:15:06. > :15:09.four, but we still have games to Everybody at the club, we had a bit
:15:09. > :15:18.of pressure, because we want to play in the Champions League next
:15:18. > :15:24.season, it is a very important challenge for the club. We were
:15:24. > :15:27.missing our age today. We made some changes, but there was always the
:15:27. > :15:34.expectation that you should always be better, and we expected a better
:15:34. > :15:40.performance today. What about the sending-off? He retaliated, he was
:15:40. > :15:45.quite clearly elbowed twice by Luiz, who rolled about like a dying swan,
:15:45. > :15:50.and I think that convinced the referee. There was a shot of him
:15:50. > :15:56.lying on the ground with a smile on his face. It is bad, isn't it? It
:15:56. > :16:00.is not professional. Good kip I have a lot of moments of
:16:00. > :16:05.satisfaction, because you can see the players on the pitch, training,
:16:05. > :16:08.working hard, winning games. I said before, with all of the
:16:08. > :16:13.circumstances that we have around, I think we are doing the job we
:16:13. > :16:20.have to do. Hopefully we can finish at the end doing even better.
:16:20. > :16:24.Massively important match. You think of dropping two points when
:16:24. > :16:27.Suarez got the late goal, but if they get the win against Tottenham
:16:27. > :16:33.in the week, they are basically there, because of the better goal
:16:33. > :16:41.difference. So, it was massively important today. We did have a bit
:16:41. > :16:46.of controversy in the game, but first of all, what about the goal?
:16:46. > :16:49.I thought Jonathan Pearce called it I thought Jonathan Pearce called it
:16:49. > :16:53.perfectly. It was a very good tackle from Ramires on Wayne Rooney.
:16:53. > :16:59.He gets the touch, but from this other Engel, you can see, Wayne
:16:59. > :17:02.Rooney gets his right boot behind his left one, but you can see that
:17:02. > :17:07.Ramires gets the ball cleanly, I think. It is a very good tackle,
:17:07. > :17:14.and they take the ball forward. It summed up Manchester United today,
:17:14. > :17:20.that. It was a poor clearance here, comes back into Ramires, and I am
:17:20. > :17:24.thinking, he has got to shoot. But it comes back to Oscar, who finds
:17:24. > :17:30.Mata. It was a decent strike, I think it went through the legs of
:17:30. > :17:34.Jones. There has been talk of it being an own goal, but not for me,
:17:35. > :17:41.you have to give that to Mata, who was by far the best player on the
:17:41. > :17:48.Park. Up until that point, we were saying, is used to aim for United
:17:48. > :17:55.against Chelsea... Yes, it was bordering on soporific. I was half
:17:55. > :18:01.asleep. He is always half asleep. But if you want a game livened up,
:18:01. > :18:05.you can depend on David Luiz. He does it almost every time. He is
:18:05. > :18:09.the guy you enjoy watching for the good things, and the bad things, as
:18:09. > :18:14.we know. I think he shows a lot of strength here, and I think he is a
:18:14. > :18:19.wee bit miffed. But he is really positive, really strong. I do not
:18:19. > :18:25.know if that is a foul. At this point, he is really pushing it
:18:25. > :18:30.already, right in the face of the referee. But this is when it gets
:18:30. > :18:35.really dodgy. I do not know about an elbow, but he is certainly over-
:18:35. > :18:41.strong. The referee lets it go. That is point, you're thinking, he
:18:41. > :18:47.has lost it. Whether he gets it right or not, it is a couple of
:18:47. > :18:52.Brazilians together, but that was when the tackle hits, and you can
:18:52. > :18:59.see how far away the ball was. You cannot call for it to tackle.
:18:59. > :19:07.not like this. Smiling at the fans, but the second time he rolls over,
:19:07. > :19:16.to pretend he is injured, I'm afraid, I do not like that. Look
:19:16. > :19:21.what she says, yellow card, please. To be fair... I do not like this.
:19:21. > :19:26.He is better than that. It is not the sending-off which leads to the
:19:26. > :19:31.big fracas. Ryan Giggs is fuming about that, he says, we do not do
:19:31. > :19:33.that. It annoys the living daylights... Frank Lampard says, we
:19:33. > :19:39.daylights... Frank Lampard says, we understand, he is wrong. He is
:19:39. > :19:44.doing it again, Frank Lampard... Referees have been told to clamp
:19:44. > :19:50.down on that, and I hate that, showing imaginary cards, it does
:19:50. > :19:54.not belong in this country. To not construe this as token what do, but
:19:54. > :19:59.how good has Sian Massey been? There was a bit of controversy, but
:19:59. > :20:03.she has to be 10 got the better than of August, and she has been.
:20:03. > :20:08.It is nothing against the other officials that are running the line,
:20:08. > :20:16.she just does not get things wrong. She is almost like a machine, in
:20:16. > :20:23.the best possible sense. She is very special. What about Manchester
:20:23. > :20:27.United's performance today? thought they were very sloppy,
:20:27. > :20:34.particularly going forward. They got into some excellent positions
:20:34. > :20:36.without getting the ball into the without getting the ball into the
:20:36. > :20:40.box. They were sloppy. This comes into Valencia, he can take a touch,
:20:41. > :20:46.but he tries to put it in first time. Andersen saying, calm down.
:20:46. > :20:55.Phil Jones breaks with the ball here, and eventually he comes out
:20:55. > :21:00.on to the right side, and look at the options he has got. Too much
:21:00. > :21:05.weight on it. The final ball was poor again. Valencia have the
:21:05. > :21:09.chance to play it in, chooses not to, takes an extra touch. Straight
:21:09. > :21:15.into the hands of Petr Cech. It probably, this was the worst one of
:21:15. > :21:22.the lot, Rafael, with three options to pick out, and he picks none of
:21:22. > :21:28.them. That summed United up, they were poor. We're going to return to
:21:28. > :21:32.everyone's favourite player from that game, David Luiz. You know the
:21:32. > :21:38.scene from escape to Victory, with Pele going up to the chalk board,
:21:38. > :21:42.was that the position that David Luiz was playing today? Officially,
:21:43. > :21:52.he was playing centre-back. What I like about him is the fact that you
:21:52. > :21:57.want to pass the ball in to strikers. The sees space. And he
:21:57. > :22:03.drives into it. Keep on watching him at the bottom of the screen
:22:03. > :22:09.here. He does not run back, he just cruises around. He thinks, and I
:22:09. > :22:13.want to get back up there for a shot at goal. It passes this one a
:22:13. > :22:18.bit too far, but keep an eye on him, he thinks, I might have a chance
:22:19. > :22:27.here. Have a look at David Luiz here. And have a look at the
:22:27. > :22:32.referee running past him. As you say, he is not killing himself to
:22:32. > :22:36.get back. He understands that others will do the job for him, but
:22:36. > :22:42.he wants to play in midfield. looking at the United team, there
:22:42. > :22:48.is a bit of chat about the starting XI. I am absolutely fine with it.
:22:48. > :22:53.Alex Ferguson has got nothing to do with Tottenham or Arsenal. His main
:22:53. > :22:57.concern is Manchester United, not any other team. And any other top
:22:57. > :23:01.team would have the same philosophy. We're going to move on to Anfield,
:23:01. > :23:08.and the Merseyside derby which could decide which side of Stanley
:23:08. > :23:11.Park enjoys the bragging rights over the summer months. There will
:23:11. > :23:16.be no silver were on display in Mersey side this season, but there
:23:16. > :23:19.is a local title to be won. Everton are favourites to finish above
:23:19. > :23:25.Liverpool for the second season in a row, but they have not finished
:23:25. > :23:28.above Liverpool -- they have not beaten Liverpool at Anfield since
:23:28. > :23:36.1999. Liverpool want to show there is more to them than just Luis
:23:36. > :23:39.Suarez. Watching the 220th Merseyside derby, Steve Wilson. If
:23:39. > :23:44.this is a fixture which has fallen on hard times, which is struggling
:23:44. > :23:48.for significance, you would never know it. Anfield is growling with
:23:48. > :23:53.an atmosphere as good as the glory days. It is a special rivalry, but
:23:53. > :23:58.there is also a special bond, and a message of thanks from red to blue
:23:58. > :24:02.today for their support as the Hillsborough cover-up unravelled.
:24:02. > :24:07.It was no Suarez, no problem, for Liverpool at Newcastle. It is no
:24:07. > :24:13.surprise that they are unchanged. It will be Jamie Carragher's 30th
:24:13. > :24:17.and last Merseyside derby. In the last 50 years, in which Everton and
:24:17. > :24:21.Liverpool have been together in the top flight, the Blues have never
:24:21. > :24:26.finished above the Reds in successive seasons. Well, they will
:24:26. > :24:30.if they win today. But David Moyes has never had a victory at Anfield.
:24:30. > :24:40.Today, he leaves Jelavic on the bench, and brings back Darren
:24:40. > :24:48.
:24:48. > :24:56.Liverpool, tries to find Daniel Sturridge. Great bowl. Coutinho
:24:56. > :25:06.arriving in the middle, and Downing... Here's Downing...
:25:06. > :25:11.
:25:12. > :25:18.Leighton Baines underneath it for start to the game. Daniel Sturridge
:25:18. > :25:22.with the shot, goal-kick. The first really fluent attack of the game.
:25:22. > :25:31.It started with a great ball from Henderson to Daniel Sturridge, and
:25:31. > :25:35.finished with him shooting wide. It is his 25th taste of the Merseyside
:25:35. > :25:41.derby. The relationship between David Moyes and Bill Kenwright is
:25:41. > :25:49.the heartbeat of Everton's continuing success. Lovely ball by
:25:49. > :25:59.Jagielka, finds Coleman. Was a nice turn by Mirallas, but Lucas to kick
:25:59. > :26:02.
:26:02. > :26:12.off him. Steven Gerrard goes along to Daniel Sturridge. Sturridge,
:26:12. > :26:17.
:26:17. > :26:27.possibly a bit selfish, with three teammates arriving. Eight goals in
:26:27. > :26:30.
:26:30. > :26:33.11 Liverpool appearances so far for on Steven Pienaar. Liverpool are
:26:33. > :26:43.aggrieved about what they thought was a handball decision which did
:26:43. > :27:20.
:27:20. > :27:26.Everton in front. That's a really good ball from Leon Osman.
:27:26. > :27:36.Coleman... Corner kick. And Jose Enrique wanting Henderson to wake
:27:36. > :27:40.
:27:40. > :27:50.up. The Baines' corner, dangerous. It has gone behind for a goal kick.
:27:50. > :28:03.
:28:03. > :28:13.minutes of football you have ever seen, in all honesty. Downing,
:28:13. > :28:19.
:28:19. > :28:29.kick, Liverpool, Fellaini onlookers. That was a big chance for the
:28:29. > :29:02.
:29:02. > :29:07.out. Gerrard... It was not that far fans will see him on the pitch
:29:07. > :29:10.again, assuming he does stay over the summer. Phil Thompson,
:29:10. > :29:20.alongside Ian Rush, who was the scourge of Everton for so many
:29:20. > :29:29.years. Daniel Sturridge! Chance for Coutinho! Great tackle by Phil
:29:29. > :29:39.Jagielka. Tremendous defending. That was Downing, lovely touch from
:29:39. > :29:50.
:29:50. > :29:59.Henderson and a brilliant tackle to Coutinho. Lovely ball... Daniel
:29:59. > :30:09.Sturridge! But he cannot beat Tim Howard. The ball is still in play.
:30:09. > :30:10.
:30:10. > :30:20.That was Liverpool's best chance so far. Henderson... Daniel Sturridge!
:30:20. > :30:54.
:30:54. > :31:04.Side netting. This was a great pass a corner. Everton's fourth corner of
:31:04. > :31:05.
:31:05. > :31:14.the game. Liverpool had only had one. Michael Oliver having a word
:31:14. > :31:20.with Victor Anichebe and Jose Enrique. It is in the back of the
:31:20. > :31:27.net, but the whistle has gone. Sylvain Distin thought he had
:31:27. > :31:32.scored, but the whistle of Michael Oliver ruled it out. Victor Anichebe
:31:32. > :31:42.gets a yellow card for his protests. I wondered if it is him blocking
:31:42. > :31:58.
:31:58. > :32:05.Pepe Reina. There is not a lot of Distin. That was great covering from
:32:05. > :32:10.Sylvain Distin. Steven Gerrard did fantastically. Lovely weight on the
:32:10. > :32:15.pass from Daniel Sturridge. Sylvain Distin arrived in the nick of time
:32:15. > :32:25.for Everton. They have only conceded one goal in their last four games,
:32:25. > :32:33.
:32:33. > :32:43.and awkward. Pepe Reina puts it behind for a corner. Just over three
:32:43. > :33:12.
:33:12. > :33:17.minutes to go, that would be close. Sylvain Distin as frustrated
:33:17. > :33:27.as anyone after his headed goal was disallowed. David Moyes who wait for
:33:27. > :33:33.
:33:33. > :33:38.a victory at Anfield goes on, it has day with a lot of positions, but we
:33:38. > :33:45.have had that in the past, and I do not want to whinge, but we scored a
:33:45. > :33:51.legitimately good goal today. you ask the referee about it?
:33:51. > :33:56.spoke to Victor and said he committed a foul. We looked in the
:33:56. > :34:02.dressing room, and I do not see anything, but it is easy to look at
:34:02. > :34:06.it in a dressing room. When it is life, it is more difficult to judge.
:34:06. > :34:14.When I saw it initially, the referee had loan when the ball was in the
:34:14. > :34:21.air, so he has made the header and then it was disallowed. He has blown
:34:21. > :34:28.for the foul, you can see it clearly, so it would not be a goal.
:34:28. > :34:34.They did not play as well as they can, that is often the way in derby
:34:34. > :34:39.games, that is why the defence has come out on top. Credit to Everton,
:34:39. > :34:43.if they come here and get a draw, it is a good result for them. How much
:34:43. > :34:51.does it mean to do, this thing about finishing above Liverpool two years
:34:51. > :34:58.running? It is not significant, we need to get back into Europe, that
:34:58. > :35:04.is what we need. We are desperate to try and give those nights back to
:35:04. > :35:09.the supporters. Your final Merseyside derby, how does it feel?
:35:09. > :35:15.It is sad, I am disappointed we did not get the result. But the draw was
:35:15. > :35:21.a fair result, Everton got what they wanted. I am fortunate to have been
:35:21. > :35:26.able to work with him this year, to see what the main polity -- the
:35:26. > :35:35.mentality is like for somebody of that ilk. His performance level was
:35:35. > :35:40.outstanding, and we will really miss It turned out to be a damp squib. I
:35:40. > :35:46.should almost apologise to people for not giving away the results!
:35:46. > :35:52.Should Everton have had all three points? You are asking me first, I
:35:52. > :35:59.know what Alan will think! There is nothing wrong with it. The referee
:35:59. > :36:04.had a word beforehand. Watch Victor Anichebe. As it comes in, is he
:36:04. > :36:08.fouling or is he standing his ground? I think he is standing his
:36:08. > :36:17.ground. He should not have to get out of the way because the
:36:17. > :36:21.goalkeeper is coming. The referee blows early, to be fair. I do not
:36:21. > :36:26.see anything wrong with that at all. The only thing I thought he might
:36:26. > :36:33.have given the free kick for, coming into the picture now, a little shove
:36:33. > :36:43.on Jamie Carragher, but it is given for Victor Anichebe. What can he
:36:43. > :36:43.
:36:43. > :36:49.do? He cannot disappear. It was one of those, we were expecting more,
:36:49. > :36:57.but it was disjointed and cagey, not many chances. Last week, Liverpool
:36:57. > :37:03.were rampant against Newcastle. It did not happen many times today.
:37:03. > :37:08.Daniel Sturridge was isolated on his own. Steven Gerrard picks his head
:37:08. > :37:15.up, a fantastic early ball, direct, look how long it takes people to get
:37:15. > :37:20.up to support him. We are talking five or six seconds. By the time
:37:20. > :37:29.people get up, he has got no option but to have a shot. Into Jose
:37:29. > :37:36.Enrique, it is no contest. It is a poor ball, he is the only one in the
:37:36. > :37:44.box. He looks up again, this time he sees both of them, Phil Jagielka and
:37:44. > :37:50.Sylvain Distin. He will not win the header. It is a damp squib again.
:37:50. > :37:58.This was the worst of the lot, a long ball forward, and I think, what
:37:58. > :38:06.will he do? Nothing whatsoever. The second half was probably the best
:38:06. > :38:13.bit of quality of the game. A lovely little ball, in behind, a good run,
:38:13. > :38:18.but he goes round him, and there is nobody near him. For defenders in
:38:18. > :38:25.the box, and this is three or four seconds after the pass. It happened
:38:25. > :38:32.all afternoon. Credit all day long to those whose job is to defend, but
:38:32. > :38:37.from an Everton point of view, they got their tactics right. Yes,
:38:37. > :38:45.Everton wanted to stifle the midfield. They pushed Liverpool
:38:45. > :38:53.further back in the game went on. He gets whacked, three of them around
:38:53. > :39:00.him, do not give him space. With no Luis Suarez, the expectation is
:39:00. > :39:10.elsewhere for the creativity. Look at how a leaky is tackled. This is
:39:10. > :39:11.
:39:11. > :39:18.the big moment, perfect room, he has finally got a 1-2. If you play the
:39:18. > :39:24.ball there, he is in for a tap in. He would have played that ball to
:39:24. > :39:28.Daniel Sturridge, if it was the other way round. When he gets the
:39:28. > :39:34.ball, he will constantly be surrounded by Everton players. He
:39:34. > :39:39.has got the quality to get a flick. Look at how furious he is, he knows
:39:39. > :39:44.he is the creative player. He has done well to tackle and create
:39:44. > :39:52.space, but look at the players around him. Nobody in the box to
:39:52. > :39:57.help him. By this point, he is finding space, that is lovely. That
:39:57. > :40:02.is what Everton did to him all afternoon. They closed him down, if
:40:02. > :40:07.he got past one, there was another one there. He played well, but
:40:07. > :40:14.Everton stifle him enough. Both of the games tonight have been
:40:14. > :40:20.practical, because some weekends we are spoiled, some of the world's
:40:20. > :40:26.best players, football at an amazing pace, amazing goals, but today was
:40:26. > :40:35.awful. People would have got their beer or fizzy pop, the pizza was
:40:35. > :40:43.ready... We have tried to make this look good! I have kept this to the
:40:43. > :40:50.best players. That is not the best pass you have seen! We often talk
:40:50. > :40:58.about the greatness and the great goals. Who is that to from Ramires?
:40:58. > :41:07.! It was like that all afternoon. This was the best of the lot!
:41:07. > :41:12.is Robin van Persie. This was both games. There were some big mistakes.
:41:12. > :41:20.A real mess of an afternoon. We are not going to pretend it was anything
:41:20. > :41:29.else. You expect one or two of those balls in an afternoon. That is a bad
:41:29. > :41:37.pass. It is great players. Wayne Rooney, with a good through ball to
:41:37. > :41:41.Ramires! I have not seen many afternoons like this. Apart from
:41:41. > :41:44.that, they were great games! Thankfully, we can promise you more
:41:44. > :41:54.goals than you can count, all of the big moments from yesterday, all of
:41:54. > :42:32.
:42:32. > :42:36.congratulations to Hull City from in one place, and you are safe in
:42:36. > :42:46.the hands of Kevin, who spent Saturday in the shadows of Upton
:42:46. > :42:51.
:42:51. > :42:58.the Newcastle fans. They are on their way to West Ham after a
:42:58. > :43:08.terrible month. @ Pancras, that is where the Eurostar is, from where
:43:08. > :43:22.
:43:22. > :43:26.happened? It is incredible, so many excuses about Europe, they were
:43:26. > :43:33.saying they were tired for the Sunderland game. They should be on
:43:33. > :43:39.adrenaline alone. The only thing you can give Alan Pardew, you should
:43:39. > :43:44.always invest in a position of strength. The second half against
:43:44. > :43:52.Liverpool looked awful. This is the train that goes to the Olympic
:43:52. > :44:01.Stadium. Newcastle's season looks like it is falling flat. Everybody
:44:01. > :44:07.got too comfortable, too early. is the mood about Alan Pardew? The
:44:07. > :44:13.club seem to be on the back foot, banning newspapers. When you are
:44:13. > :44:18.forced into a corner, you fight back, and that is what he has done.
:44:18. > :44:24.I thought I would crack you outside the press box, because you have been
:44:24. > :44:30.naughty! What have you been up to? have been banned for writing the
:44:30. > :44:38.story about tensions in the dressing room. I thought it needed to be
:44:38. > :44:44.addressed. The timing is not ideal, I hope we see a reaction. The
:44:44. > :44:54.players are good, but it takes time to settle in England. Newcastle are
:44:54. > :45:27.
:45:27. > :45:37.going to have to stay united to stay line? Maybe not. Much better from
:45:37. > :45:48.
:45:48. > :45:58.Simpson with the challenge. Somehow, it has stayed out. Brilliant work
:45:58. > :45:59.
:45:59. > :46:05.from the goalkeeper. Jaaskelainen has committed himself. So close to!
:46:05. > :46:09.Newcastle United respond, as Alan Pardew wanted them to. The players
:46:09. > :46:13.needed to show that a lot of what has been said this week was
:46:13. > :46:17.complete rubbish. Some of the stories were way off the mark, no
:46:17. > :46:22.stories were way off the mark, no foundation to them, and unfair.
:46:22. > :46:29.is only a six minute train journey back, but it was not the best, was
:46:29. > :46:34.it? I was not so sure about Ben Arfa getting taken off. And
:46:34. > :46:40.Coloccini in defence made a huge difference. We have got people
:46:40. > :46:44.watching the ball bounce. We are worried about where we are. So, six
:46:45. > :46:48.hours and six minutes later, we're back where be started, and arguably,
:46:48. > :46:52.Newcastle are worse off than when we started. Newcastle fans have got
:46:52. > :46:56.a long journey back up to the north-east, facing up to the fact
:46:56. > :47:01.that they are right in it. They cover just about everything, the
:47:01. > :47:05.Newcastle fans, should they have spent from a position of strength?
:47:05. > :47:10.We have got the alleged split in the camp, denied by Alan Pardew. It
:47:10. > :47:14.is a far cry from 12 months ago. When you concede three against
:47:14. > :47:18.Sunderland, six against Liverpool at home, people will be asking
:47:18. > :47:23.questions. There will be scrutiny. Things were great last year, and
:47:23. > :47:26.Alan Pardew, for the first time, is finding out what it is like being
:47:26. > :47:33.Newcastle manager when things are not so rosy. It is not a nice time
:47:33. > :47:36.at the moment. They have got to dig deep. I'm not sure banning
:47:36. > :47:42.journalists is the right thing to do. The end of the season cannot
:47:42. > :47:47.come quick enough. Moving on to the rest of yesterday's games,
:47:47. > :47:57.beginning at The Hawthorns, and a must-win match for this season and
:47:57. > :48:00.every season's escape artists, every season's escape artists,
:48:00. > :48:08.Wigan. Yacob timed it well. Rosenberg... Watson has a threat,
:48:08. > :48:18.Rosenbaum! -- Rosenberg! West Bromwich Albion have the lead.
:48:18. > :48:28.Shane Long scores for the second weekend in a row. Over it comes to
:48:28. > :48:54.
:48:54. > :49:01.easy for West Brom. How simple a McArthur scores. He has only just
:49:01. > :49:11.come on! Roberto Martinez has made vital changes, and Wigan's team up
:49:11. > :49:15.
:49:15. > :49:21.for the fight again. -- Wigan seem. He gets to the byline, and Callum
:49:21. > :49:25.McManaman has scored a! Are Wigan doing it again? Remarkable. What a
:49:25. > :49:35.talent they have in Callum McManaman. He scores a big goal for
:49:35. > :49:50.
:49:50. > :50:00.hit! And what a goal from Gabriel Agbonlahor. What a big goal it
:50:00. > :50:01.
:50:01. > :50:06.could be for Aston Villa. The game is really stretched now. Snodgrass,
:50:06. > :50:11.up against Bennett... What has the referee's assistant signalled? He
:50:11. > :50:15.has given a penalty. Norwich City have just their second Premier
:50:15. > :50:25.League penalty of the entire season. Jo Bennett is the one penalised.
:50:25. > :50:42.
:50:42. > :50:44.it for Aston Villa, with a goal which could go a long way to
:50:44. > :50:54.ensuring their Premier League survival. And it has come in the
:50:54. > :50:59.very last minute. Carrow Road is stunned. It was a magnificent ball.
:50:59. > :51:05.He still had plenty to do. He held off the challenge of Bassong. Right
:51:05. > :51:11.across the face of the goalkeeper. Another composed finish from
:51:11. > :51:21.Gabriel Agbonlahor. That could be a big twist in the fight to stay in
:51:21. > :51:34.
:51:34. > :51:44.Then he has hit the post to! Headed into the hands of the goalkeeper.
:51:44. > :51:48.
:51:48. > :51:55.Well, Spurs have been warned. Bale coming inside... He has got across
:51:55. > :52:02.his man, and Bale has done it again, the footballer of the! Three awards
:52:02. > :52:12.in a week, and now, a goal which may have helped Spurs towards the
:52:12. > :52:21.
:52:21. > :52:25.The Championship and heat one have had their last day drama. It looks
:52:25. > :52:27.like in the Premier League, it is going to come up the bottom. I so
:52:27. > :52:33.going to come up the bottom. I so specked people have got 40 points
:52:33. > :52:39.are safe. So I think you are looking at the five beneath that.
:52:39. > :52:47.What if a Wigan win it in midweek? Toughness they are all bang in
:52:47. > :52:51.trouble. If I had to pick one, it would be Sunderland. And for you?
:52:51. > :53:01.Do not answer that. I do not want you to say Sunderland on national
:53:01. > :53:09.
:53:09. > :53:12.TV. Now, the strikes from excellent form. He looks for
:53:12. > :53:19.Walcott on the right-hand side. Podolski, playing through the
:53:19. > :53:25.middle. Rosicky has had a fine end to the season. He picks out Ramsey.
:53:25. > :53:32.Lovely ball through, Walcott...! Arsenal take the lead inside 23
:53:32. > :53:38.seconds at Loftus Road! Exactly the same as last week. Walcott gets
:53:38. > :53:45.them off to a crackerjack start. For the first time, he has 20 goals
:53:45. > :53:55.in a season, and what an opening for Arsenal again. Now, what can
:53:55. > :54:05.Queens Park Rangers to here? Bobby Zamora... Great save. He has had
:54:05. > :54:05.
:54:05. > :54:15.little to do in the last 15 minutes, but he kept that one out from Remy.
:54:15. > :54:23.Splendid save. Danny Guthrie, perhaps with a second opportunity...
:54:23. > :54:33.It was blocked by Riise. Is that a penalty? It is. Reading get a spot
:54:33. > :54:34.
:54:34. > :54:40.kick, with just over 10 minutes played. Reading lead. Robson-Kanu
:54:40. > :54:47.gets his sixth goal of the campaign. Lovely ball forward from Danny
:54:47. > :54:55.Guthrie, and Reading are on the break. Pogrebnyak is in the middle.
:54:55. > :55:05.Robson-Kanu! Second goal of the afternoon for him. And relegated
:55:05. > :55:13.
:55:13. > :55:22.from Fulham, and they have a goal back. Bryan Ruiz makes it 2-1.
:55:22. > :55:28.Lovely passing and movement from Fulham. Adam le Fondre... A third
:55:29. > :55:33.goal for Reading. Adam le Fondre comes on yet again from the
:55:33. > :55:43.substitutes' bench and scores. Reading restore their two goal
:55:43. > :56:11.
:56:11. > :56:19.what a moment for Jem Karacan. His first Premier League goal, and his
:56:19. > :56:28.first goal for Reading since March of last year. Here's Nathan Dyer
:56:28. > :56:34.for Swansea. Michu... Nastasic came in with the challenge, but my Jones
:56:34. > :56:44.was not remotely interested. As it is played into Michu, oh, my
:56:44. > :56:52.
:56:52. > :57:02.goodness, he certainly did not get nothing going for Michael Laudrup
:57:02. > :57:03.
:57:03. > :57:09.and Swansea. Zabaleta, can he reach it? He did, and Edin Dzeko has Mr!
:57:09. > :57:14.Well, that just about takes the biscuit. -- missed. I do not think
:57:14. > :57:19.we are ever going to get a goal. This one is right up there for the
:57:19. > :57:24.miss of the season. So, that's everything from yesterday. Let's
:57:24. > :57:27.move on to Goal of the Month, and 10 of the best from April. Surely,
:57:28. > :57:37.Alan Shearer has the easiest of jobs picking a winner. You have a
:57:38. > :57:38.
:57:38. > :58:48.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 45 seconds
:58:48. > :58:58.a goal from Lowton! That is a who won the title for them who has
:58:58. > :58:58.
:58:58. > :59:44.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 45 seconds
:59:44. > :59:53.Sunderland have doubled their lead appearance, and that's his first
:59:53. > :00:00.goal of the season. What a strike. Here's David Luiz... He might go
:00:00. > :00:10.for goal. What a hit from David Luiz! Simply unstoppable! No chance
:00:10. > :00:48.
:00:48. > :00:55.Daniel Sturridge! Liverpool are Robin van Persie! Not many players
:00:55. > :01:05.in the world of football could do that. Across the body, eyes on the
:01:05. > :01:41.
:01:41. > :01:51.of Callum McManaman! That is one heck of a way to ring up your first
:01:51. > :01:55.
:01:55. > :02:04.winner! I cannot remember a better month. Some of the goals were
:02:04. > :02:10.staggering. I will pick Robin van Persie, the volley, the technique.
:02:10. > :02:14.That is the hardest technique in football. A volley. Watch the
:02:14. > :02:24.technique, it is perfect. Perfection. A great pass from Wayne
:02:24. > :02:29.Rooney. The pace, the power, the accuracy, stunning. My tally in the
:02:29. > :02:39.Premier League is lower than yours, was it close with Loic Remy? I could
:02:39. > :02:46.have picked several. But rather -- Robin van Persie, I am afraid.
:02:46. > :02:51.month, regional over the super goals, but we give little thought or
:02:51. > :03:01.recognition to the strangest brood of footballer, the goalkeeper, so
:03:01. > :03:32.
:03:32. > :03:40.What a save by Brad Friedel! good touch over. What a strike, and
:03:40. > :03:50.what they save by Mark Schwarzer. It is a good save! Alex McCarthy saves
:03:50. > :03:57.
:03:57. > :04:07.Reading. A great save. How did Artur Boruc keep that out? What a save!
:04:07. > :04:10.
:04:10. > :04:17.Brad Guzan denies Christopher Samba. of the season? Possibly the last
:04:17. > :04:26.one, you have counted that, you have decided it is in, you have already
:04:26. > :04:33.chalked it up. He has got no right. It is in the top corner. But there
:04:33. > :04:40.have been more. There are millions more. But that one is special.
:04:40. > :04:50.Manchester United golf keeper got the goalkeeper of the season.
:04:50. > :04:55.
:04:55. > :05:01.would say Petr Cech, but I am although Everton might feel they
:05:01. > :05:11.should have had one. Goalless in the Merseyside derby. No net all check
:05:11. > :05:14.
:05:14. > :05:18.at Old Trafford until the dying minutes as Chelsea stole the points.
:05:18. > :05:27.Manchester United are just 13 points ahead of Manchester City. Chelsea
:05:27. > :05:32.took a huge step towards the Champions League. Wigan's great
:05:32. > :05:39.escape gathered momentum. Sunderland play tomorrow, a victory against
:05:39. > :05:46.some -- Stoke City would roost their hopes of survival. With Gareth Bale
:05:46. > :05:50.grabbing the player of the year awards, our alternative player --
:05:50. > :06:00.table is about attacking players, the men who create and score the
:06:00. > :06:31.
:06:31. > :06:35.Englishman. Demba Ba is still the most potent striking force for
:06:35. > :06:42.Newcastle, despite leaving in January.
:06:42. > :06:46.That is all from us this season. With so much subtle, we could not
