Good afternoon, Bob. Here to join you for yet more holiday footie. I'll be watching the Seagulls vs the Gunners on the telly and the Baggies vs Leeds on the Cock
Yet another non kickoff for Leeds. It was GMT on Sunday and , but noon Texas time today.
Hiya, David - how's your day been? I spent the morning doing some irritating work emails, so I'm really looking forward to settling in for this one.
Steve will be hoping for better memories then when the teams met at the AMEX in June. Jay Leno got injured in a challenge with N oil Maupay as the Gunners ended up losing 2-1. It was also the last time Gwen the Doozie played for the Gunners as he was guilty of pushing Maupay
It's been a quiet day so far, thank you for asking. Hope the matches are a relaxing break from the emails and that you put one over Fat Sam's lads in what should be a similar match to Sunday
Three matches on Peacock at the same time. If you don't want to watch the Baggies vs Leeds you can watch Saints vs Hammers our Burnley vs Evil Blades , where you will want both sides to do each other in?
Saints, manager, Ralph, will be managing from home due to a member of his household testing positive. Same happened to Scotty Pasrker with the Cottagers on Sunday
In the relegation dogfight between Burnley and Sheffield United, I'll take a draw. It robs them both of two points.
Wahay - the coverage on the Cock is starting for the match!
We know what to expect from a Fat Sam team today. Very physical. They'll try to hit us on set pieces.
I think you might be better off with an Evil Blades win. They'll still be rock bottom and Burnley will be stuck there around the drop zone. Just my thoughts in addition to Leeds needing to win today even a draw would be a decent result
It should be similar to Sunday, but probably the Baggies sitting back more than Burnley, but similar playing styles
The Cock now with the pre match talk on
Afternoon boys
Got the Leeds match going on the laptop
MOT
Teams starting to come out at The Hawthorns.
Teams out on the pitch at the AMEX
Teams out at the Hawthorns and the AMEX....of course NBC go for a commercial
Good afternoon, Dave. I'm watching the same matches
Sounds like the temps in England are close or at freezing point
I know a lot of the land got snow
An unchanged side for both WBA and Leeds today. Very interesting. I'm hoping that we go out and play a bit more expansively today.
Hiya, Dave - great to have you on board today.
I have 5Live on the radio too for updates.
If they are commentating on either of the matches I'm watching...I'll turn it off. It is ahead
Was watching Brum vs Derby before I tuned in Leeds
Derby scored two goals in quick succession. A keeper mistake and pen
Off at the Amex
They're off from the AMEX
COME ON YOU GUNNERS!
They're off from the Hawthorns.
COME ON LEEDS!
Off at the Hawthorns
I need a couple of goals from Dallas and Phillips
We're away wearing our purple away kits that we wore when we trounced Villa 0-3 earlier in the season. A similar result would be excellent.
I need a shut out from Leeds too
I put the Leeds man in instead of De Gea
Derby three up!!
Leeds in all burgundy while the Gunners are wearing white shorts and maroonish shorts
Sounds like 5Live isn't at a match at all
I think Talksport has the rights
I'll leave it on for updates
Already, I'm noticing that Kal is playing a bit farther up the pitch than he did on Sunday.
That moves the Rams three points and two places above the drop zone. Rotherham, who haven't played in two maTCHES OCCUPYING THE LAST SPOT. tHEY HAVE BEEN HIT BY A covid OPUTBREAK
Leeds needs to be patient as a draw isn't the worst result today
Good start from us - we're combining well throughout the side.
Leeds well on top to start
Already, WBA are just resorting to hoofing it long.
Oh - Rodrigo got to the by-line but his ball was to no one running in.
Saints had a goal called back from VAR
Ings was an inch offside
Very positive from Leeds as indeed. The Baggies will play the same defensive style home and away
Again...NOTHING is wrong with kicking the ball long!
I find it boring playing out of the back all the time
Dallas fouls and now WBA have a chance to swing in a free kick. Mark 'em up!
Stu Dallas fouls Diangana. The Baggies are a threat at set pieces
I agree with you about mixing up the short and long game, but WBA are just giving possession back.
Leeds will need to be careful not to concede too many free kicks as Fat Sam sides are threats at those and Leeds have had their troubles defending them this season
Oh yes! Soyuz has gifted us a goal!
That is a cracking own goal!
WAY HAY! ROAMINE TOM SAWYERS GIFTS LEEDS THE LEAD WITH A BOZARRE OG
GOAL!!
I missed it!
I was filling the dishwasher
Brilliant goal....modern day crap!!
Bob will be interested top note that Mark Twain wrote that even Huck Finn wouldn't have played that poorly defensively
Darnell Furlong heads out for a Leeds corner
Leeds need to score more and often based on what happened at Anfield two days ago
Another silly foul. WBA can lump one forward into the box again.
You're absolutely right, David. We need to press our advantage while we're dominating.
Stevenage,on top vs Cambridge. Stevenage now off the foot of the table ahead of Southend and a pair of points from Safety
Leeds up to 11th...3 points behind City
Good take by Meslier there. And he launches another attack.
My problem with Fat Sam Sides is not the long balls, but just sitting back in their boring defensive Jose style fashion, merely hoping to hit teams on the break
Decent earlier cross there but Patrick can't quite get to the header.
Recently, I have been watch along matches with ATV....they have been having kittens lately!!
They enjoyed the Chelsea match tho
I'm watching Leeds on the imac and really enjoying it
Did you see Tony Pulis was axed from Wednesday on a Monday.... after 45 days... 10 games which one win
Oh - Klich nearly played Raphinha in there.
Half time at St Andrews
Rams 3 up over the Blue Noses
Oh - dangerous ball over but great covering by Dallas.
Stu Dallas forced to clear a threatening pass from Darnell Furlong for a Baggies corner
Melsier not exactly convincing with the punch from the corner but gets away with it
A bit flappy again there from Meslier. The boy's going to give me a heart attack this season.
Thanks for the update, Dave. Didn't about Pulis being sacked. He's a dinosaur in terms of footie
Kal Phillips tries a bender there but Johnstone is well behind it.
Kal Phillips curls a long range shot straight to Sam Johnstone
Bob will be hoping that a massive sinkhole swallows up both Burnley and the Evil Blades. Does Dave agree with Bob?
Ah - Dallas with a great run and one-two but his final ball was off.
Ralphie not on the touchline for Saints. Managing via zoom due to contact tracing
I'm starting to think that Struijk is a better option than Koch alongside Liam Cooper when everyone is fit.
Huck Finn's mate concedes a corner to Leeds
We've won a corner now. Must make the most of it!
I got a lovely package of English choccies last night. I had no idea who ordered it for me. I even thought it was Bob.... it wasn't!!
The Gunners with a chance to score . Free kick from Xakha Khan from just outside the box about a foot over
It all opened up for Harrison... blows the shot
Oh - Jack worked himself into a great position but his shot was wild.
I wonder if someone from England ordered the chocs. I'm delighted for you
Leeds need another goal to get some breathing space
WBA will lump another forward from the half way line.
Agreed, Dave - we're dominating and should be 0-2 up.
It actually was my friend Walt!
Very nice of him
He said to have a taste of home
BOOOOM... WHAT A CORKER!!!
TWO NIL!!!
WAY HAY! ALI PUTS LEEDS TWO UP WITH A CRACKING FINISH OFF THE INSIDE OF THE POST
YESSSSS!!!!!
What a stormer from Gjanni!
0-2!
Great shot!!!!
Anything Liverpool can't do.... LEEDS CAN
Burnley take the lead.
Nice Leeds possession and a cross was poorly cleared by Darnell Furlong then the cracker from Ali went off the inside post
Ben Mee with the goal
That's Gjanni's third of the season.
Again...you don't have anything to worry about below you
There are three tiers in the Prem.....possible champs and top four....the relegation worriers.... the others
Leeds are in the others
Not he but Mee with the goal as Ben Mee scored the Burnley goal. Burnley now five points clear of the drop zone which is not exactly the best news for Bob
The Baggies lost 0-3 in their last home match and Leeds won by that with this kit , also in the W Midlands. History repeating itself
We're all over them now; I want three!
Bob will be hoping for both London clubs to win. One today and one tomorrow
FANTASTIC.... THREE NIL!!!!
BOB IS ON CLOUD NINE!!
YESSSSSS!!!!!
What a great goal by Jack! 0-3!
5Live..... about Leeds.... "another high quality goal"
WAY HATY! JUST WHAT THE DOC ORDERED .NICE ONE TWO BETWEEN JACK HARRISON AND PATRICK BAMFORD THEN HARRISON TURNED A DEFNDER AND SCORED WITH A CRACKING FINISH IN THE UPPER 90
Leeds are so good to watch... I hate people giving them a hard time
It is great!!
Congratulations, Bob. I understand you will be showing Fat Sam no mercy.
Gjanni's got a gash on his face now - he'll need to go off for treatment.
Bob wants Leeds to score more and often. We all do
The Baggies will have to attack. They can't sit back being three down unless Fat Sam is conceding the match
FOUR NIL!!!!!!!
Another flowing move!!
5Live thinks it is an own goal
KEEP SCORING!
WAY HAY! RODRIGO PUTS LEEDS UP BY A BARBER SHOP QUYARTET. BOB IS SINGING
0-4!!!!!!
We are in dreamland!
Gjanni with a yellow card now - silly boy. Maybe he thought that he wouldn't be recognized.
It might be given as an OG to Dara O'Shea. Nice Leeds passing and it culminated with a pass Kliched into Rodrigo and it tooka wicked deflection off of Dara O'Shea for a possible OG
Bob feeling sorry for Fat Sam???
Fat Sam may do more than rattle some teapots. Wonder if he's going to give a few players some bloody noses?
Well...you are... I'll let you know how I feel when we meet Wolves
How I wish United go out and score like this!
WBA.....unluckily lost at Old Trafford 1-0.....drew 1-1 at Man City...drew 1-1 at Liverpool..... lose 0-3 at home to Villa....this match!!
Up next for Baggies....the Gooners
A pair of OGs, A pair of crackers ,and a partridge in a pear tree
Are you watching, Jose Mourinho?
Not really any chances at the Amex.... NBC picked the wrong match
Leeds almost in again!
Oh - Raphinha with a curler that Johnstone parried away.
Great save by Johnstone from Raphinha and Darnell Furlong hoof s it away for a corner
They should be showing us every match.
Half time on the south coast 0-0
5Live saying there is a possibility of the Spurs/Fulham match getting called off tomorrow for Covid
It's 0-0 at the half at the AMEX. A pair of stoppage time minutes at the Hawthorns
I just hope we keep looking for goals in the second half.
WOW! It's getting really bad in the UK.
Fat Sam already going down the tunnel. Teacups to be rattled?
Big Sam has gone down the tunnel already... then the whistle goes
GREAT HALF!!
Leeds up by a Barber Shop Quartet sung by Bob. Congratulations . Delighted for you
Half-time: Well, that has been marvelous stuff from us. I remember Robbie Earle saying a few weeks back that if a team caught us on the wrong day they'd be on the end of a real hiding. That's what's happened today. 0-4 up at the interval.
Looks like the gave Rodrigo the goal
HT
Brighton 0 Arsenal 0
Burnley 1 Blades 0
Southampton 0 West Ham 0
WBA 0 LEEDS FOUR
Diego Costa terminates contract at Atletico Madrid....will he come back to the Prem? Wolves?
Right now.... the first time many games are going on simultaneously
Jermaine Beckford thinks it is going to 6 or 7 nil
So far since United's draw against Leicester....United have not lost any ground to anyone....except Villa
A win today would put United in second...two points behind Liverpool having played the same amount of games.
This match is a real tonic for our goal difference. We started today at -5 and are now at -1. Three more goals in the second half and we'll be above West Ham in the table.
A Saints goal would put you above the Hammers too
Cavani and Pogpants will start today!
United have just announced their line up
De Gea, Obi Wan, Bailly, Maguire, Telles, Matic, Pogba, Greenwood, Fernandez, Rashford, Cavani
attacking!!
Ivanovic on for Matt Phillips for WBA at the break.
They have been going for over 2 minutes at the Amex..... still nothing from the Hawthorns.....missed the kick off
Poor form COCK
Peacock has cocked up the start of the second half!
PEA almost in...saved
Very disappointed that Phillips and Dallas hasn't scored yet...get your fingers out!!
Great move but it all falls apart in the end.
I will be commenting sparingly the second half because I'm on feeding duty, but going back and forth between the living room and the blogging room to watch all the action
Martinelli with a decent effort
Fat Sam looks pissed to the delight of Bob
Corner now for us - I want another goal!
PEA....curls one wide
I hope we've ruined his whole week. I was disgusted with the praise he got from pundits after the draw at Anfield.
Just tuned in ATV's Watch Along...having kittens.... they are all self isolating instead of being in the same room
Corner now for West Brom - mark 'em up!
Do you remember watching Sam A as a center back for Bolton?
I really don't want Leeds to concede ONE goal
First, it will give the Baggies hope
Second, I need a clean sheet from my keeper! I need to be justified for putting in Leeds' keeper in instead of United's
Oh - nice turn and shot from Patrick. Deflected out for a corner. Come on!
Gallagher got to the by-line there but Meslier plucked his cross out well.
I just don't get it!!
MORONIC!!!
Stop mucking about at the back!
I just don't get it!!
MORONIC!!!
Jamie Shackleton is going to replace Klich now - good change.
I just hate it!!
Klich off for Shackleton
The hour mark comes up - I'd like to see some more goals, please.
Arsenal creating a few chances
Karlan Grant trudging off now - he hasn't had a sniff today. Perreira on.
I really hope United start off on the front foot today...with Greenwood, Rashford, Cavani, Bruno and Pogba all on the pitch
We're playing it about nicely now but I don't get any sense of urgency right now. You'd think that some of these players would want to fill their boots.
The Gazette scores just after coming on!!
Nice finish
ATV guys watching on Amazon Prime.... one ahead of the other. Two of them didn't know why the third starting celebrating
Silly corner to concede there.
Leeds SUCK....22 minutes and no goals in this half!!
Nice - Pablo is getting another run-out for the last twenty minutes. Rodrigo off for him.
Bielsa not happy
A bit sloppy now from us. The boss doesn't like it.
Derby won 4-0 at St Andy's
ANOTHER CORKER OF A GOAL!!!
FIVE NIL!!!
YESSSSSS!!!!!!
Raphinha with a lovely curler for 0-5!
WAY HAY! LEEDS FIVE UP. NICE ONE TOUCH PASSING AS RAPHINHA CUT INSIDE AND SCORED WITHA SUPERB CURLER IN THE UPPER 90
Big Sam must have kept the bus parked at Anfield!!
He forgot to bring it back down south
I saw the only other Prem goal of the half while on feeding duty and good thing since I was NOT able to read about it in La Cazette
Don't concede Leeds....I need the clean sheet
Saka still down...he is my player!
Bugger
I'm just getting an live text update from my favorite French periodical that Arsenal have taken the lead. Is that right?
LOL, Dave! Is the parking garage at the Hawthorns under construction? Out scored 8-0 at the Hawthorns, but Bob says eight is NOT enough
Yes. Brilliant substitution from Arteta. The sub scored 43 seconds after entering the field of play
Saka walking off....looks like he is going to try and continue...probably just stepped on
Ayling heads inches over as it skims the top of the net
In the first match of the post Pulius era Not a Big Club on top of the Teesiders
Goal at Hillsborough... managerless Wednesday take the lead vs Boro on Tuesday
Not a Big Club a pair of points from safety
Stevenage has defeated Cambridge 1-0 to move off the foot of the table
Bamford hits one just over...he must really want a goal
It was deflected.... corner to Leeds
Oh - Patrick finally got his chance there but blasted over. Might have taken a deflection.
Desmond watching the bottom two in L1 as Richard Burton hosts Wigan
Leeds show mercy by kicking the ball out of play as the Baggies have a player down. Bob will not be pleased
Helder Costa on for Raphinha
Raphinha off now for Helder Costa - good to see him getting a few minutes.
Atrocious attempt of a cross there... I think it hit a real Seagull and not a Seagull teammate
Leeds up to 11th and the Gunners up to 13th. Leeds needs two more goals without reply to move up to tenth ahead of the Hammers
Stu Dallas is still bombing down the wing and he earns a corner. Marvelous engine.
