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 | :31:59. | :32:06. | |
centre-backs to score five to 10 a season. As for Aston Villa, I am | :32:06. | :32:08. | |
just wandering, we talk about Manchester City needed three points | :32:08. | :32:13. | |
after watching United, what about at the bottom? Would they have been | :32:14. | :32:18. | |
influenced by the result for West Brom? That can be a factor. We talk | :32:18. | :32:21. | |
about the top all the time, saying it doesn't affect the players at | :32:22. | :32:26. | |
the top, but it affects all players. You have to be strong. Sometimes at | :32:26. | :32:30. | |
the bottom, there is so much nervousness, so much at stake if | :32:30. | :32:35. | |
you drop out of the Premiership, they can get affected more. In | :32:35. | :32:38. | |
theory, the more mentally strong players are playing for the better | :32:38. | :32:44. | |
teams anyway, so you would affect - - expect that. Did you get a table | :32:44. | :32:49. | |
out and work out where free. Are going to get you? There is nothing | :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. | :33:57. | :34:02. | |
current world champions had a care Casillas as their captain. Where is | :34:02. | :34:08. | |
here in your list? Prospective England captain? I am not a fan of | :34:08. | :34:18. | |
: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, | :35:03. | :35:07. | |
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 | :35:12. | :35:16. | |
Manchester United. I think they are just clicking into gear, they have | :35:16. | :35:21. | |
the experience. People might say I am biased, but I have been there, | :35:21. | :35:26. | |
they are ready to up the ante and kick on from now. It I will balance | :35:26. | :35:32. | |
the argument! Europe now to avoid one question, do you think Phil | :35:32. | :35:39. | |
Neville is biased? Yes. We will look back at yesterday's goals and | :35:39. | :35:42. | |
incidents and we will update you on developments surrounding Luis | :35:42. | :35:52. | |

to be happy, but it will be sitting This was a goal and a half. To be | :39:30. | :39:35. | |
fair, a lot of great goals this last month. That finish! He just | :39:35. | :39:40. | |
get it from Craig Gardner. I know you might be offended, but we | :39:40. | :39:45. | |
should clarify this. Your goal came in February. We were not able to | :39:45. | :39:54. | |
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 | :43:42. | :43:46. | |
said it before, there is nothing worse than you being questioned by | :43:46. | :43:51. | |
a fellow team-mate or your manager, and now Suarez has to get on, play | :43:51. | :44:01. | |
:44:01. | :44:06. | ||
football, and put in the past. This is his statement. Things were | :44:06. | :44:16. | |
:44:16. | :44:24. | ||
set in place for him yesterday for Dalglish looked genuinely surprised | :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 | :44:39. | :44:43. | |
least we have moved a little bit. It might have come from higher rut. | :44:43. | :44:48. | |
Of their work editorial pieces Of their work editorial pieces | :44:48. | :44:49. | |
written on this in the New York Times and it starts affecting | :44:49. | :44:56. | |
sponsorship and foreign investment. Kenny Dalglish had a run-in with | :44:56. | :45:00. | |
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 | :45:05. | :45:09. | |
under this. The Liverpool manager felt let down because he had | :45:09. | :45:13. | |
protected Luis Suarez for the last three months, so had the players, | :45:13. | :45:15. | |
and yesterday he felt he had let and yesterday he felt he had let | :45:15. | :45:23. | |
him down. Just a quick point. I'm in the pub with my mates and the | :45:23. | :45:28. | |
majority -- the minority of modern- day players give you a bad name. I | :45:29. | :45:32. | |
guarantee there are people going, modern-day footballer, can't | :45:32. | :45:36. | |
connect. That is the weight of the modern world. You will not get | :45:36. | :45:40. | |
everybody perfect. There are thousandths of footballers around | :45:40. | :45:43. | |
the world and that is just one incident. We do get tarnished at | :45:43. | :45:46. | |
times and we have to live with it. times and we have to live with it. | :45:46. | :45:49. | |
Let's get back to the football and three more dramatic matches from | :45:49. | :45:53. | |
yesterday. We will begin at White Hart Lane and a win that Harry will | :45:54. | :46:03. | |

four. Kranjcar! It is. The goals After setting up the first four, | :47:09. | :47:16. | |
finally one of his own. Once again, Demba Ba came close to rescuing | :47:16. | :47:20. | |
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 | :47:39. | :47:46. | |

special guest. That was well intercepted by Pienaar. Pienaar! | :48:37. | :48:42. | |

guests are more. Great deflection. -- but a up. Lampard! The best | :48:51. | :49:01. | |
:49:01. | :49:05. | ||
chance of the days so far for Stracqualursi! 2-0. Sheer | :49:05. | :49:09. | |
determination created that goal and in particular their captain, Phil | :49:09. | :49:15. | |
Neville. Look at that for a challenge on Ashley Cole. Donovan | :49:15. | :49:19. | |
slipped it into Stracqualursi and Cech could not keep out his right- | :49:19. | :49:29. | |
:49:29. | :49:29. | ||
footed effort. A chance for Lukaku. A good save by Tim Howard. The | :49:29. | :49:32. | |
first time the Everton goalkeeper has been called upon today for top | :49:32. | :49:37. | |
a happy place right now. massive victories. Particularly | :49:37. | :49:39. | |
massive victories. Particularly after the first half of the season. | :49:39. | :49:44. | |
Nobody expected it. We have belief back and that has come from the | :49:44. | :49:49. | |
signings we have made. He has instilled belief in even the | :49:49. | :49:54. | |
biggest doubters. I want to show you this tackle again. Playing this | :49:54. | :49:58. | |
season, is there are cleaner -- clear line, do you know what | :49:58. | :50:00. | |
tackles you can and can't make? tackles you can and can't make? | :50:00. | :50:04. | |
don't think it is confusing. Did you go in with your studs up, it | :50:04. | :50:09. | |
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- | :50:15. | :50:19. | |
fifty, get on with it. It is fine City on a chair saying that, but | :50:19. | :50:24. | |
when you're in the heat of it, it can boil over. There was a little | :50:24. | :50:26. | |
can boil over. There was a little period this season when you were | :50:26. | :50:29. | |
starting on the bench. Did you have to fight for your place in the | :50:29. | :50:33. | |
team? You must be thrilled to have done that then you Wohlfahrt -- | :50:33. | :50:39. | |
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 | :51:05. | :51:10. | |
part of the United team, you have to play until you are 60! Well, you | :51:10. | :51:14. | |
know, I am not that good at anything else so I want to keep | :51:14. | :51:18. | |
playing. You are good at this extract this is a late night for me. | :51:18. | :51:21. | |
I want to play for another two or three years. I love playing | :51:21. | :51:25. | |
football and in the Premier League. The atmosphere is incredible. I | :51:25. | :51:30. | |
enjoy it as much as ever. You have given us the league champions, | :51:30. | :51:35. | |
United, your England captain. Who is your England manager? | :51:35. | :51:39. | |
obvious choice is Harry Redknapp. thought you would say Lee Dixon! | :51:39. | :51:44. | |
Management is not for me. We all knew that. What a week it is for | :51:44. | :51:53. | |
him. He has had a week to remember. He is trying to dismiss the England | :51:53. | :51:56. | |
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 | :52:05. | :52:11. | |
on. He would take over the England team with low expectation levels | :52:11. | :52:15. | |
going into a tournament. It is the perfect job for him. First time in | :52:15. | :52:25. | |

-- four more games from yesterday. The Canaries soared into 8th place | :52:32. | :52:42. | |

what the best keepers in the Premier League were brilliant once | :53:32. | :53:39. | |
again. Two of the best keepers. Not to be out done, Ruddy played his | :53:39. | :53:44. | |
part. Having scored two goals, Grant Holt blotted his copybook by | :53:44. | :53:54. | |

giving away a penalty. Can Danny Graham puller goal back? Yes! 3-2. | :53:55. | :53:59. | |

Not easy to pronounce, but for them's Russia and put our | :54:08. | :54:13. | |
commentator through his paces by scoring on his paces. Fulham have | :54:13. | :54:21. | |
plenty of white shirts Wakelin. -- waiting. Pogrebnyak! A dream start | :54:21. | :54:26. | |
for the Russian. It clearly had not taken him long to settle into | :54:26. | :54:34. | |
Premier League life. Dempsey! It is a second goal for Fulham. It is | :54:34. | :54:38. | |
claimed by a Clint Dempsey, but I think that and will go down as a | :54:38. | :54:41. | |
Thomas Sorensen own goal. Even Clint Dempsey would be able to | :54:42. | :54:47. | |
claim that. But a terrific shot. Dorrell has Sorensen would redeem | :54:47. | :54:52. | |
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 | :54:57. | :55:04. | |
to miss the target from very close indeed. At the other end, Clint | :55:04. | :55:09. | |
Dempsey did all the hard work before fluffing his lines. | :55:09. | :55:12. | |
Wigan are still rooted to the bottom of the table, but three | :55:13. | :55:16. | |
points at Bolton mean they have closed the gap to the Trotters to | :55:16. | :55:23. | |
just a single point. A goal! Gary Caldwell, the captain, delivers for | :55:23. | :55:29. | |
Wigan. James McArthur could not capitalise and Victor Moses had | :55:29. | :55:34. | |
some good work before Bolton hit back. What a strike! What a strike | :55:34. | :55:42. | |
from Mark Davies. Mark Davies says I will have that and it is as | :55:42. | :55:52. | |
:55:52. | :55:53. | ||
greener. -- a screen. Victim Moses for Wigan, but in from the rebound | :55:53. | :56:03. | |
:56:03. | :56:09. | ||
save. Starkey described it as possibly the worst first-half | :56:09. | :56:13. | |
display by any team he has ever been involved with. Not a happy | :56:13. | :56:23. | |
:56:23. | :56:40. | ||
return to his own -- old stomping in! Could it be game over with | :56:40. | :56:47. | |
half-time not yet upon us? That was a shot by Pedersen but it ended at | :56:47. | :56:57. | |
:56:57. | :57:04. | ||
come on. Taarabt tried to drag Rangers back into the contest | :57:04. | :57:14. | |
:57:14. | :57:21. | ||
are in stoppage time. Not when are in stoppage time. Not when | :57:21. | :57:23. | |
you're playing against them, obviously, but Swansea and Norwich | :57:23. | :57:28. | |
have been a pleasure to watch. have been a breath fresh air. They | :57:28. | :57:32. | |
try to win every game they play in. A couple more wins and they have | :57:32. | :57:37. | |
secured their Premiership safety for next season. Let's try to | :57:37. | :57:45. | |
predict the headlines you'll be Lescott's heart, Villar are not. | :57:45. | :57:51. | |
The city are not slick, but they return to the top. Peter Pan's | :57:51. | :57:57. | |
wonders leading the Baggies five- star performance at Molineux. That | :57:57. | :58:07. | |
:58:07. | :58:24. | ||
did not make any sense! Man City Here are some things you may have | :58:24. | :58:29. | |
Here are some things you may have missed. At White Hart Lane, some | :58:29. | :58:39. | |
:58:39. | :58:44. | ||
but a cracking bird spotted at the Reebok Stadium. Zat Knight gets | :58:44. | :58:52. | |
ready for Valentine's Day. And finally, mascot adds to this week's | :58:52. | :59:02. | |
:59:02. | :59:06. | ||
Chackmore we fail, which you can see on Match Of The Day three. -- | :59:06. | :59:10. |
