Come on in!
After a weekend of FA Cup action there are 4 Premier League fixtures this afternoon, including Liverpool at Wolverhampton, Spurs vs Fulham and Burnley visiting their old boss, Owen Coyle, at the Reebok.
In the Colaship I’ll be hoping West Brom can stuff Ips**t, there’s also the te return of Darren Ferguson to Peterborough as Preston head to London Road.
In League One I’ll be praying for a Norwich win and a Leeds defeat and up there, in Scotland, there is one SPL game, Killmarnock V Hamilton, and also the Scottish Cup replay between Stenhousemuir and Dunfermline. The first game finished 7-1 to Dunfermline but they were expelled after fielding an ineligible player (Calum Woods). Then they were re-instated and now the tie will be replayed. Like that result is gonna change (I just jinxed you Dunfermline, suck it).
Full fixtures after the jump so join us to jibber-jabber on the days doings.

Crouchaldinho scores with a pounce in the Fulham box to make it 1-0 at White Hart Lane.
Bentley makes it two for Spurs…
Don’t know if anyone was expecting him to, but Stu Holden didn’t make the bench today for Bolton.
Gerrard starting, worried about that.
@Ryan, it may be tough, Coyle said last week thathe wasn’t signing him as he had enough players in that area but then he did a U-turn.
Camon meteor at the Molineux!
Nervy about this match. Fulham are a tough side, and we’ve been getting pushed around lately. If we allow Fulham to dictate the pace, it’s over.
Damn I’m so fired up about the Gateshead Kettering face off. Blue Square represent!
@ Ned / Ryan – Isn’t Holden still likely still recovering from the leg injury that hampered in trial stint?
I saw conflicting reports on that, a few articles said he was recovered and could feature, others left me with the impression that it was going to take a little time yet.
@knocksucow
Didn’t know about that!
I guess the injury combined with the just recent loan/transfer, made me not expect him to make the bench today.
For some reason I’m thinking Fulham without Dempsey isn’t going to quite be ready for Tottenham. They need a few games without him to recover.
Bright little start.
The Molineaux pitch looks a bit slippery today.
Fulham come out in red, spurs in white, ledley king with the armband today
SWINDON!!!!!!!!
Have taken the lead over Leeds!
Nice to see Hudd keep that one down instead of blasting over.
@phil: Is Niko hurt?
Unfortunately, Huddlestone has his shooting boots on.
@LE, not that i know. JUst has his minutes piling up, I think. Getting a breather today.
Peter Crouch might as well be an amputee for all the good his feet do him.
I realy like Bale’s ability to get that cross in low and hard.
WTF, CROUCH?
well done to the traveling Clarets:
BBC Sport’s Phil McNulty at the Reebok: “If Owen Coyle was uncertain about what sort or reception he was going to receive from Burnley’s fans, he knows only too well now. Hugely hostile, deafening chants of “Judas” before and after he emerged and a selection of insulting banners from supporters still very sore about his defection to Bolton. One banner unfurled before kick-off read “He’s Not The Messiah. He’s A Very Naughty Boy.” When Bolton supporters try to chant their support for Coyle, it is almost drowned out by the sound of fury coming from Burnley’s thousands of travelling supporters.”
4 EPL games, and nary a goal
Horrendous call.
Good afternoon all.
I’m looking forward to 90 mins of Spurs and Cottagers hoofing the ball.
Skrtel is retarded.
That looked out…
Mascherano would’ve been booked for making that tackle.
Wolves should be up and Mascherano needs to learn how to take a goddamn freekick.
Ahh, there’s that patented Georger charm.
What’s up with West Ham? Two substitutions have been made only fifteen minutes in; injuries?
Inventech helped me patent my charm, and they can help you too.
Preston winning at Peterborough
wrong clarets. Burnley have made two subs. Wet Spam still flying their starting XI.
If I didn’t know better I’d say Wolves were trying to get Mascherano to retaliate. That’ll probably work, actually.
Ah, you’re right. Still…injuries?
Bentley’s put in a good shift, so far.
yeah, injuries. And Wolves are just playing Mickball. Hack, clutch, kick and boot.
Color commentator has described every instance of a Liverpool player going down “theatrical.” F**k this EPLtalk style cock brigadier.
That was, um, pathetic defending by Fulham. Modric is keen on the ball.
Now, now, Georger. EPLTalk would be calling Wolves a “bunch of thugs that have no place in the game of football with their brutish, cynical tactics against our beloved Liverpool.”
WHAT A BALL FROM THE MAGICAL LITTLE CROAT GENIUS!!!!!!!! LUKA YOU BEAUTY!!!!!! Modric leaves it perfectly for Crouch who only has to tap into an empty net. Luka completely baited Schwarzer into coming off his line.
“Crouch who only has to tap into an empty net.”
uhm, you didn’t say if he succeeded, Phil. It is Crouchinho we’re talking about.
2010/11 season: Modric to Rooney, all day long.
TJ
I’m thinking about changing my name to Greg Oden’s Dong.
/TJ
Your name would be too long then.
I kind of miss Aquilani.
Pacheco is scoring in this game.
Did Rafa sell him off already after not playing him much?
Sounds like something he would do.
F**king Huddlestone was born without a conscience.
Yeah, Georger, Fergie is splashing on Modric. With him on the left, and Valencia making his runs down the right, both feeding the Rooney’s maw? Deadly.
Ahh. I cannot find a working stream. In my head, Crouch scored with a majestic acrobatic overhead volley after Modric danced through Fulham’s entire defense.
Jesus, Crouch, it’s called football. Use your feet.
LE: http : // www . rifmax . com / channel1 . html
Much obliged.
Gerrard should have scored. F**k.
Maybe Wolves will get someone sent off again so Liverpool can finally score.
whats going on here? I just got to my office and was expecting a Rushden & Diamonds liveblog!
No?
West Ham score to put Pompey further in the mire (if such a thing was even possible)
Wolves getting every goddamn whistle.
Oh we’re conceding soon.
Bristol City 0 Cardiff 6
Forest 4 QPR 0
The Liverpool players are starting to bitch at each other. Time for some subs.
For a while, Liverpool and Wolves was end to end stuff……which is NOT GOOD

Kid, this is for you
Jesus Christ I would prefer Dossena to Insua right now.
Diamanti got an assist on Kaboul’s own goal. I don’t know why, but I think that’s funny.
Time for some subs you stupid fat f**k.
although if you wanted a conference liveblog, Kidderminster is pasting Grays Athletic 4-1
@keith – sadly, this office computer has no audio, so I didn’t get the full effect of failure
It’s been time for subs for about ten minutes.
Game has been screaming for a bit of pace, so here comes the third fastest striker on the bench!
How has there not been a card in this game so far?
riera for N’GOOOOOOOg
Spurs look like they’ve chosen to stop playing well and got back to hoofing form that they’ve had the alst two weeks
This game needs Aquilani…and frankly, I’d take Gerrard off to bring him on. Gerrard has no idea what he’s doing half the time this season.
Look at him prance!!!!
I shall call him Bambi N’Gog
N’Gog’s little dribbling thing there was kind of neat, though.
STOP HOOFING THE BALL, CORLUKA
David N’Gog is a friend of mine
He’s the son of Vincent Van Gogh you know
David has more friends than you do
And David N’Gog is a striker too
I’ve shared a room with David N’Gog
And all night long he grinds his teeth
It could be genetic, it could be the heat
It’s pressure to score, that’s my belief
This I’ll tell you cause this I know
I’m a valuable friend to David N’Gog
I’m the only striker David N’Gog knows
Who wasn’t first friends with Vincent Van Gogh
(original source: http://www.last.fm/music/Dan+Bern/_/Joe+Van+Gogh)
Wolves can f**k off, anyways. Why not just adopt “Wolves” as your nickname? Everyone calls you that anyways. Be the f**king Wolverhampton Wolves and just get it over with. What the f**k is a Wanderer, anyways?
HE SCORED THAT GOAL AGAINST THE SCUM
BENTLEY
BENTLEY
FROM 40 YARDS HE BEAT ALMUNI-A
BENTLEY
WE ALWAYS KNEW HE WAS A YID
EVEN WHEN HE WAS WEARING RED
HE’S DAVID BENTLEY
TOTTENHAM’S NUMBER 5!!!
I don’t know, ask Stupid F**king Bolton. Sounds like a tribe of bedouins to me.
@ Phil
Luck luck luck luck…..luck luck luck luck
(sung to the tune of “same old such and such, always cheating”)
Oh,indeed, wacman. But poor Bentley needs a little luck.
yeah, he does suck, and he’s behind the likes of Lennon, Krancjar, and Modric……can you say no PT? He’s like Theo Walcott, sans hype….and pace
@phil – that is the worst terrace chant of all time
Good to see Rafa is so thrilled as to not make any other subs.
This is an inevitable loss.
WHY CANT ANYONE ON THIS TEAM TAKE F**KING SET PIECES
@Kid, phil: it doesn’t even fit the tune.
CODY CODY CODY CODY CODY CODY CODY
2-1 NORWICH. WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
LEEDS ARE 3 DOWN TOO! WHAT A DAY!
And another set piece directly into the keeper’s gloves.
How is a late studs tackle to the knee not a card?
@ NYK & Keth, all true, but what do Randy and Paula think?
Not bad dawg, you did your thing
Really? only two shots on goal total for both Wolves and Stupid F**king Liverpool? F**k Rafa in his goat herding ass.
@phil – Paula? She’s not even on the show this season! It’s Ellen DeGeneres and a bunch of guest judges. For instance, tonight it’s Katy Perry and Avril LaVigne.
/I’ve said too much
@Georger: Because Skrtel wasn’t the one doing the tackling.
@TFA: The EPL website’s been saying that, but it hasn’t been updated this half. We’ve totally let Wolves take more shots than that.
Embarrassing performance from everyone today.
Still, f**k Rafa in his goat-herder’s ass.
