United's cause.

Reese James booked for a foul on Trossard just outside the Chelsea box
Free kick from Dunk straight to the Chelsea Kepa and it finishes 1-1 at the AMEX
A couple of minutes remaining at Turf Moor
That's a brilliant result for all those looking to break into the top four Champions League slots.
Villa hold on to win 1-2 at Turf Moor and move two places above the drop zone. They key match for Villa will be the Hammers vs the Cherries later today
Villa hold on for the win!
So glad Chelsea drop two points....Lets' have United get within two points!
Off to the store before the 3 o'clockers
Gooner is not at all optimistic about today's clash, especially after having lost Callum Chambers to an ACL tear. That leaves Mustafi and Sideshow Bob for a comedy act in the central defense for the Arsenal.
Southampton v. Spurs has started up on the NBC Sports.
Back from walkies and feeding the pets. Watching the match on NBCSN and Premier League Gold Rush , which is currently the same as the match on the telly
I know the Gunners have lost four in a row at home, but expect a tough match from the Gunners
YIKES! The Evil Lions scored three times in the last twenty minutes to defeat Luton 3-1. Matt Smith was one of the goal scorers
Cambridge on top vs Jayne Mansfield as is Exeter at Forest green in a promotion six pointer
I switched to the Toon vs Foxes on Gold since goal rush is showing the televised match. Dub forced to push away a Foxes cross
Wigan on top at St. Andrews while Bob will not be pleased that the Bees have taken the lead at Ashton Gate

GOAL !!! THE SAINTS TAKE THE LEAD VS THE SPURS
GOAL! Gooner is a happy chappy as Danny Ings slams home Soton's opener.
jjOSE WILL BE NONE TOO PLEASED WITH THE DEFENDING. aFTER GIVING AWAY POSSESSION SEVERAL TIMES A LONG BALL FROM THE BACK FOUND dANNY iNGS , WHO MADE A RIGHT FOOL OF tOBY THEN BETAT gAZZA EASILY at the near post
That's good news for United as well.
Fleetwood Mac takes the lead vs the Black Cats
Coventry two up at Tranny, giving them a real undressing.
The Fake Dons on top vs Bristol Rovers

Not happy that Brentford are 0-1 up over Bristol Titties.

Scores not going our way today. I'd be happy with a draw at the Hawthorns, honestly.
The Bees two up at Bristol Titties. Bob is feeling stung by this update
QPR two up vs Cardiff
A draw at the Hawthorns would be a good result for both sides ahead of the Dahlgren Derby on Monday
Deulofeu gives the improving Hornets the lead vs Wolves in the W Derby
The Hornets still second from bottom, but just one point from safety
Posh on top at Abe Lincoln. That will tarish his legacy
Rotherham on top vs the Tangerines
Motley Crewe three up vs Carlisle
Not happy about the Championship results so far. Although, I suppose Fulham being held to a draw at the Cottage by Reading is good enough.
Donny Trump on top vs Oxford United
I am back from the store... Spurs behind, Wolves behind...all good for United
No Soccer Saturday on Wednesday today.... that stinks!
Goal Rush is the same match as NBCSN...it should be another match
GOAL !!!AYOZE GIVES THE FOXES THE LEAD ON HIS RETURN TO SJP. HE WAS GIFTED POSSESSION BY THE TOON LEFT BACK THEN TURNED A DEFENDER BEFORE SCORING WITH A WELL PLACED SHOT
Welcome back, Dave. I agree with you. I'm watching the Toon vs the Foxes
GOAL !!! PRESIDENT NUMBER FOUR PUTS THE FOXES TWO UP
Another defensive error from Le Jeune as a pass from a Foxes player found the Fourth President and he scored with a Powerful shot in the upper 90
Leicester rolling right along, even without Jamie Vardy.
Jayne Mansfield ties it up at Cambridge while Motley Crewe a Barber Shop Quartet up vs Carlisle.
Table topping Swindon ties it up at Argyle Sweater
Brentford and Forest have reduced the gap with us to 8 points. I'm hoping that we can extend that to at least nine points. Anything more is dreamland.
Rovers get a goal back at Forest
Fulham losing!!
UWS will be delighted that Pompey has taken the lead at the Gils
PNE losing at home as well...only Brentford didn't read the script

Need a couple of goals from the hosts at Ashton Gate
Need a couple of goals from the visitors at the City Ground
At the other Saints, SJP, Brucey makers a triple substitution . Jethro Williams for Yeltsin, Emil Kraft for Manquillo, and one of the Longstaff brothers for Shelvey. Those are the final rolls of the dice from Brucey as the second half is underway from SJP
Who will be going down
Watford on a roll
Southampton on a roll
No pen for hand ball.... I think it was
Bloody VAR!
Reading two up at Fulham!
Those Bristol City goals and a Leeds win would cap off a great start top the New Year for Bob
Charlie Adam with that goal at Bob and Kate's for a surprise two goal lead
Two nil Hornets!
Terriers tie it up vs the Potters While QPR four up v Cardiff
Doucourre with that goal, which is good news for United
Terriers now lead Stoke 2-1
The announcer at SJP mentioned that the Toon will play the rest of the match with ten men since a player went off injured and Brucey made all three substitutions at the half
The Tractor Boys take the lead at Wycombe in a promotion six pointer
just noticed Ipswich on up at the leaders
Pompey in 8th only three points behind Ipswich in Second

Hope both Norther Londoners have a rotten day!!
I second that .
Bob will be pleased that The Tigers have taken the lead at Hillsborough
Wycombe ties it up vs the Tractor Boys
Gooner is delighted by proceedings at St Marys.
QPR half a dozen up vs Cardiff

Ball in the net... Kane nets but is offside....and it looks like he's done a hammy!!
As long as he's fit for the summer
I think he might have been onside
Harry Kane knocks it in the net but is ruled offside and he's done his hammy. He's trudging off and Lamela will replace him.
Is VAR checking?
Apparently yes
Harry Kane and Not Abel to tie it up off the free kick from Eriksen because he was offside
Still checking
VAR sucks
On one of United's goals.... we had to stand and wait
offside given
Rovers get a goal back
3-2
The Check is over and the goal is disallowed. Saints still lead 1-0
Glad to be able to concentrate on the match from the Hawthorns before the one at the Emirates
A right old ding dong at the City ground
Watford go very close with a header...well saved
Jose haven't problems on the bench....gets a yellow
Would love to see Jose get another yellow.
Wigan extend their lead at St Andrews
Mourinho picks up a yellow card there for saying something out of turn to Ralph. And the Soton faithful strike up a chorus of "Fuck Off Mourinho!" to the tune of "La Donna Mobile." Nice touch.
Wigan takes a 1-3 lead at St. Andrews
QPR really giving it large to Hull today. Cor!
Nice from the Saints fans and typically moronic from Jose

Really starting to worry for Norwich. They're being cut adrift.

Hope not!
Oh - Shane Long should have buried that one for 2-0.
The Bees could be . They're in a great run of form. Haven't been in the top flight since 1947
Oh- and a mad scramble in the Saints box and Moura goes close with a deflected effort.
Lucas Moura with a shot that takes a wicked deflection just wide. Nearly 1-1
Leicester three up....another lovely goal by the Foxes
GOAL !!! CHOUDRY PUTS THE FOXES THREE UP WITH A SHOT OFF THE UNDERSIDE OF THE BAR FROM JUST OUTSIDE THE BOX
