The Premier Peacock World

A very good Saturday morning to everyone out there in LOB world. We're waking up on the second Premiership Saturday to a different world indeed. By instinct, I popped on NBC Sports first thing, only to see the Tour de France coverage on. So, this is my first experiment with Peacock, which has most of the matches today. We start with Everton v. WBA. The Toffees had a brlliant start to the season last weekend, with a win away to Spurs. The Baggies on the other hand got off to a loss at home. That's followed sharpish with my beloved Leeds, who dazzled against the champions but finally succumbed to a 4-3 loss. We're at home to Fulham, another fellow promoted side, who got hammered 0-3 at home by Arsenal. United get their campaign started at 12:30, with a home opener against Palace, who won their first match. And we end the day with league leaders Arsenal who have another London Derby against West Ham. The objective with this one is very simple for me. Almost as important to us as a big win against the Cottagers is that the Baggies lose at Goodison, because every loss keeps them rooted on the bottom below us. My Leeds start today at 13th, which would be just fine as a finishing spot. Join me for all of the action. Come on, you Whites!

It's a new crew in the studio for Peacock. Becky Lowe is there hosting. And Robby Mustoe is alongside her as usual. But instead of the other Robbie or Kyle Martino, Tim Howard is representing the American voice.

Tim Howard describes Goodison Park as "paradise, a proper football stadium." He would certainly know.

The preliminaries are over and we're set to go. Rob Green and Jim Proudfoot on the mics.

The Toffees clicking into second gear now. Early corner.

7:37 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - Calvert-Lewin is nearly in there. He's crowded out by a steadfast Baggies defense.

7:40 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Good open start to this match.

7:41 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Bugger! Diagane has banged home the Baggies' first goal back in the Prem. Pickers had no chance.

0-1!

7:44 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - big chance for Richarlison. He hesitated and Livermore was able to block him out.

7:45 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

That was Diangane's first goal for the Baggies, by the way, after having left the Hammers this summer.

7:47 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Good morning Bob . Here to join you for this Peacock Day. I have a strong pot of coffee brewing

7:48 AM

Alana with a long range effort straight at Sam Johnstone. Look s like it's been all Toffees since the goal

7:49 AM

Oh - a giveaway allowed Calvert-Lewin in there. Blocked out for a corner. This needs to go in.

I saw the replay of the goal when I turned on the match. A great strike and a shock lead

Morning, David - it's a cracking match here. The strong coffee may not be absolutely necessary.

Of course, thanks again for the help with Peacock. It looks as if it'll be absolutely vital.

Oh - Perreira tries a pop and it's parried away by Pickers.

The Toffees win a corner

The game has really stretched out, as if it's in the 80th minute. A really furious pace to this match.

7:52 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The only televised match is the late one today

7:53 AM

I see that; shocking effort from NBC. I automatically turned on the usual channel, only to find the Tour de France coverage.

Our Uniteds are the other Peacock matches today. Steve and Johnno can watch their teams on the telly

Wow! I hadn't heard that. What did Not a Big Club do to deserve that, other than, of course, being Not a Big Club?

Morning, Dave! How are you, mate?

We've usually had winning efforts when our teams have played on the same day. Hoping that proves to be the case today.

8:00 AM

Coleman cut out a spicy mustardy pass from James Rodriguez for a Toffees corner. A long throw from Digne results in a shot from Rich Arlison deflected for a corner

8:00 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Then Doucorre wins yet another corner. Michael Keane heads over the corner from Digne

8:01 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Good Morning Dave. How are you

8:01 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - a long throw nearly allows Richarlison to capitalize. Out for a corner.

8:02 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Digne's corners have been a bit rubbish this morning. His long throws seem to be more of a weapon. Another corner now.

8:03 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

That was better from Digne - but Michael Keane nodded well over.

It is a goal!

8:05 AM

Sounds like you're living the retirement dream, mate.

We managed to get through the fourth week of the semester. A third of the on-campus portion done. Eight more weeks and we'll be into Thanksgiving and then remote mode.

8:05 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I went into the kitchen and come back to see that VAR is allowing an equalizer from Calvert-Lewin

8:05 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

GOAL! I almost missed it for the lack of reaction but Everton are back on level terms. A second goal for the season for DCL.

1-1!

8:06 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Congratulations, Bob. Wishing you more success and keep safe

8:07 AM

What do you mean "remote mode" after Thanksgiving
I thought the semester now ended then

Both managers dressed as twins

8:09 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Thanks, mate. We seem to have quelled the initial outbreak. We've got 92 cases, but only 10 of them are active now, with 82 students having recovered after quarantine.

Two custodians tested positive last week, which is a worry. First employees with positive cases.

8:09 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It's a mixed return to Goodison for Slaven

8:09 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

The on-campus portion ends at Thanksgiving and the students will leave campus and won't return until January. But we have to finish up the last two weeks in remote mode with study week and finals.

8:10 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It is worrying, Bob, but your campus is doing remarkably well compared to others across the country. Keep up the good work. In most work places, the custodians are almost always the first employees to test positive

Two things that really bugs me about Peacock...nothing on-line is ever live. It is always delayed and usually get updates on my phone before I see it. Second, I can't watch it on full screen because I am on LOB!


My Apple TV won't allow me to stream Peacock from my laptop. I it is not a new enough version

LOL, Dave! That yellow and green barcode did scan a goal at the register . Probably only found on fake vomit on a Halloween costume

James Rod scores a nice one....he is my player!

8:17 AM

GOAL !!! JAMES RODRIGUEZ SCORES HIS FIRST TOFFEES GOAL AS THE TOFFES HAVE COME FROM BEHIND TO LEAD 2-1 WITH A GREAT FINISH FROM JUST OUTSIDE THE BOX. NICE RUN AND PASS FROM RICH ARLISON

8:18 AM

Well, all of my classes are now remote. So, it's a weird matter of going over to the office and Zooming the class with students who are in their dorm rooms across campus. That's the world that we're living in sadly.

A red card!!!

What happened!!

Pushed him in the head!!

8:19 AM

YIKES! KIERAN GIBBS SENT OFF FOR THE BAGGIES NOT SURE WHY AND WHY DID HE DO THIS SECONDS BEFORE THE HALF

8:19 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I was really surprised when James went to Everton. That shows the ambition of the club.

8:19 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I missed it but the announcer said a finger to the eye

8:20 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Even better! Now let's really put the hammer down on the Baggies in the second half.

Former Gunner Kieran Gibbs wins the first Red Card of the season. No one picked him of course.

8:20 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The Toffees have come from behind to lead 2-1 at the half and the Baggies are now a man down as Kieran Gibbs was sent off in stoppage time

8:21 AM

Really stupid from Gibbs there. Luv it!

8:21 AM

I hope they survive. I never want to see a team go down with a points reduction

I don't like that James went down like a sack of potatoes.... South American for you

Blogger United We Stand said...

I don't what Slaven said but it wasn't much

8:28 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I wonder if anyone is complaining to NBC. I know it won't do any good but they have to know they are screwing everyone!

Are they doing all of this Pk crap just at the beginning of the season to get people to join or is this going to be the norm?

Bugger! The Baggies are back in it with a free kick goal. It's Perreira with a lovely strike. Pickers grasping at thin air.

I agree with you, Dave - I hope that people are complaining to NBC about the lack of coverage.

8:40 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Back for the second half to see that the ten men have made it Desmond at Goodison thanks to a superb curling free kick from Perreira . Pickford should have done better as it was at the part of the goal he was supposedly covering

8:40 AM

I agree . We should complain to NBC this week. Not sure how many people will

8:41 AM

Wahay! Michael Keane has knocked in a third from close range!

3-2 Toffees!

8:46 AM

Slaven looks frustrated. I didn't think it was a foul, Rich Arlison floppng over,but Slaven should be upset at the poor defending

8:46 AM

Michael Keane the Toffees top scorer. Two today and one in midweek vs Harrogate

8:47 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

And I miss another goal!

8:47 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Free header for Richarlison from the free kick. He should have scored. Keeper did what he could but Keane followed it in.

Baggies behind again!

8:47 AM

It's another cracking match again in the Prem. Shame it's not on the box.

8:48 AM

8:50 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

They showed the replays for the red cards. Stupid from Gibbs , but poor from James as his theatrical fall really got Gibbs sent off. Thought Slaven should have been only booked Poorly handled by the Dean of officials.He Should have listened to Slaven , who initially was reasonable and as Robbie Mustoe stated he should have at least been warned. Your thoughts?

8:51 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Is the stream breaking up for you or is it just my ancient laptop?

8:52 AM

Shame.... I would have gotten an assist if it went in by Rich

8:56 AM

Lovely - let's have some more goals, Toffees!

8:58 AM

I agree with Dave. The free kick for the fourth goal wasn't a foul, nor was the last free kick that lead to the corner. James fell theatrically as he did to get Gibbs sent off. Not happy with James

Muggins color commentator really likes Areola for Fulham. I can't see why at the moment. He's conceded a goal and punched his way through Leeds set pieces rather than calmly gathered. On loan from PSG, but I doubt they miss him.

We've got three defenders inside Mitrovic's shorts right now.
