:02:21. > :02:28.takes charge today with the new man watching in the wings. They
:02:28. > :02:32.travelled to Molineux to face a waltz side desperate for three
:02:32. > :02:35.points. They were even top for one brief stage in August, but since

:12:29. > :12:39.Jamie of horror? Elmohamady is claiming it. Fletcher found the
:12:39. > :13:15.
:13:15. > :13:21.from losing. At last and's penalty was saved to and from somewhere,
:13:21. > :13:25.through Stephen Fletcher, they found a means to wind and
:13:25. > :13:29.Sunderland start under Martin O'Neill next week on the back of
:13:29. > :13:33.another defeat. Welcome back to the Premier League, Martin. Mr O'Neill
:13:33. > :13:37.takes over at Sunderland tomorrow and has a tough job on. The Black
:13:37. > :13:42.Cats looked likely winners but the game turned in a matter of seconds,
:13:42. > :13:48.following Hennessey's penalty save. Stephen Fletcher then scored and
:13:48. > :13:53.netted again for the winner. Fabulous match. He insisted it
:13:53. > :13:58.didn't touch him. When it came to us I thought they'd send him off. I
:13:58. > :14:02.didn't see the card. He done his hamstring. If it wasn't a penalty
:14:02. > :14:06.then the goal they deserved, because it was a great save it.
:14:06. > :14:11.missed the penalty, that was the turning point. The confidence then
:14:11. > :14:14.goes with the team that has and one that many games this season. It
:14:14. > :14:18.just drained as of energy and it became hard after that. The few
:14:18. > :14:22.weeks ago they will have heard my comments at the Swansea game but
:14:22. > :14:26.today I thought our supporters were wonderful. They stuck with the team,
:14:26. > :14:29.with me, there were no dissenting voices. They deserve the huge pat
:14:29. > :14:34.on the back for their efforts to date. Martin O'Neill moves in on
:14:34. > :14:38.Monday with good players to build on. It's a really strong squad. The
:14:38. > :14:42.work ethic is fantastic, they are a good bunch of lads. They are
:14:42. > :14:46.desperate to do well. Globally Marton will get a bit of confidence
:14:46. > :14:50.back into them. I'm sure he will galvanise them and get them going.
:14:50. > :15:00.What happens to you now, it's a limbo situation? I'll just have to
:15:00. > :15:04.
:15:04. > :15:08.see what happens. I leave the club Another really enjoyable game.
:15:08. > :15:16.was very poor at the start, technically, a lot of mistakes, but
:15:16. > :15:20.it got better as the game went on. There was a crazy minute, centred
:15:20. > :15:30.around one decision. Great play from Sunderland's leading up to the
:15:30. > :15:34.
:15:34. > :15:42.out, he made Larsson go down too easy. It was outside the box, not a
:15:42. > :15:47.penalty. That was a dive with bells on. Such a shame. Larsson has
:15:47. > :15:54.generally been brilliant this season. He let himself badly down.
:15:54. > :15:59.And a second time in a row. Not a terrible penalty. Not just a game
:15:59. > :16:08.changing moment, possibly, a seasoned changing moment. Well held
:16:08. > :16:18.up by Fletcher. A great header. Poor defending from Brown. The
:16:18. > :16:18.
:16:18. > :16:24.momentum was with them. Fletcher You can measure loads of things,
:16:24. > :16:29.shots on target. Possession. Momentum is so important. When
:16:29. > :16:39.Hennessey saved the penalty. The winning goal was eight minutes
:16:39. > :16:40.
:16:40. > :16:47.great finishing by Fletcher. I think that came away from his
:16:47. > :16:50.shoulder. A brilliant decision. Because he leant towards it, it
:16:50. > :16:57.looked like a penalty, most penalties would give it. But you
:16:57. > :17:02.shouldn't, and the goalkeeper thinks it is a penalty as well. The
:17:02. > :17:06.most important thing is the referee, unless you know it is a penalty,
:17:06. > :17:13.you cannot give it, he made the right decision. Referees get a lot
:17:13. > :17:20.of stick. 15 people watching that, we all said, hand ball. He deserves
:17:20. > :17:24.all the credit. This will never catch on, being so
:17:24. > :17:29.positive for the referee's! If Martin O'Neill, the statistics
:17:29. > :17:33.speak for themselves when it comes to this man. When he takes it
:17:33. > :17:42.further over, he generally improves them. I was fortunate to play for
:17:42. > :17:51.him at Leicester. Aston Villa, he proves at every club he can do it
:17:51. > :18:00.well. At some clubs he has money. Martin O'Neill took his seat as
:18:00. > :18:09.manager elect. All the best players weren't available. However,
:18:09. > :18:15.goalkeeper, that saved by Westwood is top class. For me, I think, if
:18:15. > :18:21.you are looking at players who can play left back, left wing, anywhere
:18:21. > :18:29.on the left, Richardson it is as good as there is. Defending. And he
:18:29. > :18:39.scores a great goal. Sessegnon has looked better and better. Work
:18:39. > :18:43.
:18:43. > :18:48.ethic is one of the most important things. Bendtner. Heskey. Joe Hart.
:18:48. > :18:54.His captain, Cattermole. Martin O'Neill, it is all about his team
:18:54. > :19:03.and when you let your team down, he won't accept that. Martin O'Neill
:19:03. > :19:09.will be disappointed. The big thing is, he has an order around him,
:19:09. > :19:13.players respect him. Robbie, you played under Martin O'Neill. And
:19:13. > :19:18.Steve Bruce. What will be the difference at the training ground?
:19:18. > :19:24.One of the big things at Birmingham is you are only as good as your
:19:24. > :19:29.strikers. He hasn't got any, basically. Martin O'Neill will need
:19:29. > :19:36.a couple of centre-forwards in. Steve Bruce was more hands on it
:19:36. > :19:41.the training ground. Martin will come out for five minutes. Everyone
:19:41. > :19:47.lifts their game, it is amazing, the Europe of that man. Both
:19:47. > :19:52.fantastic managers. Bruce will get another job. As he walked away from
:19:52. > :20:01.the stand, the expectation rose. We saw the evidence. He comes in and
:20:01. > :20:05.improves. What is the realistic The top half of the table, that is
:20:05. > :20:12.what you would expect from Martin O'Neill. Don't get relegated, as
:20:12. > :20:22.simple as that. Get a structure, don't give away silly goals. And
:20:22. > :20:24.
:20:24. > :20:28.build, going forward. Right then. With Martin O'Neill in mind, you
:20:28. > :20:31.can see his first game in charge of Sunderland next Sunday on Match Of

:32:00. > :32:04.terrific. All supporters in football have been great to Gary
:32:04. > :32:07.Speed. Everybody respected him. It was great that his dad was here
:32:07. > :32:11.today. In some way, if it is a send-up, hopefully it was a good
:32:11. > :32:16.one today. I thought Everton Football Club did brilliant. A
:32:16. > :32:19.great football club, do it that -- traditional, old-fashioned English
:32:19. > :32:23.football club. The people who organised it today, it was
:32:23. > :32:28.fantastic and a great response from the crowd. It's hard to think back
:32:28. > :32:32.seven days ago and how horrible it was, but seven days later and six
:32:32. > :32:36.days later there was something very uplifting about seeing the entire
:32:36. > :32:39.football community paid tribute to Gary. And rightly so. I spoke to
:32:39. > :32:46.his father last night. He can't believe how the football world has
:32:46. > :32:49.come together to show such a tribute to his boy, Gary. You could
:32:49. > :32:56.see he said, absolutely amazing. The tears were streaming down his
:32:56. > :33:00.face. It was a little bit like last week for everything that was said.
:33:00. > :33:05.It was the Swansea fans saying, we don't want the minutes' silence, we
:33:05. > :33:08.want a minute of applause. It is the fans that had defined the
:33:08. > :33:12.mourning. No matter who you supported, the footballing
:33:12. > :33:18.community in Britain have come together to pay tribute to one of
:33:18. > :33:23.the biggest legend be seen, in my eyes. And those emotive scenes, it
:33:23. > :33:27.was really charged. The game got under way. 90 minutes later, plus
:33:27. > :33:31.half-time, Stoke had another win under their belt and absolutely
:33:31. > :33:35.flying. Yes, they've had a fantastic season. Because they play
:33:35. > :33:39.generally to their strengths. We all know what their strengths are.
:33:39. > :33:43.It's because they know how to defend. They know how to work hard.
:33:43. > :33:47.They know how to organise the team They know how to organise the team
:33:47. > :33:52.in a powerful way. They Ra powerful team. However, defending. Look at
:33:53. > :33:59.Howard there. For me, he's getting blocked. I think that is a file.
:33:59. > :34:08.The ball breaks. He is blocking him, he is backing into him. He is
:34:08. > :34:14.standing still. He's not moving. That is not a foul. It is. Fellaini,
:34:14. > :34:22.is this a foul or an assault? is not a fault. Fellaini disagrees
:34:22. > :34:28.with you. That one is. The referee is spot on, right behind it.
:34:28. > :34:32.Fellaini is getting more and more frustrated. Here is another one. Is
:34:32. > :34:39.this a wrestling match? But goodness sake, they knew that
:34:39. > :34:49.Fellaini was the one danger. That is 50-50. Come on! Is this a nudge
:34:49. > :34:49.
:34:49. > :34:51.at the back? It's very good defending. Here? It's a nudge.
:34:51. > :34:56.Eventually the Everton players get a bit fed up with it and that's
:34:57. > :35:01.what they complain about. I can't understand why he gets infuriated.
:35:01. > :35:04.Every team does it. I accept it happens all the time. Stoke are
:35:04. > :35:08.happens all the time. Stoke are particularly good at it. Mark
:35:08. > :35:12.Hughes said to me, give the centre half a nudge and move away from him.
:35:12. > :35:19.Everybody does it. But if you aren't playing the ball, you have
:35:19. > :35:24.to play the ball. It one referee clamps down on it and every day -
:35:24. > :35:29.mad game he clamps down then you would see it eradicated. They are
:35:29. > :35:34.mergers. The difference between the two teams was in the tunnel before
:35:34. > :35:36.they went out on the pitch. Yes. They are the biggest defence you
:35:36. > :35:40.They are the biggest defence you will ever see. But they're good
:35:40. > :35:46.defenders. Really impressed with how they work here. He's got six
:35:46. > :35:50.players in front of him in red and white. What has he got to aim for?
:35:50. > :35:54.If he plays it in their, their keeper will come out and take it.
:35:54. > :35:58.He has nothing to a map. Time and time again he went down the line
:35:58. > :36:02.and put crosses in. It doesn't matter because there are so many
:36:02. > :36:08.big lads that are very good defenders and want to win the ball.
:36:08. > :36:14.They do. Everton today, what they're missing, Tim Cahill's goal,
:36:14. > :36:18.I think the top scorers got three goals. They miss him and Number 10.
:36:18. > :36:24.But the number 10 have got through this? Nine players. 30 seconds to
:36:24. > :36:27.go. They wanted that, didn't they? For me, Stoke, they suffered when
:36:27. > :36:31.they came back from the Europa League games. This one, they came
:36:31. > :36:36.back and thought, we will have to defend, work hard, close down and
:36:36. > :36:39.get a clean sheet. That is why Tony Pulis said that was a classics Doug
:36:39. > :36:43.game. And a classic away performance. You need your keeper
:36:43. > :36:47.to perform as well. It has to be said, keepers in the Premier League
:36:47. > :36:54.at the moment, not a weekend goes by it but we are not marvelling at
:36:54. > :36:59.them. Sorensen today was big, brave, he came for everything. He was
:36:59. > :37:04.terrific. You look at the defenders they've got. The keeper is also
:37:04. > :37:10.attacking everything. Is this a penalty? That is a penalty. I think
:37:10. > :37:13.Sorensen has played his knee. I think that's a penalty. Once again,
:37:13. > :37:18.he was really brave. He had to go off after because he took a real
:37:18. > :37:23.hit. The referee, I would argue it was a penalty. The referee cannot
:37:23. > :37:28.give that unless he is sure. I have to say, I didn't think it was but
:37:28. > :37:32.you are so visible tonight but I'm going to agree with you and move on.
:37:32. > :37:35.Everton, no money to spend again. David Moyes has them in the top
:37:35. > :37:39.half of the table. They deserve some much credit, the way they
:37:39. > :37:45.battle of wits. I went to the game at Bolton last week and they look
:37:45. > :37:48.sharp and fit and are playing for their manager. For me, David Moyes
:37:48. > :37:54.has no money to spend, there's only a matter of time that he can
:37:54. > :38:04.continue to under-achieve. Much of the day has given us this season's
:38:04. > :38:20.
:38:20. > :38:30.Goal of the Month. We are happy to What a strike from Ryan Taylor!
:38:30. > :39:05.
:39:05. > :39:11.chance. Milner is charging forward. Silva. Great first touch, even
:39:11. > :39:21.better second touch. In a side full of stars, Silva shines the
:39:21. > :39:32.
:39:32. > :39:42.clearance from Begovic. He goes for goal and finds it. Brilliant finish
:39:42. > :39:57.
:39:57. > :40:04.again. Get it back from Bale. Three minutes will be added on. It is
:40:04. > :40:14.Lennon for Spurs. He goes all the way, and Lennon scores! Spurs' goal
:40:14. > :40:30.
:40:30. > :40:35.two up. It's a well-taken Persie for Arsenal. It is 2-1. Van
:40:35. > :40:45.Persie's second of the game up. You can't give van Persie the ball in
:40:45. > :40:52.
:40:52. > :41:00.that sort of position and expect to run. Adam spotted it. Johnson, good
:41:00. > :41:05.first touch. Johnson for Liverpool. He scores! Liverpool are in front.
:41:05. > :41:14.Glen Johnson, once of Chelsea, puts Liverpool in front against the run
:41:14. > :41:21.Pat Nevin, not as straightforward as most months we have here. What
:41:21. > :41:27.is your choice? Only wanted to pick Silva but I can't. However, three
:41:27. > :41:33.goalkeepers, all of them trampling, could not have saved Taylor's goal.
:41:33. > :41:39.You have to agree with that. Maybe a bit above the others. Taylor's
:41:39. > :41:43.technique is fantastic. He's got great technique, from free-kicks.
:41:43. > :41:49.That wasn't a free kick, that was a dipping volley. He deserved it.
:41:49. > :41:54.Good choice. At last they agree on something! All the goals, Golden
:41:54. > :42:04.moments and scrambles from yesterday. We have Chelsea and

:42:08. > :42:13.went home happy. This could have been a very different game, had
:42:13. > :42:18.this been a red Winstead of yellow poor lewes macro. The referee then
:42:18. > :42:23.gave Chelsea a penalty at the other end, but the Red Hot Tim Krul kept
:42:23. > :42:27.Frank Lampard out from the spot. The keeper in the post men kept
:42:27. > :42:31.Sturridge at bay. The same combination at the other end of
:42:31. > :42:36.water Demba Ba. The slightest of touches from Ryan Taylor went
:42:36. > :42:42.unnoticed by home fans, but not the referee. A decision, which was to
:42:42. > :42:52.prove beneficial for Chelsea. Drogba! Chelsea have the lead.
:42:52. > :42:57.
:42:57. > :43:03.Didier Drogba heads the blues in Chelsea quickly trying to switch
:43:03. > :43:08.the emphasis. Ramires is in for 2-0. Tim Krul keeps him out. Frank
:43:08. > :43:11.Lampard didn't take kindly to being substituted. And walking into one I
:43:11. > :43:19.unposed definitely wouldn't have improved his mood. Don Perry wasn't
:43:19. > :43:29.the right place to keep Chelsea in front on the pitch. -- John Kerry.

:43:45. > :43:53.Fernando Torres to score? He gets another opportunity. It is Kalou.
:43:53. > :43:59.Chelsea have won it now. Chelsea could yet get another goal. It is

:44:17. > :44:23.Joe Hart saved the blushers of Kompany and to rape. Aguero then
:44:23. > :44:30.missed this. Only to redeem himself with a toe poke through the eye of

:44:40. > :45:19.
:45:19. > :45:26.Yaya Toure into Johnson. A lovely turn. A smashing goal. A superb
:45:26. > :45:36.goal from Manchester City. What the team work. Vincent Kompany.

:46:16. > :46:26.rescue. Before Brad Friedel got friendly with the ball, to repel
:46:26. > :46:27.
:46:27. > :46:36.everything that they threw at him. Until Lennon made the break through.
:46:36. > :46:43.Lennon. Oh yes, Lennon. The second goal comes at last. Assou-Ekotto
:46:43. > :46:49.was unlucky not to win a penalty but Defoe made sure of the points.
:46:49. > :46:59.Gareth Bale, near post, Defoe was in there. Iford wouldn't have

:47:58. > :48:05.manager. Swept wide. Routledge has it. A dangerous ball. Smashed in on
:48:06. > :48:15.the rebound. Swansea pressed the self-destruct button. Allen picked
:48:16. > :48:16.
:48:16. > :48:25.up his second yellow. Can Yakubu kick his nerve, he can! Steve Kean
:48:25. > :48:31.is indebted to Yakubu for a bad fall of goals. A much needed when.
:48:31. > :48:36.When Yakubu scores, it is easy to stand on high and condemn that.
:48:36. > :48:44.Things have deteriorated really badly. They're all screwed up, the
:48:44. > :48:48.relationships. With John Williams, the chairman. Now, the manager

:48:53. > :48:58.don't know what they're doing. Frustration towards the manager,
:48:58. > :49:06.and the owners. M seriously worried about that football club. It's not
:49:06. > :49:15.just about winning games. Steve Kean had to take the job, a great
:49:15. > :49:24.chance for him. The owners, I don't know what is going on. Winning is

:49:36. > :49:44.for Andre Villas-Boas. It is all about excitement, intelligence.
:49:44. > :49:49.Entertainment as much as possible. 3-0 yesterday could have been it 7-

:50:22. > :50:30.
:50:30. > :50:40.Well taken by Pat Nevin. Genius! What was it like? We think
:50:40. > :50:47.of the 80s as being a booze culture. There was you, drinking fine wine.
:50:47. > :50:51.There was a blues culture. For one of the clubs, I got fined for not
:50:51. > :51:01.being drunk. I went to see a movie instead and the manager found out
:51:01. > :51:09.and find me. I don't buy this, he says he has never died in his
:51:09. > :51:14.entire career. Never ever? It is precisely the opposite. That's how
:51:14. > :51:21.much the game has changed. The idea when you are tackled is to stay on
:51:21. > :51:27.your feet, it is pride. A few years ago, used to get a sledgehammer to
:51:27. > :51:32.hit you before a penalty kick. Where were you happiest? You
:51:32. > :51:42.started at Clyde. You ended up as Chelsea Player of the Year. Everton.
:51:42. > :51:43.
:51:43. > :51:48.Tranmere. They were good in different ways. Chelsea was fun. I
:51:48. > :51:58.first year there was fantastic. Then back to the end of my career
:51:58. > :52:00.
:52:00. > :52:05.with Kilmarnock, it was fantastic. A great bunch of guys. It is this
:52:05. > :52:11.moment I remember more than ever. Listen to the commentary.
:52:11. > :52:15.COMMENTATOR: Pat Nevin. Dear, oh dear. I don't believe it. I hope
:52:15. > :52:18.I'm not being too unkind to Pat Nevin, a player of undoubted
:52:18. > :52:24.quality but that has to be the worst penalty I have seen at this
:52:24. > :52:28.level of football. You probably didn't take many.
:52:28. > :52:35.got fined for that as well because the manager spotted me laughing. He
:52:35. > :52:38.find me for laughing. You have given us a lot of laughter
:52:38. > :52:42.in Strictly Come Dancing. This was my favourite moment of your entire
