Hello everybody. We have highlights of two games made in the Midlands.

:00:58.:01:03.

Aston Villa face title-chasing Manchester City, and a passionate

:01:03.:01:09.

Black Country derby between Wolves and west Brom. Providing expert

:01:09.:01:19.
:01:19.:01:24.

analysis, the housewives's He is here, as is Lee Dixon. So

:01:24.:01:28.

much to get through, good and bad, including all the action from

:01:28.:01:36.

yesterday, and Goal Of The Month. Let's get straight to Molineux.

:01:36.:01:40.

Home is not where the heart is for Mick and his Wolves. They have lost

:01:40.:01:44.

their last three at Molineux, the most recent a 3-0 whipping by

:01:44.:01:49.

Liverpool. Their last home success was a 2-1 win over Sunderland two

:01:49.:01:53.

months ago, but a win over QPR last week will put them in confident

:01:53.:01:58.

mood. For Roy and his boys, Bairbre signifiers heartache. They haven't

:01:58.:02:03.

won a top-flight match in February since 2006. Last week they lost at

:02:03.:02:07.

home just one to, but there away form is good, with five wins coming

:02:07.:02:12.

on their travels. They won this basis of Derby's back in by October,

:02:12.:02:22.
:02:22.:02:25.

as Wolves try and dread West Brom into the dogfight at the bottom.

:02:25.:02:34.

Nick McCarthy has picked a positive team. -- Mick McCarthy. Sebastien

:02:34.:02:42.

Bassong makes his home debut. West Brom give a debut to Liam Ridgewell.

:02:42.:02:52.
:02:52.:03:29.

Paul Scharner is recalled in Jerome Thomas, denied. Point blank.

:03:29.:03:39.
:03:39.:03:44.

goalkeeper and defender. Ebanks- Blake, appealing for a nudge in the

:03:44.:03:54.
:03:54.:04:04.

Brom. A terrific save it from Wayne Hennessey. Odemwingie couldn't keep

:04:04.:04:12.

the rebound down. He just wasn't tractor. All the time in the world.

:04:12.:04:22.
:04:22.:04:35.

A decent stopped -- stop from Wayne single-handedly keeping West Brom

:04:35.:04:45.
:04:45.:05:05.

with the breakthrough for West Bromwich Albion. And Wolves must be

:05:05.:05:09.

thick of the side of him. He scores for the third Black Country derby

:05:09.:05:17.

running. And you have to say, it has been coming. The deflection

:05:17.:05:22.

played an important part, it came off Edwards, and it defected out of

:05:22.:05:32.
:05:32.:06:00.

the path of Wayne Hennessey. -- the stroke of half-time. The man

:06:01.:06:05.

who scored twice in the Derby at Molineux last season brings his

:06:05.:06:11.

team back on terms. And he started it all here. In it to Doyle, the

:06:11.:06:15.

flick from Thatcher, when he got it back from Ebanks-Blake, it was the

:06:16.:06:25.
:06:26.:06:26.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 48 seconds

:06:26.:07:14.

volley that beat Ben Foster. What a Hennessey. That was travelling. He

:07:14.:07:24.
:07:24.:07:40.

confusion in the Wolves back line. Did that Gulliver? It did! -- did

:07:40.:07:48.

that go Oliver? Jonas Olsson. West Brom are back in front. He was the

:07:48.:07:56.

one who headed it back originally. Wolves didn't clear. And when it

:07:57.:08:00.

came back to the skipper, Wayne Hennessey didn't hold it.

:08:00.:08:06.

Definitely over the line. It was an error by the keeper, who has been

:08:06.:08:16.
:08:16.:08:39.

Wolves. Lecture did really well to get something on that, that was

:08:39.:08:49.
:08:49.:09:14.

heading in. Magnificent agility What a 30 seconds. It ended with a

:09:14.:09:20.

Odemwingie, with time to try and guided in. That after Roger Johnson

:09:20.:09:30.
:09:30.:09:57.

was a whisker away. That is how might just have won it for West

:09:57.:10:07.
:10:07.:10:08.

Brom. Two for him, three for his team. Ridgewell wasn't picked up.

:10:08.:10:12.

What a way to end six Premier League games without a goal, two in

:10:12.:10:20.

the Black Country derby. And that one could well seal it. Jamie

:10:20.:10:25.

O'Hara on the line couldn't get there. That is what it means. Such

:10:25.:10:35.
:10:35.:10:52.

a fine line. It was a lick of paint Keith Andrews, with a debut goal

:10:52.:11:02.
:11:02.:11:09.

for West Brom, back at Molineux, a goal for him, the former Wolves

:11:09.:11:19.
:11:19.:11:23.

trainee. That took a deflection, as against Wolves, and this will be a

:11:23.:11:31.

very, very hard one to take. And some have seen enough already. This

:11:31.:11:41.
:11:41.:12:00.

is a horrible situation for Wolves It moved in the air. Foster

:12:01.:12:10.
:12:11.:12:36.

the match ball, and hat-trick for Peter Odemwingie! It is very much

:12:37.:12:41.

West Brom's day in the Black Country. Morrison, again the

:12:41.:12:44.

provider. Wayne Hennessey got a hand to it, but couldn't keep it

:12:44.:12:50.

out. Peter Odemwingie is the hat- trick hero. It is a thumping derby

:12:50.:12:56.

of win for West Brom. They will not want to remember the scoreline at

:12:56.:13:04.

What a win for the Baggies, their biggest win of the season over

:13:04.:13:10.

their greatest rivals. Peter Odemwingie, a hat-trick hero.

:13:10.:13:14.

the way through the first half, we played some really good football,

:13:14.:13:18.

if it hadn't been for their keeper making some outstanding saves, I

:13:18.:13:21.

thought we would have gone in with a considerable lead. We played as

:13:21.:13:25.

well in the second half as we did in the first, and this time, he

:13:25.:13:31.

couldn't give them all out. Hat- trick hero? I don't know what he

:13:31.:13:34.

did last night, but whatever it is, he wants to keep on doing it! He

:13:34.:13:38.

has been threatening those things, Peter. I have been looking forward

:13:38.:13:41.

to a hat-trick in the Premier League, it is difficult to get that.

:13:41.:13:48.

Of course, the bonus I get is that this hat-trick will be in the minds

:13:48.:13:52.

about supporters for a long time. If we are winning away from home it

:13:52.:13:58.

is good, I don't care where, as long as we're winning. This was

:13:58.:14:01.

Wolves's had used to beat of the season and their 4th successive

:14:01.:14:10.

I thought we capitulated, which I have never seen that my team do,

:14:10.:14:16.

not really. They were the better side in the end. Very poor

:14:16.:14:21.

performance. Apologies all round to the fans. Is that the big worry,

:14:21.:14:28.

the way they caved in? Yes. That is not us. I have spoken about it. I

:14:28.:14:35.

have never, ever apologised for a performance, but I will do for that.

:14:35.:14:41.

It is deja-vu again. If you want someone in the trenches, it is Mick

:14:41.:14:43.

McCarthy and more power to his elbow for what he said after the

:14:43.:14:48.

game. I have never seen him like that before. He has said they have

:14:48.:14:52.

had some heroic defeats over the last few weeks and performances

:14:52.:14:56.

have not been too bad, but they keep getting beaten. Today he

:14:56.:15:00.

looked a broken man after the game and rightly so. His team were well

:15:00.:15:05.

and truly beaten by a magnificent West Brom. As far as Wolves are

:15:05.:15:09.

concerned, their home record is a big worry. Lost five in all

:15:09.:15:13.

competitions at home this year. You can't see where their next win is

:15:13.:15:18.

coming from. When the manager is down like that, that normally means

:15:18.:15:21.

the players are looking for inspiration. It was chalk and

:15:21.:15:25.

cheese because West Brom looked up for it from the whistle. Straight

:15:25.:15:29.

from the first whistle, they passed forward, ran forward and they

:15:29.:15:31.

forward, ran forward and they created chances straight away.

:15:31.:15:35.

Jerome Thomas should have scored early on. Roy Hodgson normally

:15:35.:15:41.

plays 4-4-2, but they went to 4-3-3. Jerome Thomas and Odemwingie cause

:15:41.:15:47.

them problems. Odemwingie ran at the defence and the key to this

:15:47.:15:55.

performance was they got players in the box to score. He led the line

:15:55.:15:59.

brilliantly, up front, For June. He was outstanding. On the right you

:15:59.:16:03.

have Odemwingie pulling the strings. He was injured earlier in the

:16:03.:16:08.

season and they really his stimp. He is what Yakubu is to Blackburn.

:16:09.:16:14.

Exactly. He is training regularly, playing with the rhythm. West Brom

:16:14.:16:18.

had all 11 players behind the ball. This was a perfect counter attack.

:16:19.:16:25.

This summed up the game for West Brom. Fortune breaking. It was a

:16:25.:16:29.

great day for West Brom. I think that three points has taken them

:16:29.:16:36.

away from the drop zone. Absolutely. Home is meant to be your fortress.

:16:36.:16:43.

Getting back to Wolves, December fourth since their last home win. A

:16:43.:16:47.

faction in the crowd gets angry. is important that you keep your

:16:47.:16:52.

territory. You don't drop too deep, don't drop off in the box and that

:16:52.:16:56.

is what Wolves did. Every time they got the ball, they passed it, but

:16:56.:17:00.

when they lost it, they dropped off. When you do that at home,

:17:00.:17:06.

especially against a team playing like West Brom, they attack. Foley,

:17:06.:17:12.

right back, why is the art there. Too easy for the forwards. Stay out

:17:12.:17:20.

of the box. Johnson with A fortune. He should be on the edge of the box.

:17:20.:17:25.

In the end they got away with that one. This is unbelievable. Look at

:17:25.:17:30.

the distance between the centre- back, Bassong, and the left-back.

:17:30.:17:34.

Yes, you should say the runner should stay with Odemwingie, but

:17:34.:17:39.

when he plays the ball off, look at the Gatt. He runs into it. Bassong

:17:39.:17:46.

doesn't come over. Unbelievable. You're in big trouble when your

:17:46.:17:50.

back four is in this position. Bassong has to come to fight over.

:17:50.:17:59.

That leaves Marc-Antoine Fortune a in the middle. They regrouped, pass

:17:59.:18:03.

the ball out to the right wing. Look at the Wolves players. Six of

:18:03.:18:09.

them. They all run back today. They should be holding the line. Don't

:18:09.:18:13.

give space in front of the 18 yard box. Odemwingie cuts in on his left

:18:13.:18:19.

foot. Look how deep Wolves are. It is simple defending and it is about

:18:19.:18:24.

leaders are making sure you push back. Derby day nightmares. Phil,

:18:24.:18:29.

you first. What comes into your mind. I have been sent off in two

:18:29.:18:33.

Merseyside derbies and we have lost both times. It is all about the

:18:33.:18:36.

fans and it hurts the players as much as the fans, you feel like you

:18:36.:18:42.

have let them down. Lee, if you can think back 40 years, what was the

:18:42.:18:48.

Derby Day nightmare? Semi-final against Tottenham. At Wembley. Paul

:18:48.:18:57.

Gascoigne. We will get a clip out! Our second match from the Midlands

:18:57.:19:01.

now and two sides in need of three points for different reasons.

:19:01.:19:04.

Robbie Keane arrived from the distant Galaxy and hit the ground

:19:04.:19:07.

running - three goals in the league already during his brief loan from

:19:07.:19:12.

soccerworld shows he's still got it. But that celeb is looking a bit old,

:19:12.:19:15.

mate. Consistently inconsistent Villa need a good home show from

:19:15.:19:18.

everyone today. Man City's league performances have been mainly out

:19:18.:19:21.

of this world and very much Planet Hollywood. Etihad form is flawless,

:19:21.:19:24.

as proved in last week's stroll against Fulham. But on the road,

:19:24.:19:27.

wins have been a problem, with just two coming since November. Last

:19:27.:19:31.

time, Everton did for them, so will they be heroes or villains today?

:19:31.:19:41.
:19:41.:19:47.

City's last game, Manchester United have played twice. In cities dreams,

:19:47.:19:52.

United lost at Chelsea and dropped points to Liverpool. City's reality

:19:52.:19:55.

is they going to this one off the top of the table and with the

:19:55.:19:59.

pressure on them. The gap between Aston Villa and the bottom three

:19:59.:20:03.

was cut to seven points yesterday. James Collins and Marc Albrighton

:20:03.:20:08.

return. Emile Heskey makes his first start since Boxing Day in the

:20:08.:20:11.

Premier League and Carlos Cuellar plays at left-back for the first

:20:11.:20:17.

time in his Villa career. City have Vincent Kompany back, Adam Johnson

:20:17.:20:19.

starts successive Premier League games for the first time since

:20:19.:20:29.
:20:29.:20:48.

October. Zabaleta and Nilmar also bells were ringing for Villa. Not a

:20:48.:20:53.

brilliant clearing header by Collins. Lovely chest control by

:20:53.:20:56.

Sergio Aguero. A rasping right- footed shot which she really got

:20:56.:21:06.
:21:06.:21:26.

Barry! David Silva, had he touched it, he may well have been offside.

:21:26.:21:31.

Shay Given made the save anyway. It would have been interesting to see

:21:31.:21:40.

if David Silva had flicked that in, surely the flag would have gone up.

:21:40.:21:44.

Dunne behind for a corner. I don't know if Milner was trying to pass

:21:44.:21:49.

or Shroot. One sure he will reflect he should have put his laces

:21:49.:21:59.
:21:59.:22:06.

through that and try to stick it in McLeish is jotting that down. The

:22:06.:22:16.
:22:16.:22:25.

corner was hardly a work of genius, outside of the post. He is so good

:22:25.:22:35.
:22:35.:23:00.

at that. Unleashed it left-footed. senior goal on this ground for

:23:00.:23:04.

Manchester City in an FA Cup tie a few years ago. His post-match

:23:04.:23:08.

interview went down in history! Hutton got a touch on it and Heskey

:23:08.:23:16.

put it behind. A good corner. The flick on was ever so dangerous,

:23:16.:23:21.

Hutton blocked it and Heskey got it away. You can probably find that

:23:21.:23:27.

Micah Richards interview on YouTube if you want. A foul by Bent. Darren

:23:28.:23:32.

Bent apologising or protesting his innocence. The free-kick has been

:23:32.:23:39.

given. A good position. He doesn't look that interested, Mancini!

:23:39.:23:49.
:23:49.:23:50.

David Silva and James Milner over much too much contact on it. If

:23:50.:23:55.

Lescott had got a glance on this rather than the full meat of his

:23:55.:23:59.

forehead, Manchester City might have been in front. It turned into

:23:59.:24:03.

a clearing header. He has got a couple of goals this season, Joleon

:24:03.:24:13.
:24:13.:24:45.

got his hands up. A good strike by It was an inviting ball in by

:24:46.:24:52.

Kolarov. Hard and low. A diagonal right in front of Shay Given. What

:24:52.:24:55.

you might call a corridor of uncertainty if you were Geoff

:24:55.:25:04.

Boycott! A lovely dummy by Adam Johnson. Petrov stuck his foot out.

:25:04.:25:10.

Free-kick. This time it is a yellow card for Petrov. A lovely dummy by

:25:10.:25:15.

Johnson got David Silva a way. The first yellow card of the game.

:25:15.:25:22.

Kolarov and David Silva over this. Aleksandar Kolarov leaves it. It is

:25:23.:25:26.

behind for a corner kick off the top of the head of James Collins.

:25:26.:25:31.

If he had left it, Shay Given might have courted, but he could not take

:25:31.:25:41.
:25:41.:25:43.

touched in by Joleon Lescott! Manchester City in front and Julian

:25:43.:25:49.

Lescott get the goal. -- Joleon Lescott. It is hardly vintage, but

:25:49.:25:58.

the celebrations tell you how important it is. Joleon Lescott.

:25:59.:26:04.

That could be the goal to restore Manchester City's cushion at the

:26:04.:26:10.

top of the table. Gareth Barry with a header back across goal. Lescott

:26:10.:26:17.

given too much room. And just when Manchester City were beginning to

:26:17.:26:25.

worry, Joleon Lescott puts them in front. City joy. Lescott to do

:26:25.:26:35.

Jong... -- Nigel de Jong. A big appeal for handball. Manchester

:26:35.:26:43.

City are absolutely certain that hit Hutton's hand. Well, it might

:26:43.:26:47.

have been a little harsh, but his left arm was moving in the

:26:47.:26:57.
:26:57.:27:09.

Aston Villa. Three minutes of normal time to go. Quaye are! Free

:27:09.:27:13.

header! That might be the opportunity they have waited all

:27:13.:27:20.

day to create. A free header for Carlos Cuellar. And the real let-

:27:20.:27:25.

off for Manchester City. They may not get a better chance than that.

:27:25.:27:35.
:27:35.:27:42.

Vincent Kompany let it go. City look a very promising Paul, but

:27:42.:27:47.

with Collins making the run, Kolarov had a problem. -- promising

:27:47.:27:57.
:27:57.:28:09.

brilliant reactions. Still just get the sense that Aston Villa could

:28:09.:28:19.
:28:19.:28:20.

still do something in this game. Hart comes. Good fist. He was

:28:20.:28:24.

clattered and immediately it is Richard Dunne that they are calling

:28:24.:28:29.

to get treatment on four. City were actually awarded a free-kick. Look

:28:30.:28:35.

at Dunne falling. The bigger they come, the harder they fall and he

:28:35.:28:40.

is a big man. He has obviously fallen on that right shoulder. I

:28:40.:28:50.
:28:50.:28:58.

hope it is not dislocated. That is hands! Robbie Keane was kneeling on

:28:58.:29:04.

to it. Having made a brilliant save to deny Aston Villa, he nearly gave

:29:04.:29:12.

City take the points and go back on top. They had to win ugly, but that

:29:12.:29:16.

will not bother Roberto Mancini. What will bother Alex McLeish is

:29:16.:29:20.

his club's poor form. They have not won at home in the Premier League

:29:20.:29:26.

since November, and I site on the slide. We certainly gave everything.

:29:26.:29:31.

The Aston Villa fans expect the players to sweat blood. They did

:29:31.:29:37.

that. They had only one chance, and Joe Hart is there for this, he is

:29:37.:29:42.

one of the best keepers in Europe, he is young, I think he can improve

:29:42.:29:48.

the lot, but he did a good job today. You have been talking about

:29:48.:29:56.

the silent majority and a noisy minority. It is fashionable. But a

:29:56.:30:00.

bit of a phenomenon, I would rather see them supporting the team, if

:30:00.:30:05.

they don't fancy me at the moment, or if they ever do, that is not in

:30:05.:30:09.

my control. What is in my control is to try and get the best out of

:30:09.:30:13.

these lads. Can ask your point of view about Carlos Tevez? You have

:30:13.:30:16.

been talking about the possibility about him playing for Manchester

:30:16.:30:23.

City. He is a Manchester City player, we are here, we are waiting,

:30:23.:30:29.

he knows the situation. For us, it is not a problem, if Carlos comes

:30:29.:30:33.

back, we are happy. Psychologically, how important is it possible to

:30:33.:30:41.

have that age on United? Do you what -- watch their games? Yes, but

:30:41.:30:45.

I have learned how to watch their games, now I do not even hope for

:30:45.:30:49.

anything, I have watched as a neutral. When they lose, I don't

:30:49.:30:53.

celebrate, when they win, it doesn't keep me awake at night. We

:30:53.:30:58.

have huge self-belief, and every game, we go into it, we know we can

:30:58.:31:05.

put down a result, and it is up to You one mini league titles at

:31:05.:31:08.

Manchester United, you played Greg Bird ball, but when you didn't, you

:31:08.:31:14.

got the result, signs of that with Manchester City. 100%. For all of a

:31:14.:31:18.

great football, two out of the last three away wins have been with a

:31:18.:31:27.

have been proud of that move. He tried to the last Collins. A great

:31:27.:31:33.

finish. He is your mate, of course, from Everton. But you fancy himself

:31:33.:31:38.

up front? Yes, the little by the side and he used to always go up

:31:38.:31:43.

front, he really fancied himself as a striker -- little five-a-side. He

:31:43.:31:52.

scored a lot of goals at Aston He had a bit of a run at Everton.

:31:52.:31:59.

Corners and everything. The manager, been a centre half, challenges the

after watching United, what about at the bottom? Would they have been

about the top all the time, saying it doesn't affect the players at

the top, but it affects all players. You have to be strong. Sometimes at

the bottom, there is so much nervousness, so much at stake if

you drop out of the Premiership, they can get affected more. In

theory, the more mentally strong players are playing for the better

teams anyway, so you would affect - - expect that. Did you get a table

:32:49.:32:51.

to say that they will not be watching that Aston Villa game

:32:51.:32:56.

hoping that Wolves would do them a favour. West Brom played well and

:32:56.:33:03.

scored by, and Aston Villa slipped down before they even kicked a ball.

:33:03.:33:06.

Alex mission -- McLeish is right about them sweating blood, I must

:33:06.:33:11.

ask you about Joe Hart. When keepers do very little by 85

:33:11.:33:15.

minutes and they are called on just once, it can be the difference

:33:15.:33:25.
:33:25.:33:29.

Brilliant save from Bent. It is almost behind him, he scoops it

:33:29.:33:35.

from behind the line. Unfortunately, Richard Dunne gets a dislocated

:33:35.:33:41.

shoulder in this injury. But as a centre-back and defender, that is

:33:41.:33:47.

what you're -- you want your keeper to do. He has this humility and

:33:47.:33:51.

generosity. He goes and give to show it a way to the Aston Villa

:33:51.:33:57.

fans, and he is a very, very good keeper. Still down, though.

here in your list? Prospective England captain? I am not a fan of

:34:18.:34:18.

goalkeepers... In general? I think You would be looking at somebody

:34:18.:34:23.

who is almost guaranteed a spot, he is up there with Steven Gerrard and

:34:23.:34:28.

Wayne Rooney. Thinking about those three goalkeepers, do you want to

:34:28.:34:36.

clarify, I don't like goalkeepers? They are all mad! I have played

:34:36.:34:39.

with a crazy keeper, every goal that goes in, I just blame the

:34:39.:34:47.

keeper, it is easier. It was never David Seaman's fault! Going back to

:34:47.:34:52.

Joe hard, I think you can be the captain of England, it is almost

:34:52.:34:57.

like a badge of honour. I think in an international team, you have six

:34:57.:35:03.

or seven captains, so I do Dugit is that important. Before we moved on,

you're allowed to avoid only one question, this might be it.

:35:07.:35:12.

Manchester United or city for the title? Or I'm still going with

Manchester United. I think they are just clicking into gear, they have

the experience. People might say I am biased, but I have been there,

they are ready to up the ante and kick on from now. It I will balance

the argument! Europe now to avoid one question, do you think Phil

Neville is biased? Yes. We will look back at yesterday's goals and

should clarify this. Your goal came in February. We were not able to

get this in, but it was a cracker. You know when I said I don't like

:39:54.:40:02.

goalkeepers? That his wife. -- that his wife. We begin with are to be

:40:02.:40:06.

the most talked-about incident of the season, and that is saying

:40:06.:40:15.

Events on the pitch at Old Trafford were overshadowed by actions, or

:40:15.:40:20.

lack of them, before a ball had been kicked. All cameras were fixed

:40:20.:40:24.

on Suarez and Evra for their first meeting since the Uruguay's eight-

:40:24.:40:28.

match ban. An opportunity for a line to be drawn, but an

:40:28.:40:36.

opportunity missed and a handshake refused. It was inevitably a

:40:36.:40:46.
:40:46.:41:20.

good decision. Tensions were running high at the break, and

:41:20.:41:30.
:41:30.:41:35.

disappointingly, but ball seemed to deadlock. Within one 1/2 minutes of

:41:35.:41:45.
:41:45.:41:53.

Manchester United on a plate. That man was trying his best to keep the

:41:53.:41:57.

ball on the back pages, but with 10 minutes to go, only one man was

:41:57.:42:07.
:42:07.:42:16.

Adam, just link up position. -- jostling for position. A splendid

:42:16.:42:20.

save. So Manchester United take three points, but nobody was

:42:20.:42:29.

Let's make it quite simple. A player was found guilty of racially

:42:29.:42:34.

abusing another, and then refused to shake his hand. Is that as low

:42:34.:42:40.

as it gets? I think so. I think there is a huge responsibility on

:42:40.:42:44.

Liverpool Football Club, and Suarez, to take action from yesterday. What

:42:44.:42:49.

happened yesterday was unacceptable. I think people have realised that

:42:49.:42:53.

at the club, and they have had discussions about it, and now they

:42:53.:42:58.

are coming back and now there is an apology from everybody, the club,

:42:58.:43:02.

Dalglish and Suarez. So hopefully we have moved along, but what

:43:02.:43:06.

happened yesterday was out of order. I think everybody at Liverpool

:43:06.:43:10.

Football Club realises that now, but it shouldn't have happened. It

:43:10.:43:13.

shouldn't have got to that. Agreement was made to shake the

:43:13.:43:18.

hand and he didn't. He has got to be ashamed of his behaviour. He has

:43:18.:43:23.

come out and apologised today. will have a look at those in a

:43:23.:43:26.

minute. If you were in the Liverpool squad, what would you

:43:26.:43:30.

have done over the last couple of months? I think as captain, you

:43:30.:43:34.

would want to publicly protect your player. You treat him as you would

:43:34.:43:39.

your children. Privately comedy would have to let him know of the

:43:39.:43:42.

responsibilities, the history of the club, what is expected. Lee

said it before, there is nothing worse than you being questioned by

a fellow team-mate or your manager, and now Suarez has to get on, play

:44:24.:44:30.

in his interview afterwards that he had not shaken hands with him. The

:44:30.:44:35.

had not shaken hands with him. The powers that be, the chief executive

:44:35.:44:38.

has said this has to stop. It should have happened before. But at

the Sky television interviewer and he has apologised for that. Does

:45:00.:45:05.

that goes some way to repairing the damage? We need to draw a line

under this. The Liverpool manager felt let down because he had

Let's get back to the football and three more dramatic matches from

pride, but the day was all about Harry.

:47:20.:47:25.

It was a fairy-tale finish for Henry and three points for Arsenal.

:47:25.:47:28.

But first Theo Walcott had Arsenal's best opening of the first

:47:28.:47:34.

half. And big decisions just weren't going Sunderland's way.

:47:34.:47:39.

Szczesny was in spectacular form to deny Craig Gardner. Cut out by

tackles you can and can't make? tackles you can and can't make?

don't think it is confusing. Did you go in with your studs up, it

has a red card, with two feet, it has a red card. If you tackle from

:50:09.:50:15.

behind, you risk a red card. We are made aware of that. If it is fifty-

fifty, get on with it. It is fine City on a chair saying that, but

when you're in the heat of it, it can boil over. There was a little

starting on the bench. Did you have to fight for your place in the

team? You must be thrilled to have done that then you Wohlfahrt --

part of these games. 100%. We lost the first game of the season

:50:39.:50:43.

against QPR. We won at QPR -- Blackburn but we should have

:50:43.:50:48.

conceded a few goals. I deserved to be dropped. Tony Hibbert came in

:50:48.:50:52.

and played well and I did not deserve to be back in the team.

:50:52.:50:56.

That is the way football is. Because of my experience I knew I

:50:56.:51:00.

would probably get a chance again. It was about setting the right

:51:00.:51:05.

example and training hard. How long do you want to play for? If you are

part of the United team, you have to play until you are 60! Well, you

know, I am not that good at anything else so I want to keep

job at the moment, but I'm sure deep down he is really, really

:51:56.:52:00.

excited because he will get offered the job. If he doesn't, there's

:52:00.:52:05.

something really wrong. He is the only man, I think, to move the team

on. He would take over the England team with low expectation levels

himself in a face-off with Damien Duff. -- Thomas Sorensen.

:54:52.:54:56.

Shawcross! There is the goal for Stoke City. Peter Crouch conspired

to miss the target from very close indeed. At the other end, Clint

Dempsey did all the hard work before fluffing his lines.

Wigan are still rooted to the bottom of the table, but three

Wigan. James McArthur could not capitalise and Victor Moses had

some good work before Bolton hit back. What a strike! What a strike
