  1. Tottenham v Man Utd (16:30 BST)

    Eric Dier has a word with Dele Alli as we near kick-off. Both certainties to start for England in the summer? 

  2. You need to get some new friends Andy!

  3. What time do you call this?

    Andy Tullock, London: Went out night before Hull City's home second-leg play-off v Watford in 2008 but promised an early finish. So friends stole my phone & put clock back 2 hours. Made it just in time to see Barmby equalise on 43rd min. Windass's Wembley Winner made up for it!

  4. Teams in the tunnel

    Tottenham v Man Utd (16:30 BST)

    The pre-match DJ has had to earn his corn today with an extra half-hour of music needed. He's had to dig into the bag of vinyl and chuck on some Abba but he'll be relieved to see the teams in the tunnel at White Hart Lane.

    A bit of Star Wars to welcome the sides - game time!

  5. Bojan levels it up

    Liverpool 1-1 Stoke

    Stoke City

    Bojan has scored with a free header of all things to bring Stoke back level at Anfield.

    Got stuck in traffic on the way to Spurs vs Man Utd back in 2001. Arrived at the Lane at half time with Spurs 3-0 up. Utd won 5-3...

    I turned up 10 mins late to a Villa-Bolton game many years ago due to traffic, arriving as the game went 2-2 to then watch a 0-0 as it ended 2-2. You can turn up in 80th min these days and still not miss a Villa goal!!

    PK, Glos

    While at University in Sheffield, decided to go and watch Carlisle who were playing at Chester. After being stuck at Stockport railway station for 2 hrs finally got to Chester at Half Time and they were cashing up the turnstiles. Managed to get in just, we won 2-0. So all was OK in the end.

  7. Tottenham v Man Utd (16:30 BST)

    So Stuart Pearce doesn't think the delay will be an issue. Mind you, his pre-match routine consisted of listening to a Stranglers LP, slide-tackling Terry Butcher and then shouting uncontrollably into the face of David Platt for seven minutes straight. Psycho! 

  8. Tottenham v Man Utd (16:30 BST)

    Stuart Pearce
    Ex-England defender at White Hart Lane for BBC Radio 5 live

    "Manchester United's players walked into the stadium about 20 minutes ago and have only just come out to warm up on the pitch now. They don't seem to be in much of a hurry. Normally after 20 minutes of warming up players are ready to start so I don't think it'll affect them."

  9. What time do you call this?

    Tottenham v Man Utd (16:30 BST)

    I forgot to mention that Sky Sports' Geoff Shreeves bottled the obvious question to throw at anyone who's late:

    "Why didn't you set off earlier Louis?"

  10. Liverpool lead

    Liverpool 1-0 Stoke

    Alberto Moreno has put Liverpool ahead at Anfield.

    A taxi to a match? Fraught with danger!

    And the clocks going forwards/backs has caught out many a fan in the past...

    Ordered a taxi in London Docklands to go to Millwall v Wolves. Driver insisted on taking us to the Valley, then took us an hour to get to The Den. Add a toilet stop for the daughter and son in law and a Poliss Road closure finally got to the Den for start of second half. Wolves were 3-0 up, final score 3-3, we had a few beers though.

    Went to see Muse at Wembley Stadium on a Saturday night in 2010 when Birmingham City were at home to Liverpool the next day. Stayed at a friend's place - one early alarm, a bus, two tubes, a train and the long walk to St Andrews later, I made it 2 minutes before kick-off. After all that, it ended 0-0...

    Colin Russell-Ames

    The clocks going forward has caught me out before. Arrived at Griffin Park at half time.

  12. Would Kane ever leave?

    Will we ever see Harry Kane wearing the red and white of Manchester United? Stranger things have happened.

    One man who knows the pros and cons of such a move better than most - well, better than everyone - is Teddy Sheringham.

    Ted moved from the Lane to Old Trafford in 1997 and won the Treble.

    "Timing’s a funny thing in football because you have to take the opportunity when it arises," Sheringham told the Evening Standard.

    “If you don’t, another striker might go to United or Real Madrid or whoever we’re talking about and you won’t get the chance again for another four or five years.

    "I’m sure there are top clubs looking at Harry and they’d be prepared to break the bank just because of the way he plays and the way he wants to score goals every time he gets the ball."

  13. Going nowhere. Fast.

    Tottenham v Man Utd (16:30 BST)

    Going around in circles, growing frustrated, not getting to where they need to - Manchester United fans will know that feeling...

  14. LVG not happy with London traffic

    Tottenham v Man Utd (16:30 BST)

    Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal: "How will we be affected by the delay? That we can only say afterwards! Tottenham also had problems because they have to wait, and we had to hurry.

    "I have already had an experience with Barcelona against Arsenal so I knew how London is. It is unbelievable! We have driven around in circles. It is unbelievable that you cannot drive to where you need to be.

    "The warm-up has to change, we cannot do everything that we have to do. I am not a god, I am a simple manager but we must play very well as Tottenham are one of the best teams in the league."

  15. Get Involved

    #bbcfootball

    Matthew Roberts: Manchester United are having bus trouble just as an expert bus-parking manager is available. Coincidence?

  16. Anfield is happening

    Liverpool v Stoke (16:00 BST)

    The Krist Novoselic of today's trio of games - Liverpool v Stoke - has no such kick-off problems and is quietly about to get under way on this page here.

    Liverpool made seven changes and Peter Crouch gets a start for Stoke. It's that sort of game. 

  17. 'Very tough now for Spurs'

    Tottenham v Man Utd (16:30 BST)

    Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino on Sky Sports: "It is very tough now, 10 points but we need to believe and try to win the game.

    "We are focused on this game, we are ready to compete but we know now that Leicester have the points. To fight for the title is our dream but we have to fight for our position."

  18. 'No excuses'

    Tottenham v Man Utd (16:30 BST)

    Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard confirms that they were on the bus for over two hours, it was 'a nightmare' journey and their preparations have been disrupted.

    But there 'are no excuses' he says, rather prematurely...

    Not me but a friend, Peter Short who missed the supporters' coach to Droylsden v Kettering conference north play off semi final. Taxi fare of £145 and he made it on time. #NoExcuse

    Peter Short's friend

    Any rules about a team turning up late? Any chance of Spurs getting awarded a home win by walkover? Remember Estonia v Scotland 1998?

  20. Manchester United have arrived

    Tottenham v Man Utd (16:30 BST)

    Manchester United have arrived at White Hart Lane so we are on for a 16:30 kick off.

    The driver will be a relieved person.
