Team Savage score 500thpublished at 16:01 GMT 5 March 2016
Breaking
Scoring within seconds of the kick off, Team Savage start as they mean to go on.
They've hit the 500 mark AND they've got it down to a 35 goal difference on aggregate.
Pitch repairspublished at 15:57 GMT 5 March 2016
The ground staff are bouncing around like synchronised kangaroos at the moment trying to realign the astroturf jigsaw before hammering the seams down with a mallet. The patchwork pitch is starting to disintegrate like nearby Old Trafford used to in the 1990s.
When they resume, Team Savage will attempt to erase a 36 goal margin and score their 500th goal.
Come on downpublished at 15:45 GMT 5 March 2016
If you're anywhere nearby, head down to Salford Quays to cheer on the last 2.5 hours of football (the rain's intermittent we'd say!) You'll also spot a fair few famous footballing faces.

Royle rumblepublished at 15:34 GMT 5 March 2016
Actor and semi-professional footballer Ralf Little is heading down to Salford Quays to get stuck in to the action. Who will nab him for their team? Looks like he's open to bribes... (to be paid directly to Sport Relief of course).

We've heard there are a few other football matches happening at the moment but the five-a-side match is the real one to watch. We would say that though, wouldn't we.

Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.
Last night, as the clock ticked towards midnight, a player walked on to the pitch... and became an instant legend.
The combination of his immense goalkeeping prowess and his distinctive beard caught the attention of the commentators. It wasn't long before #beardwatch was born.

Shearer back on!published at 14:48 GMT 5 March 2016
With Team Savage making an unexpected comeback, the main man has been called upon. Let's see how he's moving.
We've also noticed that Gary Lineker has snuck on as the whistler, he's here to prepare for tonight's Match of the Day and host the presentation ceremony at 6.15pm. As an avid Leicester fan, he'll be delighted by that scoreline at White Hart Lane.

With 3 hours and 42 minutes on the clock, Team Savage need to score approximately every 5 minutes to make it back to evens. And obviously prevent Team Shearer from scoring along the way too.
