The Managerial Merry-go-round Rolls On!
At the same time, Everton take on Spurs in a mid-table clash. And later on Liverpool host West Ham. Join me at the top of the hour.

Morning Bob
Everyone is sacking everyone....so stupid.... of course....United are stupid for NOT sacking OGS
I have 50 million windows open on my laptop!!
I have LOB, the Leeds match, Goal Rush(Goodison) and a crossword!!
I just want the Goal Rush open for the goals
Morning, Dave - great to have you on board this morning. Happy Fall Back!
The Leeds line-up for this morning's match:
Meslier, Llorente, Coop, Struijk, Dallas, Shackleton, Phillips, Harrison, Raph, James, Rodrigo.
Nice tribute to Walter Smith
The bugler at Elland Road not as good as some of the others I've heard. Yikes!
I am so sore.... raked up leaves and mowed both lawns after the rotten derby
The bugler at Goodison was really good
Is Kane going to wake up....if Sgate picked on form....he wouldn't make the third team!!
I've got the Everton v. Spurs match on the box and the Leeds match on The Cock.
Oh dear - we nearly gift Vardy an early chance. Dangerous ball back from Dallas.
End to end stuff right from the off.
Rodrigo with his first strike on goal; scuffed it and Kasper collected.
The Cock coverage is over 20 seconds behind the TV...why does everything have to be delayed!!!
Every time I open a Cock page it never loads first time around. I always have to reopen the link at least once
Do you have the same problem?
Now Barnes tries to curl one - my heart is going a thousands beat a second.
Yeah - I have the same problem - often the Leeds United blog is ahead. I try not to follow it.
I was listening to the radio today and they were saying that Leeds are more defensive this season....I think that's why they are in worse form. They have started playing more like they "are supposed to"....I think it is a mistake
ooooh.... Harrison with a shot that could have been deflected over the Kasper's head....saved
Oh - Jack has a go and it's deflected up over Kasper but he just about claws it away. First corner for us - come on!
Leeds want a pen...ref points the other way
He did nothing wrong!!!
Oh - Kal nearly gets in from the corner.
And then Raph goes down in the box.
Arsenal take an early lead.... maybe to be VAred
That looked like a pen to me!
It is being checked for offside
Lovely! We need some more goals for the Gunners.
Saka's goal has been chalked off
I read somewhere that NBC's contract is up after this season.... there are others that are bidding along with them....Paramount+, Disney, Amazon
I fear we are going to have to steam all the time!!
Paramount's CL coverage is so bad....especially the studio!
I don't want a Gunners goal... a win would take them above United
I like that we've got more of a variety of attacking today, not just down the right through Raph.
Phew...Vardy offside
He wants a foul. I think that Vardy is saying it was a backless
VAR is checking...play on
I think Leeds were fortunate there
I lost my feed for a moment and it seems like we've gotten a break from the ref as I come back; Jamie Vardy not happy about something.
When is his Lordship getting back...he's been out the entire stretch between international breaks
He was fouled at the edge of the box...could have been in.
He was called offside....which he was BUT he wasn't because it looked like a back pass
VAR checked and said no obvious mistake
I'm hoping he'll be back for the Spurs match at Shite Fart after the break.
Oooh...Leeds almost in!
Kasper cuts out the low cross
No one has any time on the ball in this match - it's going a million miles an our.
Jack wins us another corner now. Come on!
Did I tell you that I have started tutoring on-line thru Syosset Home Tutoring in Long Island. There are a lot of schools that go thru them.
I had only a few sessions for October but November has started well
I was offered a job for this girl for 2 times a week for the entire month of November
I met her twice on Friday for the first week and then it will be for an hour each on Mon/Wed
Not even sure what I will be paid but it will help
Oh - Lookman nearly in there.
And then we run it up the pitch and win another corner.
That sounds really good. Is it working with kids who are temporarily out of class because of illness or just kids who need extra tutoring.
Nice move by Leeds....Shoot it!!!
Why did Rodrigo pass that!!!
Kids that are out of school
Halfway through the first half and I'm quite happy with proceedings. We've created some chances. However, you know Leicester - they're capable of striking in an instant and we're definitely playing their sort of match.
The hours should be during school hours and if the school is closed than we dong' meet
Raph wins us a free kick in a decent position on the right.
YESSSSSS!!!!!!!
Raph!
Boom boom boom boom - Raphinha's in the room!
His fifth of the season - he's too hot to handle right now.
YES!!!!
Great free kick and Raph gives Leeds the win.... what a plonker to take his shirt off and gets a yellow
I just don't get it
Yellow card for Raph as he took his shirt off - silly.
Ruddy Norah...... 1-1
RIGHT AWAY!
Nice goal by Barnes
Bugger! Barnes has snuck in and equalized almost immediately.
1-1
Great strike from Harvey, but he shouldn't have had the chance.
So, we're back on level terms again. Let's build it up.
Crikey - it's been ten years since Kasper played at Leeds!
Sorry mate...it all happened as I was getting Shadow's breakfast
Jack wins us another corner - come on!
Dallas with a poor effort of a cross...don't they practice!!!
Oh - nearly in there.
Kane breaks for Spurs....he looks slow....useless pass
Now Jack has won us a free kick out wide left. This one needs to go in!
I wonder what's going on with Kane. He's had enough time to get over the disappointment this summer.
Arsenal miss penalty!
Not a lot going on in the Everton v. Spurs match.
Gooner won't be happy about that!
Dallas catches Barnes and he's down needing treatment.
Oh - James found Raph in the box and he tried to tee up Rodrigo. Not quite on the same wavelength.
Goodison sounds like the Liverpool Library!!
Phew....Tielmanns fluffs his lines!
Phew! Tielemans was through there but he blasted well over. That was a chance.
Into stoppage time - that's gone by in a hurry.
Nice cross by Kane...Reglion misses the chance at the back post
Half time at Goodison
Everton and Spurs are goalless at half-time.
Half-time: I'm quite pleased by the way that we've been playing. We've been on the front foot and have created plenty of chances. Should be in the lead but for that wonderstrike by Harvey Barnes. 1-1.
The teams are back out for the second half. MOT!
I am back after some lovely French Toast
Foxes coming out of the tunnel
Early slip there by Meslier from a backpass by Coop. No need for that.
Struth... KNOCK IT OFF AT THE BACK!!
And now he's flapped at the corner and Tielemans fizzes one just wide. Wake up!
That's better - James finds his way through but just can't pick out Rodrigo, but that was more promising.
James blows a cross!
Jack's cross earns us another corner - he's been better today.
His cross has to be better, no?
How did that not go in!!!!!!
Oh - how did that not go in! Kal Phillips again got to the ball and nodded on and Jack popped it over off the thigh!
Struth...thighs it over the bar!!
Now Dallas storms down the wing and pulls one back - it's cleared out for another corner. We've looked good from these.
Oh - James had a snapshot and fired over after some more good work from Jack.
Another cross blocked by the first man and then James shoots over
Leeds win the ball back in the midfield....they blow the attack
Grr
This one reminds me of the West Ham match, which we dominated for long stretches but allowed them to pinch in stoppage time. I hope that doesn't happen again.
Was a foul called? It should have been called...it wasn't
Even with a draw, Arsenal have overtaken United
Rodrigo scored from distance last weekend and he had another go there. Kasper right behind it.
Good morning, Bob and Dave. Just saw that it's 1-1 at ER.I'm sure Bob would take that score at the final whistle
Sorry, I need Arsenal to finish Watford off.
Morning, David - great to hear from you. How are things on San Marco Island?
Morning David
I would indeed take a draw out of this one but, if anything, we've edged this one.
Doesn't really matter...United going no where this season....well apart from down the table
Tielemans concedes another corner. If we've got him tracking back, that's a good thing.
Your lot should be ahead
Oh - James with a curling effort that just needed a touch.
That was a poor delivery from that corner but it ping pongs around...then James takes a cross/shot...just wide
Will you be around for the Hammers and Reds?
I agree - but we just need to avoid losing this one.
Oh - great ball over from Dallas now and Rodrigo just didn't get the volley right. I would have luvved to see that one fly in!
oooh....Rodrigo with a volley at the back post into the side netting
Decent cross there!!
Arsenal have taken the lead!
Smith Row with the Gunners goal
I'll be in and out for that one. It's a beautiful day here in WNY, so it might be the last chance for some winter prep. I still need to put away some of the deck furniture and deal with the hose boxes in the yard.
Lovely - that's just what we needed. Watford are now a point below us in the table.
Same here
I will probably have it on but not be near my computer much
We'll just end it at this window of matches
Do something Harrison!!! Very poor
Penalty to the Toffees
Yeah - that makes sense.
I'm sure VAR will check
He did take him down...did he touch it...does it matter?
VAR check for a penalty - Lloris on Richarlison.
Ref is going to the screen
Ref going to have a look - that usually means a pen.
I hate this split hair crap at slow motion... I really dislike all this crap
No pen
Vardy....almost in
Phew!!
Oh - Lookman with a dangerous ball in there. Vardy just didn't get on to it. Coop deflected it out for a corner. Mark 'em up!
I think it should be a pen!!
Hard to believe the Gunners ate up to fifth place but they have been in great form
Lots of Leicester players warming up now.
Harrison hasn't been on today in my book
I think Arsenal could very well get into the top four
Leeds now 15th. Will be 14th, overtaking the Bees if they defeat the Foxes.
Jack with a looping cross that Rodrigo nearly got onto. Jack's been better today.
The Goodison faithful are up for this now
Kal needs to be careful now - he's had a few fouls now and could be close to a card.
Now Everton want a pen for a handball
Richarlson is down...of course...he's faking
Never a handball
The Gunners goal difference is nine worse than the Hammers. So probably not top four until after the break.
I called it... Richie is up and fine!
And booked.
What an acting job there!!
That is where VAR should be involved!!
Another corner for Leicester now -
and Lookman touches it in! Grrr!!!!!
Bloody hell
Sorry mate
Things going well in San Marcos, thank you for asking. Nice weather. Went out for steak dinner after the football game and a rare win for the Texas State Bobcats in the homecoming game
It's our weakness at set pieces that does us in again.
Sorry, Bob.
COME ON DESMOND!
VAR check - could be disallowed. Yes!
VAR checking for offside...NO GOAL!!
Wayhay!!!
Now then - let's not be complacent!
Didn't look offside to me
That type offside is so stupid in my book
No unfair advantage was taken there
They show a shot of the offside
Not sure when they paused it...didn't look like it was when the header was touched
I'll say it again - a draw suits me in this one.
I hate the offside rule of a guy isn't offside if it wasn't passed to him
When are teams going to have their center forward(if they have one) just stand at the top of the box and have the ball go wide to man and then gets a cross in
Leeds will win...they need to zoom away from the bottom three
Harrison....poor again
I'd have Dan James off about now and perhaps Klich or Tyler on.
Congrats for the Bobcats win.....and especially a STEAK!!
I would bring on your blond youngster
Ah - Raph sped through but his ball through to James was just a bit too heavy.
He won you a point vs Wolves?
I have him on my bench because of that performance
James with a weak effort with his left peg - get the hook!
Phew! Coop with a moment of madness but Meslier bailed him out. That's what makes me nervous.
Phew....Leeds playing stupid modern day crap at the top of their box
Phew
Arsenal get the ball in the net again...flag up
I'm not sure he's on the bench today. Otherwise, I'd have Joe Gelhardt on for sure.
Maybe Conte will want to leave Spurs already !
Yeah - Gelhardt isn't on the bench. I suspect either Roberts or Klich or maybe young Crysencio Summerville on for James.
He's not.... why the hell not
He makes a difference when he comes on
Tielmans off with an injury
Oh Dan! Come on!
James..... useless effort!!!
Your'e the one that said you have him at ER
Well, he came off at half-time in the U-23 match in mid-week, so maybe he has a knock.
Gray knocks one just wide for Everton
PHEW! Great that the goal was disallowed 🚫. BLOW UP REF!
Yeah - I still think that Dan has a future at the club but he's really out of form right now.
Mark 'em up, now!
Phew! Fortunately, the chance fell to the defender Soyuncu who whiffed on it.
Phew...Leeds survive
We look nervous and tight right now - we've conceded several times in this position.
Yeah - it's Tyler to come on, probably for James.
Here comes Roberts
Ten to go
It is Leeds Time
Thanks, Dave. It was also our first time seeing a Bobcats win live. By their standards that is a streak.
Spurs need a winner and Conte takes off Sonaldo....don't get it
Steve must want the final whistle too
We Conte on him being defensive
Less than ten minutes to see this one out. Jack off instead.
Harrison making way
I need an Everton goal for fantasy purposes
We've got Leicester pinned back in their half, but they do like to break quickly.
I'm happy with the way that the scores are right now.
Le Celso hits the post...inside of the post
Maybe not inside but almost inside
That's probably Kal's last foul before a card. Hang in there.
Phew! We muck about with it at the back and give Leicester another chance.
Follow through by Holgate and gets a yellow and VAR checking for a Red
I think it will be a red
Ref looking at the screen in the Everton match for a possible red card.
It is a red card for Holgate - Everton down to ten men!
It is a red card
Some of these decisions are stupid
No intent there at all
Why didn't Rodrigo shoot there!!!
Corner
Big shout for a handball - I didn't think so.
Rodrigo wins a corner - this one needs to fly in!
Leeds want VAR to check for a handball
The youngster Charlie Cresswell comes on for Adam Forshaw now.
