A Really Huge Sunday Triple Header of Premier League
It's a Sunday Triple Header of Premier League Football and starts with an evil fixture as the last place Evil Blades host the Spuds. That is followed by the marquee matchup of today and perhaps the season as Liverpool vs United kicks off at 11:30 AM from Anfield as it's third vs first. It's probably the most heated rivalry in English football and in recent years has proved to be a disappointing fixture. Hopefully, that is not the case today.If United win then they go four points clear pop the second placed Foxes ahead of Citeh vs Palace in the late fixture.. If the other Man Club wins and United win then the two Man Clubs will occupy the top two spots , separated by three points. The opening act is on NBCSN with the two later matches on the Cock. Join me for all the action

Morning Boys
A big day indeed
We are off at Bramall Lane
Good morning, Dave. Here to join you as I'm feeding the resident cockatiel.
Blades cause themselves trouble right away...they survive
Again....no Bale! Why did Jose bring him in?
If Spurs win by 3 goals....they will overtake Liverpool!
City win....they will overtake Liverpool!
United win.... Liverpool will be 5th
ONE NIL SPURS!!
Ok.... so Jose will now sit back for a 1-0 win
GOAL !!! THE SPUDS SCORE OFF A CORNER
The goal was a header by Aurier off a corner from Number One Son. The corner came when Ramsdale did well to tip over a long range shot from Steve Berg-Wine off a pass from Harry Kane
Chance for a Spuds second as Harry Kane and Abel to put through Number One Son who shoots wide . Should have scored even though Ramsdale did well to come out and narrow the angle
Two more goals... the big match will be 4th vs 1st
End of the day.... City win... United win... Spurs win... Liverpool FIFTH!
That's normally the way Jose's teams play, but why sit on a lead against the se mugs? A chance to run up the score
Could very well change to fourth vs first. If those results happen then the two Man clubs will be in the top two spots.
Surely, Bale will leave soon.... Jose drives me nuts he does things like this!
I'd like to see Bale playing in the Premier League!
Morning, guys - thanks for getting us started, David. I was having a lovely lie-in after a late night watching some fun stuff.
I'm delighted to see that the Blades are already 0-1 down. Fantastic!
Morning Bob, I had nice lie-in too this morning... didn't stay up late tho! I am becoming a wimp!
Spurs break.... a yellow card deserved there
Ref stops Spurs from taking a quick one
The teams on display for what they're worth:
Sheffield United: Ramsdale, Bogle, Basham, Egan, Ampadu, Stevens, Lundstram, Norwood, Fleck, McGoldrick, Burke
Subs: Jagielka, Foderingham, Sharp, Brewster, Bryan, Lowe, Baldock
Spurs: Lloris, Aurier, Rodon, Dier, Davies, Reguilon, Hojbjerg, Ndombele, Bergwijn, Son, Kane
Subs: Hart, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Gedson, Lamela, Bale, Lucas, Vinicius, Sissoko
Olly Norwood booked for a foul from behind on the break on Harry Kane who is Not Abel to take the quick free kick. Not right as Andre Marriner could have issued the yellow card later
I still can't believe that the big match is on the Cock. Disgraceful!
Cheers, Bob and I thought you would be happy
Don't feel bad , Dave. I'm becoming a wimp at staying up late too.
Hard to believe that the Evil Blades have not won away in the Prem since February 1st when they won 0-1 at Selhurst Park. Their only away win in the Prem in the 2020 calendar year
Have the Evil Blades players had an extraction at the orthodontist?They're really toothless in attack
I bet the panel on NBCSN are embarrassed about the COCK
It is scandalous!
Useless clearance from Lloris... he survives
Until recently, I could only watch the Cock on the computer but after I got the $25 Roku Express... I can watch it on the telly
Fleck shoots straight at Lloris from 25 yards out. Evil Blades have played better the last couple of minutes
Top of the Table clash.... 2nd vs 1st....in the WSL
Chelsea 0 Man Utd 0 going on right now
Chelsea have a game in hand but are in second
I need a Kane goal
Great cross... ball still in the box... cleared
I agree about the Cock. If the panel is embarrassed then no sympathies from Yours Truly
I'm looking at the pitch at Bramall Lane today and comparing it to the pitch at Elland Road yesterday. This one is the typical green velvet carpet that you're used to seeing on telly these days even in winter. I don't know what the hell the groundskeeping staff at Elland Road were thinking. It definitely affected the performance.
We should buy a roku express . It sure would help. Not sure if it works for people who have satellite instead of cable
GOAL! Harry Kane slots home Spurs' second. Lovely!
Kane doubles Spurs lead
More stupid playing around the back....nice shot
GOAL !!!! HARRY KLANE AND ABEL TO PUT THE SPUDS TWO UP WITH A NICE FINISH FROM 25 YARDS OUT
Great turn and strike from the England skipper!
All you need is wifi for Roku Express
I just have it plugged into one of my TV's HDMI port
I'd like a couple more Kane goals please
One more Spurs goal... Liverpool in FOURTH
Harry Kaner and Abel to give Dave some points. Is that correct?
Of course, all these league positions mean nuttin with everyone being so close
Olly Norwood coughed up possession in midfield to Hoy Berg and he passed to Harry Kane for that great position
Thanks for the info, Dave. We'll look into that. Elizabeth will be at target tomorrow
Into stoppage time. A pair of those minutes
An hour before the side is announced but will Pogba start?
I guess he deserves to but not sure he will
I think OGS will put in Fred and McTom
My side would be
De Gea
Obiwan, Bailly, Mags, Shaw
McTom, Fred, Pogba,
Bruno
Rash, Greenwood
Cavani to come off bench
Spurs behind Liverpool on goals scored. Dave stated that goal;s count, but Jose evidently didn't read the memo
Also not sure which Pogba shows up if he does start
We got ours at Target. It was on sale for less than $25 but I think it is usually $29
I think you need to run off to Target at half time!!!
HT at BL
Spurs 2 nil up
The Spuds two up at the half at the all but doomed Evil Blades
LOL, Dave! Sparky need his walks. Good point
Chelsea have taken the lead over United...bugger
We are off at BL
Nice passing by United but .... of course...they don't shoot!
Kane takes a quick shot from a free kick...tipped over
I'm quite happy with where this match is going. Roy Keane on Sky has described Sheffield United as "the worst team to ever play in the Premier League." I concur with Keano.
I need another Kane goal or two.... and one more Spurs goal to drop Liverpool even further down the table!
Back from walkies , feeding Sparky, and taking out the trash
I disagree with Roy Keane .This is a wretched side, but thew Rams of 2007-2008 were far worse. Anybody remember them?
I remember them
Spurs should have done better there
Hope the match from Anfield is a good one because it's perfect weather for outdoor activities here. Won't be in a few months
Spurs two up in this Premier league contest. Not sure why I'm saying contest because it's been anything but
Busy week of Prem footer coming up
Mon
Arsenal v Newcastle
Tues
West Ham v West Brom
Leicester v Chelsea
Wed
Man C v Aston V
Fulham v Man U
Thurs
Liverpool v Burnley
Sat
Aston V v Newcastle
PLUS all the FA Cup matches Fr-Mon
Goal... by McGOALdrick
Game on
Bugger! Spurs hvae allowed McGoldrick to score a simple header. And we've got a game that's back on.
1-2.
Spurs... almost get their two goal lead right back... NBC almost missed it
GOAL!!! NICE HEADER FROM DAVID MC GOAL RICK. NICE CROSS FROM THE LEFT AND QWELL PLACED HEADER. JOSE HASN'T LEARNED HIS LESSON
Nice cross from John Fleck for that goal
I will be going on a walk in between the matches...it is chilly out there!
David will be TARGETing a Roku!
This is typical Spursyness.
I don't think this Blade team is that bad
The S[uds now need two goals to move up to third place. Jose still doesn't realize that goals count
GOAL...Nice goal!!!
3-1!!
GOAL !!! WHAT A NICE CHIPPY FROM TANGY OVER RAMSDALE. SPURS NOW LEAD 1-3
Totally planned
You could see him take a look.... great idea...and he pulled it off
Kind of goal either of the Italian Stallions would have scored
That's more like it - Ndombele adds a third goal and stretches the ap to two goals again.
Another goal conceded because the Evil Blades not so evil as they coughed up possession in their own half. Regulon passed back to Steve Berg-Wine and his lobbed pass to N'Dummy was chopped over and Ramsdale and off the inside of the post. It helps that Ramsdale isn't the tallest of goalkeepers in the Prem
Spuds need one more goal to move up to third.
GOALS COUNT , JOSE!
5Live are calling it one of the goals of the season.... I don't think I would go that far
If the Evil Blades continue to be this charitable then Bonb will stop calling them evil
I agree, Dave. That's a bit of an exaggeration from 5 Live as it was fromRoy calling the Blades the worst ever Prem team
I was thinking about the python movie a day ion the life of Bryan as Kean Bryan came on for Olly Norwood. A day in his life this season is watching his teammates continuously be on the wrong end of defeat after defeat
You might as well leave now David...you'll be back for kick off
Shoot it Harry!!
Mc Goal Rick had a long range shot straight to Lloris.
We get really good reception on thew iMac
Team news in from Anfield
Lindeloff starts!
WHY?
I think NBC is embarrassed about showing the big match on Peacock since Peacock is written in small print and in white so it's difficult to read
That's a good question. Is Bailly injured?
Pogba starts
Henderson in the back four
No, he's on the subs bench. I don't get it
Liverpool
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Henderson, Fabinho, Robertson; Wijnaldum, Thiago, Shaqiri; Salah, Firmino, Mane.
United
De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelof, Shaw, Fred, McTominay, Pogba, Fernandes, Martial, Rashford.
Hendo has played that position before, but I think United can take advantage of that
I don't either....he gives pace to the back four
Number One Son with a shot that takes a wicked deflection for a corner
Blades up next
Utd a, City a, WBA h, Chelsea a
Not liking the Bailly decision but I am okay with the rest of the team
Impact subs too
Come on Spurs... one more goal to overtake Pool
another match... another no Bale
Jose is an idiot....he does it for the headlines
This one is done and dusted . Jose still doesn't realize that goals count
3 added minutes until I leave for walkies in between snowflakes
Kane...blazes it over the bar... bugger!
An LOB blogging trio of stoppage time minutes
I saw the Blades schedule you posted. In the next four Prem matches only the one vs the Baggies looks winnable and that's a maybe
Of course, when United win... Liverpool will drop below Spurs anyway
Another sub.... after the 90th minute.... DRIVES ME NUTS
There is NO REASON for it
United have equalized at Chelsea in NWSL
COME ON UNITED!
Agreed, Dave. If I didn't know any better Jose is doing everything he can to irk you
AND ANOTHER ONE!!
The whistle is going in 30 seconds....he won't get on!
WHAT IS THE POINT!!!
HE IS COMING ON WITH FIVE SECONDS LEFT
No Bale again
WAY HAY! United need to score at Anfield too
It should be illegal!!!
Bloody ridiculous Why sub deep in stoppage time when the match is already won as Davionson Sanchez on for Regulon
That's it
Spurs have won 3-1....not good enough to overtake Liverpool
I am off for walkies
I'll be back on the COCK.....grrrrr
The final whistle blows seconds later as the Spuds win 1-3 at Bramall Lane
I'm happy with that 1-3 win for Spurs. It keeps the Blades rooted to the bottom on 5 points right where they belong.
I'm back from a luxurious Sunday shower and really looking forward to this one.
Teams in the tunnel then. We're just about ready to go on the Cock.
Come on, you Red Devils!
I am back from walkies tuning in the COCK
It stuns me that NBC wouldn't put this on their proper NBC channel let alone NBCSN!
This regular season match has far more watchers than the Super Bowl!!
FINALLY the COCK's coverage starts
Teams already out
NBC don't get it... the pregame goes right up to Cock coverage....it takes forever to load!
Still annoyed with no Bailly
Also, with Liverpool's TWO makeshift center backs....should Cavani be there to cause havoc
Thanks, again, lads for the assist with Peacock. It's vital for us today.
United in all black today...no zebras in sight!
BTW, Tom has a one of those.... not bad looking in real life
Here for the big one from Anfield and a deserved moment of applause for Gerry Marsden
I prefer the black cat over the zebra kit
Nice tribute to Gerry Marsden there. His voice will live on forever. My favorite of his hits with the Pacemakers is "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying." Beautiful version.
Minute applause for Gerry and the Pacemakers
Two fans were talking on Talksport yesterday
The Untied fan thinks the Anfield atmosphere is not a big as people say....there is YNWA at the beginning and that is it!
The one player the Pool fan would take from United....Bailly!
They're off from Anfield
COME ON MAN UNITED!
Go on, the Black Cats!
We are off
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
United haven't lost away since their last trip here
Pogba...play like a World Champion
Come on United... attack those two center backs!
Also, I don't think Three First Names is the good of a defender
aNDY rOBERTSON SHOOTS INTO THE SIDE NETTING AS pOOL SSTRUNG TOGWETHER SOME PASSES AS uNITED WERE STANDING BACK
phew....why didn't Shaq not shoot
Geez...United passing inside their box
KNOCK IT OFF
You just put yourself under pressure inside your own box!
MINDLESS
United a bit too defensive at the start here, ceding the possession to Liverpool.
twice already....the don't keep Shaq on his right foot.....he doesn't have one
Useless cross by Rash...COME ON....put in a decent delivery
Poor pass from Rash on a United counter. United used Kung Fu to start the counter
I don't like all of these patterns in the modern kits. Just have a solid color and leave it at that.
Useless cross by Rash...COME ON....put in a decent delivery
Useless by United from a throw in
Agreed about the kits
Arlo uses frenetic to describe both teams constantly coughing up possession
Come on United... get a foothold
Come on Pogba....World Champ
I agree about the kits too
Cottagers keeper technically a world champ too
United are not playing fast enough right now
They are just waiting to counterattack....how about just attack
Thiago...totally overrated in the Prem so far
He hasn't played!
Arlo calls the Pool possession promising. He's unprepared. If he were more prepared he would be ready for disappointment
Bobby Chompers has a shot blocked then it breaks to Andy Robertson who shoots well over
Come on United... pass the ball better
Bailly would have blocked that thru ball
Lindy just let it pass him
Bobby Chompers shoots well wide off a pass from Mane
Oh - great break there nearly got Rashford in.
Never a foul ref!!
I thought that was a really soft foul to end a promising attack
United's passing drives me nuts....the simple ones!
Stay onside Martial....you have the entire line in front of you
Chelsea Women beat United 2-1 and are on top of the Red Devils on GD....bummer
Shaw clears it straight to a red shirt....COME ON!!
Arlo annoys me so much
Shaquiri with shot from just outside the box deflected for a corner off a long possession
The legendary record producer Phil Spector has died in prison at the age of 81, possibly from Covid. I wonder if he was an influence on Mike and JHJ?
Shaq with a shot deflected wide
Again....letting him get the ball to his left foot !!
Corner taken short then leads to another corner from TAA headed out by the first man
I am really annoyed with United right now!
Oh - Firmino was in there but didn't feel confident about hitting it with his left peg. Cut in on his right and then chance was lost.
Own worst enemy right now!
Good block by Lindy
Great block by Lindelof then Salah shoots high and wide
United are too casual is possession right now
They don't want to keep possession OR go forward!
Wake up United!
I know that United, under SAF, have been under the cosh for 90 minutes and then score a 90th minute winner....I'd take that today but I'd prefer United attack!
Shaquiri with an illegal karate chop that injures opponent but not seriously
WHAT ARE UNITED DOING!!!
SO POOR!!!
GET THE BALL OUT OF YOUR OWN HALF
Shaquiri with a shot from just outside the box high and wide
And we are still doing it!!
MADNESS
All this passing... ball still hasn't gone over the half way line
STILL
STILL
One touch in the opposing half and then lose it
Useless pass from Bruno after what Shaw was a nice solo run
CLUELESS!!
OGS is a striker...why wouldn't he want his team to attack!!
United have a free kick now. Come on!
Pogba fouled by Wijnaldum off a poor Pool pass
Come on Bruno... beat the first man
Pass Shaw was cleared off a free kick from Bruno
Goes to back post... cleared
Ball given away again in the midfield
How ridiculous is Arlo... ball sound different leaving Thiago's foot.... seriously!!
Still passing it inside our box.... SO DANGEROUS
SO STUPID
BOOODY PEP
TAA gave away possession 38 times at the Saints. CRICKEY! I don't think I ever did that and he's an England international. Christmas in January?
And another. Let's use it this time!
Agreed. Really stupid comment about Thiago
Three players offside. Ridiculous!
Offside....stay on side!!!!!!!!
Four people offside from the United free kick. Not exactly the four musketeers there
