Morning, Dave - thanks for getting us going this morning on the last day of the domestic season. I really appreciate your laying out all of the permutations for the European slots and relegation slots - that's really helpful.
Of course, the footie won't stop here. The Championship playoffs start this afternoon and continue all week. The Cup Final is next Saturday and then we get into the Europa and Champions League wrap up. Should be a thrilling August.
I'm off to enjoy a relaxing shower before the matches start up.
Morning Bob, just back from a walk with Kathy and Shadow. Another nice day here
Hope your weather is ok David. I the storm affecting you?
Good Bob and Dave. Great point, Dave.
I am very nervous about today's matches. United have instilled me with no confidence with their displays!. 5Live are talking about United struggling against the press.... don't phaff about with it at the back then!!
I would LOVE Chelsea to lose today!!
My dream scenario....Chelsea three down at home...United and Leicester play out a draw....bye bye Chelsea!!
Gold.... when I opened up the link...it says that next season it will be on Peacock...wonder what that means
NBC are just looking for money!! Gold! Commercials! More commercials!
Morning David....is the storm anywhere near you?
We have received a lot of rain. The worst was yesterday evening when we had tropical storm force windows. No damage of any sort. It's been raining non stop since shortly after lunch. The street flooded last night, but is no longer flooded. Still raining and the back yard is partially flooded.
5 minutes before the line ups are announced... I have to make sure my strongest line up is ready for my final
I have won 8 weeks in a row and was the top seed. I am playing the team that was 5th seed....he's had some good weeks too!
Glad there has been no damage. I was worried you wouldn't have power today!
When is supposed to stop?
The eye made landfall about 40 miles NE of us yesterday afternoon and it was closest to us between 7 and 9 PM yesterday evening. when it was about 20 miles north us. It was a downpour with 45 mph winds gusting to 60 mph. I think the storm is now in Mexico. It's currently a moderate steady rain with about 25 mph winds
So... here is where we stand
ALL THREE teams chasing a Champions League spot have it in their own hands!!
United... win, draw or Chelsea loss
Leicester....win or a draw with a Chelsea loss
Chelsea... win, draw, a loss with a Leicester loss
NBC announced that Frank made a big move
Dropping Kepa?
BBC just announce it.... Keep dropped
I think it's supposed to rain the rest of the day with winds gradually decreasing. Scatted thunderstorms tomorrow through Wednesday then back to normal
Kepa has been inconsistent , but willy Cabs may be coasting Lamps quite a fare if the decision backfires
Wolves need to match Spurs to make the EL for sure

The other five matches don't matter
very annoyed that Gold are showing Soccer Saturday(Sunday) any more!
This is a day to watch it!
Modern Day Football
NBC showing Caba and Kepa warming up.....KICKING
The local NBC not showing the pre-match show. They're talking about the storm . Harlingen has received 9.6 inches of rain and coun ting. Some rural areas about thirty miles north/northeast of Harlingen got 15 to 17 inches
Aren't showing SS
Are you watching NBCSN for the pre-show?
Bob has taken the world's longest shower of all time!
I don't see the televised matches not being shown on Gold1
Why not!!
NBC is really ticking me off!
They were so good at the beginning...now it is pathetic
COME ON WOLVES!!!
I found links to the televised games on the NBCSN website....not Gold
Decisions! Decisions! Will have The Foxes vs United and the Hammers vs Villa on the telly. Chelsea vs Wolves on the phone. Now I need to pick two matches to watch , one for each computer
I am watching the pre game show
Guaranteed goals at the Etihad.
Deciding 3rd Test Match update
Day 3
England 86 for 0
England lead by 258 runs with 10 wickets remaining.
All looking rosy for England except the Manchester weather forecast being awful tomorrow...probably a washout
When should they declare?
Morning, boys - I'm back from the world's longest shower and looking forward to the drama. I'm not sure that the Premier League can live up to the high standards set by the Championship last week but it should still be entertaining.
So, which two matches are we watching? I'm thinking Leicester v. United on the big screen and West Ham v. Villa on the PIP window.
Of course, United on the TV....I have the Chelsea/Wolves and WH/AV on the computer and perhaps more
We all seem to agree on what to watch. The satellite just went out. BUGGER!
Hang in there, David - I hope that Hannah doesn't knock out your coverage.
You must be squeaky clean mate!
Good luck to all of the LOB!
Here we go, then. Kick off time!
Got the Foxes vs United on one computer
NBC... have started
We are off at the King Power
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
Welcome, Steve - great to have you on board this morning.
Both matches on my computer are delayed of course
Got United on the computer . They're off from the KP /.
COME ON MAN UNITED!
United almost in
Offside called
Got Chelsea vs Wolves on the phone
Oh - Martial goes down in the box but he's flagged offside. The replay shows he took a dive.
Got Hammers vs Villa on the telly
stop fooling around at the back United
Obiwan had a chance to attack but didn't
Wow - Newcastle have taken the lead against Liverpool at St. James' Park. I have to say that Liverpool since clinching the title have been really disappointing. It's like they don't care at all.
Leeds showed how to be true champions. We had two matches beyond the point at which we had won the title and we thumped both Derby away and Charlton at home. That's true champions style.
The local NBC showing storm coverage instead of the match, so I have the matches from Goodison and the Upton Park on the telly
Come on United
Bruno to take a corner......cleared
That sucks David
You can watch United on NBCSN not Gold
Wolves almost in
I think Wolves will take care of business for United today.
Just score three quick ones United... make my day like Bob's has been as of late
United in the box...cut back didn't hit teammate
Decent start by United but get some shots off
Arsenal take the lead... Aubum..curtains for Watford
Wolves need to win to do that Bob
Aubameyang has put Arsenal 1-0 up from the penalty spot. Watford in real trouble now.
Leicester want a pen... VAR...will it take a look?
Norwich take the lead vs City!
The Gunners take the lead vs the Hornets. As things stand Villa is safe
OMG....NBC going away from United match!!
Glad I have the match from the KP on the NBC Sports site
Norwich goal taken back!
Harry Maguiure booked for a stupid foul Ndidi on his return to the KP
Nice pass and effort Greenwood...header looped over
PENALTY TO THE CHERRIES
Don't get me wrong - I love John Lewis; he's a role model for all of us. But don't cut away from the match. Come on!
City take the lead of course
Stupid hand ball by Rich Arlison as a Cherries free kick was headed down. VAR checking, but definite hand ball
Spurs take the lead...Kane with the goal
Bournemouth take the lead
GOAL !!! JOSH KING GIVES THE CHERRIES THE LEAD WITH A WELL PLACED PENALTY. PICKFORD DOVE THE CORRECT WAY
WHAT THE HELL WERE UNITED DOING!!
ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC!!
Phew - Ndidi went a bit too close for comfort there.
Cherries only up if Villa lose
I can't believe NBC are doing this. There are plenty of other channels to show it on
Ndid just over from just outside the box. Poor by Matic
United karate chop their way to a corner off of James Justin
One goal for West Ham would mean Bournemouth would be safe
Sattelite just went out again. Have United on the computer
no one in the box for United!
Oh - Bruno did really well to pull one back but no one was following in.
I can't get United's match on the computer
Got Chelsea vs Wolves on the phone and United on the computer
Lindelof was running through treacle there; he'd better make sure not to get isolated against Vardy.
Finally I got it
Of course, it is behind the times
It's raining cats and dogs here
How bad has Maguire been!!!
Sorry, David - it's a lovely day here.
They are talking about all the permutations for going down... saying how Bournemouth have the least chance... agreed but win and the other two lose... very possible
Martial almost in... GET SHOT OFF
Come on WOLVES!!
Get a goal
Villa hanging on by a thread now. One goal and they'd be in the muck.
Come on United... GO FORWARD!!!
Bissouma has put Brighton 0-1 up at Turf Moor.
United are walking!
Williams almost in... go to the ball Rashford
Oh - Ihenacho with a great run but then took the wrong option.
United survive a break
That wasn't good by De Gea!!
Watford two down
Kieran Tierney have put Arsenal 2-0 up.
Don't know why De Gea is so upset..Vardy had the right to it... Save the shot without fumbling it
Kieran Tierney puts the Gunners two up. Hornets going down
Blades take the lead St Marys
Come on UNITED!!
Kate was just noticing OGS on the sideline during the water break and was wondering if you lot like him as a manager. I wasn't sure how to answer that. What do you think?
United are not very creative at all!!
I'm okay with him... I just wish he'd make them play forward more
I don't think they need a "BIG" name
Not happy with Maguire at all
Here we go again... United losing in their final third!!
Matic is a major culprit
If Unite play like this.... a last minute goal would be a disaster.... TAKE THE LEAD
Got five matches on. Matches from the EM and London Stadium on the telly, from Goodison Park and STamford Bridge on phones and from the KP on the big computer
United are clueless!!
They are just passing it and going no where
BE QUICKER!!
Evil Blades on top at St. Mary's. It doesn't matter
Lovely finish by Bruno but it's ruled offside, sadly.
Ball in the net... offside...
that ball won't work
Well offside
My link is 44 seconds behind the TV
Bruno with a goal disallowed for offside . Nice chipped pass from Pogba
GOAL! GUNNERS GO THREE UP
Watford are there down!
What is United doing back there!
CLOSE HIM DOWN!!!
Oh - Thielemans pokes one just wide. This one is enthralling.
I hope NBC go at half time
United STILL playing around at the back!!
WHY DOESN'T ANYONE ELSE SAY ANYTHING!!
So Watford are down
Up to Villa or Cherries
Crikey - Aubemayang has scored another. 3-0 over Watford, who are in collapse.
Aubama is now up to 22 goals. One more and he'll be level with Vardy.
Bruno is down...hope he is okay!
That looks bad
An extremely simple goal. Long throw from Kieran Tiernay and Hornets ball watching. Aubama out muscled Craig Dawson and scored with an overhead half volley
Yikes! Not good at all.
The way United are defending... our best chance is a Wolves win
So, Norwich and Watford are gone, then. The drama is now fixed on Villa and Bournemouth.
Hornets playing as if they accepted their fate prior to kickoff. Horrible
Come on United...start playing attacking football!!
Fortunately it looks as if the John Lewis memorial is on "Alabama time," they may delay until half-time.
Looks like absolutely nothing is going on at SB.
United still looking to go backwards first
That Saar was a tame Hornets shot to match their performance
Didn't notice Liverpool were behind....now they are tied
Marcos Alonso with a shot deflected for a Chelsea corner
Seagulls on top at Turf Moor
Definitely want the Bees to sting the Swans later today!
Will the Hornets be replaced by the Bees
United survive another worrying chance
GO FORWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everton tie it up
Rashford with a chance....bugger
United lucky that was a miss hit by Vardy
Advantage Villa again
Moise Kean with a tap in at the far post
the way it stands... villa could lose
Seamus Coleman with a pass to Theo and his pass was tapped in at the far post and My Howe Eddie is not too Kean about that
Remember that goal that never was against the Blades....they will survive because of that!!
If they get a point today...they would have stayed up anyway
Watford get a goal back
GOAL !!! HORNETS PULL IT BACK TO 3-1 WITH A SPOT KICK FROM TROY DEENEY
United are giving Leicester so much space back there
Bit too little and too late from Watford.
Not Wellie done by Sideshow Bob on Wellie's return to the EM as he was tripped and Deeney scored from the spot
Not a good pass by Bruno
United are not being dangerous at all!
This has been useless by United.... last three and a half games... drawn, loss, draw...drawing!
Decent save by Flappy to prevent Villa taking the lead
Almost in... better pass an United would have been in
An LOB blogging trio of stoppage time minutes at the KP
City two up
Bournemouth retake the lead
United go close twice
GOAL CHERRIES TAKE A 1-2 LEAD
DAMN IT... Chelsea take the lead
Mount with the goal
Maybe this will wake up United!!!!!
Sergio Rico with nice free kick headed in by Thomas Jefferson Lerma
I'd love to see Bournemouth stay up.
Half time
TWO NIL CHELSEA!
Oh dear - as we switch channels, Giroud shovels home a second goal. So United will have to rely on themselves.
It's 0-0 at the half at the KP. United barely hanging on
I have a bad feeling!
GOAL !!!OLLY PUTS CHELSEA TWO UP
Pressure is really on United!!!
Will they go out to win?
Will they go out to draw?
The latter is REALLY dangerous!
Noice work by Pulisic and Mason Mount then Olly scored past the on rushing Rui Patricio
VAR is checking that Raul Jimenez elbow to the chest for a red card. Nothing doing.
Chelsea two up at the half
Looks like we won't miss the match
Excellent timing with the John Lewis memorial. And they're making good pace with the horse and buggy. Go on!
Does Steve like Arsenal's new shirts on show today
United's back four.... I don't trust at all
The timing is perfect... we are back for the second half
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
We are off
Wahay - they got John over that bridge with maximum efficiency and we're back on at the KP.
Second half underway from the KP.
COME ON MAN UNITED!
Come on United.... we need a win!
I want to finish third let alone fourth...I fear it will be fifth
Martial...thru.... TAKE SHOT!!!!
Oh - Martial was through there but an excellent tackle stopped him.
Why go inside!
