PEA only starts on the bench....strange
Foxes are now Five Nil up on the Blades
Stop scoring.....United still ahead of Leicester on GD
Not a good start for the Blades interim boss....ex-Leeds man Heckingbottom
Morning, Dave - how are you mate?
Not - not a good start for Heck, our old LUFC chum. Am I unhappy that he's no longer our manager? Uh - not at all.
I'll look forward to welcoming the Blades to Elland Road in a couple of weeks time. I hope they don't sort themselves out before then. They're mad to let Chris Wilder go before the end of the season.
Still can't believe my lot lost at home to them!!!!
I'm of course rooting for the Gunners today, not just because of Steve but because I hate Jose Mourinho and the way that his team plays.
Teams in the tunnel now - NBC off for a GEICO ad, of course.
I need a big day by Harry Kane, Odegaard, Tierney and Saka
I'm losing at the moment
I've tuned in AFTV watch along to hear their whining!
PEA has been left out of the team for disciplinary reasons
And off to sell some beer right before kick-off. Come on!
Aubama must have had a bust-up with the boss. Crikey!
PEA looks pissed!!
Wonder what he did!
Lateness? Something else?
We are off
And we're set to go then. Arsenal get us underway with Odegaard apparently playing up front as a false #9.
AFTV is very entertaining
I HATE THE FALSE 9 CRAP
BLOODY PEP
120 minutes yesterday
Took 60 today for a goal to finally be scored at Wembley
Sunderland take the lead over Tranmere in the 2021 EFL Trophy Final....after Salford beat Pompey in the 202 EFL Trophy Final yesterday
Kenny Jacket... out at Fratton Park after the loss
I think they should go and get Chris Wilder
My cousin said that Chris Coleman is the frame for the job
I'm sure that it haunts Gooners whenever boyhood Gooner Harry Kane shows up at their patch. Arsene Wenger's blind spot about English strikers means that there are two strikers in the Premier League - Kane (16) and Patrick Bamford (13) who were let go by Arsenal as kids and now have a combined 29 goals this season.
Free kick chance for the Gunners
I thought David Luis was going to have a pop... but it is chipped in... Comes to nothing
Good start from the Gunners
AFTV is ahead of NBC.... HOW!!!
For the Sheffield United job? Chris Coleman?
Yeah - bright start from Arsenal.
What is AFTV?
No, Pompey
Arsenal fans...they are so entertaining to watch!
One bloke has soooooo red tainted glasses it is comical
I'm watching them on Youtube
Gossip on Twitter says that Aubama was late to a team meeting - not his first offense. Dropped because of that. Sounds like a wise decision to me.
Most clubs have watch alongs for the matches during the lockdown
I watch a couple of United ones too
Sounds like fun - I wonder if Steve knows about it. He hates listening to Lee Dixon during these matches. I think he keeps it muted.
Spurs have been very attacking as of late but not today!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGGUCq7sTEo
These guys are the ones that usually interview each other outside the ground after matches
They are getting rich from it!
I've been enjoying a lot of Leeds content on YouTube. Of course, the Bielsa press conferences, but also training videos, the Leeds United Show with Jermaine Beckford and even U23 match highlights.
All Arsenal right now!
I am sure there is a Leeds watch along
They're very Mourinho - they only attack when they absolutely have to.
I'll try to find it. Thanks for the tip.
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=leeds+united+chelsea+watch+along
It is fun to watch
Spurs.... ridiculous at the back....just pin yourself in the corner!
There are some numpties out there too who think that they're going to be YouTube stars. One guy posts click bait headlines to get viewers in like "Haaland to Elland Road?!!!!!!" Uh no.
The city of his birth!!
Decent attack there with Lloris having to sweep up. Ends with Xhaka Khan blasting over.
Still all red at the Em
Just for you, mate: Possession so far: Arsenal 75-25 Spurs.
What a thunderbolt....by Smith Rowe... off the bar!
Yeah - Haaland was born in Leeds - but he's not coming back, unless it's to score boatlands against us for Citeh or Liverpool or you lot.
SHUT IT
The same bloke was posting "Messi to Leeds?!!!!!!" back in January.
Oh dear... Sonaldo is down... looks like a hammy!
That is a shame
Oh dear - Son seems to have done his hammy now. Not good for the Spuds.
I thought it might be Dele All I was coming on
It isn't going to be DA... it is going to be Lamela
Eric Lamela replaces Son - big blow for Tottenham.
They're still nattering on about Aubameyang - he's not even playing, you muppets!
Oh - Smith-Rowe skinned his man and laid it on a plate for Lacazette. Didn't hit the target. That's Arsenal's main problem. They don't have a decent striker.
Did the Numpties say that Spurs hadn't won 4 in a row against Arsenal since 1974?
WHAT A FINISH BY LAMELA!!!
Great shot!
Spurs shot on goal
GOAL! Lamela scores from a seemingly impossible position against the run of play.
Spuds 0-1 up.
I'm not sure exactly why they're raving about that goal. It was a good shot but nothing that sensational.
It was a rabonna
I think it was a great finish.... of course... not as much as the two numpties
Off the post by the Gunners
Still all Arsenal!
So negative by Jose again!!
AFTV having kittens!
Oh - now Cedric has hit the post!
I didn't notice that - it just looked to me like he kicked it with his right foot. I'll have to run it back again.
No, it was a great finish with his left
Useless modern day corner crap!
I've just gone back and watched it again - it happened so quickly, I didn't see. Great skill!
Smith Rowe looks a great player
GOAL
Odegaard equalizes.... he's my man
GOAL! Odegaard with his debut goal for the Gunners!
1-1!
Deflected in but he won't care
Great stuff from Tierney, who's been a real find this season. Not a good contact from the Dane but it trickled in nonetheless.
Has Bale or Kane touched the ball!!
Tierney is my man too
Why on earth have you picked Odegaard. He's not very good.
Half time
Arsenal deserved that equalizer....they deserved more
Jose being VERY negative
He was a new guy in Jan and picked him up
Why on earth do I have so many Leeds and Arsenal players!
This score or an Arsenal win would be good results for Liverpool....don't like that
AFTV wanted Lamela to be sent off before before the goal
Apparently, he kicked out at DL
Pepe on for Saka....bugger...he's my guy
Spurs with an early break....poor!!
Nice run and cross by Bale
No one on the end of it
Sunderland have taken the EFL Trophy off of Salford City's hands in less that 24 hours after they got it!
NINE non-Big Six teams have won a trophy since Spurs
They mentioned a few
Swansea, Birmingham, Wigan, Portsmouth,
Who else?
Leicester
Don't think there is NINE
The Gazette with a shot....spilled.... no one there
Bale hasn't done much at all today... of course..... Jose making the point and taking him off
Dixon is going on about Bale not interested....shut it
I'm back after a bite of lunch for the remaining half hour. Bale has just come off shaking his head. Sissoko on for him. Defensive move. Bale didn't look bothered today.
Welcome back
Dele Alli coming on.... for Ndom
A lot of Spurs men look like they can't be bothered.... FOR THE DERBY!!
Penalty to the Arsenal! Doherty on Laca.
PENALTY TO SPURS!
Ball into The Gazette...Sanchez was no where near the ball.... Gazette's shot was no where near the goal!!
I don't know about that - Laca completely whiffed on the initial effort. But then his body momentum carried him into Sanchez.
Awful effort by Gazette
Now Arlo wants to talk about a red.... EVERYONE wants cards!!
The penalty stands. Laca to take - a really big moment in this Derby.
He slots home - Arsenal are 2-1 up!
Great spot kick...side netting
Reminds me of my pens
Who knows these days
Can Spurs actually start playing?
They have done absolutely NOTHING
SO PATHETIC
All AFTV wants are yellow cards.... for every tackle!
Dangerous cross by Kane...no one on the end of it
Still ONE shot on goal by Spurs.... what is the point of the game!!!
Finally, another
I'm not sure that spurs have another gear, to be honest. It's just the Mourinho curse.
I thought that Arteta had made a big mistake taking Saka off and putting Pepe on at half-time. But Pepe has made me eat my words. Great assist for the Laca pen and all round he's been excellent.
Wow - Lamela's having a day! He's off for a second yellow now!
Second yellow.... Lamella is off
Didn't start
Came on
Scored
Yellow
Yellow
could have been a straight red
Willian comes on for Smith-Rowe, who's been excellent today.
Spurs have been useless today
I thought they...and Bale had turned the corner
I'm fine with that being a second yellow. He was merely trying to hold off his man. It wasn't like the Leonardo elbow slam on Claudio Reyna in the 1994 WC. That's a straight red.
I think Saka must have been injured
Agreed
AFTV don't agree with you
Partey with a loose ball that gifts Spurs a corner.
Hate to say it Steve.... but I need a Kane goal
Mistake at the back .... gifted corner
Misses everyone
I'm sure they didn't agree.
That's alright - Steve's not on the blog, so you can say what you like.
Oh - there's your Kane goal! No - it's flagged off. Shame for you; good for Steve.
Ball in the net... Kane heads it in... offside called
Seven Spurs players are offside!!
Great header, though. I'd like to see a few of those this summer.
Me too!!1
Arsenal need to stop mucking about though with less than ten minutes left. They can't really afford to give away silly corners and free kicks in dangerous areas.
Arsenal have a man advantage but they are playing more negative than they have the whole game
No PEA today
Elneny on to bolster the defense now. That's what you expect at this point, but I do love supporting a club whose manager puts another striker on at 1-0 with ten minutes left.
Kane free kick chance
Kane over a free kick now. They didn't take my advice.
Off the post then saved off the line!!!
Wow!
Oh my word - Kane off the post and then Gabriel clears off the line.
Great block by Gab
Spurs are finally coming to life now. It's about time they woke up.
5 added minutes
SO INCONSISTENT!!
Why FIVE!!!
As I have said, something has to happen to the clock
I think there should be no added time. I think the ref's watch is the clock! I also think that after the 90th minute, you play until the ball goes out of play
All this added time will stop!
Spurs taking their time
Another Kane free kick chance
I still think they are taking their sweet time
This has to go in if your from Norman.....the Whiteside of the NLo
Bloody hell - Gabriel with another bad foul in a dangerous area. It's all down to this free kick.
Well over the bar
That should do it
That is it
Spurs do a Spurs again
Good result for Liverpool and Chelsea
Congrats to Steve - that's a huge win for them.
Now for the last match of the day
Manchester United host West Ham.... a top five match up
The Line ups
Man Utd XI: Henderson, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, Fred, McTominay, Greenwood, Fernandes, James, Rashford.
Subs: Grant, Bishop, Bailly, Diallo, Telles, Matic, Williams, Tuanzebe, Shoretire.
West Ham XI: Fabianksi, Coufal, Dawson, Diop, Cresswell, Rice, Soucek, Johnson, Noble, Bowen, Antonio.
Subs: Martin, Trott, Balbuena, Benrahma, Lanzini, Alves Ibsen, Odubeko, Coventry.
Next up is the big one - United v. WH. I've got to help Kate with some chores around the house, so I'll be a bit in and out.
As you know....this United NEVER install me with much confidence...especially at home!
I hope they surprise me
Come on, you Red Devils!!!
3rd vs 5th
Rumors that United are in for Pope.... waste of money... keep Henderson and go for Elland Road Baby
COME ON UNITED.... I need some goals from Rash and Greeny
Away we go
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
We do have the Shot Screamer on the line
not on the line...on the Mic
A United win would be huge for United and the top four
A loss would really close up the top 5
United can't get the ball
I really dislike this David Moyes team.
All West Ham for the first two minutes.... the ball hasn't left United's right side!
Finally United touch the ball up top
Cross it Greenwood!!
Greenwood with a chance.....WEAK EFFORT!!
Should have buried that!
McTom mis-control and Rice and him have a clash
ObiWan the wrong side of Antonio inside the box... United survive
Decent start so far in the match...United need to be better going forward
United have weathered the early onslaught from the Hammers.
Lazy pass straight out of bounds by ObiWan
That is interesting.... West Ham's last three away games have been in Manchester.... OT, Et, OT
I still think Moyes should have been given more time at OT
He also blew it when he came in.... he didn't come in and say... show me how to win...you know how to.... he came in and said... do it my way....had won nowt
Too much bloody passing by united
Some one asked OGS why United don't come out and play like they did against City from the start
He said.... they aren't robots
WELL....they start all the games... apart from that one... like SLEEPING robots
Get the ball and player in the box!!
COME ON!!
I HATE DAMN PATIENCE CRAP
I agree - Moyes should have been given more of a chances. I liked him when he was at Everton. But I don't like what he's done at West Ham. They only ever score from set pieces. Tomas Soucek is their top goalscorer this season!
You can't know where they are in the table
Knock....not know
United get the ball....useless passing!!
EVERY GAME... WE ARE ASLEEP
United need a win to go back into second place... breathing down City's neck....only 14 points behind...with a game in hand mind you
United CONTINUE to give the ball away with no pressure
I do knock it - they're a mid-table side masquerading as a top six side. I don't want them representing English football in the Europa League. It would be a disgrace!
United sitting back....at Old Trafford
I am upset with Ollie how he has his teams play... very negative
He should know what is expected at Old Trafford and how you need to go out and try and win every game
ATTACK
Such a lazy pass there by Obi Wan... basics!!
GO FORWARD!!!!!!
Everything is sideways and backward
Have United had a shot yet...NO
My Beloved(United not Kathy) bores me 99% of the time!!
Still trying to be too cute!!!!
Great cross by Greenwood....USELESS by Rashford!!
United's passing is so lax..... WAKE UP
I agree with you - United should be attacking. West Ham aren't that good - we dominated them on their patch!
Maguire headed Antonio....wonder if he can continue with the concussion protocol
It was the arm not the head that hit him
Looks like he will come back on
Still going sideways and backwards....there has to be more good runs made!
United are clueless going forward
Greenwood has really dropped since last season
Useless corner
Decent move into the box... cross can't find anyone
Another corner cleared....I don't know the last time United actually scored from one!
England were so dangerous in the World Cup....why can't United be!!
