Good morning Bob. Up to join you. Will try to get there Cock on the phone. Seagulls vs Tofffes on USA.
Morning, David - thanks for being here for me.
Morning Boys
I have the USA match from Goodison on the Telly and the Leeds match on the computer.
Not sure if I care about Goodison
I should put the Leeds match on my Roku
The teams out on the pitch at Elland Road:
Leeds: Meslier, Ayling, Koch, Llorente, Firpo, Forshaw, Dallas, Klich, Raphinha, Roberts, Harrison.
Subs: Klaesson, James, Bate, Gelhardt, Hjelde, Summerville, Greenwood, Jenkins, Moore.
Burnley: Hennessey, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor, Lennon, Gudmundsson, Westwood, Cork, McNeil, Wood.

Woman on the mic starts off with the line.... "a 1-1 Victory"
Not a great start!!
Off at ER
Come on Leeds
COME ON LEEDS!MOT!
Morning, Dave - I'm having some technical trouble with my ancient laptop this morning. Hoping the boys won't have any such problems.
GOAL Seagulls!!
That didn't take long
Wahay! Brighton have taken an early lead at Everton! That's good for us.
GOAL!ALEXIS MCALLISTER GIVES THE SEAGULLS THE LEAD
Free kick punched out by Meslier
VAR checking for offside
Again...no advantage was there....let it go!
Just imagine how many goals of our youth would have been gone
Goal counts
Good morning, Dave.
Time for a new laptop....it is worth the purchase!
How about Lukaku dropped from the squad for today's match after his interview with Italian TV saying he wish he never left Inter. Not happy with his role at Chelsea
Well worked Seagulls goal. Long possession culminating in a pass wide right to Veltman and somehow Maupay was allowed to head down his cross and McAllister easily scored from close range
United kick off at 12:30 tomorrow!
I haven't like United's schedule during the festive period
They have always played a day or two after they should have!
Burnley pressuring Leeds....Leeds losing the ball in the wrong spots!
Corner to Burnley.... a gift by Harrison's header back to the keeper
Short corner and then a useless cross...mindless!
Then Leeds give it away again!!
Leeds need to wake up!!
Interesting news from Chelsea. They're in a miserable run of form. Tommy doesn't Tuchel everyone's fancy
Seagulls up to eighth place
Klopp has Covid and won't be at the Bridge today
Roberts in the book
Massive technical problems this morning!
Leeds don't seem to want to attack like they did last season
Tepid
You haven't missed much
Do you have Roku? Watch the match on Roku
I'm finally on to the match. MOT!
We just got an updated Roku over the holidays but it's all packed up in our bag. I'll set it up later today.
Villa takes the lead at the Bees
Ah - shame that that chance fell to Forshaw - we're really missing the creativity of Jack Harrison.
Useless cross followed by a useless corner!!
PROFESSIONALS!
Oh - Stu Dallas did really well there to cut inside and whip a shot at goal. Better from us.
It's great to watch the COCK and Britbox on(I got another year of it for Xmas)
Another attack comes to nothing as Matty Klich crosses to no one. He's been getting a lot of stick from Leeds fans recently.
Danny Ings with the goal
That Villa lead is good for us as well.
Oh - outrageous effort from Raph there - nearly went in!
Close by Raph
Villa up to 11th place behind the Foxes and Wolves on goal difference.
Congratulations, Raph, who got engaged over the holidays. Well in, mate!
Raining cats and dogs on Merseyside
Two nil Gulls
Bossouma with a shot deflected just over for a corner
Oh - how did that not go in?!
This is better Leeds!!
Pinball stuff in the box...poke it in!!
GOAL!Tofffes Burned off the corner because Dan scored with a close far pist header that was headed to him by Mwepo
Poor corner AGAIN...gets another one
Better corner...beat the first man!
Seagulls now two up
All Leeds pressure now.
VAR checking for a possible penalty. Should not be. Would be very soft. Ref going to the monitor
Everton want a pen...VAR looking at it
It is so inconsistent ...slightest touches have been given and then not!
Ref looking at the screen....that means it will be a pen!
It is a waste of time to go to the screen....the decision is ALWAYS changed....it has again
Pen to the Toffees
DCL to take....hits it over the bar!
Useless effort
Hit the damn rectangle!!
PENALTY Toffee. Mwepu called for a push on Anthony Flash Gordon.
YIKES! PENALTY from DCL over the bar. Seagulls still two up
I like how we're dominating the midfield. We need to take advantage of it.
Not going Everton's way this morning. Suits me.
Now the Seagulls have a corner Seagulls keep possession
I heard the commentator say while Roberts was being booked that Leeds next two matches are against West Ham...Cup and League
Same for United....next two games(after Wolves) Aston Villa in the Cup and League
A bit of a panicky moment for Robin Koch there. Gives away a corner.
It is amazing how many times FA Cup games are drawn with teams playing each other in the Cup and League
Nice break forward nearly gets us in but Tyler wins a corner. Game is really stretched.
Leeds have a break...they blew the chance with poor passing
That's true - not keen on either of those matches against the Hammers. They're in good form.
So are Villa
Bloody Claret and Blues
All three Prem matches resulted in away wins yesterday. Today the away team leading in two matches and 0-0 at ER
Forshaw with a rash one - could have easily been a card.
Phew
Oh - Tyler must score from that!
The Roberts.....has to score!!!
Awful header!
This one's no good for my heart.
Two pick chances! One at each end right after each other!
We desperately need Lord Bamford back.
Breakaway through Tyler again now but he picked the wrong ball.
Roberts....what kind of ball was that!
These guys have to make better decisions!!!
In the Championship Bristol City vs Evil Lions Desmond while QPR one up at St.Andrews as is Cardiff surprisingly
Obstruction there from Charlie Taylor - it's never called any more.
Pickford does well to turn around a deflected shot from Lallana then the Seagulls win another corner
YES!!
Harrison gives Leeds the lead
YESSSSS!!!!!!!!
Jack Harrison squeezes one in at the second time of offering!
1-0!
Sorry. Cardiff one up at the Hawthorns
WAY HAY! Congratulations, Bob
It's Jack's first goal in the Premier League this season but third goal of the season - he had two in the Carabao earlier in the season.
All of the scores are going our way so far. This is a crucial day.
Leeds needs another seven goals to overtake the Tofffes as things stand
I'll take the half-time whistle right about now.
Maybe the Seagulls can help us out a bit.
Agreed, Bob. Tomorrow is key for the Two Daves
Another mistake by the Burnley midfield and we squander the chance but earn a corner. Come on!
Bee's tie it up vs villa
Yes, indeed, mate - I hope you give Wolves a right thumping.
Wishing with the goal for the Bees
Oh - nice stuff between Tyler and Firpo but Ben Mee stuck out a leg.
Oh - Tyler was in again but put his shot straight at Hennessey.
Just over by Maupay. Seagulls nearly three up
And another one squandered by Tyler!
We should be two or three up by now. I hope we don't rue these misses.
An LOB BLOGGING trio of stoppage time minutes
Phew! Chris Wood in there and nearly made us pay.
The Leeds duo is worrying me. They're really up for it.
Wahay! The half-time whistle goes and we go in 1-0 up through that Jack Harrison strike. That suits me - although I would have loved to have been 2-0 or 3-0 up with some breathing space. Chris Wood worries me.
Well done Would love Leeds to extend the lead in the second half.
Burnley's top scorer Maxwell Cornet is coming on for the second half. No changes from Bielsa.
Burnley get us underway in the second half.
Second half underway from Goodison Park
Back underway for the second half
Come on Leeds
This is a huge 45 minutes for us. If we can hang on for a win, we can breathe easy for the next couple of weeks.
Surprisingly no changes from Raffa.
In LA Liga Getafe surprisingly defeated Real 1-0.
I heard on the radio on my trip to the store that Everton's penalty was their 23rd miss in the Prem Era....second most of any team behind Arsenal
They have stats for everything
We haven't come out firing on all cylinders. Come on!
1-1 at Brentford....two shots on target...two goals
Teams do know that shooting scores goals?
Bristol City has defeated the Evil Lions 3-2 thanks to a Hat-trick from Weimann
I really though Rafa would have done better at Goodison this season
There were a lot of fans that didn't want him...I thought he'd change their mind
Baggies tie it up vs Cardiff
Oh Tyler - he's driving me crazy today. Another miss.
Goal Toffees
Game on
Roberts with a chance...slips!
Poor pass too
Llorente catches Cornet and picks up a yellow. A dangerous spot here.
Now a free kick to Burnley
Leeds have two players suspended for the next match for a yellow
Be smarter!
GOAL! Tofffes pull one back.Local las, Anthony Flash Gordon with his first Tofffes goal that took a deflection off Lalana
Struth....straight in
Bugger
Bugger! Cornet whips one around the wall and into the net. 1-1.
Everton want another pen...handbags in the box
Ref is asking for the corner to be delayed
Not much of a touch there
The guy went down like he was shot
Oh dear - something's been thrown from the stands and has hit a Burnley player. Not good.
Not good by Leeds fan...throws a plastic bottle at the players..GROW UP
Everton really pushing for a second
Come on, boys - let's get it back. We've had enough chances.
From the replay, the wall wasn't set right for a left-footer.
Blackburn are nil nil at half time at Ewood against Huddersfield. I can't believe how high they are
Even with a draw they would go second!!
Their top goalscorer is on fire and there is talk of selling him!
WHY?
Sell him and get a few million...keep him and you get mega millions in the Prem
Tyler seems to have a problem. Joffey is warming up.
We'll need some heroics from him again today.
Roberts has to go off with calf injury
Super Sub comes on...why not start him! He is so dangerous
Free kick cleared
Lees still putting on some pressure
Oscars are up for grabs at Goodison
So much acting going on!
Looks like Dan James is going to come on as well, probably for Jack.
Oh - Matty Klich was nearly in there.
Burnley's Route 1 tactics are giving us fits.
It is Dan James on for Jack Harrison.
Oh - Dan James nearly found Joffey in the middle.
Phew! That was close from the corner.
Oh - Joffey was nearly away there but tripped over the ball.
Raph wins a corner there. Come on!
Today at the Bridge, for the first time in 28 years, some fans will be standing for the match
Safe standing has been installed at SB and OT and few other teams
Oh - Stu Dallas was nearly onto that ball through from Firpo.
Dallas almost in....just couldn't reach it
Surely Joffy was fouled there as Raph played him through.
WOW! Never expected fans standing for Prem matches
Brighton get their two goal lead back
It was a great saving tackle by Holgate but his teammate just passes it right to a Gull and they score
Brighton have scored a third against Everton, so that's about settled.
Safely designed. I think there is a seat there if they want to sit...everything is just higher
GOAL!1-3 SEAGULLS AGAIMST THE RUN OF PLAY.MCALLISTER AT THE DOUBLE
Oh - nearly there for us. Great ball through from Firpo to James. The cross nearly found Joffy and then Raph should have scored.
GEEZ
Great cross by James...one guy misses and Raph hits the side netting
That has to be buried
Nice finish in the upper 90 off a pass from Trossard and Nice dummy from Mwepu
Jack Cork goes into the book for dissent.
Klich dives and wins a free kick
Never a foul
Bobby Chompers, Allison, and Matip not available today due to COVID
Joffy seems to have the wrong studs on.
Blimey - Everton have scored again!
Toffees get another goal back
2-3
Will Brighton, the Draw Kings, do it again!
They have drawn half of their games
United's match at OT vs Brighton was postponed...I think they would have won at OT the way United are playing
GOAL!2-3 Anthony Flash Gordon at the double for the Tofffes
Better pressure from and Matty Klich's cross earns a corner. This one needs to fly in!
Raph tries to bend one
Doesn't have his shooting boots on
A striker for a right back as Runned on for Jonjo Kenny
GOAL!!
DALLAS FIRES IN A ROCKET!!
All comes from a BLOODY short corner
YESSSS!!!!!
Stu Dallas fires home a crucial goal!
Keeper never moved!
Now then - we need to hang on for all three points!
Congrats Mate
Under 15 to go...come on Leeds....add to your lead
Sean Dyche throws Jay Rodriguez on for Leeds old boy Aaron Lennon.
Leeds would be 8 clear of Burnley(2 games in hand) and 6 clear of Watford(1 game in hand)
Just a bit over ten minutes to see this one out.
Leeds should not sit back and invite pressure tho
Right, Dave - we need to keep the pressure up and score a third. That's the Bielsa way.
Geez...now talking about the ball not stopping for the short corner....that is so ridiculous!
Made no difference whatsoever.....they just want to make up controversy
Leeds aren't attacking their favorite end, right?
Burnley turned United around at Old Trafford too
Damn! Forshaw gives up a bad free kick. Now let's build the wall a bit better this time. Come on!
Donny Trump three up at Morecambe and None too Wise in a L1 relegation six pointer
Another free kick chance for the visitors
Chipped in...cleared
Fortunately, it comes to nothing.
One more change for Burnley - Matty Vydra on for Chris Wood.
Am I right about the end, Bob?
Leeds on track to become the first team to win a Prem home match this weekend
Brentford take the lead vs Villa
Brentford are safe
You could say THIS YEAR David!
Bee's take a 2-1 lead vs Villa
I'm on pins and needles.
Am I right about the end?
Raph trots off for some treatment.
Nice one Dave. Bee's set to join Leeds
If I am...that is one of Burnley's tactics....win the toss and turn the teams around
Right, Dave - toward the left is the Kop End.
VAR check now for offside there or a pen.
So Burnley did it to both of us... and hopefully... losing to both of us
I'd prefer Watford to go down than Burnley
Mads Roerslev making Steve G feel that way as he scored the Bees goal
Stu wins a corner and they'll take their time with it.
I'd love both teams to go down.I picked both
