Pedro makes it 2-0. Embarrassing

Jimmy Hill has passed away aged 87. Player, manager, pundit, union leader and pretty much everything else in the game, and hugely influential as he did those things. RIP Jimmy

Probably just a name from the past for many here but Jimmy Hill was a highly innovative football figure of the twentieth century.

As chairman of the PFA, he played a leading role in the abolition of the maximum wage - capped at £20 a week when abolished in, I think, 1961.

Incredibly successful as manager during the 1960s of Coventry City (my team then as a boy). Seemed to be heading for relegation from the old Division  3 when he took over, he guided them from that lowly position to the top tier of Division 1 with title wins in Divisions 3 and 2 along the way. The Sky Blue Revolution under his management also saw for the first time in this country pre-match and half-time entertainment together with a Sky Blue train being put on to take supporters to away games.

There then followed a successful broadcasting career. During one televised game  - at Arsenal's Highbury  - he was attending, the linesman pulled a muscle and was unable to carry on. No reserve officials in those days - so with a tracksuit being quickly found for him, Jimmy took on the role. You'll never see anything like that at the Emirates!

If we ever get round to having a Football Hall of Fame on this site, Jimmy Hill should have a nailed on place.

As I spend my time arguing with some how disgusting a sporting figure Tyson Fury is, the contrast between one of the most influential figures in English football is powerful.

Everton 0-1 Leicester - Mahrez

[Hammersmith harrier]

It's a term that is thrown about too easily but Jimmy Hill truly was a legendary figure in football, he was THE presenter of football when I was growing up. RIP.

[Guest]

Everton 1-1 Leicester - Lukaku (can he beat vardy?)

[Guest]

Man U 0-1 Norwich - Jerome (Man U 0 shots on target)

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Cameron Jerome has scored at Old Trafford

[Guest]

Mourinho in charge of Man U against Chelsea on Dec 28th. This crazy league will produce this story, LVG can't surely go on?

[Ent]

I'm sure lvg doesn't coach the players to leave huge gaps through laziness then dive wrecklessly into challenges.

He is going to lose his job at this rate and the players have a lot to answer for.

[Guest]

Everton 1-1 Leicester - Lukaku (can he beat vardy?)

Seven on the bounce for Romelu, needs another four to equal. Still a tough job, especially up against Coloccini & Mbemba next week

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Penalty to Chelsea

Chelsea 3-0 - Oscar from the spot

[Guest]

Bournemouth take the lead. AWFUL

Norwich 0-2 up & LVG most certainly sacked.

[Guest]

This is getting quite frankly ridiculous. Swansea in the bottom 3 now, if Villa lose to us, they could be 11 points off safety. Midfield sides being dragged back into this relegation fight

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Martial scores, United back in it

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

There's literally no way we don't lose this

[Guest]

Everton 1-2 Leicester

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

FYI not what I was expecting to wake upto in the middle of the night in Australia - 2-0 up with Camjam and Tettey scoring

Anybody watching it live? What's the game been like?

[Fernando]

Well at HT United had 70% possession & 0 shots on target so a usual Utd game fella.

[Guest]

FYI not what I was expecting to wake upto in the middle of the night in Australia

That's some hardcore sleepwalking, Olly!

[Guest]

EVERTON 1-3 LEICESTER - Will they be stopped? Okazaki

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Bojan from the spot Stoke 1-1 Palace

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

FYI not what I was expecting to wake upto in the middle of the night in Australia

That's some hardcore sleepwalking, Olly!

I have literally no idea what time/day it is body wise!!

Only thing I know is that's it's 27 degrees in the middle of the night....

More time to fondle your sister then Olly

EVERTON 1-3 LEICESTER - Will they be stopped? Okazaki

Not with Ranieri leading them.

[GSC]

Everton need a killer instinct.

[GSC]

2-1 to Bournemouth. Kinda sad indictment of Pulis-ball, soundly outplayed by a promoted side at home.

[GSC]

2-1 Palace. Chung Yong Lee still exists

[Dolphin Ziggler]

2-1 to Bournemouth. Kinda sad indictment of Pulis-ball, soundly outplayed by a promoted side at home.

Red card will have done it

[Guest]

Exactly

[GSC]

Jose to United just makes too much sense to happen.

[Guest]

First game in charge at home, will be against Chelsea on the 28th

[GSC]

How long would it take for Fellaini to nail Fabregas in that scenario.

[Guest]

Man U 1-2 Norwich FT

[GSC]

United beaten by Norwich at home.

it really has to be the last straw for LVG surely. Jose at least got through the CL group stages

[Hammersmith harrier]

Bye bye Louis.

[GSC]

Rondon sent off for West Brom

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

YELLAS!!

[JamesLincs]

No mention of spurs again..

[Fernando]

That's because Spurs will do what they always do and tire towards season end and drop just out of the top 4 (really shouldn't with United/Chelsea being Poopie)

[lfc91]

I think spurs will get top 4 this year. Genuinely starting to think Leicester will too. Arsenal City Leicester spurs.

[Fernando]

They really should be getting top 4.

That being said if i were United and sacking LVG id going after MoPo instead of Maureen. Maureen will do his 2-3 years as normal and leave, MoPo will build a youthful side like United need.

[Fernando]

Newcastle XI: Elliot, Janmaat, Mbemba, Coloccini, Dummett Sissoko, Anita, Colback, Wijnaldum, De Jong, Cisse

Aston Villa XI: Guzan, Hutton, Okore, Lescott, Bacuna, Sanchez, Gueye, Westwood, Sinclair, Ayew, Veretout

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Let's hope Toon beat villa so they're pretty much relegated

[Guest]

Game panning out as expected, Villa frustrating us. Cisse off for Mitrovic, hopefully Perez on for De Jong at HT ( how many times have I said that)

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

A blow for villa as Cisse gets injured

(Why aren't Newcastle starting Mitrovic/PerezJohn??!)

[Guest]

Coloccini

[sirfredperry]

Leicester City fans must be in dreamland. As a supporter, it shows you have to have faith not only in your team but also in yourself, to go on following a side.

[Guest]

Siem de Jong is truly woeful

[Guest]

Embarrassing. De Jong needs retiring for missing that sitter, invited all the pressure back on us, when it should be 2-0. Now it's 1-1. Blame McClaren too, woeful management keeping De Jong in the team.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

No mention of spurs again..
