TROPHY DAY
So today is the day that Liverpool and Leeds get their hands on their prize!! Besides the trophy presentations there are other things to be decided today! We start off with my beloved Manchester United taking on West Ham in a crucial match in the chase for the Top Four. It is very strange that United could get two points from the last two games and qualify for CL BUT could get 3 points and not!!! Today could make the path easier! A win by 3+ goals would mean United could lose by a goal at the King Power and still qualify! Chelsea's visit to the Champions in the late match... come on you Reds!!(I hate to say that)
With Leeds having sewn it all up... an easy afternoon for Our Bob!! Baggies and Bees are going to be on pins and needles with their matches. Advantage Bags after the weekend!
Lots to be decided at the bottom.... muddied further with points reduction scenarios
Also, a big day for my Fantasy Team... I need to make up some ground but I have enough players to take me over the line.
Join me

Line ups to be announced in ten minutes
I am sure De Gea will start even after his gaffs at Wembley
I am hoping for the same side that was starting most games... apart from Williams taking over for injured Shaw
Sky Sports News coming to an end
Up next Premier League Live
Still no updates about what match is on what channel for Sunday
Newcastle Liverpool should not be a featured game!
I think there are five big matches
Leicester v United
Chelsea v Wolves
West Ham v Aston Villa
Everton v Bournemouth
Arsenal v Watford
The other matches mean nowt
Newcastle v Liverpool
Burnley v Brighton
Palace v Spurs
Man City v Norwich
Southampton v Shef Utd

Over the top with the De Gea stuff
Antonio worries me today!
Robbie Earle still on about De Gea
NBC love controversy
Sir Kenny D will give the trophy to Hendo today
West Ham out of the tunnel first and now it's United
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
Becky still on about De Gea! He made a few mistakes.... what about all the defenders that lose the ball in the back!
NBC were on a commercial when West Ham came out....and they are on another one!!!
Afternoon, Dave - thanks for getting us going today. Great image - I love the sight of Bielsa pictured next to Klopp.
Welcome Bob
Shut up Becky.....get over it!!
Good afternoon, Bob and Dave
Not a lot at stake in this one. United and West Ham just playing out the string.
Hiya, David!
Very strange that two points from the last two games guarantee Top 4.... 3 points do not!
I just got off the phone with Melanie. Today is her 21st birthday
The crowd noise wasn't complete silenced for the minute silence.....it is a button!
We are off
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
They're off from OT!
COME ON MAN UNITED!
Start fast and on the FRONT foot please!
There is space in front... haven't taken it yet
Welcome David
SHOOT THE DAMN BALL
Not a bright start... ball has not been in the box
Nice shot by Martial....saved
TOO MUCH PASSING NEAR THE BOX FOR UNITED
Score early and often
Bright start from United here. I expect an easy win.
another shot... Greenwood
In addition to what was mentioned the Cottagers can get automatic promotion if BOTH the Baggies and Bees lose
I wish I did
The Hammers still have a very slim chance of being relegated if they have two huge losses AND BOTH villa and the Hornets win by large margins on Sunday
A west will go up with Leeds today.
West Brom from the West Midlands or one of two West London clubs
Leeds is from West Yorkshire. A good year for wests
Happy Birthday Melanie
21 Today
21 Today
She's got the key to the door
Never been 21 before
Her father says she can do what she wants
She shouted hippo-ray
For she's a jolly good fellow
She's 21 today
Move the ball faster United
Williams is wide open out there
Nice lyrics, Dave.
GET THE BALL IN THE BOX!!
You have to sing it
A Man United win would be a great 21st birthday present from the birthday person.
I'm noticing that if the bottom four all lose, Villa could survive with only 34 points. I wonder what the record low total for Premier League survival is.
I can barely carry a tune , but can sing it.
F-M... can't get a cross over... why should I be surprised!
I think the record is 35 points by the Baggies in 2005. That should be a new record.
As I type....United are in third
Nice sing=along, Dave - happy birthday to Melanie!
A big win would be so helpful
Stupid foul by Greenwood
Antonio wins a free kick just outside the United box due to a stupid challenge
Thanks for the excellent anoraking, David.
Struth... really dangerous cross there!
United hadn't a clue what to do there
Great free kick from Cresswell, but thankfully nobody was able to connect
United still trying to pass it around in their box
Thanks for the birthday wishes and for the compliment
United win a free kick.... didn't deliver it into the box...didn't they just see Cresswell's ball
West Ham are doing nowt.
ooh.... Bruno almost in!!
His first touch is good but it hits his other leg
Look what happens when you make a deep run and kick the ball long
COME ON! Superb long ball to Bruno . All he had to do was rap and put United one up. Din't trap it. Great pass from Rash
Not a terrible start... but I still would like to forward more with pace
Finally someone is saying something I said... United win by three...they could lose by one on Sunday
A draw is a decent result , but a Man United win is better.
Maguire tries a long ball down the right...I like that idea
Matic is too negative...never looks forward
KNOCK IT OFF AT THE BACK!
The Hammers would be happy with a one or two goal loss because it would be virtually impossible to be relegated by a loss Sunday due to their vastly superior goal difference
Wonder what Olly will be saying during the two minute timeout in about five minutes
Martial with a decent turn but then fired over.
Martial has a pop... don't mind that at all
United need a goal!!
TOO MUCH PASSING!!
I would imagine that he would just encourage them to keep playing as they have been. United have been all over WH and the chances will keep coming.
Agreed. Eventually United should be able to put one away. Man , not West Ham
Antonio wins the Hammers first corner of the match
Corner cleared, but back to the Hammers
FM offside off a pass from Pogba. The two minute timeout begins
West Ham corner...very dangerous....United struggle with the crossed ball
F-M offside...he had the whole line in front of him!
STAY ONSIDE
Too much passing from United
Play resumes
I actually was against getting rid of Moyes. I think he could have done a good job
It's a return to OT for David Moyes. No fans to heckle him this time
I was glad to get rid of him.Poor form at the end of his tenure and negative tactics
Great ball then United go backwards
Rash tries too fancy of a move...just knock it pass him and attack!
Bruno hit he United Trinity with that shot!
Bruno with a shot that lands in Row P
So bad by Matic... terrible ball and then didn't win the ball back...just let Rice run pass him
Playing it out from the back again!!!
WE ARE NOT THAT GOOD AT IT...KNOCK IT OFF
West Ham slowly working their way into this one - knock it off!
Jarred Bowen with a pass blocked for a Hammers corner
United look shaky back there....EVERY time it goes in the box
Corner taken short and a cross from Jared Bowen headed wide by Ogbonna
Again...United lose possession at the back!!!!
United needs to be at the other end of the pitch
United need a goal sharpish... Manchester that is
And we are walking again
I'm helping Kate with a chore - should be back in a tick.
Have fun, Bob
I don't want United to be patient!!
Right there.... the ball went to Pogba...who passed it right where it came from.... all he had to do is turn and take the space!!
Greenwood...doesn't cross it
Passes to Bruno
United are toothless
GET A SHOT OFF
You can't score if you don't shoot!!
Nice save from a nice shot from Rash
Flappy does well to push away a powerful long range effort straight to him
F-M with a chance at the back post... missed
FM tamely volleys wide off a cross from Brandon Williams
United lucky to survive...that bloke was wide open!
No one is moving in the fron
Greenwood... shot blocked!
Damn it
OH! Bruno with a close range effort blocked off a pas s from Brandon Williams
Best, Kidd and Rooney....not a bad group to be in
They would have scored by now.
Greenwood has the ball and doesn't take a man on one on one.... WHY?
A one or two miller is not good enough!
United need to win by three
WHY DON'T THEY CARE
OH! Antonio with a free header , but straight to De Gea
Antonio with a header...saved
West Ham have been more dangerous than United
Too slow!!
Free kick given away by F-M after Rash and Greeny faffing about with it
Stupid trip by FM on Antonio and booked for that
Short free kick to Declan Rice and he has a rocket of a shot that knocks down Pogba. VAR checking for a possible penalty to the Hammers. Possible hand ball by Pogba
Rice with a shot... blocked by Pogs...Do you thing that is a pen
VAR checking?
I think it will be given
United NEVER want to go into the top four
They will blow it every time
Into stoppage time
It is a pen
Just like at Wembley... a late goal !
It is given. Penalty to the Hammers
Antonio to take....one nil Hammers
GOAL !!! ANTONIO GIVES THE HAMMERS THE LEAD FROM THE SPOT, SENDING DE GEA THE WRONG WAY
Sorry, chaps - WH take the lead just before half time.
The Hammers are one up at the half
United are TOO SLOW!!
A podium built in the Anfield Kop
Has one been built in the Elland Road Kop?
We are off for the second half
NBC doing a FOX and getting there a second before kick off
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
Obi Wan on for F-M
The second half is underway from OT
That change needed to be made
Nice pass by Matic but Obi Wan and Greeny blow it
GO FORWARD WITH PACE!!!
Come on, you Red Devils!
Just like 1990 the champions in the top two divisions have a Kop end
Why isn't there the urgency!!
Trying to walk it in!
Are you Arsenal in disguise?
VAMOS LOS DIABLOS ROJOS!
Rash runs forward.... like headless chicken!!
Not sure who we are but looking clueless
They are WALKING!!!!
FINALLY..... GREENWOOD!!!
SOMEONE SHOOTS
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!MASON GREENWOOD TIES IT UP WITH A GREAT FINISH
Wahay! Mason Greenwood levels it up!
Still too much passing for my liking !!
Lots of short, slow passes, then one found Mason Greenwood for a great finish
That'll do nicely!
Now score FOUR MORE
Why hasn't that penalty urged Pogba...he's invisible
West Ham almost in again....I thought there was going to be a pen
Long range volley from Declan Rice lands in Row N
Not happy with the Pogba penalty.He handled the ball it wouldn't hit him in the face . What happened to taking one for the team?
Martial has a shot blocke
Rash messes up his control from corner... He has not been good since restart
He's a pretty boy
Rash didn't attack that cross!!
Agreed 100% with your assessment of Pogba
more patheticness from Pogpants
I thought he wanted to play for this team!
Antonio was mocking you...but you don't care
STAY UP WILLIAMS!!
I've got two windows open for Plus
Baggies and Bees both on
United should still want to score three more!!
Winning by three means you can lose by one!!
COME ON
Cottagers vs Wigan a big one for both ends of the table
This is NOT a decent result
WIN THE DAMN GAME... BY THREE and you could lose
Still so slow!
Sadly, I think United is going for two draws
High and horribly wide by Pogba from 25 yards out
United passing it around but NO ONE IS MOVING UP TOP!
Better football??? PATHETIC
Useless effort by Pogpants
At least the pen enables Pogba to post on Instagram this evening
I can understand the Hammers being happy with a draw, which clinches safety, but not United
United do remember the Southampton game don't they?
United are boring
Not sure what h will post. That he went MIA?
Nice save by De Ga
All came from stupid passing at the back
De Gea tips over a shot from Jarred Bowen
Rash wins a United corner
Finally some decent movement...but of course... the cross doesn't beat the defender
Martial almost thru.... go to your left!
Don't cut back
United are their own worse enemy back there!!
The passing is beyond belief!
That passing at the back is enough to drive us crazy.
This team doesn't have the bottle
Every time they are close to the top four...they blow it some how!
About two minutes from the two minute timeout. Olly will have plenty to discuss with the players
Another atrocious pass by Matic in his own half!
Leads to a Rice shot.... too close for my comfort
THIS IS NOT BLOODY GOOD ENOUGH
Brandon Williams the latest to gift possession and Declan Rice is just over with a long range effort
Time Out
The two minute timeout begins
OGS should be screaming at them... GO FORWARD!!
I wish they would stop saying this is good enough
Another stupid foul....this time by Rash
There is a Leeds link!!!
Break over...United playing the same way
Leeds getting a guard of honor
My computer is not big enough... got three matches
I'm onto the Leeds coverage now in time to see Charlton give a guard of honor. MOT!
Rash slowing it down EVERY time
The starting line-up for the Champions today:
Leeds United: Meslier, Ayling, White, Cooper, Dallas, Struijk, Klich, Alioski, Harrison, Hernandez, Bamford. Subs: Miazek, Douglas, Poveda, Roberts, Davis, Bogusz, Shackleton, Stevens, Casey.
