:00:57. > :01:01.Hello everybody, your full stop to the weekend, the Barclays Premier
:01:01. > :01:06.League football is hee, and you are in the company of the best in the
:01:06. > :01:11.business. Lee Dixon, and a man who made his record 278th consecutive
:01:11. > :01:17.appearance in the top flight yesterday, Spurs keeper Brad
:01:17. > :01:27.Friedel. We head east as Norwich host West
:01:27. > :01:36.Brom. We're in the capital for Fulham against Blackburn.
:01:36. > :01:39.We look back at all the goals from yesterday. And new to Match of the
:01:39. > :01:46.Day, we have August's goals of the month.
:01:46. > :01:51.Lots more on top of that too, but first two sides with a simple three
:01:51. > :01:57.letter word weighing heavy on their minds. This is battle of the birds,
:01:57. > :02:02.the Canaries against the throssels, with both teams and managers
:02:02. > :02:06.desperate to register a win. Paul Lambert's Norwich have shown
:02:06. > :02:15.glimpses of greatness in their top flight return. They can take heart
:02:15. > :02:22.from an unlucky 3-1 defeat at Chelsea two weeks ago. For Andrew
:02:22. > :02:31.Hodgson's team it is a defeat three on three. They will hope for a
:02:31. > :02:41.It is a full house to watch the birdies of the eight league games
:02:41. > :03:04.
:03:04. > :03:08.only right that football should remember the anniversary of the
:03:08. > :03:13.attacks on the United States. But also West Bromwich Albion today
:03:13. > :03:23.marking the sad death of their 14- year-old academy player, Blake
:03:23. > :04:03.
:04:03. > :04:07.Melbourne, who died yesterday scored, West Bromwich Albion after
:04:07. > :04:16.two minutes have the lead, and Peter Odemwingie picks up where he
:04:16. > :04:20.left off last season, with a real punch of a goal.
:04:20. > :04:26.The hair colour hasn't changed but the sharpness in front of goal
:04:26. > :04:30.hasn't. West Bromwich Albion have nicked an
:04:30. > :04:35.early lead, thanks to Peter Odemwingie.
:04:35. > :04:45.A real poachers goal. Fabulous start for Andrew Hodgson's
:04:45. > :05:14.
:05:14. > :05:24.side, and for Peter Odemwingie, his and Holt couldn't react quickly
:05:24. > :05:24.
:05:24. > :06:17.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds
:06:17. > :06:20.Rudd will be pleased with that. It was all about the pace of
:06:20. > :06:30.Odemwingie, the goalkeeper did well, stood up and made it difficult for
:06:30. > :06:30.
:06:30. > :07:43.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds
:07:43. > :07:50.City are really lucky they are not This was travelling.
:07:50. > :08:00.Had that been eight inches lower. It would have been lucky to smell
:08:00. > :08:40.
:08:40. > :08:45.there to warrant a foul. Morrison's free kick.
:08:45. > :08:51.The foot came out, Reid went over, and the referee says penalty, and
:08:51. > :08:58.Steve Morrison with an ugly-looking challenge on Steven Reid has
:08:58. > :09:01.conceded a penalty. Well the debate goes on.
:09:01. > :09:11.Norwich have conceded another penalty.
:09:11. > :09:11.
:09:11. > :09:17.Morrison, he didn't get any of the ball. He goes into the back of Reid,
:09:17. > :09:22.and gets the yellow card. I think Delatt has got a yellow
:09:22. > :09:26.card for protesting. Norwich City have conceded a penalty in every
:09:26. > :09:32.game they have played in the Premier League. It is Peter
:09:32. > :09:39.Odemwingie who takes it, against Declan Rudd, and he saves it.
:09:39. > :09:49.What a big moment that could be. The youngster stands up tall and
:09:49. > :09:59.saves the penalty. Wasn't the greatest from Odemwingie.
:09:59. > :10:18.
:10:18. > :10:23.But Rudd guessed right, and Norwich Since he came on Houlihan.
:10:23. > :10:33.Morrison's header, that is a chance. The quality of cross has been good
:10:33. > :10:58.
:10:58. > :11:03.looking as innocent as he can. The referee didn't see anything wrong
:11:03. > :11:13.with that. There was contact, I'm not sure it
:11:13. > :11:18.
:11:18. > :11:23.that you can't play with bloodstreaming from your mouth like.
:11:23. > :11:33.That just when they need a goal, Norwich might have to play with ten
:11:33. > :11:35.
:11:35. > :11:44.men. Here is howl han, into Morrison has been pulled over by
:11:44. > :11:54.Steven Reid. Reid hurled him over. Have a look at that. That is really
:11:54. > :11:54.
:11:54. > :12:47.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds
:12:47. > :12:53.lips, it is a good victory for West Bromwich Albion.
:12:54. > :12:59.So new boys Norwich are looking for the first win. As for West Bromich,
:12:59. > :13:08.Peter Odemwingie's early goal proved a triumph for a tough game
:13:09. > :13:15.with its fair share of decisions. There were a few good opportunities
:13:15. > :13:19.for us to score. The goalie saved the Peter Odemwingie penalty, we
:13:19. > :13:23.could have had a calmer last 15 to 20 minutes, that is what football
:13:23. > :13:27.teams do, the older you get, any team you work for wants to make
:13:27. > :13:30.sure you get close to heart attack level somewhere in the last 15
:13:30. > :13:37.minutes. Paul another Norwich City game which is about penalty
:13:37. > :13:43.decisions at the end of the day? have had four, which is an
:13:43. > :13:53.extraordinary run, giving penalties away. That's the game. Deck lan
:13:53. > :13:54.
:13:54. > :14:00.made a brilliant save from it. did you make of it? I thought he
:14:00. > :14:05.has been kaut, and you hope the officials see it in the penalty box,
:14:05. > :14:09.when you look at the tape you can see he's been hit.
:14:09. > :14:16.Norwich are unhappy about the elbow? It was accidental, as he
:14:16. > :14:19.turns he catches him. It is clearly accidental, there was no intent.
:14:19. > :14:23.Roy Hodgson's take is there was contact, but he didn't feel there
:14:24. > :14:30.was any intent or a deliberate act? I haven't spoken to Roy after it.
:14:30. > :14:35.As I say, I have seen it on the tape, numerous times. We'll see.
:14:35. > :14:40.No shock in that, two managers No shock in that, two managers
:14:40. > :14:50.respectfully disagreeing. It is over to you Lee? When it was
:14:50. > :14:54.in play when we were watching t I didn't see T you have to give H -
:14:54. > :14:58.the referee the benefit of the doubt, if he had seen it he would
:14:58. > :15:05.have given the red card. There was definitely something with the blood
:15:05. > :15:09.everywhere. He gets on the wrong side of Tamas and swings his right
:15:09. > :15:14.elbow. I think he got a little bit on the wrong side of him. There is
:15:14. > :15:19.the elbow coming round. It looks lighter from the first angle, on
:15:19. > :15:22.the first angle it looks nasty. We don't have the exact angle from the
:15:22. > :15:26.referee's view. We can only assume he was blocked from the incident,
:15:26. > :15:30.he would have given a penalty. is at the end of the game and
:15:30. > :15:35.Vaughan is not happy at all. Shirt off, waiting in the tunnel, and
:15:35. > :15:41.common sense prevails, it is Holt in the end drags him off into the
:15:41. > :15:51.dressing room. Stkpwhrofs up for a RUC in the
:15:51. > :15:53.
:15:53. > :15:57.He was up for a ruck in the tunnel, he puts on Twitter that the plastic
:15:57. > :16:02.surgeon has fixed him up. It was a busy day for the referee,
:16:02. > :16:06.it was not just that incident, a few things you could debate? He had
:16:06. > :16:09.a few decisions to make. Referees do all the time. Did he get them
:16:09. > :16:13.right? He obviously didn't see the elbow, we will have to give him the
:16:13. > :16:17.benefit of the doubt for that. The penalty very, very harsh. When we
:16:17. > :16:22.see it first time, I said was there a push, but I think Reid goes to
:16:22. > :16:25.ground. You know him, don't you. You know's a strong lad. He is a
:16:25. > :16:29.strong lad, I think he was playing for that one. Morrison barely
:16:29. > :16:35.touches his back, as soon as he feels him he as down there. I think
:16:35. > :16:39.that's harsh. But he missed the penalty any way. This one, opposite
:16:39. > :16:45.way round. Reid on Morrison. And the Rugby World Cup and everything,
:16:45. > :16:50.and a good rugby tackle. I think he got that one right. He gave a foul
:16:50. > :16:57.and yellow card, he got that right. Busy day, one or two right, and one
:16:57. > :17:04.or two wrong. In rugby that is a sin bin, because it is a high
:17:04. > :17:14.tackle. But sticks to a yellow card. Brad there has been more penalties
:17:14. > :17:15.
:17:15. > :17:19.missed or saved in the Premier League season so far than scored.
:17:19. > :17:24.Declan Rudd doing well, having a week to think about your league
:17:24. > :17:29.debut is harder than coming in as a substitute. He stood his ground
:17:29. > :17:35.there. He gave him a clue as to wrefs going, he hit it with pace,
:17:35. > :17:40.it was in the corner, overall I think he did pretty well. Have you
:17:40. > :17:45.ever had a debut as successful as that? I have had a couple of debuts
:17:45. > :17:48.in my career, one or two good, one or two not. As for the game, he
:17:49. > :17:52.enjoyed watching it, it was a nice start for the day, what were the
:17:52. > :17:57.differences between the teams? think Norwich played really well.
:17:57. > :18:02.They knock the ball around really well, but you just think up front,
:18:02. > :18:05.Holt and Martin, have they the pace to get the goals the football
:18:05. > :18:09.deserves on the other side, Odemwingie coming back into the
:18:09. > :18:13.team. He's the difference. They weren't in the game that much, but
:18:13. > :18:17.they put the two centre back, Odemwingie, under pressure all the
:18:17. > :18:22.time, Barnet. There, ball over the top, this is the first couple of
:18:22. > :18:26.minutes, there is the threat. This is the goal, when you get your
:18:26. > :18:31.fullback and your centre back going into different directions it opens
:18:31. > :18:37.up the space for Odemwingie, he will run in there all day long. Not
:18:37. > :18:41.a great run, they make a mistake, first three minutes, 1-0 down. A
:18:41. > :18:47.good finish. But that is a mistake. Keeper has no chance. And they kept
:18:47. > :18:50.threatening that area. This, again, defensively. Three against two at
:18:50. > :18:57.the back, not a bad position. They drop off, they should go tight. If
:18:57. > :19:01.they go tight, or one of them. Now all of a sudden it is three versus
:19:01. > :19:08.two, no t one on one. Odemwingie will run all day on at you like.
:19:08. > :19:14.That he takes him down the wing, what a ball this is.
:19:14. > :19:19.This long ball, back four in a decent position, four versus two,
:19:19. > :19:24.no pressure, watch how quick it turns into a one versus one on one
:19:24. > :19:28.kick. Centre half goes in, all of a sudden, there it is one versus one
:19:28. > :19:33.again, straight from the goal kick. They play in the top team, some of
:19:33. > :19:38.the top teams will rip that defence to piece, they have to tighten up f
:19:38. > :19:45.they don't they will get punished. Going forward they did a decent job,
:19:45. > :19:48.they got a lot of crosses into the box. Morrison who put had wide,
:19:48. > :19:52.possibly should have scored near the end. Going down a goal earlier,
:19:52. > :19:56.I thought they played really well, they do knock the ball around, they
:19:56. > :20:00.will have to get that killer blow to win games in the Premier League.
:20:00. > :20:05.I like the way they play, I like the way Swansea knocked the ball
:20:05. > :20:08.around, we will see a different QPR team. I liked the way Blackpool
:20:08. > :20:12.knocked it about at the start of the season. They come and play
:20:12. > :20:16.football. It is good to see. don't think the Norwich fans want
:20:16. > :20:20.to hear the Blackpool analogy? is my point. A good start, so much
:20:20. > :20:25.more. We have August's goal of the month in a bit. As well as 19
:20:25. > :20:29.successful strikes from yesterday. Now to Craven Cottage, two more
:20:29. > :20:33.teams desperate for victory. There is a dark cloud hanging over these
:20:33. > :20:37.two, as Fulham and Blackburn search for their first wins. The londors
:20:37. > :20:41.have a Europa League hangover, group stage has been easy, but
:20:41. > :20:46.Premier League form hasn't. One point and one goal doesn't make
:20:46. > :20:51.Bosman, Martin, joly. Three losses in three is worse. Rovers manager,
:20:51. > :20:55.Steve Keane is feeling the pinch. Missing two spot kicks against
:20:55. > :21:05.Everton last time didn't help, he will look for a break in the clouds.
:21:05. > :21:11.
:21:11. > :21:21.The ray of sunshine is Jonathan papers predicting the sacking if
:21:21. > :21:21.
:21:21. > :22:27.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds
:22:27. > :22:35.of sacking Keane if they have just had men in support and didn't use
:22:36. > :22:42.them. Real opportunity this for Blackburn.
:22:42. > :22:45.Should have released there, but went for goal.
:22:45. > :22:55.He's confident enough about the future, needs time for his new

:24:42. > :24:49.contact with the player who had young Spaniard gets the goal.
:24:49. > :24:54.32 minutes gone, it is his first Premier League goal.
:24:54. > :25:00.Easy set up, too much space, Fulham stood off him, cracking drive.
:25:00. > :25:02.Really lovely left foot finish. Scored a couple of goals in the
:25:02. > :25:12.Carling Cup against Sheffield Wednesday last month, that is a
:25:12. > :25:22.
:25:22. > :25:32.doubt, scoring. Mis- benefit of the doubt, scoring.
:25:32. > :25:37.Zamora equalises. Blackburn's lead lasted six minutes.
:25:37. > :25:47.The goalkeeper needed to be far more decisive, lovely curling
:25:47. > :25:59.
:25:59. > :26:02.finish. First goal of the season way, the tackle was fair, in the
:26:02. > :26:06.end. Had he gone down earlier in the run
:26:06. > :26:16.he might have got a penalty, he stood on his feet and eventually
:26:16. > :26:20.
:26:20. > :26:30.had a nightmarish first half Givet, nightmare against Damien duff, in
:26:30. > :26:38.
:26:38. > :26:48.the decked half. He saved Blackburn there.
:26:48. > :27:05.
:27:05. > :27:15.That is a pensive Fulham manager, question of when Fulham get the
:27:15. > :27:24.
:27:24. > :27:34.pressed and thankful to Paul Robertson. Vintage Danny Murphy
:27:34. > :27:34.
:27:34. > :28:26.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds
:28:26. > :28:30.skill there, a hand strong by Paul late on in the counter-attack,
:28:30. > :28:37.after with standing so much second half pressure. He held and held,
:28:37. > :28:47.eventually passed it through. But full ham regrouped, forced
:28:47. > :28:55.
:28:55. > :29:05.GoodWillie into that session, and has saved Blackburn there.
:29:05. > :29:14.
:29:14. > :29:17.Paul Robertson caps a fine game in is back on hand, that is a very
:29:17. > :29:26.nasty collision. Right at the end, Hoilett bearing down on goal, the
:29:26. > :29:32.goalkeeper had to come. Who got there first. Kelly's header, happen
:29:32. > :29:41.hazard, Hoilett's - happen hazard, that is why he's complaining, he
:29:41. > :29:45.was caught later. There is a yellow card for Swartzer. Blackburn fans
:29:45. > :29:54.say he is lucky. It was a horrible, thickening thump as they came
:29:54. > :29:58.together. Applause from all sides of the
:29:58. > :30:03.ground. Hoilett is stretchered away.
:30:03. > :30:08.Whatever the result of the game t pales into incision when you see an
:30:08. > :30:11.injury like that. It was a bone shouldering horrible collision.
:30:11. > :30:16.Steve Keane's Blackburn, still without a win, but a very good
:30:16. > :30:24.point for them. It will relieve the early season pressure that has been
:30:24. > :30:28.heaped horribly on his head, 1-1. These two sides still looking for a
:30:28. > :30:32.first win. Great goals by Rochina and Zamora, but the injury
:30:32. > :30:37.sustained to Hoilett was a sad and controversial incident at the end.
:30:37. > :30:42.How is Junior Hoilett? He has three or four stitch, he's concussed, and
:30:42. > :30:49.was out for a while. He's back on his feet. I looked at it again, it
:30:49. > :30:53.was a nasty challenge, full credit to Junior, when you see Swartzer
:30:53. > :30:58.coming down the line, he went for it, he would have got it on the
:30:58. > :31:03.other side if there was no contact. Two fine saves from you? That is
:31:03. > :31:07.what I'm there for. I have been disappointed in the last few weeks
:31:07. > :31:12.without contributing, Everton game was disappointing. You can't bang
:31:12. > :31:17.your head against the wall to lose a penalty, but it is nice to be
:31:17. > :31:20.involved. Today we had three or four good chances, and six or seven
:31:20. > :31:24.situation where is we were in good positions. We wanted to take the
:31:24. > :31:29.pressure to them in the first half, we couldn't and did it in the
:31:29. > :31:33.second half. I feel we deserve more. We have played well this season and
:31:33. > :31:37.not got the result. We have played bad in games this season and not
:31:37. > :31:47.come away with nothing as well. The sooner we get a win, it will breed
:31:47. > :31:47.
:31:47. > :31:54.confidence and hopefully that will You are talking about the incident,
:31:54. > :31:58.it wasn't clear cut? It was pretty clear cut for me. It was a clear
:31:58. > :32:04.cut? The long ball came down, goal keeper in a good starter position,
:32:04. > :32:07.the ball gets headed up, his eyes were were on the ball, the whole
:32:07. > :32:12.time. Never once was going for Hoilett. You will see right here.
:32:12. > :32:17.He starts and he makes his mind up there, he's a touch laid, Hoilett
:32:17. > :32:22.gets to the ball first. There is two defenders there. Nothing
:32:22. > :32:27.malicious in it, it is not a red card for me. I don't necessarily
:32:27. > :32:34.see why there has to be a booking, but if it is the letter of the law
:32:34. > :32:39.that it has to be a booking, definitely a foul. Goalkeepers'
:32:39. > :32:42.union! I completely agree. Howard Webb got it spot on. He's observe,
:32:42. > :32:45.they both went for the ball, I don't think it was a red card, I
:32:45. > :32:50.think it was a good decision. Differences of opinion again from
:32:50. > :33:00.the managers, a fair result at the end of the day? I think fullham had
:33:00. > :33:06.
:33:06. > :33:12.more of the game for sure. A lot of the possession early in the game
:33:12. > :33:18.went to Damien Duff, the way he attacked, it was a problem for
:33:18. > :33:21.black. But I think the difference - for Blackburn. But I think the
:33:21. > :33:26.difference for the two teams, if you get the ball into the danger
:33:26. > :33:30.areas, and not in the net, sooner or later Blackburn will get back
:33:30. > :33:35.into the game. Damian Duff a lot of the ball in the first half, his
:33:35. > :33:39.left-footed play on the right thing, this happens a lot. We used to have
:33:39. > :33:43.Perz playing on right and left footed, Damien today went outside
:33:43. > :33:47.on to his weaker foot, and his crossing was poor. He gets the ball
:33:47. > :33:52.here, will he cut inside, he will go on the weaker right foot, lobs
:33:52. > :33:58.the ball up into the air. On the other side, Hoilett for Blackburn,
:33:58. > :34:03.you like this player, he's good, harp, sets up Rochina here, and you
:34:04. > :34:08.would say he should do better than this, he does a little bit later,
:34:08. > :34:13.as the ball comes to him again. What a finish this is, Hoilett
:34:13. > :34:20.plays the ball into him, gets the touch, bang, out of his feet, bang,
:34:20. > :34:26.left foot, spectacular. Would you have saved that? I would have
:34:26. > :34:30.tried! Would you! Would you have saved that? I said I would have
:34:30. > :34:35.tried. This is Blackburn at their best. Protecting the point. Look
:34:35. > :34:40.how many men they have there. Back five, two holding players, you have
:34:40. > :34:46.to say the way the they defended they deserved the point, Fulham
:34:46. > :34:50.from the possession they had it was a disappointing point for them.
:34:50. > :34:57.of your old clubs, a word on Blackburn, a different place in
:34:57. > :35:02.2011? When I went to Blackburn it was a fantastically family-
:35:02. > :35:06.orientated club. You put it down to the likes of John Williams, there
:35:06. > :35:10.was a certain amount of funds left there, but they had to run it a bit
:35:10. > :35:14.on the shoestring. They did a magnificent job of doing it, we
:35:14. > :35:22.always had good competitive squads. We couldn't extend it to the size
:35:22. > :35:28.of the squads that Manchester United and Arsenal at the time, we
:35:28. > :35:32.always were competitive. I hold the club in high regard. No goalless
:35:32. > :35:37.draws this weekend, worth staying up for a blast through every
:35:37. > :35:47.successful strike yesterday. Now August's goal of the month comes to
:35:47. > :35:47.
:35:47. > :38:39.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds
:38:39. > :38:44.We could add 20, they were the top eight. Straight on the spot, there
:38:44. > :38:50.is no point in waiting seven days, your goal of the month? I was going
:38:50. > :38:56.to pick Agbonlahor, but leaning towards Jecko's goal. Was that when
:38:56. > :39:01.I walked in. We should have a look again. I think the way he lulled
:39:01. > :39:10.you off your line was perfect. In there, come off your line there you
:39:10. > :39:14.go, good dive now. We are going to do dive of the month. He scored a
:39:14. > :39:18.great header in that game as well. Not to rub it in twice. When it
:39:18. > :39:24.left his boot, do you know the second it does it is in the corner?
:39:24. > :39:28.On that one you do. As you play many years you know your angles,
:39:28. > :39:32.when that left foot hit it, that was a decent goal, credit where
:39:32. > :39:37.credit is due. If you know it is in, why bother diving? You know you
:39:37. > :39:43.have to try. I always try. Congratulations for being involved
:39:43. > :39:46.in goal of the month. You're not getting a handshake for that one.
:39:46. > :39:50.You can watch Brad getting beaten against on the iPlayer as many
:39:50. > :40:00.times as you like on Tuesday. While you are there you can check this
:40:00. > :40:16.
:40:16. > :40:26.So to yesterday, kicking off with Manchester's red and blue, who
:40:26. > :40:33.
:40:33. > :40:43.A not so clever trial from Kevin Davies got Fergie seeing red, but
:40:43. > :40:45.
:40:45. > :40:55.no yellow card. Sir Alex would be Manchester United lead. Inside five
:40:55. > :41:22.
:41:22. > :41:32.minutes. It's Hernandez, making his Rooney waited, and he finds the
:41:32. > :41:32.
:41:33. > :41:36.bottom corner. Hernandez, it is blocked, and
:41:36. > :41:46.Bolton survive, despite the key stone cops element of that
:41:46. > :42:05.
:42:05. > :42:15.Drilled in my Carrick, it doesn't Rooney! Wayne Rooney completes his
:42:15. > :42:24.
:42:24. > :42:34.Carlos Tevez started his first game of the season with replacement
:42:34. > :42:59.
:42:59. > :43:07.Samir Nasri and came close to Carlos Tevez misses it. Make as
:43:07. > :43:17.mess of it. Tevez trying to play Richards in, Richards in, off the
:43:17. > :43:49.
:43:49. > :43:57.gets three. Manchester city are running away
:43:57. > :44:00.You have played against both sides this season, Brad, which is better?
:44:00. > :44:05.I still give the passing and movement one to Manchester United
:44:05. > :44:15.right now, however, in saying that, with the addition of Nasri to man
:44:15. > :44:15.
:44:15. > :44:20.City, they are a force as well, just to Manchester United for me.
:44:20. > :44:24.Premier League footballers may need to get their name down for the sofa.
:44:24. > :44:34.Yesterday Brad kept a clean sheet as his Spurs side travelled to
:44:34. > :44:34.
:44:34. > :45:43.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds
:45:43. > :45:52.Emmanuel Adebayor. You just knew it, didn't you.
:45:52. > :45:56.Defoe, 2-0 Spurs. That might be the killer goal as
:45:56. > :45:57.far as wolves are concerned. Did that feel like the start of the
:45:57. > :46:02.that feel like the start of the season proper yesterday?
:46:02. > :46:06.We needed to put the two games behind us, we were good for an hour
:46:06. > :46:16.against Manchester United and Man City, and dribs and drabs, we
:46:16. > :46:21.needed a good again, the mollin knew is a hard place to go. You had
:46:21. > :46:25.a bit of work to do, you didn't have a day off. First half a little
:46:26. > :46:31.bit, the second half was quieter, we had a lot more possession, we
:46:31. > :46:41.locked stronger and solid. It is always getting the three points.
:46:41. > :46:44.King was back? Yes, he played very well, Parky, you saw the goal there.
:46:44. > :46:48.You have a two-year contract, could you be playing Champions League's
:46:48. > :46:51.football next season? Absolutely, the squad has exceptional players
:46:51. > :46:55.there. There was so much speculation during the transfer
:46:55. > :46:59.window, we needed to get that to one side and we can folk cuss and
:46:59. > :47:04.win football matches. As a special guess tonight, the first English
:47:04. > :47:14.manager who tried to sign you was Brian Clough, you have been around
:47:14. > :47:42.
:47:42. > :47:47.for a while. Not only a left foot finish, but
:47:47. > :47:52.hair. At one time or another, that must have been a long time ago.
:47:52. > :47:55.Tell everybody who wants to know the secret of immortality, 40 years
:47:56. > :48:00.old, still at the top of your game, what is the secret of your success?
:48:00. > :48:04.The position I play is one. You know, there is no secret, we don't
:48:04. > :48:10.have to cover the kilometres that the outfield players do. I'm lucky
:48:10. > :48:15.in terms of injury, knock on wood. I do try to take care of myself.
:48:15. > :48:20.Diet is important, obviously, a lot of it is down to luck as well. With
:48:20. > :48:26.not getting injured. He had a chicken sandwich earlier without
:48:26. > :48:32.any bread or chicken, that is how he does it. I think he took
:48:32. > :48:40.everything good out of it. I thought my dad's all right. You get
:48:40. > :48:45.to 40 and the end of the Aston Villa contract, and now you have a
:48:45. > :48:50.two-year contract bringing you up to 42? I was offered a contract by
:48:50. > :48:56.a couple of different clubs, within I spoke to Terry at Tottenham, I
:48:56. > :49:00.wanted to be there, I had never been in London so the wife was
:49:00. > :49:03.happy. Speaking to all the clubs involved that was the right place
:49:03. > :49:07.to go. I would never sign a contract I didn't think I would
:49:07. > :49:13.fulfil, my body feels very good, I went through all the tests you go
:49:13. > :49:17.through. It's not bad. Feel good? just want to play football. I don't
:49:17. > :49:25.play for anything personalised at all, I just want to go out and try
:49:25. > :49:30.to help my team win. You were once described famously by Gordon
:49:30. > :49:33.Strachey as Superman, any one game that you remember? You hope as a
:49:33. > :49:37.professional footballer the next name will be the special memory. I
:49:37. > :49:40.have to say if I look back through an international career it would be
:49:40. > :49:43.making the quarter finals of the World Cup with the United States.
:49:43. > :49:47.We are not one of the world powers of football. We actually should
:49:47. > :49:50.have beaten Germany in the quarter final and get into the semifinals.
:49:50. > :49:54.That was a special time. I think when you get a chance to play for
:49:54. > :49:59.your country, and have a little bit of success in doing it, those are
:49:59. > :50:04.always special moments. What a tournament. You saved two penalties
:50:04. > :50:07.in it, the first time since 1974 a keeper did that. Do you know you
:50:08. > :50:12.are ranked as the fourth-greatest penalty saver in the world?
:50:12. > :50:17.didn't know that until a half an hour ago. Until I told you, don't
:50:17. > :50:22.give the secrets away? I didn't know. Over the years, especially
:50:22. > :50:29.during a spell at Blackburn, saving penalties was something that was
:50:29. > :50:32.happening more times than not. is number one? Somebody better.
:50:32. > :50:42.Good research. Four more games from yesterday. We are going to start
:50:42. > :50:50.
:50:50. > :51:00.with the stoke City side here on Peter Crouch started his first
:51:00. > :51:05.
:51:05. > :51:12.match in Stoke colours against one goes down, and Stoke City have a
:51:12. > :51:22.penalty. The man who was fouled has touched
:51:22. > :51:33.
:51:33. > :51:39.goal keeper makes a save. Henderson can't finish it, Adam can't either.
:51:39. > :51:49.He will try again. Begovic saves and Gordon Henderson must be
:51:49. > :51:50.
:51:50. > :51:54.wondering how he didn't score. They are appealing for hands
:51:54. > :52:04.against Matthew Upson. They are surrounding the referee and he
:52:04. > :52:11.
:52:11. > :52:15.hasn't given it. The goalkeeper, he lack of spending. But they weren't
:52:15. > :52:25.the only unhappy ones at Goodison Park. Phil Neville clearly wasn't
:52:25. > :52:28.
:52:28. > :52:38.impressed sitting on the Bevan. But Osman helped lift the blues.
:52:38. > :52:38.
:52:38. > :52:43.Osman there is the goal! Leighton Baines was denied a
:52:43. > :52:53.stonewall penalty right in front of the referee, Michael Oliver. To rub
:52:53. > :53:03.salt into the wounds, Petrov pulls one out of the top drawer.
:53:03. > :53:14.
:53:14. > :53:24.given this one. Leighton Baines, scores! Beautiful
:53:24. > :53:24.
:53:24. > :53:34.finish. Brighton's delivery, in by
:53:34. > :53:39.
:53:39. > :53:49.the �50 million man made himself comfortable on the bench, making
:53:49. > :54:10.
:54:10. > :54:20.six red and white shirts in the six-yard area, money of them
:54:20. > :54:31.
:54:32. > :54:35.keep it out. Daniel Sturridge's showboating was
:54:35. > :54:45.the final straw for some home fan, but the red and white tops on the
:54:45. > :54:46.
:54:46. > :54:56.pitch kept fighting. Ji Dong-Won, Sunderland have a
:54:56. > :55:23.
:55:23. > :55:30.consolation through the South deflection on the shot. Arshavin
:55:30. > :55:37.has scored. And some how Swansea city have presented a goal to
:55:37. > :55:42.Andrey Arshavin. Walcott's shot and Vaughan was off
:55:42. > :55:49.after it to prevent a corner, does that. And then it is a case of what
:55:49. > :55:59.happened next. Here is Sue Barker and there is Andrey Arshavin.
:55:59. > :56:07.
:56:07. > :56:13.That was the rest of the the action for yesterday, if you are out on
:56:13. > :56:16.Saturday we will set you right on Sunday. Here are the headlines from
:56:16. > :56:22.today's big games the West Brom got the better of Norwich
:56:22. > :56:32.in a battle. It was all square at craven cottage,
:56:32. > :56:57.
:56:57. > :57:04.Outside good son, a clown caught up in the fans' protest. Jonny Depp
:57:05. > :57:11.comes out as a Man City plan. AVB does his best James Brown
:57:11. > :57:15.impression. And news just in tonight. Balotelli, OK after being
:57:15. > :57:22.run over by a tractor. We discover what really put Peter Odemwingie
:57:22. > :57:27.off his penalty. Thanks for coming in. That's all
:57:27. > :57:31.from us, see you next Sunday. We leave you tonight in honour of our
:57:31. > :57:41.special guest, with a tribute to favourite Premier League granddad,
:57:41. > :57:49.all who played into their 40s, see who you can recognise.
