  2. Yellow card!

    Shearer 5s 72-70 Savage 5s

    Has there been a wedding? Celebrity referee Adnan Januzaj is flinging out the confetti - the yellow confetti. Another booking from the Belgian, this time waving one in the face of Robbie Savage. He looks aghast. Like a player who has never been booked before...

  3. Keep it clean!

    Shearer 5s 72-70 Savage 5s

    This is one of THE great 5-a-side matches of our time. More drama in this 30-minutes than in a standard episode of Eastenders.

    Commentator Alistair Mann has just had to apologise for a few 'naughty' words that viewers might have heard. That's a £1 each in the swear bucket please lads. You think I'm kidding....

    Shearer's 1Extra mob are leading 5-2 against Savage's BBC Creative Sport team.

  5. Scoop v Januzaj

    Shearer 5s 70-70 Savage 5s

    The referee is threatening to become the centre of attention here. Adnan Januzaj is scaling a full-on war on Fatman Scoop, penalising him again for handling outside the area. The young Manchester United winger had better be careful - he'll have the Crooklyn Clan coming after him.

  6. Let me hear y'all!

    Shearer 5s 70-70 Savage 5s

    1Xtra Allstars keeper Fatman Scoop is doing more talking than the commentator. I'd be dishing out a yellow card for ungentlemanly conduct if I was referee Adnan Januzaj.

  7. Don't mess with the ref

    Looks like butter wouldn't melt. Don't be fooled. He's stricter than Mark Clattenburg...

  8. 'Head like a threp'ny bit'

    Possibly the highlight of my day.

    Savage lofts forward a pinpoint pass towards his BBC Creative Sport team-mate Alistair Magowan, whose attacking header flies off back towards his own goal.

    "Head like a threp'ny bit," quips commentator Alistair Mann. Priceless.

  9. Next up?

    Shearer 5s 67-68 Savage 5s

    Game 13. And we have a celebrity referee in the form of Manchester United winger Janazuj.

    Can he keep those 1Xtra boys in check? The Belgian means business. We're about two minutes in and Janazuj dishes out the first yellow card of the event! Strict.

  10. Lads on tour

  11. Celeb spot

    Ladies and gentleman, we have another Premier League footballer in the building. Well, in the piazza. You know what I mean. This fella hasn't had to travel far, just over the water from Old Trafford in fact.

    Rooney? No. De Gea? No. Adnan Januzaj? You're riiiiight!

  12. Savage v the masseur

  13. On the pitch

    Shearer 5s 66-66 Savage 5s

    "What's happening on the pitch?" I hear you cry. Sorry I'm being distracted by Whatsapp (for purposes of this live text obviously). 

    Shearer's team are trailing 4-1 to Savage's crew, who have pulled level with their rivals on aggregate.

    There's even a Chris Armstrong on the pitch. Chat that it is the former Palace and Spurs striker is wide of the mark.

  14. Get involved

    I don't know James from Adam. But if I did then I'd be tuning in.

  15. Want to help Sport Relief?

    You can show your support by donating to Sport Relief here

    £25 could enable a disadvantaged child in Bangladesh to take part in sports activities for a year, improving their health, wellbeing and confidence.

    £50 could pay for a disadvantaged young person in the UK to go on a sports coaching course giving them the skills they need to find work.  

    £70 could train a volunteer to run football and HIV awareness sessions for young people in a South African township.

    Any amount, however small, will help make a difference.

  16. Why we're here

    Those latecomers who have only just slinked into this 5-a-side party might be wondering why this is all happening.

    This video explains where your money goes...

  17. Halfway there for Sav

    Robbie is one of five players, along with opposite skipper Alan Shearer, Danny Jones (of McFly fame), Josh Cuthbert (of Union J fame, I'm reliably informed) and Rachel Riley (Countdown's number cruncher), putting themselves through a gruelling 12-hour stint in the name of charity.

    Unbelievable effort.

  18. Full-time

    Shearer 5s 65-62 Savage 5s

    If there was a Match of the Day tonight showing all of today's games then I reckon this one would be leading the programme. Shearer's 5 live Commentators team prevail 12-8 against Savage's BBC North West Tonight team, meaning the ex-England skipper leads 65-62 on aggregate after match 11. 

  19. "We've got that on video!"

    Schadenfreude from Shearer. The ex-England skipper takes great delight in one player shanking a shot high, wide and over the fence.

  20. 'A Kilbane masterclass!'

    Shearer 5s 64-61 Savage 5s

    "It's a Kevin Kilbane masterclass this one!" Those are the words of Alistair Mann. He sounds stunned. 

    The ex-Republic of Ireland international is going on a one-man wrecking spree. I've lost count how many he has scored. 

    But Shearer's side lead 11-7 because of Kilbane's brilliance, winning 64-61 on aggregate.
