A BIG SUNDAY IN THE PREM
So a big a day in the Battle of the Drop has already started. Burnley being Burnley and sadly Spurs being Spursy. I was worried things would be flat in this early morning kick off. Of course, Bob wants a boat load of goals for Spurs and Steve wants a Burnley win. Coming up to half time, neither are pleased

Kane hits one wide...eh has to bury that!
Oooh... VAR is checking for a handball as half time whistle is about to blow
His arms are out like a bird... VAR taking a long time for it
I hate this crap...take a look... make a decision
Ref going to the monitor...most of the time that means a change of a decision...IT IS A PENALTY!!!
I get the credit...I start the blog.... Spurs get a pen!
Conte being Italian with his hand gestures to the Burnley bench
Come on Harry....the clock is at 52 so this will be last kick of the game
ONE NIL
Pope left standing
Burnley still complaining
Low to the left into the side net
Half time
The handball occurred before the Kane shot. They went back about 30 secs
Off we go for the second
Can Spurs continue to please Bob
Struth...Burnley go close with a header...KNOCK THAT OFF
I read today that Peter Reid want Leeds to survive. He thinks Everton would come straight back up but he's not sure about Leeds
Another free kick chance for Burnley
Spurs...WAKE UP!!
The stadium sounds very quiet.... fans....WAKE UP
Free kick floats in....header well over the bar
Burnley on top to start the half
Teams are bit testy to start this half
Morning, Dave, thanks for getting us going. We had a late night, so I decided to sleep in a bit. Glad to see Spurs in the lead but I don't like to see Burnley attacking here.
Kane has a shot blocked...the went another pen....NEVER
Welcome Bob
So far so good
Good morning Bob and Dave. I started watching midway through the first half. Burnley pulling nonsense this half
This is good news for Bob.
Kane hits one over the bar
Get a second one
Morning, David - yes, good news so far. I'd like to see another Spurs goal right about now.
Morning David
Dahlgren brothers are polar opposites today
Barnes with a great shot....off the post
Phew
OH! Off the post from Ashley Barnes
Oh - my heart! Ashley Barnes hits the post with a lovely drive.
I thought that Spurs goal would wake them up...it has woken up Burnley
Agreed, Dave. This puts Spurs fourth two points ahead of the Gunners
Spurs crossing today has been very Modern Day
I had a chat with Steve about this one - he understands. Arsenal just need to win their last three matches and they'll grab fourth.
This announcer has Burnley safe.So much for being neutral
Spurs always play like this - on the back foot even at home.
I don't see it that way. They could easily lose this one and their last two - away to Palace and at home to Newcastle. We just need to beat Brighton today and then they'll have to chase us.
Gunners away to the Toon tomorrow and at home to the Tofffes next Sunday. The match tomorrow at SJP will be tough
Son....great save by Pope
Bugger
Oh - great save by Pope from Sonaldo!
Nick Pope turns around a shot from Number One Son
My PPP hopes are the same as Bob's Leeds hopes
Better pressure from Spurs now - that's more like it.
Goal time...I am off to the loo
Sorry to say that I won't be able to watch the match from ER. Just the Hammers vs Citeh. A Citeh win all but ruins the quadruple
The Leeds side for today's match:
Meslier (GK), Firpo, Koch, Cooper (C), Raphinha, Llorente, Rodrigo, Harrison, Phillips, Gelhardt, Klich.
Substitutes: Klaesson (GK), Struijk, Bate, Hjelde, Cresswell, Greenwood, Shackleton, Kenneh, Gray.
Would about Ashley Barnes coming off. The Wee Beetle on for Matty Lowton against one of his former clubs. Kulesevski on for for Lucas as there will be no Moura his participation in this match
No worries, mate - I'll white knuckle it for you.
Nice reflex save by Nick Pope from Sonny
Cheers mate. I'll keep you updated on the match from the London Stadium
Ashley Barnes was pretty handy in first half stoppage time.
Aaron Lennon - he wouldn't, would he?
Mike Jackson feels more like Janet
Efan says this result will be a massive busy for LUFC. We'll stated
I'm back after the loo and errands
COME ON SPURS
Two to go
Nice defensive block by Harry Kane
Welcome back Dave. The loo must have been like watching Burnley
I've switched over to the Leeds match - some Leeds legends at ER. Come on!
Spurs go to Carrow Road in the last game of the season
Casino Royal replaced by Joe Road on. A Barber Shop Quartet of stoppage time minutes
4 added minutes
It will end as Leeds kick off
I will have the Leeds match on the Roku and hopefully the goal zone match on the computer if any
Chance for Burnley to get it into the box
Lloris collects
Useless delivery
Must win for the Gunners at SJP tomorrow
The Whites coming out at Elland Road - come on!
Sadly no Roku TV in the hotel. I can only watch Hammers vs Citeh
I'm hoping that Brighton are already on their summer holidays.
Stupid foul
Pope to kick the ball inside his own half
High line by Spurs
Kane kadoomphs it like the old days
Spurs fans hiding the ball
Had to get a new on
Blow up Ref
Still playing
Elland Road looking brilliant in the sunshine.
Over 30 secs added to the added time
That is it!!
Spurs win!!
Great result to Spurs and Leeds
COME ON...BEAT THE GULLS!
I'll be back in a bit... gotta go get coffee for Kathy and Doug
Great atmosphere - if the boys can't get amped for this one...
Wahay! Great result!
Brighton get us underway wearing their yellow and blue away kit - we're of course in our all white.
Oh - nearly there from the corner. We need a jammy one scrambled in just like that. Good start!
Joffy it was who had an effort blocked by his skipper!
We seem early into the challenges today, really up for it.
Joe Pete gives Hornets the lad vs the Foxes. Doesn't matter
That sounds encouraging from ER
Firpo in hard and could easily have picked up a card.
Straight out from the resulting free kick, fortunately.
I'm taking hope from our current league position just above Burnley now.
An injured linesman at the London Stadium. Stamped on by LA Porte but okay to continue
Phew! Meslier grabs that effort from McAllister.
Brighton starting to play a bit - I don't like it.
Phew! Solly March was in there but scuffed his shot wide. Somehow he was onside.
Firpo fouls again - he has to be careful now. Crowd getting a wee bit nervous.
I am back from the coffee run and a surprise breakie from Kath
I heard an interview with Meslier this week on the radio this week....he has a voice just a little bit higher than Barry White!!
Oh - Joffy with a half chance - well wide.
Oh - Harrison nearly played in Raph there.
I have just tuned in Goal Rush as Leicester tie it up at Vicarage Road
McAllister hits one from distance - Meslier gets behind it.
Yeah - I've heard him before - it's funny when players have voices you don't expect.
Leeds to win
Everton to lose
Burnley lost
Here's to a great day
Worrying signs every time that Brighton go forward - but fortunately we haven't conceded early this time.
That's my hope, too, mate.
Swindon beat Port Vale 2-1 in the semi in L2
Mansfield did the same to Northampton yesterday....can Northants turn it around after their exploits last week
Bugger, bugger, bugger!
Welly scores.
Bloody Hell.....Leeds should have done better there!
Llorente must do better there.
The Hammers have taken the lead!!
Not good for United but good for Pool
Bown with the goal
Ours back are up against it now.
Foxes now lead the Hornets
That would open the title race again.
GOAL!Jarred Bowen gives Hammers the lead. Nice long ball from the back, got behind the Citeh defense, rounded Ederson then scored
Come on, Rodrigo!
COME ON LEEDS!!
If it stays like this....a Burnley win would be curtains... depending on Everton today
Crowd not happy now.
Yeah - that's true. We need two goals now, that's it.
What on Earth could this mean at the top
If Liverpool win by six at St Marys...they would be favorites!
Not a good effort by Harrison
Harrison with a nice chance - but blasts over.
Joffy and Raph not on the same page at all.
Leeds don't look very confident right now
Danny Welbeck is down now with a head injury.
Not confident at all - we need a goal back by half time.
Couln't they find a better match of green to paint over the rugby lines
The Leeds legends look nervous.
Hammers now sixth, well ahead of United on goal difference. United now in a Conference League spot
I was just thinking the same thing.
Hey....at least Wolves can't catch us....joy
The Cock messing up the Goal Rush link.... goes to Pope interview...then black screen
They suck
Half an hour gone - come on!
Phillips buys a free kick there. Might be able to swing one into the area.
Somehow I don't see the Bees helping out today. Leeds need to do the business today
Oh - that header from McAllister just looped over.
I agree, David.
Phew....weak effort by Wellie....late flag anyway
Jesus goes just wide
We need a City goal....did I just say that!!
Phew! Trossard was nearly in - Koch tracked him back well.
Leeds really need to create more chances....seem very toothless
Great saving tackle there!
That would have been a pen and a red if he got it wrong
Norwich take the lead at Wolves
Bissouma gives up a free kick now. Another chance to swing one in.
Very scrambly but it emerges for Kal who shoots wide.
Raph wins a corner. We need this one to fly in!
Poor corner - must be better!
What an atrocious corner.... didn't get higher than the shin
Klich....great effort...saved
Why do keepers have to make great saves
Oh - training pitch routine to Klich who hit a nice one that Sanchez had to turn around.
And another. Better ball in this time. Come on!
Ruddy Norah...it's two nil Hammers!
Liverpool could win the damn league!!
Long ball headed on and a great finish from Bowen
Into two stoppage time minutes now.
Only two added minutes at ER
Players have been down a few times!
NO CONSISTENCY!
Could be the turning point for the title race.
Come on - one more chance!
The half-time whistle comes and we're 0-1 down in a match that we must win. Somehow we must find two goals in the second to rescue our season.
Sorry battles
If United lose a week from today....United will have either 0 or negative GD....stunning!
What did Pep say at half time.... will the league be lost today!!!
Second half underway from the London Stadium
I so wish I would want that but I can't have Pool get the Quad
Pep with no trophy? SACK HIM
Players coming out at ER
MOT!
We get the second half underway - come on!
No changes as of yet.
Grealish gets a goal back for City!
Gelhart....make a better decision there!!!
Oh - Raph had a chance there - last season that would have flown in.
Grealish with a rotten season....would be crazy if he scores a hat-trick to win the league
City almost score again
Some of my comments are getting deleted
Come on Leeds... a point is a must
Stupid challenge by Harrison !
Leicester now lead 3-1 at VR
Deleted?
When do head back East David?
Really? That sounds odd.
Bob...stop deleting things...can't take you anywhere
Corner to Leeds...get it above the kneee please
Raph's long throw wins us a corner. Come on!
Near post flick.... not very dangerous
Rubbish header from Firpo - just needed to flick it on.
We're leaving when this match ends
The front post corner works 1 out of 100
But Prem teams try it 99 times out of 100
How dangerous were England in the WC from the corner!!
Are you stopping somewhere?
Harrison with a shot...not a good effort
Pep being the intense actor on the sideline
Bugger! Jack flashes it well over the mark.
I think West Ham will pip United to the EL spot...we will lose at Selhurst Park
Another poooooor corner!!
Oh - nice attack there for once. Raph crossed it in with the inside of his left boot and Rodrigo nearly got onto it.
We're stopping at a store called Buckees for sandwiches and gasoline
Wolves tie it up vs Norwich
How long is the trip?
Another stupid foul by Leeds!
You know the player is going to go down!!
The free kick gets sliced out for a corner. Mark 'em up!
Half an hour left to rescue our league status.
Conference final day has started
Stockport on top, Wrexham second
Stockport leading
Wrexham drawing after 15 minutes
We're 1075 miles from home. Just a hop, skip, and a jump
Eddie Gray wants to get on the pitch and have a go.
I'm going to say it
IT'S LEEDS TIME
A mere Sunday afternoon drive!!
You know we're in trouble when a player of Raph's ability resorts to the long throw.
Cheers, mate - we need it!
Brighton players starting to waste time.
There is no need for Brighton to waste time... Just go out and play the game!!
You really don't like the long throw
No difference from a cross!!
Missed sitter by Antonio. Should have been 3-1
Antonio chips.... and misses!!
It was a back pass...he should have rounded Ederson
Or lay it across
Phew - Trossard could have killed us off there.
At least get a point Leeds....COME ON
Great home support from our fans - they're the best.
MOT!!!
Score one and then score another...simple
Joffy is hacked down and we have a free kick in a positive area.
Score one and then score another...simple
Another save...bugger
Oh - what a hit from Raph! Great save by Sanchez.
Where is someone on the end of that cross
Better
