Hiya, guys - thanks for joining me for a Friday Leeds Fest. MOT!
Interesting looking line-up with Roberts in for Alioski. Very forward looking. We're going to run at them for sure. Boys are on the pitch.
Teams are out at Molineux
Good Afternoon Bob and Dave. Here to join you for the Leeds match.
COME ON LEEDS! MOT!
Hi Bob
Wow - Wolves haven't scored an opening goal since November!
Wolves haven't scored the first goal in a Prem match since November. Hope that's encouragement for Leeds.
Robbie Mustoe predicting a Leeds win - wow!
We're set to go and Becky and the panel are still yacking.
Leeds playing in white tonight - nice!
I expect a really close match with Wolves sitting back. Hope Leeds score early to force them out of those tactics
Away we go
Agreed. Great to see both teams in their traditional kits.
They're off from Molineaux
Hi David
COME ON LEEDS!
MOT!
Fast start, please!
Early free kick for us. Let's make it count!
eARLY lEEDS FREE KICK
Right idea from Raphinha but too far in front of any Leeds players
Definitely , Bob An early goal or especially two will force Wolves to change their game plan
Karen Carney on the mic...she's the one that dissed Leeds earlier in the season
Neto threatened there but overcooked the cross. Thanks, mate!
Nice run by Tyler and pass in to Patrick. Earns a corner.
Bamford with a shot blocked by Dendonmcker for a corner off a pass from Tyler Roberts on the break
Not an hello from either of you.... can you hear me? I am going to go hit some guests!
The Wolves players breathing hard already - they're not used to this pace.
Wolves showing more initiative than they usually do early in a match
Oh - nice move there but Tyler just couldn't get on to it. End to end stuff.
I said "hi" back at 2:55, Dave. You need some more love this afternoon? ;-)
Hornets two up vs the Rams midway through the first half
I think we all can use some more love in these trying times, LOL!
Lonely this afternoon
The Shackleton experiment from the Arsenal match seems to be over. He's playing in Kal's spot with Pascal slipping in alongside Coop.
Hello, Dave. I said good afternoon, but a pleasant hello to you .
Stu gives away a corner. Mark 'em up!
Sorry, Dave. Hope we can provide some welcome company
Modern day corner.... keep it up
The commentators begging for us to concede from that corner. They can both sod off!
Oh - Neto produces a great save out of Meslier.
Nice save by the Yorkshire Messi
OH!great finger tip turn around by Meslier from Pedro Neto
Bamford heads away the corner
We're on a warming trend here. After a week of Lakenheath type weather, but with some below freezing nights we're having some balmy weather Sunny, in the low 50s, but little too breezy for my liking
Deflected shot by Raphinha straight to Rui Patricio
Oh - a deflected effort from Raphinha flies into the keeper's arms.
Hope you can continue to get warmer weather
We were supposed to get quite a bit of snow yesterday and today but only got a few inches....fed up with the stuff
Meslier is right behind that drive from Neto, who looks dangerous.
Pedro Neto cuts in and shoots straight at Meslier from 25 yards out
How's the weather out your way, Dave? Any snow?
Nasty by Sais, straight through Patrick. Where's the card?
Thanks, Dave. It snowed Sunday night in San Marcos. As of yesterday the snow was still there. Highly unusual for central Texas. Melanie liked it at the beginning, but now getting tired of it, especially, having to boil water
Oh - Coop should have scored there. Free header straight out in front.
Damn....Cooper could and should have scored for Leeds AND me!
Maybe Ted Cruz will bring you back some warm weather from Cancun, eh David? What a bollocks!
Free kick from Raphinha driven by a Mini Copper with the head straight to Rui patricio then at the other end wide by Pedro Neto, who seems to be getting too many chances
Agreed, Bob. I trashed a local conservative acquaintance for making excuses for that. I really let him have it
The referee is being far too picky here - I'm sick of it.
Well in, David - he deserves it, I'm sure.
Raphinha bursts through there and earns a corner. Nice stuff.
Another corner - this one needs to go in!
Oh - Off the the post!
Second pathetic corner by Leeds!! BEAT THE FRONT POST!!!
oooh...off the post then blocked
Thanks, Bob. It's been a stressful week. We are all a little on edge, but the LOB is a great escape from that
I thought that was a Leeds lead
Oh - we were out of position there and Meslier had to save sharply from Sameda.
Close range shot from Samedo straight to Meslier and out for a corner
Half an hour in and I'm reasonably satisfied. Both sides playing attacking stuff but we've had the lion's share of it.
It's raining cats and dogs in the West Midlands, but probably warmer than a lot of days we had here this week
It's been a competitive contest. Could go either way
The Freshman team with more possession than the Junior team
Meslier saves from Samedo again. Dangerous.
Oh - Raphinha knocked a great ball across the area that Tyler just couldn't get to.
Leeds go close!!
Shanked shot almost met at the back post
Pass from Raphinha just too far in front of Tyler Roberts after being gifted possession from Los Lobos
Raphinha's corners have been too flat so far - he's got to get a bit more loft on it.
How's Kathy feeling these days, Dave?
Oh - a teasing ball in from Stu that no one could latch on to.
My only concern is despite Wolves poor run of results they are historically a second half team . A Leeds goal would help
She is back at work this week.
She is feeling okay but still has not taste or much of a smell
Shadow has recovered from his trials and was doing fine. Just last night he didn't eat and is walking slowly. Hope he's ok
Thanks for asking
Hope Kathy is doing well. How is she?
Sorry about Shadow. Hope he feels better. Glad Kathy is well enough to go back to work. Hope she recovers sense of taste and smell. My sister-in-law went through that , but eventually did gain back those senses
It's 0-0 at the half. No added time
Half time
Scoreless but not a bad game
Patrick looks like he needs a nice cuppa - and he'll get one as the half time whistle goes.
It's been a highly enjoyable and lively first half with both sides going at it. 0-0.
I'll watch the highlights of the Wednesday matches since I couldn't watch them that day
Why does the COCK need to go on breaks!!! The panel has had the whole half off.... match ends... we go to a screen of Cock shows!
It's a light bench right now, with Kal and Rodrigo both missing. Most of the players are there for emergencies, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Helder Costa come on. Joe Gelhardt has made the bench again. He's an Academy kid with a lot of promise. Still hasn't made his debut.
They are talking about City's second goal.... all the passes....SORRY.... I HATE IT!
All the games on Sunday on the COCK..... I HATE THEM!
I have no idea - they should be able to give us full coverage during the half. They even go to a test pattern at times.
I might have to boycott the Cock Sunday.
Leeds boys coming back out now - come on!
I hate the Cock, but hope it's not boycotted , or at least for the late one from OT
Agreed, Dave. Way too much passing even though the end of the move and the finish were good
We are off for the second half
But everyone goes gaga!!!
Second half underway from Molineaux.
COME ON LEEDS! MOT!
Fast start, please, boys!
Agreed, Dave. I did notice that. No need for the analysts to over exaggerate what Citeh does
I just looked at the Sunday matches. They look like decent matches, but ridiciulous that every single one is on the COCK!
No changes yet; that indicates that Marcelo is somewhat pleased so far.
I've been watching some of United matches from the 2000s.....they were so attacking and DIRECT!!! Whenever they got the ball...they passed the ball forward or sprinted into space!
That is what I loved
Nice move there but Jack's touch let him down. Shame.
Hornets still two up vs the Rams and now third behind the Bees on goal difference. Hornets need five more goals to surpass the Bees into second place
I think Bielsa will wait until an hour is gone to make any changes if it remans 0-0
Ruben Neves high and wide with a long range shot
Neves tries a pop from distance - nowhere near close. He can do that all evening for my taste.
Oh - Neto was nearly in there but the boys tracked back well.
High and wide from Pedro Neto when he should have passed after both sides took turns coughing up possession
Leeds cough it up in the midfield with a stupid try of a move!!
Agreed, Dave. I noticed tactics changing around the time I joined the LOB in the 2009-10 season
Ahhh....so it is all your fault!!!
I think it was more the time when Pep came in!
City weren't like it under Mancini
Oh - great move leads to Coady conceding a corner. Nice ball in from Ayling.
AN Ayling cross cleared by Connor Coady for a Leeds corner
Again it's a really flat delivery. Must be something from the training pitch but it's not working yet.
Corner from Raphinha off Ruben Neves for another
Tyler rockets one off Struijk. Shame.
Poor volley from Tyler Roberts off a nice corner from Raphinha that came off teammate, Struijch
Correct, Dave . Definitely my fault, but unintentional. Like Frankenstein, A failed experiment , but I created a monster
Nearly an hour in now - surely some changes coming. I suspect Helder.
Stop calling me Shirley
MOT being played over the PA system at Molineaux
Wolves go to their bench first. Marcal on for Jonny in a moment.
Okay Leslie Nielsen. What should I call you. Hopefully not late for supper
Boom boom, Dave!
Now that change occurs.
Definitely BOOM BOOM!
Ayling wins a nice free kick there off Traore.
An Ayling challenge as he does well to use his body to win a free kick off of Adama Traore
Comes to nothing, unfortunately.
I was watching the Roma 7-1 game.... so brilliant!!
I was actually watching that live at my cousin's house in Portsmouth!! It was such a great night!
Header from Mini Cooper driven straight with his head to Rui Patricio off a free kick from Raphinha
Klich is fouled and we've got another free kick. Sais is begging for a card now.
That was an incredible match and the perfect place and occasion to watch it
The Arsenal 8-2....missed that game live because we had no power because of a hurricane
Oh - Coop in there with a powerful header but straight at Rui Patricio. Patrick's follow up was blocked out.
ooooh.....bloody hell!! Header should have been buried!!
OH! Great close range reflex save by Rui Patricio then Bamford with a shot cleared off the line . Closest either team has come to scoring
Bloody hell!!!!
WHAT A FLUKE OF A GOAL!!
AN OG BY MESSI
Bollocks! Traore hits a worldy and it comes off the angle and then off Meslier and in.
1-0 Wolves.
BUGGER! THEN WOLVES SCORE SECONDS LATE. LONG RANGE SHOT FROM ADAMA TRAORE CRASHES OFF THE BAR AND BOUNCES OFF OF MESLIER FOR AN UNFORTUNATE OG
Sorry, Bob. An undeserved and lucky Wolves lead. Leeds can come back
Alright - let's get this one back.
Pablo coming on for a bit of magic now.
Jamie Shackleton is the one who gives way for Pablo, as Raphinha has a chance to whip another free kick in.
Experience for youth as Pablo Hernandez on for Jamie Shackleton
Oh - Coop is on to the free kick again but it's saved.
Another Coop chance!!
Free Kick from Raphinha driven by Mini Cooper with a volley and blocked by Rui Patricio
He's had three shots on target....wins another but misses the target
Coop must score one of those - so many chances!
There's been more drives by Mini Cooper than by a professional golfer in a tournament
Pedro Neto wins a corner off of Jack Harrison off a one two
Modern Day corner from Neto headed away
Free kick now for Wolves in a dangerous position.
Wolves win a free kick off hand ball by Pablo Hernandez
I'm surprised Leeds can have any passes come from Dallas with the big freeze going on.
too much passing by Leeds... ball never went into the box
The commentators are happy with the the possession..... and complained when the ball went into the box
I HATE THE MODERN GAME
Tyler wins a good free kick in a dangerous position now. What can be conjure from this one?Bollocks! Traore hits a worldy and it comes off the angle and then off Meslier and in.
1-0 Wolves.
Samedo called for a cynical obstruction on Tyler Roberts
Another teasing ball in from Tyler but Patrick couldn't get to it.
Still got plenty of time to find the equalizer. We just need to keep playing our game.
BUGGER!~BAMFORD WITH A GOAL DISALLOWED FOR OFFSIDE. VAR TO CHECK
Yes! Patrick runs through and slots home.
The flag is up, though. Shame.
Bugger..... I HATE VAR
It is ruled offside - bugger!
It's down to millimeters ,which is inconclusive, but it will be disallowed
Sorry, Bob. Leeds have been really unlucky tonight
Helder coming on to meet his former mates. Gjanni as well.
Hornets lead Rams 2-1 in second half stoppage time
Klich and Jack off for those two. Let's hope it makes the difference.
Ali Kliched on and Costa for Jack Harrison on the final rolls of the dice for Bielsa
The Wolves sub is subbed - picked up a knock, I suppose. Not much of a birthday.
French teenager, Ryan Ait-Nouri, on for Marcal. Youth for experience
I wonder if Bob wants Mini Cooper to attend some Driver's Ed courses
Hornets hold on to defeat the Rams 2-1 and are now third behind the Bees on goal difference
Come on Leeds....You deserve something from this!
Moutinho with a shot from 25 yards out high and wide, but not too far off target
Tyler wins a corner with a great run. This one has to go in!
Tyler Roberts tackled by Dendoncker for a corner
I agree, Dave - this is highway robbery!
Dave will be pleased that there will be no stoppage time substitutions this match
now all the tedious subbing
SOMETHING has to be done but no one else but me is complaining about it
The final roll of the dice from Nuno the Spiritly Saint as Fabio Silva on for willian Jose
Luke gives up a dangerous free kick now. Mark 'em up!
I agree with you on the stoppage time subs, but there's probably a god seven to weight minutes left if you include stoppage time. This is better than normal
Now Wolves will take an age to take this free kick and probably won't put it into the box
I CALLED IT!!
I HATE IT!!
Now Coady is down faking it - really cynical stuff from Wolves.
What kind of a game is this? The object is to score goals!!
Someone went down.... he'll lay down for ten minutes
He's fine!
YIKES! Rocket of a shot from Tyler Roberts practically knocks Connor Coady unconscious.
What kind of a game is this? The object is to score goals!!
Someone went down.... he'll lay down for ten minutes
He's fine!
They stopped play....he should have to go off
He's back up and able to continue
They better add some time here.
