:00:13. > :00:19.Hello. Your warm, comfortable, fuzzy, Sunday night football
:00:19. > :00:26.service is here. Free from overstatement and height. Tonight!
:00:26. > :00:32.On Match Of The Day Two! Chelsea from London! Facing Liverpool! A
:00:32. > :00:42.team from Liverpool! It is Andre Villas-Boas and his boys. Lampard,
:00:42. > :00:45.
:00:45. > :00:55.Petr Cech, John Terry. Against Pepe Reina, Luis Suarez, and blue versus
:00:55. > :00:57.
:00:57. > :01:07.read. Also tonight! The Hitman. The fit man. And this man. Are you
:01:07. > :01:07.
:01:07. > :02:01.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 54 seconds
:02:01. > :02:06.sitting comfortably? It's time! Match Of The Day Two is here. As is
:02:06. > :02:11.Bolton's Kevin Davies and Lee Dixon, with Ricky Hatton on the way later.
:02:11. > :02:16.Let's get straight to the action, as we always do. These two have had
:02:16. > :02:20.recent slip up. Chelsea have lost two out of the last three and the
:02:20. > :02:28.Reds have gone three out of the last four. Last season, Liverpool
:02:28. > :02:32.did the double with the damage done by two players now owned by Chelsea.
:02:32. > :02:38.A goal by Meireles was a difference in London, but since Fernando
:02:38. > :02:42.Torres's arrival, it has gone very blue. 25 years ago, Kenny Dalglish
:02:42. > :02:52.scored the goal that secured his title as Liverpool boss, but this
:02:52. > :02:55.
:02:55. > :03:00.fixture than this in recent times. The 29th meeting in seven years.
:03:00. > :03:07.The 30th in the Carling Cup final comes in nine days' time. However
:03:07. > :03:12.often they clash, the edge is never dull 1 Chelsea take on Liverpool. -
:03:12. > :03:16.- when Chelsea take on Liverpool. Meireles and Fernando Torres, the
:03:16. > :03:20.pair that Chelsea took from Liverpool, on the bench. The man
:03:20. > :03:26.that replaced Fernando Torres has also left out. Andrew Carroll is a
:03:26. > :03:34.substitute for Liverpool. Maxi Rodriguez starts a league game for
:03:34. > :03:39.the first time this season. If Chelsea win, they go level on
:03:39. > :03:49.points with Newcastle. If Liverpool win, they go level on points with
:03:49. > :04:20.
:04:20. > :04:24.Chelsea. There is as much to play players and manager wearing black
:04:24. > :04:34.armbands as a mark of respect for the six year-old son of their
:04:34. > :05:05.
:05:05. > :05:15.goalkeeper Brad Jones, who lost his run from Frank Lampard and he was
:05:15. > :05:48.
:05:48. > :05:52.appreciated by the Stamford Bridge crowd. Great atmosphere here today.
:05:52. > :06:02.The biggest danger was from Juan Mata. Nicely worked and not
:06:02. > :06:39.
:06:39. > :06:42.terribly well defended. The cat Daniel Agger tried to counter
:06:42. > :06:52.strength with strength, but the referee said that he was fouling
:06:52. > :06:52.
:06:52. > :07:00.Didier Drogba. Perhaps Lucas did not help by putting his foot in.
:07:00. > :07:08.Good position. More than 10 yards in their opinion. Didier Drogba
:07:08. > :07:17.went for it. Brilliant! I thought it was in and so did 30,000 other
:07:17. > :07:27.people. How close was that? The Liverpool keeper was not the only
:07:27. > :07:57.
:07:57. > :08:06.Liverpool are now, but it was Pepe Liverpool are in front at Stamford
:08:06. > :08:11.Bridge. Chelsea turn and look at John Obi Mikel. Chelsea 0,
:08:11. > :08:17.Liverpool 1. Chelsea only have themselves to blame. Charlie Adam
:08:17. > :08:27.did well and then it was intricate, nice stuff, one-touch, on a plate.
:08:27. > :08:27.
:08:27. > :08:34.1-0. No foul, said the officials. Luis Suarez, Craig Bellamy, Maxi
:08:34. > :08:42.Rodriguez, golf. The Argentine has hardly put his boots on this season
:08:42. > :08:52.and he made it look like child's play. The Scottish smile beams at
:08:52. > :09:13.
:09:13. > :09:23.Skrtel made contact, and maybe with his hand. I wonder if this is one
:09:23. > :09:28.
:09:28. > :09:38.of Chelsea's clearest opportunities knocked off Martin Skrtel, possibly
:09:38. > :09:55.
:09:55. > :10:05.Daniel Sturridge off the back post for Chelsea! The substitution pays
:10:05. > :10:07.
:10:07. > :10:17.off at Chelsea are level. -- and Chelsea are level. A simple finish
:10:17. > :10:22.
:10:22. > :10:29.4th Daniel Sturridge, just as it spell of sustained Chelsea pressure.
:10:29. > :10:34.Liverpool asking the question, was Daniel Sturridge offside? Daniel
:10:34. > :10:38.Sturridge had a little glance towards the referee's assistant
:10:38. > :10:48.himself before the celebrations began. It is one all at Stamford
:10:48. > :10:53.
:10:53. > :11:02.Chelsea press home their advantage in terms of the momentum of the
:11:02. > :11:07.game. Didier Drogba will deliver it. Hoping to find one of those five.
:11:07. > :11:12.It is a great ball! Pepe Reina got a brilliant save. Fantastic
:11:12. > :11:22.delivery from Didier Drogba. Pepe Reina got so Pat from John Terry,
:11:22. > :11:32.that is how good that save was. -- got patted by John Terry. Great
:11:32. > :11:33.
:11:33. > :11:43.delivery from Didier Drogba. An even better save. What a gulf in
:11:43. > :11:57.
:11:57. > :12:01.He might have seen it late. It came into quickly. -- too quickly. A
:12:01. > :12:09.glorious opportunity for Florent Malouda. I am absolutely certain
:12:09. > :12:14.that it was not an attempt at a cross. I don't know if you have
:12:14. > :12:23.played Pol Pot pirate with your children, but you could do that
:12:23. > :12:33.with Andre Villas-Boas. The -- pop up pirate. Dirk Kuyt puts it wide.
:12:33. > :12:34.
:12:34. > :12:41.A great opportunity. Lovely play by Jordan Henderson. He beat Ashley
:12:41. > :12:51.Cole and John Terry. Liverpool could very easily have put
:12:51. > :13:08.
:13:08. > :13:16.scores! Liverpool RN front! -- Glen Johnson for Liverpool! Liverpool
:13:16. > :13:21.are in front! Liverpool are in front of Chelsea. Against the run
:13:21. > :13:27.of play in the second half, when Chelsea have dominated for long
:13:27. > :13:33.periods. This is a terrific goal. Good run, a great ball by Charlie
:13:33. > :13:43.Adam, lovely nutmeg 1 Ashley Cole, and a composed finish by Glen
:13:43. > :14:05.
:14:05. > :14:15.Bridge and remain unbeaten for two months. Glen Johnson gave them the
:14:15. > :14:21.
:14:21. > :14:24.for the third time in four games. Wonderful result and a very good
:14:24. > :14:28.performance. You cannot get a wonderful result without a very
:14:28. > :14:35.good performance. I think it was a fantastic performance from the
:14:35. > :14:38.players. They played really well in the first half. We got the goal and
:14:38. > :14:48.in the second half they put us under more pressure than in the
:14:48. > :14:48.
:14:48. > :14:52.first half. It is hard scoring against your old club. You took
:14:52. > :14:56.your goal brilliantly. I have always been confident with my left
:14:56. > :15:02.foot. I only have one thing on my mind when I got there. A fantastic
:15:02. > :15:07.goal. I don't think too many people could begrudge us three points.
:15:07. > :15:11.has been a tough baptism for Andre Villas-Boas. Worryingly for the
:15:11. > :15:16.Blues, they have suffered back-to- back home league defeats for the
:15:16. > :15:20.first time since Roman Abramovich took over the club in 2003. At the
:15:20. > :15:24.moment it is looking bad for us. It is not the brightest of starts, it
:15:24. > :15:29.is the worst for quite some time. But you have to have the belief and
:15:29. > :15:35.we have to focus on what we are doing. Things in the Premiership
:15:35. > :15:39.will get more difficult for us. We have to be fair, and say it. Not
:15:39. > :15:42.impossible but a little bit difficult. We have to trust the
:15:42. > :15:46.December fixtures. Above all we have to find the belief again to
:15:46. > :15:51.fight for this. He will have grey hair by Christmas. It was not
:15:51. > :15:56.technically brilliant but it was absorbing from start to finish.
:15:56. > :15:59.think Liverpool had a huge half. They pressed Chelsea really high up
:15:59. > :16:03.the pitch, made them try and pass through them, it gave them
:16:03. > :16:08.difficult options and played really well. In the second half, Chelsea
:16:08. > :16:11.got back into it and put them under pressure. Overall, I think
:16:11. > :16:15.Liverpool deserve to win. Three losses in four games now for
:16:15. > :16:19.Chelsea. Where do they go from here? At home of their form has
:16:19. > :16:25.been poor. There is big trouble. There were holes at the back and
:16:25. > :16:29.they did not look shout at the front. Liverpool deserved the point.
:16:29. > :16:35.They may not be Manchester City on paper in terms of talent, but they
:16:35. > :16:41.have the passion and commitment and work rate, 100%. I think Kenny
:16:41. > :16:47.Dalglish has the game plan. It was not in ones and twos, they played
:16:47. > :16:51.as a pack and it was very difficult for Chelsea. Even when they were up
:16:51. > :16:57.against it in the second half, they got the goal because they stuck in.
:16:57. > :17:07.We saw it from the first whistle. Especially here, at Juan Mata has
:17:07. > :17:07.
:17:07. > :17:11.no time on the ball. A nice bit of interplay. This throw-in to Didier
:17:11. > :17:19.Drogba, he is surrounded by three players, at backed up by another
:17:19. > :17:23.two. He has nowhere to go. Chelsea could not get past them. Better
:17:23. > :17:30.passes to get on goal. Dirk Kuyt is not on his own. Ashley Cole thinks
:17:30. > :17:35.that he is away but Craig Bellamy is backing him up again. Glen
:17:35. > :17:43.Johnson here, comfortable on the ball, not enough pressure. And nice
:17:43. > :17:49.little pass through. A better pass from Luis Suarez. This was all in
:17:49. > :17:56.the first half. And they get their reward. Charlie Adams. Great piece
:17:56. > :17:59.of play between Craig Bellamy and Luis Suarez. I don't know the
:17:59. > :18:08.official statistics, but don't quote runs 17 million miles per
:18:08. > :18:16.game, I think. -- Dirk Kuyt. What did you think of jealousy? They did
:18:17. > :18:21.not look sharp up front. -- Chelsea. More alarming for me is at the back.
:18:21. > :18:25.From a defensive point of few, if you are going to play the game the
:18:25. > :18:30.right way at the back, firstly you have to be in the right position,
:18:30. > :18:34.that is paramount. Then it is all about decision-making, whether you
:18:34. > :18:38.go cloves or not. And then communication between players. Here,
:18:38. > :18:42.bad pass, John Terry would normally clean everybody out. That decision
:18:42. > :18:49.from him and all of a sudden Luis Suarez is away. Liverpool are on
:18:49. > :18:54.the attack yet again. Talking about decision-making. John Obi Mikel,
:18:54. > :18:59.loads of space, his decision is to pass it. Charlie Adam can see that
:18:59. > :19:02.happening. If he closes in down, what does he do with the ball if he
:19:02. > :19:08.gets it? Bad decision by the goalkeeper. Charlie Adam does close
:19:08. > :19:15.down the ball. All of a sudden, at Liverpool on the attack. And they
:19:15. > :19:21.finish with the goal. And here, Ashley Cole and John Terry good.
:19:21. > :19:25.Luis Suarez should be marked. Look at what he does. I have no idea
:19:25. > :19:29.what he is doing and what is going through his head. He just turns
:19:29. > :19:37.round and into the goal. In the end to get back. John Terry, decision-
:19:37. > :19:42.making. For me, he should be on the cover, going behind David Luiz. He
:19:42. > :19:46.does win it, but then he is out of position. And this is the goal.
:19:46. > :19:49.Decision-making, communication. Two centre-halves standing next to each
:19:49. > :19:54.other because they did not communicate. All of a sudden that
:19:54. > :19:58.gap between John Terry and Ashley Cole is too far. He needs to come
:19:58. > :20:02.over. David Lewis needs to get back into position and he does not.
:20:02. > :20:07.Ashley Cole should do better. John Terry should be closer to the ball.
:20:07. > :20:10.In the end he goes back on the line because he is out of position.
:20:10. > :20:16.Overall, John Terry is a good defender and no mistake, but he has
:20:16. > :20:20.players around that put him in an indecisive position and he is
:20:21. > :20:25.making mistakes. Would he be better in midfield? Going forward he is
:20:25. > :20:28.spectacular. We have said that before. The further from the gold
:20:28. > :20:33.the better, defensively. He does not make the right decisions and
:20:33. > :20:41.puts people in a quandary about what to do. Charlie Adam was Key
:20:41. > :20:51.For Blackpool. He sees to a -- seems to be growing into his boots
:20:51. > :20:58.
:20:58. > :21:03.tackles, good player. Yes, there have been questions asked of him,
:21:03. > :21:06.whether he could play at such a big club, but he has got everything.
:21:06. > :21:12.Breaking Chelsea's attacks up. I don't think there is a better left
:21:12. > :21:16.foot in the Premier League. This pass. We played them only a run in
:21:16. > :21:21.the season, and you cannot afford to give a player like that, of that
:21:21. > :21:25.quality, so much time on the ball. And I think Glen Johnson has
:21:25. > :21:29.benefited from playing at left-back a bit last season.
:21:29. > :21:35.interestingly, Carole macro and Torres were on the bench, and it
:21:35. > :21:38.was Daniel Sturridge who came on. He has scored more for Chelsea than
:21:38. > :21:48.Torres and Anelka put together. You played with him at Bolton,
:21:48. > :21:52.Sturridge, you must miss him at Bolton? Yes, we do. He came in and
:21:52. > :21:57.for me, he has got everything. I think he probably felt aggrieved he
:21:57. > :22:04.was not starting today. Like you say, he's scoring goals. I think he
:22:04. > :22:08.could be a key player for them. You could tell he was not too happy
:22:08. > :22:14.about not playing. He's only a young boy, but I think he could be
:22:14. > :22:18.a key player. You need to get him on the ball. You need to get him in
:22:18. > :22:24.one against one situations, because he has got pace, and he's a really
:22:24. > :22:29.good finisher. What about Andre Villas-Boas, where is he sitting
:22:29. > :22:34.tonight? I think he's under pressure, because the team is not
:22:34. > :22:37.performing in loss of departments. He had a decent start, creeping up
:22:37. > :22:42.on the two Manchester clubs, but all of a sudden, their form has
:22:42. > :22:49.dropped off, training pitch, that is where the workers to be done.
:22:49. > :22:59.much more to come, Ricky Hatton on the way, after a quick look at the
:22:59. > :23:11.
:23:11. > :23:15.website from tomorrow morning. Match Of The Day 2, next Sunday,
:23:15. > :23:23.has Swansea against Aston Villa and Liverpool versus Manchester City.
:23:23. > :23:27.Unmissable, I would say. Tennis fans, you can watch the ATP World
:23:27. > :23:34.Tour finals all next week on the BBC, every afternoon we have got
:23:34. > :23:41.the best matches. Tomorrow it is Andy Murray, join Sue Barker for
:23:41. > :23:45.that one. When we asked Ricky Hatton, take us to the Manchester
:23:45. > :23:53.City-Newcastle game yesterday, he not only said yes, but he opened
:23:53. > :23:56.his house to us. Kevin Day went to take a look. Two genuine Premier
:23:56. > :24:01.League contenders are going toe-to- toe this afternoon. Watching it
:24:01. > :24:06.will be a man who is no stranger to the old toe-to-toe himself. He
:24:06. > :24:10.loves it football so much, he has already seen again today. His son
:24:10. > :24:15.was playing in a local match. But now it is time for the main bout,
:24:15. > :24:25.his beloved Man City against his beloved Man City against
:24:25. > :24:39.
:24:39. > :24:44.He is a useful player, your blood. He's not bad, I don't know where he
:24:44. > :24:50.gets it from. I was hopeless when I played football. Thank God he has
:24:50. > :24:55.gone nowhere near boxing yet. I'm diehard Manchester City, for an
:24:55. > :24:59.through. But when I was actually fighting, I was always supported by
:24:59. > :25:05.Man City fans and Man United fans. Although it is a little bit of
:25:05. > :25:14.banter, I'm still very proud of the support Man United fans give me.
:25:14. > :25:20.When it comes to Derby Day, it is a different matter. Were they
:25:20. > :25:26.supportive after the 6-1? I went for a drink in Manchester, I made a
:25:26. > :25:31.big mistake, it was a big Man United pub. The landlord says, what
:25:31. > :25:35.are you doing coming in here, are you taking the Mick? I said, I will
:25:35. > :25:43.not mention the game. I said, six pints of lager, and take one for
:25:43. > :25:49.yourself. You have got a TV in your swimming pool room. And I have got
:25:49. > :25:56.the Manchester City crest. And you have got a Man City pool table. Are
:25:56. > :26:00.you allowed to play on it? I have never been great at pool, but now
:26:00. > :26:04.City are doing well, I have even started putting some balls. Did you
:26:04. > :26:08.feel you were representing Manchester? Yes, my family, my
:26:08. > :26:12.friends. I'm not saying I will be remembered as the greatest, far
:26:12. > :26:16.from it, but some down there has ever been a British fighter who has
:26:16. > :26:21.had a following like me. I would like to think the fans supported me
:26:21. > :26:31.because I was one of them. At least I can say, I was beaten by the
:26:31. > :26:35.
:26:35. > :26:42.absolute best. I have always been a big fan of Only Fools and horses.
:26:42. > :26:46.That's my passion wagon. Can you drive us to the ground? It hasn't
:26:46. > :26:56.got MOT or anything. You take your life into your hands when you go
:26:56. > :26:57.
:26:57. > :27:01.round the corner in this thing. have travelled here with a couple
:27:01. > :27:05.of Geordie mates of yours. It got quieter and quieter as we got
:27:05. > :27:15.towards the ground. They were quite loud on the way down, I don't think
:27:15. > :27:32.
:27:32. > :27:34.they will be so loud on the way Ricky, we will see you at half-time.
:27:34. > :27:44.Jonathan Pearce is our ringside commentator for this heavyweight
:27:44. > :27:46.
:27:46. > :27:56.commentator for this heavyweight bout. Balotelli! Tim Krul saves.
:27:56. > :28:06.
:28:06. > :28:09.Demba Ba! Splendid goalkeeping by don't think you can defend that
:28:09. > :28:15.close to your own goal with your arm up and expect to get away with
:28:15. > :28:25.it. Balotelli... He has been in such a lethal form, and he gets
:28:25. > :28:40.
:28:40. > :28:50.his shot away! So, a great first half, and Ricky Hatton shared his
:28:50. > :28:51.
:28:51. > :28:58.thoughts with some Man City fans. First 45 minutes, what did you
:28:58. > :29:02.think? Brilliant, obviously, 2-0 up at half-time. I was just starting
:29:03. > :29:09.to sweat a little bit, before Balotelli got the penalty. We have
:29:09. > :29:16.got so many class players nowadays, all over the pitch, five minutes,
:29:16. > :29:26.and we can be two or three goals up. We are, what made you going to
:29:26. > :29:49.
:29:49. > :29:53.boxing, rather than football? that's a penalty. Micah Richards
:29:53. > :30:03.has caused Newcastle all sorts of problems, all day long. Sergio
:30:03. > :30:17.
:30:17. > :30:24.Aguero takes the penalty, and likely to sing? They will sing the
:30:24. > :30:30.Man City song. We score when we want. We are Man City, we will
:30:30. > :30:36.score when we want action I hope we are the champions now, otherwise I
:30:36. > :30:40.will go right one. Thanks for that, Ricky, much appreciated. It proves,
:30:40. > :30:47.all these footballers in their private bars and their blacked-out
:30:47. > :30:51.windows, there's no such thing as famous. Man of the people. And what
:30:51. > :30:55.he's watching right now is a team which, even if you play well
:30:55. > :31:01.against them, it counts for little, because Newcastle did play well.
:31:01. > :31:05.They did, but Man City at the moment have got so many options.

:31:30. > :31:36.everybody's chasing them. We played them early on at the Reebok. We got

:31:39. > :31:44.invincible, but they have got some great firepower up front, it is

:31:51. > :31:58.scary thing about them this year, they're winning those types of
:31:58. > :32:04.games as well. But they're going to miss Toure for the African Cup of

:32:10. > :32:15.they can cover all positions. you spend your Saturday night out

:32:22. > :32:32.the Barclays Premier League. And we start tonight with an extraordinary
:32:32. > :32:40.game between the bottom two. Blackburn were late arriving at the
:32:40. > :32:48.DW Stadium, and they left it late to leave with a share of the points.
:32:48. > :32:58.Is it going to go in from Yakubu? Yes, it is. Victor Moses went down
:32:58. > :33:05.
:33:05. > :33:09.after this challenge from Pedersen, start at the DW Stadium. Time for

:33:24. > :33:31.yellow card, this time David Dunn... You know the drill. Caldwell clucks
:33:31. > :33:41.and and surprise, surprise, David decided he was Dunn, so he fouled
:33:41. > :33:46.
:33:46. > :33:52.again. And it is a second yellow card. As usual, the Blackburn fans
:33:53. > :34:02.and their banner. It was love at first sight, you know. This is one
:34:03. > :34:03.
:34:03. > :34:07.for Sue Barker and Question of Sport. Junior Hoilett! Does Yakubu
:34:07. > :34:13.actually take this corner kick? He does not touch the ball, that
:34:14. > :34:18.surely cannot stand! Pedersen took the corner - to himself! Wigan
:34:18. > :34:26.should still be in front, there is no way that Yakubu has taken that
:34:26. > :34:36.corner. Jones drives it in, what a save from Robinson, what an

:34:40. > :34:48.outstanding stop from the Blackburn rivers goalkeeper. -- Rovers. Last
:34:48. > :34:53.few seconds, Blackburn have to score. Robinson... Penalty!

:35:03. > :35:13.
:35:13. > :35:23.header, the FT was high from James change. Their fans decided to march
:35:23. > :35:24.
:35:24. > :35:33.to the ground. But they picked up three points. Fellaini conceded a
:35:33. > :35:43.penalty after fouling David Edwards. Stephen Hunt! And Hunt puts Wolves
:35:43. > :35:56.
:35:56. > :36:06.ahead. Jagielka! Cometh the hour, a corner. Cahill thinks he was
:36:06. > :36:28.
:36:28. > :36:36.in. -- Cahill. This was the second penalty. Leighton Baines gave
:36:36. > :36:46.Everton the lead, and Goodison Park erupts. A point did not do much for
:36:46. > :37:06.
:37:06. > :37:12.either team at the Stadium of Light, Westwood again proved his worth by
:37:12. > :37:22.saving from Chris Baird. Mark Schwarzer saved the points right at
:37:22. > :37:29.
:37:29. > :37:39.Hawthorns, but it was Albion who came out on top. Gary Cahill went
:37:39. > :37:40.
:37:40. > :37:45.close with this header. Is he offside, Jerome Thomas? I don't
:37:45. > :37:53.think he is. And West Brom have taken the lead. Was he level or was
:37:53. > :38:03.he just off? Well, it is one of those. Roy Hodgson was not too

:38:26. > :38:32.and Bolton are level. Shane Long! We have to show all the goals, but
:38:32. > :38:39.I have to say, you had a face of stone. Bolton cannot get going this
:38:39. > :38:49.season... Yes, the three games that we have won, QPR, first game, 4-0,
:38:49. > :38:54.Wigan, 3-1, and then 5-0, Stoke. The performance was not anywhere
:38:54. > :38:57.near those levels which we got to against Stoke, yesterday, which was
:38:57. > :39:03.disappointing. Like a lot of teams in the bottom half, we are
:39:03. > :39:10.struggling for form. It is still very tight. I'm confident we can
:39:10. > :39:19.get up the table. What are the expectations within the camp this
:39:19. > :39:24.season? Obviously, we wanted to try and improve on last season. After
:39:24. > :39:28.the semi-final last season, we fell away a bit. We want to try and
:39:28. > :39:32.improve on last season, and we feel we could be a top 10 clubs. The
:39:32. > :39:35.fixtures have been harsh for us, at the start of the season, but some
:39:35. > :39:42.of our performances were not good enough. When you have got those
:39:42. > :39:45.kind of fixtures, it can affect your confidence and morale. And you
:39:45. > :39:50.have got all of them coming round again just after Christmas. You had
:39:50. > :39:55.better get a few point before then. We have got some good games coming
:39:55. > :40:05.up against teams in and around us. At least you did not lose to a goal
:40:05. > :40:11.
:40:11. > :40:15.again. I know that corner. He did not even touch it. You do have to
:40:15. > :40:19.touch it. I can't believe the Wigan players did not appeal more than
:40:19. > :40:24.they did. Maybe they thought that he touched it. It was bizarre.
:40:24. > :40:30.did not really complain. I think they thought it was touched as well.
:40:30. > :40:34.They did not complain. They looked stunned. Sometimes these things
:40:34. > :40:43.happen in games. Maybe if somebody had gone to the referee, he could
:40:43. > :40:48.have asked the linesman. Video replay, got to bring their own. --

:41:42. > :41:47.start with the old chestnut? You have committed more fouls than any
:41:47. > :41:53.other player of in the Premier League, but you are one of the most
:41:53. > :41:58.foul. Are you doing the retaliation? Are they? I think it
:41:58. > :42:04.is a bit of both! You like to mix it up. You are born within two
:42:04. > :42:12.weeks of May. I know that I like taking a nap in the afternoon. How
:42:12. > :42:18.are you doing? Is it season by season? I feel great. I have been
:42:18. > :42:24.very fortunate in terms of my health. Recovery takes a bit longer.
:42:24. > :42:28.But I trained as hard as I can with the boys every day. I try to get up
:42:28. > :42:31.and lead by example. I feel great and I will keep playing as long as
:42:31. > :42:36.I can. I am sure one of the proudest moments for your career
:42:36. > :42:40.was running out for England against Montenegro. The oldest player to be
:42:40. > :42:46.capped since 1950. Would you like to break your own modern-day
:42:46. > :42:49.record? Do you harbour ambitions of the second cap? When I got the
:42:49. > :42:56.first one, I think it was the highlight of my career. The hard
:42:56. > :43:00.years of grafting. I loved every minute of it, from being down there
:43:00. > :43:04.to coming on and playing. I was disappointed not to get the call to
:43:04. > :43:09.go and play against France in the friendly. Maybe get a bit longer
:43:09. > :43:13.out there and show them what I can do. I am grateful for that cap. It
:43:13. > :43:18.is not a great feeling being sat on one. I would like to have made a
:43:18. > :43:23.career of it, but I did not. I have enjoyed my player. Lots of players
