A Busy Tuesday

 

Afternoon, chaps! It's a busy Tuesday afternoon of footer action today. Uppermost in my mind is a Premier League clash between Burnley and Leicester, where of course I'll be hoping for a big win for the Foxes on the road at Turf Moor. I'll have that on in the background on Peacock.

Along with that, we've got some FA Cup 5th Round action on ESPN+, including Posh v. City, Palace v. Stoke and Boro v. Spurs. 

I'll be attending to a webinar in the midst of it but I thought I'd get us started with a thread. Join in if you've got the time.

Good Afternoon, Bob. Thanks for getting us started. Spring is in the air in our area, so I will be in and out. Trying to take advantage of the lovely weather we will be having the entire week.

COME ON YOU FOXES! Here to support Leeds as the Foxes look set to finish mid table. How do you feel about there start of a Marschy era?

Kate and I just finished setting up a crock pot stew for later and I'm settling in for the beginning of the match on The Cock.

Come on, you Foxes, indeed - we need the Clarets to suffer a big loss today.

Good start from the Foxes - I'm heartened by that. Rearguard action from the Clarets so far.

By kicking off, Burnley have leapfrogged over Everton into 17th, only a point behind Leeds now and with a match in hand. Really important for Leicester to win this one tonight.

Still no goals this evening in the Premier League and the Cup.

Coming up on half-time at Turf Moor and it's still at 0-0. I'm really disappointed that Burnley might get a result tonight.

Citeh two up at Posh late on. Sounds like Citeh is showing Posh some mercy this evening.

3:56 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Citeh won 0-2 at Posh with both goals scored seven minutes apart in the second half. Doesn't sound as straightforward as many predicted

I have been using FOTMOB. Sounds like another ET Cup Tie for the Teesiders.

Vardy and Madison came on as subs in the 72nd minute!

Vardy sets up Maddison in the 83rd
Vardy scores in the 90th!

Quite a good bit of work by Rodgers!

FT at TM

Congrats Bob

Bob will not be pleased that Wednesday up to fifth in L1 on a Tuesday, thrashing Richard Burton 5-2.The Foxes win at Turf Moor is more important.

4:40 PM

Agreed. Congratulations, Bob

Congratulations Dave. Pompey defeat Oxford 3-2.

It's 0-0 at the end of regulation at the Riverside. Another half hour to decide this tie plus possibly a penalty shootout.

Teesiders one up vs a full strength Spuds side with just a few minutes of ET remaining

5:21 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It's over at the Riverside and an upset as the Teesiders have defeated a full strength Spuds side AET and are surprisingly in the quarters. That guarantees at least two Championship sides in the quarters.

I'm thrilled by that late win by Leicester - the Foxes really did a solid today. Over and out for today!

Cheerio!
