:02:25. > :02:28.champions and it is all because of what happened here in the final
:02:28. > :02:33.throes of last season. I want to remind further back to January and
:02:33. > :02:42.reminds you of another classic. What a finish that is from Samir
:02:42. > :02:50.Nasri. Brilliant! What a sight from Gareth Bale. Is there a chance for
:02:50. > :02:54.Spurs to win it? It is Manchester City three, Tottenham Hotspur two.

:03:17. > :03:20.Guy Mowbray will be describing more. COMMENTATOR: City are winless in
:03:20. > :03:23.the Champions League, unbeaten in the Premier League and that is
:03:23. > :03:30.something Roberto Mancini pointed out keenly in his match-day
:03:30. > :03:36.programme notes. Two changes to the team since Tuesday. Samir Nasri has
:03:36. > :03:40.out through illness. Silva and Kolarov come in. Five changes for
:03:40. > :03:45.Spurs from Thursday in Europe. One key difference from last week's
:03:45. > :03:50.defeat to Wigan. It is one up front, that being an adult Adebayor.
:03:50. > :03:54.Jermain Defoe is a substitute, three days on from his hat-trick.

:05:04. > :05:10.comedy of errors, defence and tricked but it is ruled to be an
:05:10. > :05:20.accident or round. Mario Balotelli today, no gain time, just a
:05:20. > :05:27.
:05:27. > :05:37.free kick for Spurs. A great position for it. Aguero was too
:05:37. > :05:50.
:05:50. > :06:00.but he can't keep it out. Spurs have the lead. Steven Caulker went
:06:00. > :06:21.
:06:21. > :06:25.for it. City again caught out, Andre Villas-Boas has already
:06:25. > :06:30.engineered will win on the right side of Manchester's this season.

:07:33. > :07:42.Just as you thought he was going to shoot, that fooled everybody. That
:07:42. > :07:52.would have been some strike for goal. He did raise eyebrows with
:07:52. > :07:59.
:07:59. > :08:05.his team selection, Adebayor and Huddlestone right across him.
:08:05. > :08:10.Nothing going Zabaleta's way at all. Great work from Silva. Zabaleta is
:08:10. > :08:20.into the box and how is that not a blatant obstruction? Huddlestone
:08:20. > :08:32.
:08:32. > :08:39.knows exactly where he is going Friedel. It was an effort on target
:08:40. > :08:49.but straight at the beat Spurs keeper. A great ball from Tory. --
:08:50. > :09:07.
:09:07. > :09:11.well. That would have been his best chance to score in the game but he
:09:11. > :09:17.lost it and all of his own accord. He completely lost his balance. He
:09:17. > :09:27.fluffed it. Sergio Aguero, three Premier League games without a goal.
:09:27. > :09:45.
:09:45. > :09:52.Really cool. He passed the ball into Brad Friedel's goal. The
:09:52. > :09:57.loudest noise of the day. Massive relief around the Etihad.
:09:57. > :10:07.Manchester City a level. Picked it is a bit of good luck here. -- it
:10:07. > :10:13.
:10:13. > :10:23.is a bit of good luck here. That is last season has got them back into
:10:23. > :10:23.
:10:23. > :11:07.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 48 seconds
:11:07. > :11:10.was not having about. -- but he she away. Friedel made the save. The
:11:10. > :11:17.ball as behind for the corner. A couple of times David Silva has
:11:17. > :11:27.threatened to getting, his magical touch was on the heavy side. Dzeko,
:11:27. > :11:52.
:11:52. > :11:58.off-target. Tottenham's nemesis Ageing, creaking bones? Not a bit
:11:58. > :12:08.of it. He flung out a leg to get the ball away from Aguero and keep
:12:08. > :12:23.
:12:23. > :12:30.the ball -- and keep the score finish, Dzeko. Manchester City two,
:12:30. > :12:37.Tottenham Hotspur one. Edin Dzeko, this super sub, has scored again.
:12:37. > :12:45.The 88 th minute of the match. He took his time here. The support
:12:45. > :12:53.arrived. What a delicious clip art is from Silva. Dzeko timed it
:12:53. > :13:03.beautifully. It was the pass of the match. We still have a lot to do.
:13:03. > :13:06.
:13:06. > :13:10.season. Half-a-dozen of those have come when he has left the
:13:10. > :13:20.substitutes bench. All of a sudden the Etihad Stadium is a very happy
:13:20. > :13:21.
:13:21. > :13:24.The game was not easy for any of the teams. Certainly when
:13:24. > :13:27.Manchester City have those combinations between the strikers
:13:27. > :13:29.it is difficult to stop them. You have to be very narrow and
:13:29. > :13:33.concentrated because they go through the middle like no other
:13:33. > :13:37.team in the world because they have that ability. A did you feel at
:13:37. > :13:41.half-time things were going against you, 1-0 down at two strong penalty
:13:41. > :13:47.shouts turned away? Yes, we are unlucky also with the referee in
:13:47. > :13:53.this moment. We were unlucky with the referee. But I think today, we
:13:53. > :13:56.deserved to win the game because the players were fantastic. I
:13:56. > :14:02.should say thank you to the supporters because in the last
:14:02. > :14:05.weeks they were very close with us and the second half they were like
:14:05. > :14:10.the 12th player on the pitch. know you don't like being a
:14:10. > :14:20.substitute, but it keeps working? It is good the manager knows as
:14:20. > :14:23.well. I am not going to repeat it. I have already said. At the moment,
:14:23. > :14:28.sometimes I come and sport, it is just coincidence. All you can do is
:14:28. > :14:34.keep scoring goals? Yes, that is my job. It is not easy for players to
:14:34. > :14:39.go on the bench but today, we had three important strikers and if
:14:39. > :14:43.we're in this period, we can win. Are you the sort of player who will
:14:43. > :14:47.be banging on the manager's door and saying you have to start me, or
:14:47. > :14:57.do you let your goals do the talking? My goals talk, that is the
:14:57. > :14:59.
:14:59. > :15:08.Today I thought was the performance of champions. Strong in the Premier
:15:08. > :15:15.League all season. Pouring Europe. Against a good side today. 1-0 down.
:15:15. > :15:18.They came back really strongly. In the end it was a fantastic result.
:15:18. > :15:23.If Manchester City are good at coming back, Spurs have thrown away
:15:23. > :15:29.a lead. Why is that? Spurs defended really well for the majority of the
:15:29. > :15:32.game. They were brave, they held a high line. It was tough for them to
:15:32. > :15:37.put pressure on the ball, especially as Manchester City got
:15:37. > :15:43.more of the ball and dictated play. There were key moments. Basically,
:15:43. > :15:50.going back to how Spurs defended, they were brave, confident. And it
:15:50. > :15:56.was working. Especially after they went a goal ahead. Getting Man City
:15:56. > :16:06.of side on numerous occasions. It looked like something had to change.
:16:06. > :16:07.
:16:07. > :16:15.We were a little bit surprised that my son came in. -- my son. He was
:16:16. > :16:21.really quite dangers and effective with the ball. -- dangerous. He was
:16:21. > :16:28.really making an impact in the game. It was a tactical change I do not
:16:28. > :16:35.think any of us Willie saw. He drew players and of the area. Allowing
:16:35. > :16:41.Dzeko to run inside. This is the cole mack. He made a fantastic run.
:16:41. > :16:44.Spurs getting deeper. A great ball. Fantastic finish. Manchester City
:16:44. > :16:51.kept going even though it looked quite hard. The performance of
:16:51. > :16:59.champions. They made some uncharacteristic mistakes at times.
:16:59. > :17:03.But the spirit is 100 percent? Absolutely. Aguero would epitomise
:17:03. > :17:11.everything that is good about Manchester City. In a poor
:17:11. > :17:17.afternoon, he struggled. At times his touch let him down. But what he
:17:17. > :17:27.is totally adept at his shoulder on the last defender, running down the
:17:27. > :17:28.
:17:28. > :17:33.channels. If you get that wrong... That was a wild slice. Watch this.
:17:33. > :17:39.Between the two centre-backs. You do not need a combination of per
:17:39. > :17:46.Teeny and Glenn Hoddle to find him. Put it into the space. -- Michel
:17:46. > :17:50.Platini. Sooner or later you will find him. In the second half they
:17:50. > :17:57.did find him. Gallas played him onside. The ball played over the
:17:57. > :18:03.top. Terrible touch. He slips and slides. You think it is not going
:18:03. > :18:10.to be his day. But eventually gets one major chance. How well does he
:18:10. > :18:16.take this. He cuts inside and passes it into the net. A fabulous
:18:16. > :18:21.finish from a fabulous player. were sitting there thinking we knew
:18:21. > :18:26.what was going to happen. Dzeko scores the winning goal. Is it
:18:26. > :18:31.possible to be a great substitute but not necessarily as at -- as
:18:31. > :18:37.great a player? It is possible to be a better sob, yes. I do not
:18:37. > :18:42.think it is the case with Dzeko. Far from it. I certainly think
:18:42. > :18:49.there are players who were Impact kind of players, who come off the
:18:49. > :18:53.bench and are more suited to making a difference. Dzeko has scored six
:18:53. > :18:58.goals this season from coming off the bench. He can change a game. He
:18:58. > :19:04.has got size and presence. He is a cracking finisher. I certainly
:19:04. > :19:10.think he has got more to his game. Cannot sit somebody's game more?
:19:10. > :19:15.Maybe get that extra half a yard of space? Definitely. It is easy for a
:19:15. > :19:21.any striker to come across on with 20 minutes left. Tired legs, you
:19:21. > :19:27.are fresh. A lot of the time the striker is brought on when they are
:19:27. > :19:30.struggling. You can only be a hero, really. A think he is great in the
:19:30. > :19:40.air as well. When teams are defending deeper, he is brilliant
:19:40. > :19:49.in the air. He is prolific when you start him. Any Abu boys scored
:19:49. > :19:55.coming on as a substitute this season? No. Not yet. Any of the boy
:19:56. > :20:00.is the score at others season? That's fine. To West London and a
:20:00. > :20:10.chance for Chelsea to return to winning ways, and for Liverpool to
:20:10. > :20:16.
:20:16. > :20:21.continue and up would trend. -- an philosophy. We are playing well.
:20:21. > :20:28.They are enjoying themselves. you use games the result was
:20:28. > :20:38.pressure. Once we get the bid of luck which will be fine. -- bit of
:20:38. > :20:39.
:20:39. > :20:45.luck. We have three tough games in 10 days'. The performance level has
:20:45. > :20:53.been outstanding. There is it bright future ahead. -- a bright
:20:53. > :20:59.future ahead. A guard of honour is normally the preserve of champions.
:20:59. > :21:06.But today, a European champion clubs present and past form a guard
:21:06. > :21:14.of honour to heroes, heroes of conflicts, new and old. A tribute
:21:14. > :21:21.paid at all three Barclays Premier League grants today. FA Cup Final,
:21:21. > :21:25.Champions League semi-finals, they have played them all. 32 meetings
:21:25. > :21:34.in the last eight seasons. Liverpool have lost just two of the
:21:35. > :21:42.last 11. John Terry returns to captain the side. David Luiz is ill.
:21:42. > :21:47.Torres has yet to score against his former club. Liverpool played 3, 5,
:21:47. > :21:57.too. Glen Johnson scored the winner here last season. Jamie Carragher
:21:57. > :22:12.
:22:12. > :22:16.points behind Chelsea. Oscar! It was not far away. Liverpool'
:22:16. > :22:26.problems started when Joe Allen lost possession. They thought he
:22:26. > :22:26.
:22:26. > :22:30.had been fouled. He was not. It was nicked away by Alastair. A little
:22:30. > :22:40.bit more testing for Chelsea in the Champions League and indeed in the
:22:40. > :23:09.
:23:09. > :23:15.Premier League, at Swansea last a bang, back with a goal. John
:23:15. > :23:22.Terry. The inquest in the Liverpool defence had practically be gone
:23:22. > :23:27.before the ball was in the back of the net. Johnson and Daniel Agger
:23:27. > :23:32.between them lost him. It was a pretty straightforward task for
:23:32. > :23:41.John Terry to guide it into the net. The first goal of the season for
:23:41. > :23:51.John Terry. A frustrating few weeks on the sidelines is now but a
:23:51. > :23:51.
:23:51. > :23:56.memory. Torres! Good save by Brad Jones. A let-off for Liverpool.
:23:56. > :24:04.Good save by Brad Jones. It would have been a big moment for Torres
:24:04. > :24:13.to score against Liverpool. He got a warm return from the staff at
:24:13. > :24:20.Chelsea, Brendan Rodgers. He worked here under Jose Mourinho. Liverpool
:24:20. > :24:29.playing on. John Terry is in all kinds of trouble. We heard on the
:24:29. > :24:36.edge of his own penalty area. -- really hurt. We heard the shout.
:24:36. > :24:42.Luis Suarez Falls On t John Terry's knee. -- on to. It looks really
:24:42. > :24:52.nasty. His return from suspension started on a high but has finished
:24:52. > :25:13.
:25:13. > :25:18.on a low. Gary Cahill, a more than believe he has missed it. Of all
:25:18. > :25:24.the players he would bank on a to put this in the back of the net on
:25:24. > :25:30.current form, it is Juan Mata. Seven goals in his last eight games.
:25:30. > :25:40.He cannot believe he has not even hit the target. The game could do
:25:40. > :25:47.
:25:47. > :25:57.with an injection of pace, to be curl. If it had, Brad Jones may
:25:57. > :26:12.
:26:12. > :26:18.have had a problem. Chelsea down like he had been clattered in
:26:18. > :26:24.the face. It is a yellow card for Glen Johnson. Lovely foot work from
:26:24. > :26:34.Oscar. It was an arm, not canal ball. I think Howard Webb has
:26:34. > :26:35.
:26:35. > :26:45.called it absolutely right. Good save by Jones. Chelsea looking for
:26:45. > :26:54.a penalty, which they will not get. Steven Gerrard down for Liverpool.
:26:54. > :27:04.Playing everybody onside. Liverpool scrap it away. The referee blows
:27:04. > :27:05.
:27:05. > :27:10.the whistle. Steven Gerrard cannot get up. Torres denied here. Just
:27:10. > :27:14.cannot score against his former club. Liverpool will be hoping they
:27:14. > :27:24.can create just one opportunity, and they will be hoping if they do,
:27:24. > :27:35.
:27:35. > :27:45.would have expected to see popping up inside the Chelsea penalty area.
:27:45. > :27:46.
:27:47. > :27:52.Luis Suarez! It is 1-1! Luis Suarez equalises for Liverpool. With what
:27:52. > :27:57.is, I think, their first attempt on target in the game. A corner kick
:27:57. > :28:03.curled end, flicked on by character and Luis Suarez is definitely not
:28:03. > :28:11.offside. -- Jamie Carragher. Luis Suarez heads is the 11th goal of
:28:11. > :28:21.the season. -- his. I just wonder if Chelsea will take the view that
:28:21. > :28:22.
:28:22. > :28:24.Luis Suarez pushed Ramires? There is a posh. Does he care? Not a lot.
:28:24. > :28:34.Roberto di Matteo will be frustrated in the extreme if
:28:34. > :28:43.
:28:43. > :28:49.Chelsea have a chance to attack. Chelsea's third corner of the game.
:28:49. > :28:59.Ivanovic! Good chance. He has had to work hard to get in front of the
:28:59. > :29:11.
:29:11. > :29:18.defender. He will be disappointed Cech took it away from him. Petr
:29:18. > :29:28.Cech to the rescue. He was onside. He was played in by Enrique. Look
:29:28. > :29:58.
:29:58. > :30:02.We had the chances to score the second goal. Mata had a glorious
:30:02. > :30:05.chance. And the second half, we knew we wanted to score the second
:30:05. > :30:12.goal to kill the game off and we knew it was important for us. We
:30:12. > :30:16.did have chances. The goalkeeper made some good saves. We missed and
:30:16. > :30:21.the second goal did not arrive. the first half we were slow and our
:30:21. > :30:27.penetration, we made too many passes in order to get it forward.
:30:27. > :30:30.Our tempo was slow. And the second half, the players were fantastic,
:30:30. > :30:33.confident and belief in the game had returned. That is more like
:30:33. > :30:38.what we have been most of the season. Any complaints on the
:30:38. > :30:43.equaliser? You might have seen this as a Suarez push on Ramires?
:30:43. > :30:48.Ramires was with him, gave him a push in the back. We did not get
:30:48. > :30:53.the free kick. Do you see this shaping up between Chelsea and the
:30:53. > :30:56.two Manchester club? It looks like it. We had a very good start.
:30:56. > :31:01.Manchester started with their defeat but they are still there.
:31:01. > :31:05.Now they are top of the Premier League, United and they have
:31:05. > :31:10.advantage of a few points. It is early days. I know as a kid you
:31:10. > :31:14.were a striker. The thing you had four goals in 700 games for
:31:14. > :31:20.Liverpool. Is it five? Would it have been six if Suarez had not put
:31:20. > :31:25.it in? I don't know, was it going in? Maybe it needed a touch.
:31:26. > :31:28.would love to see Luis Suarez get the goal. Chelsea might think that
:31:28. > :31:35.you should Ramires a little bit. You were probably looking the other
:31:36. > :31:42.way, I guess? Suarez did? I haven't seen it. It is part and parcel of
:31:42. > :31:46.corners. Defenders get a lot to -- get away with a lot. That is the
:31:46. > :31:56.burning issue, two strikers and defender, can you clear it up for
:31:56. > :32:01.
:32:01. > :32:04.ball comes in, the pushed there, it is conclusive. Jason? Everyone is
:32:04. > :32:08.looking at the first challenge with Carragher, that is why he gets away
:32:09. > :32:12.with it. That is a blatant push. They will be disappointed with it
:32:12. > :32:19.but defenders do it all the time in the box, so a little bit of a hook
:32:19. > :32:26.for a striker. Agreed? Yes, it is a blatant push but defenders Paul and
:32:26. > :32:30.push and everything all the time. Up that is what I thought U3 would
:32:31. > :32:35.say. It went to script. The real disappointment for Chelsea was that
:32:36. > :32:41.it was not all over, long before that? Absolutely. I thought in the
:32:41. > :32:44.first half Liverpool were awful. They had a lot of possession but it
:32:44. > :32:47.was like twenty-five passes back to the same bit at Chelsea rolled over
:32:47. > :32:52.the top of them and conceivably it could have been three or four at
:32:52. > :33:02.half-time. Effectively the game over. They showed a lack of
:33:02. > :33:06.
:33:06. > :33:11.score there. This time soirees gets caught in possession. -- Luis
:33:11. > :33:17.Suarez. They break in numbers. They broke in afternoon -- all afternoon
:33:17. > :33:22.in great numbers. A good save by the keeper, it comes to Oscar, back
:33:22. > :33:27.to Hazard and he should do better. Allen gets caught. Chelsea are
:33:28. > :33:33.breaking again. It is fluent, effective. A little bit more
:33:33. > :33:39.composure from Hazard. A better ball in. Mata is on the end of it.
:33:39. > :33:47.The same again here. Torres is up, the keeper does well to get off his
:33:47. > :33:51.line and pocket. The best chance is the Swan, Mata. We have watched it
:33:51. > :33:59.three or four times and we can't understand why he hits it. Why
:33:59. > :34:02.doesn't he take another touch? He has hit it early. They have paid
:34:02. > :34:10.for it. In the end, Liverpool came back into the game and got the goal
:34:10. > :34:13.and the last ten minutes, Liverpool It was all about the goal. Brendan
:34:13. > :34:17.Rodgers said the first half was my fault, which was Fancott him but it
:34:17. > :34:27.was all about that set piece, all about the goal and a huge momentum
:34:27. > :34:29.
:34:29. > :34:34.formations were anything to do with that goal. It is a set piece. As
:34:34. > :34:40.you know, in football, if you are only 1-0 to the good and you are
:34:40. > :34:44.always in the game and Liverpool were that, as long as they kept it
:34:44. > :34:49.at one. They managed to get the equaliser. If the game had
:34:49. > :34:53.continued, then it looked as if Liverpool were coming right in
:34:53. > :35:03.tight and they looked the most dangerous side. Chelsea will be
:35:03. > :35:09.disappointed, after the first hour If it is 1-0, you are always in the
:35:09. > :35:14.game. If you are playing great and 1-0 down, if you are playing
:35:14. > :35:23.awfully, and you get a goal, it swings the momentum. You get a
:35:23. > :35:29.massive lift. It is incredible. Jason, in that first half we were
:35:29. > :35:39.saying Liverpool are smaller, younger, these are the problems but
:35:39. > :35:43.our statistics Kourou really Jason said, do think they are
:35:43. > :35:49.younger and smaller but I said it was about the same. Get down to
:35:49. > :35:53.business, Michael, look at that. 25.5, the average age, exactly the
:35:53. > :35:58.same height in the teams. We were surprised. We all were. I don't
:35:58. > :36:06.think any of us called that. The average height is one we did not
:36:06. > :36:09.see, and their age, we were surprised. Sterling is at 17.
:36:09. > :36:13.was me who called it, I thought Liverpool were the smaller side
:36:13. > :36:21.than Chelsea. I was so surprised when they came back. Their age as
:36:21. > :36:24.well, I saw Liverpool were younger Terry was the oldest player who
:36:24. > :36:29.started today. When we watched the replay, we thought it was terrific.
:36:29. > :36:35.It looked like he had broken a bone at the bottom of his leg. He is
:36:35. > :36:40.going to have a scan at tomorrow, he must be made of steel? It looked
:36:40. > :36:44.like a break, I thought it was a break, especially in slow motion.
:36:44. > :36:50.If he has got away with it without it being a break, you have to say
:36:50. > :36:55.he has got away with it. All the goals and a special Remembrance Day
:36:55. > :36:58.finish to come. We have a reunion now of a few familiar faces in the
:36:58. > :37:01.third stop of the day. Everywhere you looked there was someone who
:37:01. > :37:06.used to play here or manage their but I would not use the word
:37:06. > :37:12.friendly. That Toon Army criticised Big Sam's style when he criticised
:37:12. > :37:16.Newcastle but it is working for the Hammers. Alan Pardew, despite his
:37:16. > :37:19.adoration for former players know when and Carroll is out to burst
:37:19. > :37:23.his old club's bobble and the Magpies will want to score first
:37:23. > :37:28.today, as they haven't come from behind to win a league match since
:37:28. > :37:32.2010. Naturally that was against West Ham, went to Machrie Newcastle
:37:32. > :37:41.flatmates now playing for West Ham got the goals. Waiting to see if
:37:41. > :37:45.anyone celebrates if they score sort of reception Andy Carroll
:37:45. > :37:48.receives. It was not terribly welcoming when he was too with
:37:48. > :37:52.Liverpool in April. This week, Alan Pardew said he would jump at the
:37:53. > :37:56.chance to have him back here. Today, Carroll returns, still looking for
:37:57. > :38:04.his first goal for West Ham. Newcastle are without two of their
:38:04. > :38:14.current key men, captain Cudicini and T yacht are suspended.
:38:14. > :38:35.
:38:35. > :38:41.this season before last. James that. We have had better effort
:38:41. > :38:46.than that, Matt Jarvis. He got it all wrong. It is nearly five years
:38:46. > :38:56.ago now since Sam Allardyce was sat here by you know Eckersall -- by
:38:56. > :39:01.
:39:01. > :39:08.might have been a collision of unease, which is painful. It is the
:39:08. > :39:18.sort of challenge that Sam Allardyce, in his prime, would not
:39:18. > :39:48.
:39:48. > :39:54.Clumsy give away for a free kick in going to make a change here. The
:39:54. > :40:00.captain's armband will have to be handed on from Gutierrez. On comes
:40:00. > :40:06.and 80, the Dutch international who was Newcastle's biggest by. --
:40:06. > :40:16.Anita. Mike Dean is going to take the captain's armband to Ba. I
:40:16. > :40:29.
:40:29. > :40:35.don't think he was expecting it, He didn't and troupe -- unduly
:40:35. > :40:45.troubled Jaaskelainen. His first attempt on target, at either end.
:40:45. > :40:51.
:40:51. > :40:56.They are looking nonplussed, like was. Kevin Nolan, who had a good
:40:57. > :41:02.goal disallowed against Manchester City last weekend is there to score
:41:02. > :41:08.against his former club and pointedly not celebrating it. He is
:41:08. > :41:12.onside. The assistant got that absolutely right. Beautifully
:41:12. > :41:22.tucked away by Noland. He should not miss from there. The former

:42:02. > :42:05.effort from Ferguson. Alan Pardew, it says in the programme today but
:42:05. > :42:15.West Ham provided him with some of the most memorable moments of his
:42:15. > :42:19.
:42:19. > :42:24.that Ba wanted in there. Maybe there was a touch. Maybe it was the
:42:24. > :42:34.tiniest of glances but it wanted more of a deflection. I don't think
:42:34. > :42:53.
:42:53. > :43:03.he did get a touch, did he? That there. He wanted to give the
:43:03. > :43:09.
:43:09. > :43:19.interesting to see how much of a case Newcastle had for a penalty
:43:19. > :43:36.
:43:36. > :43:39.not yet built up any sort of head Ba with the header and it is the
:43:39. > :43:47.age old question, was that over the line? That looks as though it might
:43:47. > :43:54.have been. Impossible to tell just yet. West Ham have only one away
:43:54. > :44:04.from home was this season. -- had only one away from home once this

:44:04. > :44:49.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 48 seconds

:44:59. > :45:14.
:45:14. > :45:20.Jaaskelainen's saved count is save by Tim Krul. -- Andy Carroll.
:45:20. > :45:26.He had the chance. Probably to score his first goal for West Ham
:45:26. > :45:36.and to Rapid up for his team. He was not able to do so. -- rapid it
:45:36. > :45:58.
:45:58. > :46:08.for it. Just over a minute of added time remaining. Tim Krul is in the
:46:08. > :46:11.
:46:11. > :46:15.penalty area. It is just over his head! I thought for a moment the
:46:15. > :46:21.Newcastle goalkeeper was going to catch it in the West Ham penalty
:46:21. > :46:28.area. That could be it. It looks like defeat against his former club
:46:28. > :46:33.for Alan Pardew. Difficult place to come. Mastered it well. Took full
:46:33. > :46:39.advantage of Newcastle's extra game in midweek in Europe. That have a
:46:39. > :46:45.bit of extra energy wasn't there. I'm sure Alam will see that. --
:46:45. > :46:51.Alam. He seemed to take a long time to get going? A degree of that.
:46:51. > :46:58.Nothing to do with a European game. -- I would agree with that. The
:46:58. > :47:02.team was fresh. No excuse. We did not do ourselves any justice in the
:47:02. > :47:08.first 30 minutes. When they scored, we came alive. That ain't good
:47:08. > :47:14.enough. We have played Manchester City and Newcastle, two of the top
:47:14. > :47:18.five teams last season, and taken for.. It is brilliant. After a
:47:18. > :47:24.disappointing result against Wigan, this was important. We have come
:47:24. > :47:31.back well. It is only a solid start. We have to get fit the elusive 40
:47:31. > :47:37.points. How did you feel Andy Carroll played? I think he had to
:47:37. > :47:41.control his emotions today. It was a really good save. He was
:47:41. > :47:46.disappointed he did not score. I cannot criticise him too much for
:47:46. > :47:51.the finish. It was a brilliant save. He loves macro Newcastle. It is his
:47:51. > :47:55.town. He loves mackerel this club. He is under pressure when he comes
:47:55. > :48:05.back. But the handle it well today. He played the game as well as he
:48:05. > :48:09.
:48:09. > :48:15.could. That was the basis of us What with the keys to the game?
:48:15. > :48:20.were the keys? Both teams played a similar system. Both played it
:48:20. > :48:30.differently. Here you have got one with the midfielder running on to
:48:30. > :48:31.
:48:31. > :48:35.the ball. Nolan for West Ham. It is so hard to pick up. You see an
:48:35. > :48:42.example of him running forward. At bread-and-butter finish. With the
:48:42. > :48:47.Carol, -- with Andy Carroll, he often takes two defenders to stop
:48:47. > :48:56.him. He leaves spaces. There is nobody better than making those
:48:56. > :49:04.forward runs than Nolan. Attacking midfielders. They get goals. Nolan
:49:04. > :49:09.is like that. Newcastle playing with two strikers. Sort of a split
:49:09. > :49:17.striker situation. This seemed to be always coming in with their back
:49:17. > :49:27.to goal. Noel and runs on to play. Borth, insured. Trying to get the
:49:27. > :49:32.ball to feet. It is very difficult. -- both coming short. You get
:49:32. > :49:38.frustrated. You're not getting enough service. You come too deep.
:49:38. > :49:43.You were looking to get on the ball. Again another 30 yard shot. Not
:49:43. > :49:50.really troubling West Ham. You would prefer a further link play
:49:50. > :49:57.with Papiss Cisse. Similar Fourniret -- formations but played
:49:57. > :50:02.in a different way. Liverpool did not want Andy Carroll. This season,
:50:02. > :50:07.Alan Pardew said Newcastle would love mackerel to have him back.
:50:07. > :50:11.would be in my side. When he came to Liverpool initially, he was
:50:11. > :50:19.injured. He had a hard time at the start of last season. Last season
:50:19. > :50:23.he was unplayable. He was a nightmare. Franny defender that is.
:50:23. > :50:29.His height is invaluable. People forget about how good he is in his
:50:29. > :50:37.own box. In the last 10 or 15 minutes, he was playing the holding
:50:37. > :50:41.position. Great header under pressure. He gets fouled. We pick
:50:41. > :50:48.him up here. He is sitting in front of the back four, which is
:50:48. > :50:53.incredible for a centre-forward. I do not think the two sitting beside
:50:53. > :51:03.me could sit -- play in that position. This is absolutely
:51:03. > :51:03.
:51:03. > :51:06.frightening. Wonderful play. He has -- he is like the boys, he has not
:51:06. > :51:12.scored in the Premier League yet. But it by was anything to do with
:51:12. > :51:18.Liverpool, he would be in my team. Newcastle are 11 points down on
:51:18. > :51:23.where they were last season. West Ham up to six. Do you see West Ham
:51:23. > :51:28.or performing and Newcastle underperforming? I think people
:51:28. > :51:31.would say West Ham appointing above their weight. Newcastle have got a
:51:31. > :51:37.pretty good squad. He would be expecting them to do better. The
:51:37. > :51:44.second season for them will be tough. West Ham, it is a typical
:51:44. > :51:50.Sam Allardyce team. They are strong, they know how to get results.
:51:50. > :51:58.playing devil's advocate. A little bit of re-evaluation on West Ham.
:51:58. > :52:02.How much have they punching above their weight? -- pinpointing.
:52:02. > :52:08.has a system and you know what you need to do in that system. It has
:52:08. > :52:11.always been successful for him. West Ham, because of having been
:52:11. > :52:17.promoted, are doing better than they would expect. But you look at
:52:17. > :52:25.the talent they have to call on, but yes, they are punching above
:52:25. > :52:35.their weight. New Castle are better. -- Newcastle. The highlights from
:52:35. > :53:10.
:53:10. > :53:14.Yesterday's action now. We begin you are beaten. For some teams
:53:15. > :53:19.coming back from the brink is in their DNA. Others struggle to hold
:53:19. > :53:27.on to what they have got. No matches over until it is over, a
:53:27. > :53:37.philosophy Liverpool -- Everton have embraced. It applies double
:53:37. > :53:42.
:53:42. > :53:52.when a Manchester United are in of half-time, Aston Villa take the
:53:52. > :54:05.
:54:05. > :54:15.lead. The biggest goal in his Weimann again! Manchester United
:54:15. > :54:21.looked for a flag but it was not there. Sensational. Hernandez! A
:54:21. > :54:31.brilliant finish. Manchester United's super substitute brings
:54:31. > :54:41.
:54:41. > :54:51.What an impact! Aston Villa 2, Hernan bit too. Steered it between
:54:51. > :54:53.
:54:53. > :54:58.three defenders. It has gone enough were Ron Vlaar. -- it has gone
:54:58. > :55:08.enough Ron Vlaar. Hernandez complete United's comment! Just

:55:08. > :55:55.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 48 seconds

:56:59. > :57:08.Giroud. Arsenal have been gifted one last chance. Penalty! It is a
:57:08. > :57:18.penalty to Arsenal. Looked like handball. 50th minute of the second
:57:18. > :57:24.half. Saved by sue fords or! -- shorter! Arsene Wenger cannot
:57:24. > :57:34.believe it. That is the full-time whistle. Mark Schwarzer is the hero

:58:48. > :58:56.leading the way. He played with him? I did. They spread their goals
:58:56. > :59:01.around. Berbatov is a sheer class. The manager certainly knew he was
:59:01. > :59:07.top class. He was just going for at a different type of player at the
:59:07. > :59:14.time, maybe adding some more pace. Who would have captured him in the

:05:27. > :05:31.something nice about me. I pointed out so many mistakes to the guys
:05:31. > :05:35.but they did not want put them in. Stoke need goals, you were not
:05:35. > :05:42.playing. You must cut the figure of frustration at the moment? Yes, it
:05:42. > :05:46.is frustrating, being injured is frustrating. The team have played
:05:46. > :05:51.particularly well this season. The last two games probably not so well,
:05:51. > :05:54.away at Norwich and we were not at our best yesterday even though we
:05:54. > :05:59.won 1-0. But by and large we have played pretty well this year. We
:05:59. > :06:06.have played a lot of the big boys. A lot of drawers. We would like to
:06:06. > :06:12.have turned them into wins. Goalscoring has been our problem.
:06:12. > :06:17.You are the man. How far away are you from being fit? Two or three
:06:17. > :06:22.weeks. I missed pre-season. You get yourself into some sort of rhythm
:06:22. > :06:26.and it goes. I am hoping. Is it a big thing when you miss pre-season
:06:26. > :06:31.when you are older? I would probably say so, yes. The legs do
:06:31. > :06:35.not carry you as well as they used to. A couple of weeks away,
:06:36. > :06:40.hopefully I can score. Michael, when you are not playing, you fill
:06:41. > :06:46.your mind up with other things. How is the Village People tribute band
:06:46. > :06:51.going?! We will leave it there. A big day of football and weekend
:06:51. > :06:56.summit it on Match Of The Day to as some thing like this. -- we can sum
:06:56. > :07:05.it up on Match Of The Day to. The Etihad is the Garden of Edin as
:07:06. > :07:12.Dzeko comes off the bench and breaks Spurs' hearts. SWEARS --
:07:12. > :07:14.Suarez bridges the gap. One of the prodigal sons was one too many for
:07:15. > :07:24.Newcastle as West Ham pick up an impressive three points at St

:07:28. > :07:38.United lead the way. Everton have a strong start to the season and dark

:07:43. > :07:48.reach double figures in the points column. Now the alternative table,
:07:48. > :07:53.the most goals scored by substitutes. Dzeko and Hernandez
:07:53. > :07:58.are the headlines this weekend. Basic second and third respectively
:07:58. > :08:06.for most goals scored by super subs. It is Fulham who are still top of
:08:06. > :08:11.them all. Look at Jason's read it in 5th. Liverpool are amongst the
:08:11. > :08:17.quartet of clubs at the bottom. Mr Owen hopes to change that soon.
:08:17. > :08:21.That is all from us, when almost all footballers wore the poppy to
