:01:39. > :01:44.Hello everybody. Highlights of Sunday's two games, with four teams
:01:44. > :01:48.hoping that V stands for victory. All watched by my guests tonight.
:01:49. > :01:57.The first Premier League powder-keg can be found at Anfield. Two feems
:01:57. > :02:07.teams we hoped to deliver something teams we hoped to deliver something
:02:07. > :02:43.
:02:43. > :02:47.At the time of those high-scoring Liverpool Newcastle games in the
:02:47. > :02:53.1990s, Steven Gerrard was a teenage trainee at Anfield. Today he
:02:53. > :02:57.becomes only the tenth player in Liverpool's history to make 600
:02:58. > :03:05.appearances for the club. After nine changes on Wednesday, when
:03:05. > :03:15.Liverpool crashed out of the Capital 1 Cup. Brendan Rogers
:03:15. > :03:45.
:03:45. > :03:55.reverts to the starting side from Ba has shrugged off an ankle injury
:03:55. > :04:06.
:04:06. > :04:13.Ba has shrugged off an ankle injury That might have been a handball
:04:13. > :04:19.from Coloccini, he certainly lunged in. It wasn't a handball, but does
:04:19. > :04:28.Coloccini catch Saurez here. There is certainly a connection. On his
:04:28. > :04:38.leg. That is inside the penalty area. Anthony Taylor was the
:04:38. > :04:59.
:04:59. > :05:03.referee who allowed the goal 17 years of age, Sterling will turn
:05:03. > :05:13.18 in December. Already he has become very much a first team
:05:13. > :05:26.
:05:26. > :05:36.the marking, it needed to be a better shot from that kind of
:05:36. > :05:39.
:05:39. > :05:43.distance. Alan Pardew as manager came against Liverpool.
:05:43. > :05:47.Here comes Saurez, Birch has to be careful on the edge of the penalty
:05:47. > :05:50.area. The referee has award add free kick.
:05:50. > :06:00.Birch was on the receiving end of the long tackle and doesn't get the
:06:00. > :06:03.
:06:03. > :06:13.ball. Saurez is too high.
:06:13. > :06:38.
:06:38. > :06:48.Six goals in nine Premiership games Saurez has fouled Santon, that has
:06:48. > :07:17.
:07:17. > :07:27.Liverpool goal. And he has had a few chances. He clipped the heels
:07:27. > :07:45.
:07:45. > :07:54.It was such a tight angle for the Frenchman. And just before half
:07:54. > :07:57.time, Newcastle United get a goal on the break, to crush Liverpool's
:07:57. > :08:02.spirit. Ben Arfa, held up by Enrique so many times this
:08:02. > :08:09.afternoon, got passed him. And Cabaye, who scored recently against
:08:09. > :08:15.Sunderland, scored an absolutely terrific goal here. That was
:08:15. > :08:19.something his compatriot Zidane would have been proud of. The
:08:19. > :08:29.control, vision and execution from Yohhan Cabaye, and Newcastle United
:08:29. > :08:39.lead at Anfield. Brendan Rodgers won't believe his team is heading
:08:39. > :09:12.
:09:12. > :09:22.been scampering across the goal line.
:09:22. > :09:38.
:09:39. > :09:42.Saurez hardly hesitated to think the penalty area. Sahin has scored
:09:42. > :09:52.three goals against West Brom and Norwich. He didn't quite catch that
:09:52. > :10:12.
:10:12. > :10:17.perfectly, but but it was almost control is absolutely sub breaktime
:10:17. > :10:21.-- sublime. Liverpool are back on level terms, with a goal just
:10:21. > :10:30.seeped in inspiration, as well as% racial. First of all, the thought
:10:30. > :10:35.process for Enrique, to even attempt this pass. Then, subtle but
:10:35. > :10:45.effective control from Saurez. That is his tenth goal of the season in
:10:45. > :10:45.
:10:45. > :10:50.all competitions. Far and away Liverpool's top scorer this evening,
:10:50. > :11:00.no-one has got a more goals for Brendan Rodgers in this campaign.
:11:00. > :11:16.
:11:16. > :11:26.a run back at Coloccini. Good defending from Coloccini in the
:11:26. > :11:31.first instance, Saurez isn't giving up. It should have been 2-1.
:11:31. > :11:41.Shelbye has only scored one goal, it came against Chelsea. Saurez
:11:41. > :11:54.
:11:54. > :11:59.brilliant run. Steven Taylor ensures he doesn't so there. Just
:11:59. > :12:05.counts as really good defending, doesn't it. Brendan Rodgers hoping
:12:05. > :12:15.to win back-to-back home games for the first time as Liverpool manager.
:12:15. > :12:37.
:12:37. > :12:42.There is a chance of a counter- Coloccini. Oh, it's a straight red
:12:42. > :12:45.card. The two south Americans have been leading each other a merry
:12:45. > :12:53.dance for most of the afternoon. We have not had a yellow card for
:12:53. > :13:01.anyone in this game. But after that tackle. From Coloccini, on Luis
:13:01. > :13:06.Saurez, the referee, Anthony Taylor, has produced a straight red card. A
:13:06. > :13:12.downward stamping motion, I think it is the assistent there we can
:13:12. > :13:22.see. You don't need to be a skilled lip reader to read the word "red"
:13:22. > :13:35.
:13:36. > :13:45.concentrating on keeping it down, he didn't want it to fly over the
:13:46. > :13:52.
:13:52. > :14:01.crossbar. In the end too much of a see if Liverpool would gain a
:14:01. > :14:11.meaningful advantage there. Gerard has taken up a position at the far
:14:11. > :14:21.
:14:22. > :14:24.post. Shelbye, it bounces off the It could have looped in over the
:14:24. > :14:31.goalkeeper. As a manager there are things you
:14:31. > :14:37.can't legislate about? We give away. We were open when we had possession,
:14:37. > :14:41.we thought they were going to keep it, and then a big ball from Jose
:14:41. > :14:51.and he has exploited us. We were so unlucky today, we have had three
:14:51. > :14:55.injuries, all my subs were down to injureies, the captain sent off.
:14:55. > :15:00.you think it was a red card? It was a naughty challenge. There wasn't a
:15:00. > :15:05.great deal of contact, if I'm honest. The ball was well gone, I
:15:05. > :15:08.didn't see it at the time, once you see the replays he goes for that.
:15:08. > :15:12.was surprised of a straight red, I wasn't sure what it was. I didn't
:15:12. > :15:17.think he touched him. But it does look bad, it looks like there is
:15:17. > :15:19.some sort of intent there. It is so out of character, I don't think he
:15:19. > :15:24.would intentionally do that. went on to the field to speak to
:15:25. > :15:28.the referee afterwards, was he able to tell you? It was unfair on my
:15:28. > :15:32.part, there is enough pressure on referees, the morale of referees is
:15:32. > :15:37.low. I don't want to make a big issue of. That he got the call from
:15:37. > :15:40.his linesman and he has followed that. That is our fifth draw in ten
:15:40. > :15:44.league games. We have should won games out of those draws. I believe
:15:45. > :15:48.once we get a number of other players that can fit the profile
:15:48. > :15:51.and the model of the game, when we dominate games like that, and
:15:51. > :15:55.finish the chances, it will be great for us going forward.
:15:55. > :16:01.I have watched both those goals 20 times already, I already want to
:16:01. > :16:06.see them again. But Robbie, we have Newcastle and Liverpool a lot this
:16:06. > :16:12.sea on because of the Europa league. Coloccini is a remarkable talent
:16:12. > :16:16.and a surprise his performance today? He has been their best
:16:16. > :16:21.player all season, but today he has been their leader and captain. But
:16:21. > :16:25.today he looked intent. This one, he's lucky there because the ball
:16:25. > :16:30.hit him. If it went over his head it was a penalty. Here he has left
:16:30. > :16:34.Saurez get the wrong side of him, a fantastic goal from Saurez, he has
:16:34. > :16:39.to do better than that. This one, doesn't know where he is, he gets
:16:39. > :16:42.beat. Tries to have a nibble here. Goes unbalanced, nearly gives a
:16:42. > :16:45.penalty away. Shelbye should have scored. All afternoon he was all
:16:45. > :16:50.scored. All afternoon he was all over the place. This one, If he
:16:50. > :16:55.stands in the centre half position, he just clears that up. Kick s
:16:55. > :16:58.Saurez there. This one, he could have been sent off. He slowed this
:16:58. > :17:05.right down, wow, he catches him there, that could be a straight
:17:05. > :17:08.head. On this one, that is, he's lucky there, Saurez, slowing it
:17:08. > :17:13.down here, if he catches him there, I don't know what would happen to
:17:13. > :17:19.Saurez there. The linesman got it perfectly right, saying it is a red,
:17:19. > :17:24.red. The gaffer says "what's that for", he should look at him and say,
:17:24. > :17:30.for", he should look at him and say, I have had a shocker. Pardew was OK
:17:30. > :17:33.afterwards. Two different stories, Brendan Rodgers has said it is
:17:33. > :17:37.inevitable he will spend money in January. They have played ten games
:17:37. > :17:41.in this season, ten more games before January 1st. What must they
:17:41. > :17:44.do to get better results now, and not just be a great passing side?
:17:44. > :17:48.Every time we watch Liverpool play, we talk about the same thing. They
:17:48. > :17:51.have such a good player in Saurez, they have to try to get players in
:17:51. > :17:54.and around him. He will create things, not just for himself but
:17:54. > :17:58.for other people as well. In the course of the game today, I mean,
:17:58. > :18:03.eventually they had to change a little bit when Newcastle were 1-0
:18:03. > :18:06.little bit when Newcastle were 1-0 in front. This is in the first half.
:18:06. > :18:14.Rober Downey Jr down Steven Gerrard makes a run at the top of the
:18:14. > :18:19.picture, and he's -- Steven Gerrard make as run at the top of the pitch.
:18:19. > :18:25.In the end nothing happens because of it T
:18:25. > :18:29.-- it. He comes into the box. You know. Two players, five, six,
:18:29. > :18:37.Newcastle defender, even a player of his ability, very difficult to
:18:37. > :18:44.see what he can conjour up. Sometimes he's on his own, and left
:18:44. > :18:48.frustrated. He has a great big wass at it, and nothing from T all of a
:18:48. > :18:51.sudden, Shelbye comes on, gets people in the box. It is completely
:18:51. > :18:56.different, all of a sudden Saurez can drift away, do what he wants.
:18:56. > :19:05.There you go, he has people running off him, lots of options. It makes
:19:05. > :19:09.Liverpool look a much better team. Steven Taylor does a good job, but
:19:09. > :19:12.Sterling should score from there. He drifts away, and picks up the
:19:12. > :19:15.space, when he does that somebody like Shelbye can get in the
:19:15. > :19:19.position. It is difficult, he's the position. It is difficult, he's the
:19:19. > :19:22.only striker they have got. The thing is, if he can just get people
:19:22. > :19:26.in and around him, those people taking defenders away, you would
:19:26. > :19:33.get an even better Saurez. Newcastle many more options up
:19:33. > :19:37.front, rob beef. Last week we saw on Match of the Day 22 how they
:19:37. > :19:40.hung in and got a win against West Brom. The first time this season,
:19:40. > :19:45.won't be the last. You have to admire their tenacity to stay in
:19:45. > :19:50.and get things out of games? They went to Merseyside and drew 2-2 at
:19:50. > :19:55.Everton. The same today, they hung in the game. On the counter-attack
:19:55. > :20:00.they are fantastic, the players, Ben Arfa, Yohan Cabaye, this is a
:20:00. > :20:07.goal, fortunately from them a foul throw from Wisdom. They took the
:20:07. > :20:13.throw in, Ben Arfa on a one-on-one with Enrique, Sterling doubles up.
:20:13. > :20:17.Poor defending. Gets away. I have to say, what an absolute stormer of
:20:17. > :20:20.a finish. It is a top-class finish from Cabaye. He's such a good
:20:20. > :20:24.player. With Newcastle, they are dogged. We talk about Coloccini,
:20:24. > :20:29.generally, and Taylor, the goalkeeper is outstanding. There
:20:29. > :20:33.are almost times in games where you can let the front three, Ben Arfa,
:20:33. > :20:37.Cisse and go and try and win the game. From that point of view, we
:20:37. > :20:42.have pace, they are very, very direct. And you talk about them not
:20:42. > :20:46.playing particularly well, I think that is quit the good for them this
:20:46. > :20:48.season, -- quite good for them this season, they are getting results.
:20:49. > :20:56.On the counter-attack with the pace and directness that they have, I
:20:56. > :21:00.think they are a real threat. Good point for them away from home.
:21:00. > :21:07.I thought Liverpool were a better team. The problem for Liverpool, if
:21:07. > :21:14.they lose Gerrard and Saurez. counting down the days toen ja. He
:21:14. > :21:21.will spend then -- to January. He will spend then. Liverpool fans
:21:21. > :21:24.have seen home wins in the calendar year. To be serious, they don't
:21:24. > :21:29.deserve treatment like this! This is in the main stand. I'm not sure
:21:29. > :21:33.how much they pay for the season tickets, �450, they didn't read the
:21:33. > :21:40.small print, it is if you come and watch against Newcastle. Not only
:21:40. > :21:43.do you get a seat in the main stand, but a shower. This boy as the
:21:43. > :21:48.raving hump about it. At least he had the kit on. It could have been
:21:48. > :21:54.wore. I said earlier, ten games gone this sea on, 18 out of 20
:21:54. > :21:59.teams left in the Premier League before January 1st. Quick higher or
:21:59. > :22:02.lower. Liverpool, ten fixtures before January 1st. Mid-table at
:22:02. > :22:07.the moment. Cast your eye over it, how do you think their next ten
:22:07. > :22:12.will go? I think probably about the same as it has already gone. Robbie
:22:12. > :22:18.made the very valid point. If you lose Saurez, after three or four
:22:18. > :22:20.off those games you are in a mess. Newcastle, tenacity, with fantastic
:22:20. > :22:25.Newcastle, tenacity, with fantastic performances., the different story,
:22:25. > :22:29.the next five a little easier than the five after. They have lost a
:22:29. > :22:33.few players to injury, the next five games are winnable. They have
:22:33. > :22:36.tough games in the next five, Arsenal, United, City at home, but
:22:36. > :22:41.much of a muchness for them. Thank you for now. By the way we have
:22:41. > :22:51.Goal of the Month from October tonight. Now to Loftus road, with
:22:51. > :22:52.
:22:52. > :22:57.QPR and Reading going into this one. It's no fun being a QPR or Reading
:22:57. > :23:06.fan at the moment, both sides must be sick of the sight of the gunners.
:23:06. > :23:10.For Tuesday night's the Capital 1 cup ended in crushing defeat over
:23:10. > :23:15.Wenger's side. They need to bounce back fast or the season could be
:23:15. > :23:21.open by Christmas. If you believe the players, Mark Hughes men must
:23:21. > :23:24.win today or he's in trouble, if you believe the papers.
:23:24. > :23:28.Disappointed because the referee has killed us in terms of allowing
:23:28. > :23:38.their winning goal. Neither side have a win to their name in the
:23:38. > :23:41.
:23:41. > :23:47.league this season, now would be a and arguably the first six-pointer
:23:47. > :23:51.of the season. These two have played a combined 17 patches so far,
:23:51. > :24:01.without managing a sing -- matches so far, without managing a single
:24:01. > :24:39.
:24:39. > :24:49.the team after a sending off against Arsenal. He starts a three-
:24:49. > :24:53.
:24:53. > :25:03.match suspension this afternoon. A free kick against Makie.
:25:03. > :25:03.
:25:03. > :25:55.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds
:25:55. > :25:58.the last week have scored eight and flected. Mark Hughes is the best
:25:58. > :26:08.man for the job and has the full backing of the board, according to
:26:08. > :26:48.
:26:48. > :26:58.Hollett who gave the lead in the last match, a draw with Everton,
:26:58. > :27:10.
:27:10. > :27:20.wasn't far away from the lead here. Corner for Reading. QPR really
:27:20. > :27:40.
:27:40. > :27:48.his former club. Reading have the lead. Morrison with the header off
:27:48. > :27:58.the bar, and Gorkss with the acrobatic volley. Which Houllio
:27:58. > :28:03.
:28:03. > :28:13.QPR have conceded the opening goal on six occasions already this
:28:13. > :28:41.
:28:41. > :28:47.Morrison. Makie almost up to the edge of the penalty area, before
:28:47. > :28:57.Morrison left his leg out. Granero takes it and it smacks against the
:28:57. > :29:17.
:29:18. > :29:22.match since April against Nottingham Forest have the
:29:22. > :29:28.advantage. They have defending to 17th of April the last time Reading
:29:28. > :29:38.won in the league. QPR pushing for an equaliser. Granero went really
:29:38. > :29:45.
:29:45. > :29:55.from that sort of distance, is worth watching. Not as close as it
:29:55. > :30:10.
:30:11. > :30:20.held up by Morrison. You can clearly see. He pulled him over. A
:30:21. > :30:46.
:30:46. > :30:50.Just got away from the defender. QPR are level, it is just about the
:30:50. > :30:55.first thing that Cisse has done in the whole match. But that's what
:30:55. > :31:03.he's there for. That's why he's playing. The little turn away from
:31:03. > :31:08.the defender. He's just able to beat McCarthy to the ball, to find
:31:08. > :31:16.the bottom corner of the net. Queens Park Rangers are right back
:31:16. > :31:26.in the game now. What a relief there Tony Fernandez and all the
:31:26. > :31:26.
:31:26. > :32:10.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds
:32:10. > :32:18.home supporters in the crowd. Queens Park Rangers, so close to
:32:18. > :32:22.going ahead in the match. Cisse waited for the run, for the pass,
:32:22. > :32:27.and Taarabt couldn't quite get it past the Reading goalkeeper. It is
:32:27. > :32:37.Alex McCarthy's foot that saves the day. He keeps his team level. He
:32:37. > :32:55.
:32:56. > :32:59.just got down quickly enough much it was a good chance.
:32:59. > :33:05.It goes straight into the arms of Alex McCarthy. Real excitement
:33:05. > :33:11.there as Cisse kept the ball in play, look at Zamora racing into
:33:11. > :33:21.the far post. There is Chris Houghton, the Norwich manager, who
:33:21. > :33:24.
:33:24. > :33:30.travel to take on Reading next weekend.
:33:30. > :33:35.A point would be a better result for Reading, you fence. La Fondra
:33:35. > :33:39.goes down, he's going to get booked for simulation. Stumbled to the
:33:39. > :33:49.floor. Down he went, and the referee had a very clear view of it.
:33:49. > :33:50.
:33:50. > :33:59.He reached straight for his book. Almost ten games without a win, and
:33:59. > :34:09.almost nine without a -- for Mark Hughes, and Ten for his fellow
:34:09. > :34:35.
:34:35. > :34:40.Cisse blasts it wide. It is the last action of the game.
:34:40. > :34:44.Neither side can find a winner. A combined 19 matches in the Premier
:34:44. > :34:49.League this season, without a win between them. There is quality out
:34:49. > :34:52.there on the pitch. Chelsea have come here and Everton have got draw,
:34:52. > :34:57.we have got the same point today. Everyone knows this is never an
:34:57. > :35:01.easy place to come to. We knew exactly what to expected. I
:35:01. > :35:04.understood exactly what the game plan of Reading would be, we, in
:35:05. > :35:10.the first half didn't really deal with it as well as we needed to.
:35:11. > :35:14.Second half we did. Did you get expectedly what you were expects
:35:14. > :35:17.today, or did you wonder how they will be or start? I know these
:35:17. > :35:22.players, I know them so well. I have been lucky enough to have this
:35:22. > :35:27.job for the past three years. I come to work and they give me a
:35:27. > :35:30.lift every day. People talk about picking the players up, there was
:35:30. > :35:34.never an issue after the mid-week game. We have a real spirit about
:35:34. > :35:39.us, we just keep going, we look forward to the next game. We need
:35:39. > :35:42.maximum points on the board, and the longer it goes on without those
:35:42. > :35:45.maximum points, it the more irritating it become. Another day
:35:45. > :35:49.we will look back and think possibly it is a good point. At the
:35:49. > :35:53.moment we feel it is two point dropped. Given that and the fact
:35:53. > :35:57.they both haven't won. That was the most likely draw of all the draws
:35:57. > :36:01.this weekend. Let's start with Reading and the away team. They
:36:01. > :36:08.went back to basics? It is not rocket science when you are
:36:08. > :36:12.fighting for your lives. 120 minutes mid-week. Tab, Leigertwood,
:36:12. > :36:16.they were fantastic today, in the middle of the park, they were
:36:16. > :36:20.winning second balls, on the front foot. Nice, simple stuff all
:36:20. > :36:23.afternoon. Considering the performance mid-week, the energy
:36:23. > :36:29.levels were superb. This is the last two minutes, Leigertwood loses
:36:29. > :36:34.ball, Tab is covering from behind, as we see there, both sprint back,
:36:35. > :36:38.Tab makes a great tackle. There is his mate backing him up and plays a
:36:38. > :36:43.lazy ball. All afternoon they have done that. Jason Roberts worked the
:36:43. > :36:46.channel all afternoon, the ball in behind, that simple, back to basics
:36:47. > :36:50.football, when you are bottom of the league, do the simple stuff
:36:50. > :36:55.well and they have done that. Jason Roberts are do that all afternoon.
:36:55. > :36:58.He was terrific this afternoon. not give him a big head, he's on
:36:58. > :37:03.next week? I know, when you are down at the bottom of the table,
:37:03. > :37:07.them balls are great. It relieves pressure, gets you throw-ins and
:37:07. > :37:11.corners, it takes the pressure off for you. It allows you to play in
:37:11. > :37:15.there when you force the opposition back. All afternoon he was doing
:37:15. > :37:21.this, getting corners and throw-ins. Reading have to have the same
:37:21. > :37:25.application every week. If they do they will start winning games.
:37:25. > :37:33.is different, consistency is the key thing. One thing is either
:37:33. > :37:37.score or get sent off, Cisse, he gives what he gave today, bonus?
:37:37. > :37:42.You never know what you're gonna get when he's on pitch. The fella
:37:42. > :37:46.can play, he likes playing up front on his own. He is in trouble there,
:37:46. > :37:52.with the defenders. You don't know what he's getting, he's in his own
:37:52. > :37:56.box, a hopeless touch, and puts you on the back foot. Look at him here,
:37:56. > :38:00.he's already cappuccino on the edge of the box. The ball comes to him.
:38:00. > :38:04.Completely miss hits it, and that is Cisse, and then you see
:38:04. > :38:08.something like this, and you think what has he got. Not the greatest
:38:08. > :38:11.first touch in the world, but what a great finish. When you see it
:38:11. > :38:17.here, surrounded by three defender, the only one of the four who
:38:17. > :38:21.anticipates what's going to happen, pitches a goal, it is a really good
:38:21. > :38:28.finish. Really starting to play with the confidence he has. Comes
:38:28. > :38:32.inside, sees, Taarabt, rolls it in, we think it is 2-1, outstanding
:38:32. > :38:37.save. This is it, lots of grass in front of him, he will run at people
:38:37. > :38:42.all day, cause them all sorts of problems, great ball in to Zamora,
:38:42. > :38:47.he didn't make the greatest of connections. He thinks he has
:38:47. > :38:51.scored here, you will see that from behind, it looks like it is in, and
:38:51. > :38:54.McCarthy thinks it is in as well. If they can keep him fit and on the
:38:54. > :38:59.pitch, they have a chance. goalkeeper played a huge part this
:38:59. > :39:04.weekend, maybe the starting role was Alex McCarthy, these two saves
:39:04. > :39:09.were world class? The first was Granero's free kick, we see the
:39:10. > :39:14.replay, he has got his right hand to it. I think it's in, what a save.
:39:14. > :39:19.What a right hand. It is one of them as a goalkeeper, you are never
:39:19. > :39:22.quite sure if you are going to get there. I think this is better. He
:39:22. > :39:25.gets down with his foot and arm. It is hit really, really quickly.
:39:25. > :39:28.Wonderful stuff. All the goals from yesterday, as I said, on the way,
:39:29. > :39:38.as I have also remooneded you, the best from October. First a pointer
:39:39. > :40:03.
:40:03. > :40:12.towards some other things you might Now Saturday's fixture, three draws,
:40:12. > :40:19.all of them coming with a twist. The champions were on the road this
:40:19. > :40:25.weekend, big bubbles, big scarves and big decisions at Upton Park.
:40:25. > :40:31.The toffees were hoping to avoid a sticky afternoon at the Cottage.
:40:31. > :40:35.And Chelsea went to Wales, where Swansea were in no mood to concede
:40:35. > :40:44.Swansea were in no mood to concede the three-point maximum.
:40:44. > :40:49.Kay hill, 1-0 Chelsea. Cahill's header deflected by Moses.
:40:50. > :40:59.Just the touch that was needed. To steer home Gary Cahill's powerful
:41:00. > :41:07.
:41:07. > :41:15.header. Knew exactly what he was Chelsea fail to keep possession and
:41:15. > :41:25.they have been made to pay for it. Really well placed. He was
:41:25. > :41:32.
:41:32. > :41:42.unsighted by his own defenders, scored, but he hasn't. The chicken
:41:42. > :41:43.
:41:43. > :41:52.run of Kevin Nolan stopped because he's offside.
:41:52. > :41:55.He is played on side by Jecko at the bottom of the screen wearing 10.
:41:55. > :41:59.Gareth Barry has missed it. They are claiming West Ham that Barry
:41:59. > :42:04.landled it, it hasn't been given as handball. It goes down as a glaring
:42:04. > :42:14.miss. Highly controversial if the goal
:42:14. > :42:16.
:42:16. > :42:26.had stood. Roberto Mancini ignores, oh, no
:42:26. > :42:45.
:42:45. > :42:55.six-and-a-half minutes gone. Howard got something on it, but not enough.
:42:55. > :43:17.
:43:17. > :43:21.He provides an equisite finish. At the double. It's such a good
:43:21. > :43:31.finish. Drives it underneath the goalkeeper. Everton have come from
:43:31. > :43:35.
:43:35. > :43:45.behind to lead at Craven Cottage. Deflection against the post.
:43:45. > :43:48.
:43:48. > :43:58.Fulham hanging on by the skin of save by the goalkeeper. It deserved
:43:58. > :44:11.
:44:11. > :44:15.Sidwell levels for Fulham. Everton have had so many chances today. It
:44:15. > :44:18.looked like they are going home to Merseyside with a point to show for
:44:18. > :44:24.Merseyside with a point to show for their efforts today. Robbie, West
:44:24. > :44:30.Ham, we have to remind ourselves, they came back into the Premier
:44:30. > :44:35.League, and through the play-offs, top form? I think Big Sam is doing
:44:35. > :44:41.a fantastic job. That is not a surprise, is it. Not at all?
:44:41. > :44:46.Imagine if you were a Blackburn fan watching that. Balotelli some of us
:44:46. > :44:50.were won over by the stories, his eccentricities, in the Chinese they
:44:50. > :44:56.asked for the bone out of the spare rib, we loved all that. You weren't
:44:56. > :45:00.having him from the word go? ability is fantastic, but as a ago
:45:00. > :45:03.manager you spent all the time looking after one player to the
:45:03. > :45:07.detriment of all other players. You can't have that at the top of the
:45:07. > :45:12.Premier League. Just go and play and get on with it. Goal of the
:45:12. > :45:22.month shortly, the four games from yesterday. Starting about 500 yards
:45:22. > :45:28.from where we sit now. The Canaries have been flying of
:45:28. > :45:32.yet, yet Tony Pulis needed a win to steady the ship. The struggling
:45:32. > :45:41.sourcer, met the struggling apprentice at the Stadium of Light.
:45:41. > :45:46.Life at the lane doesn't get much better for Wigan. RVP caught up
:45:46. > :45:56.with a few old friends and did his best not to look too pleased when
:45:56. > :46:08.
:46:08. > :46:18.makes his mark immediately. Wilshere in with a retaliatory
:46:18. > :46:23.
:46:23. > :46:33.challenge, he has his hand in his target, a good strong hand by the
:46:33. > :46:37.
:46:37. > :46:39.off his hand. It looked like a handball to me. Rooney with the
:46:39. > :46:46.chance to double Manchester United's lead before the break.
:46:46. > :46:49.Rooney's put it wide. Goodness me. Huge let off for the goalkeeper and
:46:49. > :46:59.the gunner. You have the feeling that Van Persie will be on penalty
:46:59. > :47:11.
:47:11. > :47:17.duties next time. Van Persie is on they have got it, Patrice Evra has
:47:18. > :47:27.it. It is a lovely ball in from Rooney, Evra's judged it absolutely
:47:27. > :47:31.right. Wilshere showed too much to Evra, has he gone in too strong.
:47:31. > :47:41.He's gone, Jack Wilshere gets a second yellow card. Arsenal in
:47:41. > :48:05.
:48:05. > :48:10.trouble, 2-0 down and a man down. compensation for Arsenal.
:48:10. > :48:18.Snodgrass, a foul. Bradley Johnson gets his first goal of the season.
:48:18. > :48:28.After a free kick that Stoke hotly disputed. Norwich 1, Stoke 0. Some
:48:28. > :48:28.
:48:28. > :49:16.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds
:49:16. > :49:22.villa the lead. Clipped by Loughton, blank saves from two very good
:49:22. > :49:31.Wigan openings. It's Watson, was it over the line,
:49:31. > :49:37.I think it is a goal. I think Watson has scored, for wag began
:49:37. > :49:41.athletic. Martin Atkinson looked to the line on the side. It is well in,
:49:41. > :49:49.nearly in the back of the net, with the goalkeeper. Ben Watson becomes
:49:49. > :49:59.the first Englishman to score for Wigan in this calendar hereer year.
:49:59. > :50:03.
:50:03. > :50:09.-- year. It is a substitution. He Is replacing Defoe, I'm not sure
:50:09. > :50:14.the crowd like it or him. James McCarthy in the right place
:50:14. > :50:18.at the right time for Wigan. Really a good piece of defending keeps
:50:18. > :50:20.Wigan in the lead. It is getting Wigan in the lead. It is getting
:50:20. > :50:25.desperate for Tottenham. I remember Wigan five points from
:50:25. > :50:30.eight games. It was on a Sunday, we refused to say anything bad about
:50:30. > :50:34.them. Two wins in a row. If you look after ten games in five
:50:34. > :50:38.seasons. They haven't done too badly. What do you like best about
:50:38. > :50:43.them so far? This year they have more of a cutting epbl. The signing
:50:43. > :50:47.of Koni might be a massive stroke for Martinez for me. A good, good
:50:47. > :50:53.player, relatively little money. Good win for villa, confidence for
:50:53. > :50:59.them, because the next three games don't as inviting? It is United,
:50:59. > :51:04.City, Arsenal, massively important victory with Sunderland. Guzan,
:51:04. > :51:07.they have good players, Ireland, they have a chance. Do you want to
:51:07. > :51:12.take some penalties for Manchester United, four different players have
:51:12. > :51:18.missed, God help us when they start scoring them. Rooney has missed
:51:18. > :51:21.seven out of 20. Are you going to tell him? He tell him he's not
:51:21. > :51:27.taking them. Robin Van Persie might tell him's not taking them. Ten of
:51:27. > :51:37.the best from the month of October. It is a really tough choice this
:51:37. > :51:37.
:51:37. > :55:08.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds
:55:08. > :55:16.month. So Croket and Tubbs have to Tricky, come on then. We decided
:55:16. > :55:23.actually, it was quite in agreement. That it was, who was it? Taarabt!
:55:23. > :55:28.No we are only joking. Tom Cleverly, we didn't think he meant it.
:55:28. > :55:35.Taarabt has quite a lot to do when he get the ball, and fantastic ball.
:55:35. > :55:38.Ramis had a fantastic volley. He has more to do, I think, hasn't he.
:55:38. > :55:41.Tom Cleverly did say he meant it? You would, wouldn't you. You are
:55:41. > :55:47.not going to say, no, it was a cross. Even his manager on the day
:55:47. > :55:52.said there was no way he meant it. Right now, you have to take him at
:55:52. > :55:55.his word. Cabaye and Saurez already in goal of the month for November?
:55:55. > :55:59.Which was better? I don't know, I haven't seen a goal quite like the
:55:59. > :56:06.Saurez one, it is close. Next week's Match of the Day takes us to
:56:06. > :56:11.St James's and the Bridge, here is the story of today.
:56:11. > :56:16.To win just one remains this season's model for QPR and Reading,
:56:16. > :56:21.as they share the spoils at Loftus road. A few tricks and two real
:56:21. > :56:25.treats from Cabaye and Saurez, delivers another draw at Anfield
:56:25. > :56:29.between Liverpool and Newcastle. Chelsea's ten-week stay at the top
:56:29. > :56:33.ends with Manchester United replacing them at the summit.
:56:33. > :56:43.Unbeaten Manchester City are two points off the pace, while Everton
:56:43. > :56:54.
:56:54. > :57:04.The alternative table, this is what the Barclays Premier League would
:57:04. > :57:37.
:57:37. > :57:41.look like if only goals by British That's all from us, on a weekend
:57:41. > :57:47.that some might put down as a little disappointing. Despite a
:57:47. > :57:57.glut of draws and a cop of damp squib, fans of villa and Wigan
:57:57. > :57:59.
:57:59. > :58:05.Arsenal really in trouble now, 2-0 down and a man down. Have you any
:58:05. > :58:11.complaints about the sending off? Yes.
:58:11. > :58:17.Baalotelli. If we don't score, we don't win. That is football. It is
:58:17. > :58:24.a real shame the goal hasn't stood. Off the line. Today was a bad day
:58:24. > :58:27.at work for us. It is a long season and we will see it through. How we
:58:27. > :58:37.have not won that game is incredible. You need a bit of luck,
:58:37. > :58:48.
