Of course, I'll be hoping for a wee bit of help from our friends Palace and Spurs tonight as they take on two of the relegation threatened sides, Watford and Burnley.
Hi Bob
I am here. Already tuned in the match at Anfield on the computer and I have CBS on my telly
I want Leeds just to win it today and let Burnley get something off of Spurs

Hiya, boys - hope you're having a good Hump Day!
Wahay! The coverage starts on The Cock and it's straight to the away end with Leeds singing MOT!
Leeds in the tunnel
Love to see White vs Red...no need for changes
No goals at Turf Moor or Vicarage Road after a quarter of an hour
Thanks for posting the team news, mate - I couldn't find it on The Guardian site as I usually do.
We're underway from Anfield. Come on!
Leeds starting on the front foot
Fast start for us and we're nearly in.
The new boy Luis Diaz has a go from distance. Gathered up by Meslier.
I'd love to see Leeds win this...everyone is thinking it is a home banker
Good Afternoon, Bob and Dave. I almost didn't show up because I was at the lake enjoying the unusual 70 degree weather.
Diaz with a shot....blocked by Mane
As I was typing I heard that either Mane had a shot blocked by Andy Robertson or vice versa. Nearly a Pool lead
Oh - Dias was in there and his shot was going in but ricocheted off Mane and out fortunately.
COME ON LEEDS! MOT!
Welcome David
We had some warmer weather but is turning colder right now....12 inches of snow expected tomorrow
Very open match so far - there's going to be goals for sure tonight.
That sounds like a lovely day out. I appreciate your tearing yourself away from that, David.
Friday not tomorrow
Dan James caught Alison faffing about and nearly tackled him which would have gifted Leeds the lead
Allison playing the modern day footballer...such a shame it wasn't punished
Oh - Alisson made a hash of that and he nearly brought Dan James down. Big let off for Liverpool, who look a bit rattled.
MOT!
Two quick goals at VR
Eagles took the lead but Hornets tie it up
The Rams losing at home to the Lions
Shame - hoping that the Eagles can fly tonight.
Cheers, Bob and Dave. I was thinking about you two and no way I was going to miss out on the banter. We're going to cool down Friday night and have snow in the forecast Saturday night and Sunday morning
Forshaw looks really up for it tonight - he's a Scouser.
The Rams need some good results after the fourth from bottom Reading won their last two matches. They should really be in the drop zone
The REAL United coming out of the tunnel in Madrid
Mane wins a corner off Luke now. Mark 'em up!
Did you see that Darren Ferguson got the axe at the Posh
I like that Lindeloff still playing...he's been good recently
BUGGER! PENALTY POOL! STU DALLAS CALLED FOPR HAND BALL OFF A CROSS FROM ANDY ROBERTSON
Bloody Hell.... ref can't wait to give Leeds a penalty
Bloody hell - the ref's given a penalty! Totally unintentional.
His hands aren't out
The ball hit his hand behind his body!
So inconsistent...hate it
Big club gets it....Leeds wouldn't have gotten it if it VanDyke did it
one nil
GOAL ! SALAH GIVES POOL THE LEAD , PLACING IT IN THE CORNER , SENDING MESLIER THE WRONG WAY. Sorry, Bob.
Mo Salah takes and scores... bugger!
1-0 down in fifteen minutes.
Off we go
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
Sorry, Bob. That was really harsh on Leeds. Really unlucky
No one seems to be questioning it
They're off from Madrid.
COME ON MAN UNITED!
Just read about Young Fergie. Didn't know he was sacked, but thought it was coming. Second time being sacked by Posh?
Come on, United - let's get off to a good start in this fixture.
Gift of a corner conceded by Maguire....will it bite us...struth... almost
Great blocking tackle...so wide open!!
It was Lindeloff that blocked it
Where was everyone else!!
Firpo goes diving in on Fabinho and gets a yellow.
A Brazil tussle and Junior Firpo booked as he showed his frustration with that foul on Fabinhop that was anything but Fab
TAA takes and it sails over everyone. Phew!
Pool now only three points behind Citeh
So.... Post Sir Matt full time managers
1. McGuinnes
2. O'Farrell
3. Docherty
4. Sexton
5. Atkinson
6. SAF... the right one
Post Sir Alex
1. Moyes
2. LVG
3. Jose
4. OGS
5. Ralf
6. .... THE RIGHT ONE?
United are their worst own enemy
Bloody Hell... AM one up!
United defenders were standing still
Sorry, lads.
Of course...it was Maguire who was beaten
BUGGER! JOAO FELIZX HEADS AM INTO THE LEAD WITH HEADER OFF THE POST. THE SHORTEST PLAYER ON THE PITCH LEFT WIDE OPEN
Not a good start for either United
At least Leeds have attacked!
Oh - Diaz got through there and Meslier saved well at the near post.
Still can't believe CBS proper are showing these games
Have United had the ball in the box?
Go long once in a while!!
Another foul by Firpo now - Bielsa might have to take him off at half-time. I'd have Charlie Cresswell or Shackleton on for him.
Not sure how Maguire would leave a shrimp wide open. Poor by Maguire.
Thanks, Bob,. Plenty ion time for our Uniteds to come back
Half way through this first half and we're still in this one.
I don't even know if United haver got out of the their own half. At least Bob's United has attacked in the Pool box
Hoping for the best for you lot.
United STILL going backwards and sideways
We're giving it a go, for sure.
Not sure I like the no away goal rule
I don't think it should count in extra time thought
United are not being positive... there have been some passes on and we go the wrong way
Bugger.... ball in the net... flag up
KEEP ON SIDE
Fairly tame effort by Jones straight into Meslier's arms.
BUGGER! Raph tapped in at the far post, but it's disallowed for offside. Nice break
GOTTA BE SMARTER!!
We've got the ball in the net after a scintillating break but Raph was just a bit off. Flagged off. Shame. We could have used that one.
Palace retake the lead
United lose the ball in their own half so many times... MADNESS
Palace have taken a 1-2 lead at VR. Bob will be pleased, but Uncle Woy that his old mates have come back to haunt him
Exactly..... kick it long sometimes...don't put yourself in your own half
Another good save by Meslier from Robertson this time.
Breaking News....United have a shot... not big news...it didn't hit the target
Corner to United
Bugger... two nil Pool
BUGGER! MATIP PUTS POOL TWO UP
Bugger! Matip sensed that he had room to move into the box and scores.
2-0 Pool.
I can't stand all the acting from the Spanish
I don't like it when United do it too
Bruno with a shot blocked for a corner. United's first attack of the match
Really sorry, Bob
No blue head anywhere near that corner.... back to normal corners from United
Leeds are playing better than Man U
Rams two down
Matip played a one two with Salah and then beat Meslier as he got behind Struijch
Fulham lead the Posh .... header at the front post by Kate
QPR lead Bpool
Evil Lions two up at the Rams. Mitrovic with a spot kick gives the Cottagers the lead vs Posh
Mane almost in again....ref calls another penalty
PATHETIC!!
Bugger! Another penalty for Liverpool. VAR checking it.
It is so biased to the big uns.....NEVER A PEN
Mane caused the touch
Very soft in my opinion.
BLOODY HELL! ANOTHER PENALTY TO POOL AS VAR CHECKS FOR THE FOUL BY AYLING ON MANE
I just don't believe this crap....he isn't even asked to the screen
It is cheating
HOW is the a penalty? I agree with you two that it's really soft
It is so pathetic..Again...it was VD making the tackle... it wouldn't be a pen
BUGGER! SALAH SCORES FROM THE SPOT FROM THE SECOND TIME TONIGHT TO PUT POOL THREE UP. RIGHT IN THE UPPER 90
Mo Salah dispatches again. 3-0. This is going to get grim.
United..... GO FORWARD
QPR upo to third place and two points off an automatic promotion spot and they take the lead vs the Tangerines
Lvoely - we're still trying to play our stuff.
United are so slow going forward... so....they just go backwards... and lose the ball in their own half
Dusan Tadic gave Ajax the lead in Benfica
Rash tackled in the box...good tackle.... useless corner
Look at the top of the box.....NOT ONE BLUE SHIRT!
NOT ONE
In the CL match the goal has been the only shot on target of the entire match
Struth.... how was that number 4?
Oh - Fabinho should have scored a fourth there. We made a mess of that free kick.
Poor defending off the free kick from TAA and anything but Fab as the close range shot was well over
I can't stand watching my lot!!!
I am watching the computer more! Every time I look up....more losing of the ball and defending
Benfica has tied it up vs Ajax. Former Hammers striker Seb Haller with a howler as he scored an OG
I have Leeds on the computer an United on the telly. I've been watching the computer more too
What was that point there....Rashford gets a short pass and goes way back to Shaw.....what is the point!!
At least Watford are losing. I need a Spurs goal now too.
A pair of stoppage time minutes at Anfield
More hopelessness....
Then even worse!!!!
I am just stunned!
Now a foul!!
Varane with a couple of useless plays
Seb Haller has scored for both sides as he gives Ajax a 1-2 lead at Benfica
PHEW! Junior Firpo clears off the loin as Salah looked to have a first half hat-trick after chipping Meslier
Phew! Cleared off the line from Salah. Nearly his hat-trick.
Not much of a foul of course... but....everyone are wimps
So bad by Varane before....lucked out with a free kick.... then awful by De Gea and Varane again...and then the foul
Off the like from a Salah chip
Pool three up at the half as they were gifted two penalties that really weren't
What a pathetic dive off a 'tackle' by Ronaldo
Why doesn't VAR do anything with that
United are just clueless...what is going on?
Why am I surprised?
Another ball won at the halfway line.
Why wasn't that a card for the tackle on Ronaldo....no consistency
Again....United going backwards and sideways
United are so slow going forward...same old thing every game
The Two Robbies in the studio... Becky still resting from the Olympics...at least we dont' have the three numpties
Oblak saw an Oblique shot from CR 7 go about seven yards wide. Not sure if that's what Dave means by Lucky Seven
Geez... one of the Robbies said it should have been a red card on Ayling.....I don't know this game any more
I don't want to listen to Carragher at half time about this crap
He's probably not even watching the match...he's watching the Liverpool game
The other Robbie....if you defend like that.... it was TWO dubious penalties!!!
I try not to listen to the halftime show anymore. It's too frustrating
Here United going agains.... backwards, sideways...give the ball away
IT IS STUNNING!
The goal by Matt was poor defending . Pascal went on Struijch as Matip played the one two with Salah
Liverpool now have a better goal difference than City
47 to 46
Sorry. goal by Matip.
Goal difference may come into play in the Prem race. That game in April will be really crucial
If it stays even at TM, Spurs will be six points behind United with 2 games in hand....10 goals behind
Ronaldo is doing a lot of complaining...he is complaining there is only one guy in the box
United need a Wolves win or draw at least tomorrow
Not sure if I will be around for Gunners vs Wolves. We're supposed to have one more 70 degree day before the cooler weather arrives
Struth....how did that no go in
United ASLEEP on a free kick
Where did the United players' brains go?
I thought Ralf ball meant only forward passes. That's what he said. Seems just like Olly ball
No matter what United do in the second half..I have no confidence for the home leg
This is going to be a tough March!!
Is it possible for a side to play reasonably well and still be 3-0 down at half-time? Leeds are trying to prove it today.
A minute of stoppage time in Madrid
Fred with a pointless chip in the box....straight to a Madrid man
Stunningly bad.... boy I wish I had to pick up Kath
They are Bob. Oliver Twist gifted Leeds two penalties and Pascal went on Struijch for the other goal
AM one up at the half as the second half is underway from Anfield
Two changes by Leeds
I had a feeling that Jamie Shacktleton might be coming on - presumably for Firpo.
Why doesn't Gelhart get more game time...he is so dangerous
Bielsa made a double substitution. Tyler Roberts for Rodrigo and Shackleton Kliched on
Roberts and Shackleton on for Rodrigo and Klich
Tyler Roberts has also come on but I'm not sure who gave way. Actually I've just worked it out that it's Rodrigo.
Raph has to do better there!!
OH! Nice last ditch slide tackle by Van Dyjck on Raph off a nice through ball from Dallas. Stu not Texas
Oh - Raph nearly in there. I thought he might have given it a poke.
We seem to be dropping a bit deeper in this second half.
I need a Leeds goal..I am playing against Allison...can't have him have a clean sheet
Liverpool break from our attacking foray and Mane hits one well wide.
Bob will be pleased at that Sad Sadio shot that was where closeto being on the Mane. A long shot at best
Burnley take the lead vs Spurs
We're still giving it a go.
BUGGER! Ben Mee gives Burnley the lead vs the Spuds. Bob didn't want Mee or he to score.
What?! Oh - that is not good at all.
Leeds faithful letting themselves be heard now, bless 'em.
I need a couple of quick goals from Kane.
Burnley now a pair of points from safety behind the Toon and Toffees and with a better goal difference than both teams
Bottom of the table looks like this as I type
14 Brentford 24 points 26 games
15 Leeds 23 25
16 Everton 22 23
17 Newcastle 22 24
18 Burnley 20 23
19 Watford 18 18
20 Norwich 17 25
Burnley had one win going into the weekend... they are on their way to tripling the wins
Ok Carra....just shut up
Salah does his usual jink inside and curls one that Meslier plucks out of the air.
Evil Cardiff takes a surprise lead at the Terriers. Luton takes the lead at the Potters
Second half...same as the first!!
Trying to play out of the back... Fred kicks it straight out of play
That puts a lot of pressure on us. We need a Spurs win today.
James off for Gelhardt
Final roll of the dice from Bielsa as Joe Gelhardt on for Dan James
Wahay! Joffy coming on to replace Dan James. He's a native Scouser - so he'll want to impress.
Was anything said at half time.... it is seems even worse!
Phew! Mo blows one over the top.
How many touches have United had in the box?
Luton up to eighth place a point outside the playoffs
Bob added to Kate's near post header with one off his bum...two nil at The Cottage
Cottagers two up vs Posh. So much for sacking Young Fergie
What was that from Raph?!
