Peacock not starting for Leeds!
Afternoon, Dave - I hope you're having a good day. I'm pumped for today's action.
Taking Jon to work at the top of the hour because of the storm coming.
Afternoon Bob
Leeds need to get their fingers out....especially because I have FOUR of their players!
I'm starting your keeper instead of De Gea
Finally it has started
I am just taking Jon to work
I'll be back
The starting line-up for the Whites:
Meslier, Alioski, Ayling, Cooper, Dallas, Phillips, Klich, Raphinha, Rodrigo, Harrison, Bamford.
Subs: Casilla, Struijk, Shackleton, Davis, Roberts, Hernandez, Poveda.
Teams out on the pitch. MOT!
The first three matches about to kick off now. Come on, you Whites!
Peacock is behind my LUFC website update, of course. Grrr!
Oh - Newcastle off to a quick start and they've skimmed one off the bar!
Another free kick for Newcastle now. Drifted in too long so it's run through.
We haven't got started yet - settle down, lads.
I am back
How has it started?
Too many passes going astray so far. We've barely got into their half.
Finally - Jack wins a corner!
Cleared out unfortunately and Newcastle have a free kick to build again.
This is Marcelo's 114th match in charge - his most for any club! What a legend!
Just starting to click now.
Hate all the delay!
Good pressure from us now.
Leeds should have done better there!!
Oh - great move again now through Harrison. Good ball in and Rodrigo flashed it over. It was a bit behind him but he had the time to control it.
No goals...anywhere
Newcastle have dropped deep now - the Brucey approach is clear. They're going to try to hit us on the break and with set pieces.
JWP swung in a dangerous free kick... punched away
Oh - how did that not get finished either by Patrick or Klich!
Ward Prowse is the main danger man for Soton. Arsenal need to avoid silly fouls.
Theo bites the hand that used to feed him
1-0 Saints
Corner now for us - come on!
Oh - Coop met the corner with a great header and Darlow did well to save. Big chance!
Question from the past.....what player scored for who against who on Match of Day's 101 Great Goals
A goal is coming - I can feel it!
Oh - Jack was in there but the cross-shot couldn't find the corner.
Oh - Raphinha blasts over the top!
I've just noticed that Soton have taken the lead - shame for Steve. I'm really feeling for him these days.
Raphinha takes a tumble and we've got a tasty looking free kick chance now.
I don't think I can answer your question.
The corner is half cleared but Klich again blasts over. We need some shooting practice in time for Sunday.
The Saints are top...I don't think they play bad at all
I know you are Anti-Saints....which means you should be a Red Devil
Soton are now top of the league - madness!
Oh - Fraser pulls a good stop out of Meslier. I'm nervous every time Newcastle break.
I think it was Barry Davies saying about Malcom MacDonald scoring for Arsenal at Highbury vs Newcastle
Bloody Hell.... sorry mate!
Bugger! Newcastle have scored, just as I feared. One chance and they've scored.
Only their second attack!
Jack Harrison is off getting some treatment now.
That shows that we need to take our chances. We make so many of them!

It was Motty
We need to get one straight back to build the confidence.
Everton leeds at Leicester
All away teams losing 0-1
Oh dear, I've just seen that it was Theo Walcott who scored for Soton. That's going to hurt.
I did post it... stop ignoring me
Oh - another great move ends with Raphinha pulling a great save out of Darlow!
Oh - great chip in from Gjanni and it's a free header missed by Rapinha.
YES!!!!!!
BAMNFORD!!
I thought oh no when the first header hits the bar!
YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!
That was coming!
Great ball in from Raphinha, Rodrigo's header hit the bar and Patrick mopped up.
1-1!
Klich in the book...it was a tackle! Not every tackle is a card!
That's Lord Bamford's ninth of the season. Crucial! Let's have another!
Arsenal want a pen...not given
We need more goals!
I am watching the Arsenal watch along....they are having kittens that no pen was given
Leeds should have done better with that break
Rodrigo was in there but his shot was blocked at the last minute.
I'm really loving all the weapons that we've got on the pitch - Klich, Harrison, Rapinha, Rodrigo and of course Bamford all getting chances.
Wish my United played the same
I know you are lower than us but you're better
Jack's been better tonight but I want to see him getting into more scoring positions.
One minute to come now.
2 added minutes at the Em
1 at the EL
Could Arsenal actually lose their FIFTH match at home!!
Ings with a shot...over
Half time at ER
Good display so far from Leeds
HT at the Em
That's half-time at Elland Road. We really should be 2-1 or 3-1 up at this stage for all of the chances that we've made. But we go in 1-1. At least that goal will restore a bit of confidence for us. Something to build on.
Damn it.... the guy I am taking on this wee have Bamford!
Toon coming out from the stands!
Leeds already there
We're back out for the second half now - we need some goals straight away. Come on, you Whites!
Match started on the telly from ER....and now just started on the Cock
Get the cross over!!
Arsenal haven't won in the League since OT on November 1
Phillips with a card.... bad for me!
Never a yellow!
Kal picks up a needless yellow card. And now Newcastle can swing a free kick in, Mark 'em up!
Fortunately, Joelinton puts his header over the top.
Hayden now in the book
That was more of a yellow but they mean nothing these days
Ayling should have hit that header from the corner!
GOAL for the GUNNERS
Aubum with a cool finish
Gooners will heave a sigh of relief as Aubama slots home an equalizer. That was a long time coming.
1-1 there.
Big claim for a penalty for Newcastle. Risky, but nothing doing from the ref.
Made by a Saka run but won't get an assist for me!
VAR looking for pen....not given for Toon
JWP free kick cut out by first man
I'm really tense now - we need three points tonight.
The big War of the Roses match on Sunday morning gets a mention. Can't wait!
Ok....It is LEEDS TIME
Not looking forward to it at all
Rodrigo finds Patrick who turns and shoots. Darlow saves a weak effort. But this is better - we're on the front foot again.
Adams with a nice strike but straight to third post
Corner to the Saints
into front post...cleared
Every corner is short, doesn't beat first man or at the near post
Nice interplay but can't find the killer ball.
Gjanni's industry wins another corner. We're turning the screw. Come on!
Useless corner by Leeds.... MODERN GAME
Saka with a shot....saved
YES!!!!
LEEDS TAKE THE LEAD!!
Brilliant stuff
Lovely header
YESSSSS!!!!!!
That was brilliant. Harrison at full stretch controlled and crossed and Rodrigo met it with the perfect header!
2-1!
OH DEAR... Arsenal down to ten men... AGAIN
Gabriel with a second yellow
That's only Rodrigo's second goal for Leeds, both scored at the Kop End at Elland Road.
Brucey puts a fullback on - cheers, mate!
Patrick wins another corner for us with an acute shot.
Arsenal fans complaining up the whooha
Oh - a stupid short corner nearly gifts Newcastle a goal. What was Kal thinking?
Well saved by MY KEEPER from Wilson
Bamford clears the first corner over the bar. Mark 'em up!
third straight game having a man sent off for the Arsenal
Bloody Hell
Desmond!
BUGGGERRRR!
Another set piece goal conceded!
Desmond.
Leeds should be out of sight.... terrible defending
Have a guy on the back post too!!
We need another goal - come on!
Rapinha picks up a yellow now. I agree with you - we should be well in charge at this point.
Stop fouling in midfield!
Arsenal sitting back now
Off the post by Redmond!
Same corner again.... comes off one out of every 100
Almost a great pass into the box
Piling the pressure on again.
Leeds want a pen for something...handball?
Nothin doing
I'd like to see a change about now, maybe Poveda on for Alioski.
Find the man Bam.... didn't look up for the cross
Another Saint corner... same place
Love stuff but just one too many touches.
Dwight Gayle to come on. Let's hope he doesn't do what he did at the weekend.
Goalscorer at the weekend, Gayle, coming on
Almiron now coming on for Fraser. So that's three changes to nought for Brucey.
United and Arsenal are the same team so far this season!!
The one thing that I see that United have is when they score an equalizer....most of the time they score a few more
Murphy was through there but Coop stood up well to him.
Toffees two up at the King Power.
GOAL!!!
DALLAS PUTS LEEDS AHEAD....AGAIN!
I needed that goal...for your sake and my team's!!
Leeds are so entertaining...you must be loving it
YESSSS!!!!!!!
Stu Dallas is the man over and finishes!
Let's have some more now!
If United beat the Blades(I am not confident), they would be above Chelsea with a game in a hand
Have you got Stu Dallas on your fantasy team?
If they beat Blades and Burnley(game in hand) they would be equal with the top two if it ends in a draw today
Pablo me on, so clearly Marcelo isn't ready to close up shop yet.
I have Dallas, Phillips, Cooper and Meslier
I'm disgusted with myself
Saints almost in again
Tyler Roberts also coming on. Rodrigo off first.
Oh - Rapinha pulled the trigger there but his shot was blocked.
Bamford also comes off - good switch there.
Shot deflected for a Leeds corner
I was looking away and I heard the commentator saying... trying to tie it up... I thought he meant the score and not the Match as a whole
Phew! I was worried about that break. Corner. I'm closing my eyes.
Corner to Toon...cleared
Now break
YES!!!!!
LEEDS MAKE IT SAFE
Hopefully
YESSSSS!!!!!!!!
We break again and Gjanni seals the win!
4-2!
It was 5 on 2
Luv it!
Let's have another one - this is helping our goal difference.
Redmond...hit sidenettting
WHAT A CORKER!!!
HARRISON WITH A BULLET
THERE'S YOUR OTHER ONE
I love it... not taking it to the corner.... giving it a wallop!!
Saints want a pen... ball keeps playing...never a pen
Oh - what a stormer! Pick that one out!
5-2!
Four minutes of stoppage time to come now. I'd like another.
Reminded me of your finishing!
You asked before and got one.... and another then
4 added minutes at both Dahlgren clubs
Rapinha has a chance now - he deserves a goal. Interestingly, Rodrigo, Dallas, Alioski and Harrison all picked up their second goals of the season tonight. Rapinha needs one too to complete the set.
Leeds up to 13th ahead of their opponents today
Leeds at -2 and Toon at -5
Arsenal hit the bar!!
Would love to see an Arsenal goal for Steve. Oh - off the bar there!
Me too... I feel for him... I feel for me too
Free kick now. Mark 'em up!
Johnny Wilkinson effort by the Toon
All over at Leeds
Congrats mate...you have nothing to worry about this season
Arsenal showing no urgency and that is it
The losing streak is over for Arsenal
Good for Steve
Everton beat Leicester 2-0
NO ONE wants to win the league
That's it - a confidence boosting win for us tonight with lots of goals and some flair. We leapfrog Newcastle now into 13th with 17 points from 13 matches. and -2 GD. 23 points now to get from our remaining 27 matches.

Love it.... straight to Anfield
2000 fans and all the players giving applause for Gerard H
Nice tribute now to Gerard Houllier at Anfield.
Liverpool to start us off... attacking the Kop
Jose being annoying?
We are off
Again, I will be here for only the first half
Gotta pick up the missus
TAA with an early shot deflected high over the bar
The teams on display this evening:
Liverpool (4-3-3) Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, R Williams, Fabinho, Robertson; Jones, Henderson, Wijnaldum; Salah, Firmino, Mane.
Substitutes: Kelleher, Phillips, N Williams, Keita, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Minamino, Origi.
Tottenham Hotspur (4-2-3-1) Lloris; Aurier, Alderweireld, Dier, Davies; Sissoko, Hojbjerg; Bergwijn, Lo Celso, Son; Kane.
Substitutes: Hart, Reguilon, Rodon, Winks, Alli, Ndombele, Lucas Moura.
Referee Anthony Taylor.
Sure thing, mate - I appreciate your company.
I just do not get Bale coming to Spurs!!
Why did Jose bring him in... can't even get on the bench!!
I love that I can now sit back and relax and enjoy this one. I'm totally neutral - don't really care who wins. I'd just like to see some goals.
Of course.... ABL
I do need a few Kane goals too
If this match ends in a draw and United win tomorrow
United would have gained points on Spurs, Pool, Soton, Leicester, Chelsea and City
Maybe West Ham too
Everton only one that won
In the other matches I'll take draws. That will keep all four sides reasonably close to us.
You're not getting any snow coming?
We are in the 6-12 inch range
Just saw this today from my old school district
Schenectady schools will hold virtual instruction for all students Thursday regardless of weather conditions, the district announced Wednesday.
NO MORE SNOW DAYS!!!! I left just at the right time!
Firmino header well saved
Oh - good free kick in and Firmino's header tested Lloris.
Liverpool have had 71 per cent of the possession so far. Just thought you'd enjoy that statistical update.
We're supposed to get a dusting - it's really pretty far to the east for us. Good luck digging out, but you've got a snow blower, so it's a doddle for you, right?
If we play like Tottenham and park the bus/hit on the break on Sunday at Old Trafford, I'm going to be really irritated. I hope that we give it a go against you lot. We've got nothing to lose now.
Sorry...just folding some laundry
A brand new snowblower... Doug bought it!!
No way Leeds will sit back....Man U will do more of the sitting
These guys on the mic....just trying to be so deep
GOAL...Salah with a deflected shot... looped into the corner
GOAL! Salah with a deflected effort that looped beyond Lloris and into the corner.
1-0!
Stunning.... Arlo didn't call it "stunning, remarkable"
