:11:30. > :11:36.
:11:36. > :11:43.to show for it. It has not been the best day. Scott Parker gets his
:11:43. > :11:53.first taste of first-team football this season. He has not played
:11:53. > :11:55.

:12:31. > :12:34.

:12:44. > :12:53.the reaction it elsewhere. And that is a yellow card. Jake Livermore

:13:53. > :13:59.Spurs were not at their best. But Spurs were not at their best. But
:13:59. > :14:07.that old seals it. -- old. That was hard work for your team today.
:14:07. > :14:13.had 23 shops and so much possession. We managed to keep on being patient
:14:14. > :14:20.and persistent. Swansea defending extremely well. Defensively I think
:14:20. > :14:27.we did well but attacking, just the last 10% we missed. I'm pleased
:14:27. > :14:31.with the performance of my 18. It was a difficult away game. With
:14:31. > :14:38.this season you have had it is hard to be critical but for me you did
:14:38. > :14:46.not pass the ball as well as Swansea. I think that is correct.
:14:46. > :14:52.We missed some passes. And with the runners that they have. Lennon and
:14:52. > :15:01.Defoe as well, it gets difficult. In the end the goal came from a
:15:01. > :15:08.long like we sauce, if you like. an unlikely source. We managed to
:15:08. > :15:12.get it through a set piece. There was just a touch on the ball.
:15:12. > :15:22.little touch but there was no time to think. I think it was a good
:15:22. > :15:26.
:15:26. > :15:36.ball. I love scoring goals and they think I'm able to.
:15:36. > :15:39.
:15:39. > :15:49.A lovely strike. Spurs on a roll. Spurs would be top of the leak if
:15:49. > :15:50.
:15:50. > :16:00.games ended after 18 minutes. Here I have highlighted so much that
:16:00. > :16:01.
:16:01. > :16:09.I have highlighted so much that they did write today. -- right.
:16:09. > :16:16.That was a thumping tackle would put Spurs on the front foot. Three
:16:16. > :16:26.of them going around the ball. Putting them on the front foot
:16:26. > :16:32.
:16:33. > :16:39.again. Gallas closing them down. They're still probing, trying to
:16:39. > :16:47.get the front foot. Eventually they win it back. They have done it all
:16:47. > :16:53.afternoon. They were fantastic in that department. The White in
:16:53. > :17:02.collectively and they were superb. What is it like when you're getting
:17:02. > :17:08.pressed like that. The important thing is you have to go with
:17:08. > :17:15.numbers. My mate has got to be behind me. There has to be the
:17:15. > :17:21.trigger. The midfield will go, the winner will go. If you do that
:17:21. > :17:25.against Swansea you'll get success. On subject of success, Jermaine
:17:25. > :17:32.Defoe gets into all the right positions. But it was a strange day
:17:32. > :17:41.for him. I am a big fan of his. But the one thing he did not have today
:17:41. > :17:51.was his goalscoring builds. When Spurs get 23 attempts at goal he is
:17:51. > :17:51.
:17:51. > :17:59.normally on the score sheet. Adebayor puts it in. Normally Defoe
:17:59. > :18:09.finds that bottom corner. How many times have we seen that. That is a
:18:09. > :18:11.
:18:11. > :18:15.bit of a tame shot from a player of his quality. This again, bad
:18:15. > :18:25.control for a player of his quality. This was his best chance in the
:18:25. > :18:28.
:18:28. > :18:35.game. You would bank on Jermaine Defoe scoring there. In this one,
:18:35. > :18:42.you have to draw the defender out. Commit the defender. He played it
:18:42. > :18:46.too wide and too soon. He was frustrated all afternoon. You could
:18:46. > :18:54.see his frustration. He has had to our three different strike partners
:18:54. > :19:01.this year. He might just be showing a bit of frustration. And what
:19:01. > :19:09.about Swansea. What was missing for them going forward. Well they
:19:09. > :19:17.failed to get this man who has played unbelievably well for
:19:17. > :19:22.Swansea this year. We highlight him playing today and he was
:19:23. > :19:32.outstanding again. Swansea did not get any goals today because they
:19:33. > :19:39.
:19:39. > :19:49.did not get Michu in the right areas. He comes back. When he gets
:19:49. > :19:59.it he should be playing it straight into the front man. Look at his
:19:59. > :20:01.
:20:01. > :20:11.reaction. How well he gets back. That is unbelievable attitude from
:20:11. > :20:17.
:20:17. > :20:22.Michu. He blocks the Spurs defender. And look at his bravery. I think
:20:22. > :20:30.he's actually knocked out there cold. But not many strikers would
:20:30. > :20:38.even go there. That is a bit of magic. He should have got it on
:20:38. > :20:44.magic. He should have got it on target, really.
:20:44. > :20:51.As soon as you see an incident like that, the referee seemed to have
:20:51. > :20:59.spotted it straight away. It was a very quick attack. He'd look a
:20:59. > :21:09.little later than he should have. It was brave from both players.
:21:09. > :21:11.
:21:11. > :21:14.Townshend went on the attack. It caused a bit of a melee. Off we go
:21:14. > :21:21.then to the Hawthorns for a game between two sides who seem to blow
:21:21. > :21:27.between two sides who seem to blow hot or cold. Both teams are said to
:21:27. > :21:37.be having impressive seasons. But defeat today would represent the
:21:37. > :21:47.longest losing streak for West Brom since 20th December 10. Still the
:21:47. > :21:52.
:21:52. > :22:02.Hammers are going well. West Ham have lost three of their last four.
:22:02. > :22:03.
:22:03. > :22:08.But expect them to still have plenty of backbone.
:22:08. > :22:18.It is easy to understand why her run of three straight defeats have
:22:18. > :22:20.
:22:20. > :22:30.not doused the early season optimism for West Brom. There are
:22:30. > :22:49.
:22:49. > :22:59.Ham. And just six substitutes named, three of whom have never played in
:22:59. > :23:29.
:23:29. > :23:39.piece of defending. If fantastic header. The players wearing black
:23:39. > :24:05.

:27:01. > :27:07.that his legs were clipped. It looks a fairly innocuous incident,

:27:41. > :28:05.
:28:05. > :28:12.impeded. One of the defenders came top of the bar. Morison had a prod
:28:12. > :28:22.at it. The referee says it is a corner. Some genuine pressure being
:28:22. > :28:30.
:28:30. > :28:40.goal-kick. Sliced off the side of the boot. He took a swing, and then
:28:40. > :29:11.
:29:11. > :29:15.the post. A bit of a mess in the West Brom merrier but nothing messy
:29:15. > :29:21.about this attempt. It was bending towards the corner and only just
:29:21. > :29:31.went beyond it. Already in the early part of the second half the
:29:31. > :29:51.
:29:51. > :29:54.Jaaskelainen reacted like a keeper who thought he was seeing it
:29:54. > :29:59.swinging towards him. I think this was moving in the air because of

:30:09. > :30:38.
:30:38. > :30:42.was well dealt with again by a Reid. -- by Reid. Just in front of Longer
:30:42. > :30:52.and out of half us -- harm's way. West Brom supporters can sense a
:30:52. > :31:16.
:31:16. > :31:26.clear red for the corner. Plenty more promise about the work from
:31:26. > :31:31.

:31:41. > :32:14.
:32:14. > :32:19.Jaaskelainen is drawn towards it. Claims of a penalty from the West

:32:33. > :32:37.and the handball from the on-target effort from Carlton Cole.
:32:37. > :32:46.It could have crept into the corner, but he hurled himself to his left
:32:46. > :32:51.and he got there. Just as well that Even though they had a considerable
:32:51. > :32:56.amount of pressure with the set plays and corners and a lot of
:32:56. > :33:00.territorial advantage, we have come off the field with Jaaskelainen
:33:00. > :33:03.making only a couple of saves which shows how well we have defended. On

:33:22. > :33:26.Statistically you have not scored for more than five hours, is the
:33:26. > :33:30.reason? I don't look at statistics. I look at the players. I have
:33:30. > :33:34.nothing to worry about in terms of goalscoring because we have proved
:33:35. > :33:38.we can score. The bouts of the ball, the rub of the green, whatever you
:33:38. > :33:42.want to call it, it's not going for us -- the bounce of the ball. We
:33:42. > :33:47.had to stop the run of three defeats, and we defended as if we
:33:47. > :33:50.really wanted to get the result, so for me, that's pleasing.
:33:50. > :33:57.defenders enjoy clean sheets as much as the strikers enjoy the
:33:57. > :34:01.goals? That is what I'm paid to do, stop the ball going in the net.
:34:01. > :34:05.Just a thought about the form you have been in as a team, how much as
:34:05. > :34:09.the number of absentees affected it? We have got a lot of injuries
:34:09. > :34:14.but we can't use that as an excuse. We came input in a solid
:34:14. > :34:17.performance with those injuries, we have to keep on with what we have
:34:17. > :34:22.got. You cannot look at the injuries you have to look at the
:34:22. > :34:26.Games in front of us. We are very happy and we deserve to be where we
:34:26. > :34:32.are today. Even losing the three games, we are still there, so we
:34:32. > :34:35.have done a great job. When losing games a bit of doubt creeps in and
:34:35. > :34:39.you lose confidence, but I hope from today we can stop the bad
:34:39. > :34:45.spell and build the confidence and start winning again. At the moment
:34:45. > :34:49.we are struggling to get a win they will come if we keep churning out

:35:21. > :35:24.West Brom will be a bit more disappointed not to take the three

:36:06. > :36:11.at times, and West Brom did that today. Peter Odemwingie had a shot.
:36:11. > :36:14.A decent effort but it doesn't s the goalkeeper. You have got your
:36:14. > :36:19.centre-forward running out wide, and you do not want him there, he

:36:23. > :36:27.Ham and they have seven defenders back and midfielders. Seven bodies,
:36:27. > :36:30.plus the goalkeeper and only three West Brom players. They need to
:36:30. > :36:35.throw more bodies in the box. Odemwingie, looking to take people
:36:35. > :36:41.on. He was the bright spark for West Brom. A good ball across the
:36:41. > :36:44.box and West Brom -- West Ham clear it. Odemwingie is looking to put
:36:44. > :36:51.the ball into that shaded area but no West Brom play is looking to run
:36:52. > :37:00.into it. In the end he does quite well. West Ham get lucky. Again,
:37:00. > :37:05.Morrison gets up. Great header. He misses out the main two centre-
:37:05. > :37:08.halves and Morrison, only small, but shows bravery. Overall, I
:37:08. > :37:12.thought West Brom deserved it a little bit more after the game.
:37:12. > :37:19.They were the team forcing the three points that you have to give

:39:09. > :39:16.Again, James Collins, get out! Fantastic defensive play. They
:39:16. > :39:19.deserve a point for it. When I was a West Ham, Harry Redknapp said
:39:20. > :39:25.historically they had been a soft touch on the road, but they aren't
:39:25. > :39:32.now. Over five hours without a goal for West Brom. We talk about it as
:39:32. > :39:37.a team, and we. A West Brom, but I'm sure scoring goals at a
:39:37. > :39:40.personal level, you crave it like a smoker craves nicotine. What is it
:39:40. > :39:45.if your Odemwingie or Shane Long, surely it affection even in
:39:45. > :39:48.training? You practise in training and hitting the back of the net as
:39:48. > :39:53.much as you can. But you need a little bit of luck as well. You
:39:53. > :39:59.need one to going off your heel. Especially when you are the record
:39:59. > :40:04.transfer fee, like I was, there is more money and pressure and the
:40:04. > :40:10.expectancy level than someone who came through the ranks. Notice how
:40:11. > :40:20.we never mentions that. Swiftly moving on, let's look at the BBC
:40:21. > :40:31.
:40:31. > :40:34.Match of the Day 3 will be online and on the red button tomorrow. In
:40:34. > :40:37.honour of Aston Villa's kids, we'll be picking a Premier League Teenage
:40:37. > :40:43.11. Tomorrow night, BBC Radio 5 Live has live commentary of Reading
:40:43. > :40:46.v Arsenal. No clean sheets on Saturday in the
:40:46. > :40:56.Premier League, and we begin our round up with two battles between
:40:56. > :41:02.
:41:02. > :41:08.the north west and the north east, was a chance for the Manchester
:41:08. > :41:12.poised to extend their lead at the top. Siddique faced Newcastle was
:41:12. > :41:18.Sunderland went in search of their first win at Old Trafford since
:41:18. > :41:28.1968. Liverpool were on a good run unsupervised the children of Aston
:41:28. > :41:31.
:41:31. > :41:40.Villa, the youngest team seen in the Premier League this season.
:41:40. > :41:50.Benteke! To give Aston Villa the lead. In off the post and into the
:41:50. > :42:13.
:42:13. > :42:23.back of the net. Benteke on the move. Villa are 2-0 up at Anfield.
:42:23. > :42:24.
:42:24. > :42:34.A freak header. That was as strong a shout from Liverpool. He clearly
:42:34. > :43:06.
:43:06. > :43:13.got hold of his shirt there. will just be a consolation.
:43:13. > :43:23.Lovely ball. Samir Nazri onside and it is tucked into the back of the
:43:23. > :43:24.
:43:24. > :43:32.net by a Aguero. Manchester City have taken the lead. That is a
:43:32. > :43:42.glorious bit of vision and execution it from Yaya Toure. It
:43:42. > :43:48.
:43:48. > :43:54.has gone in. Garcia up with a header. Manchester City are 2-0 up.
:43:54. > :44:01.While it was it not have blocked on the line? And into the back of the
:44:01. > :44:11.net from Demba Ba. Newcastle have a foothold back in the game. And that
:44:11. > :44:26.
:44:26. > :44:32.was a soft goal to concede. Cisse missed a great chance! Poked
:44:32. > :44:42.in by Yaya Toure and that will probably settle the game. He has
:44:42. > :45:05.
:45:05. > :45:14.United take the lead. From their Van Persie rarely misses. And a
:45:14. > :45:24.fine finish. As smashing goal. Really well worked. Manchester
:45:24. > :45:32.
:45:32. > :45:37.United have scored two in three minutes. Rooney stabs it in.
:45:37. > :45:47.Sunderland were in shambolic defence. Manchester United now
:45:47. > :45:53.
:45:53. > :46:02.surely heading for three points. In comes the corner kick. That
:46:02. > :46:08.deflected on the throne. And Sunderland have a goal. It is
:46:08. > :46:11.special for Fraser Campbell. special for Fraser Campbell.
:46:11. > :46:17.Sunderland much improved in this second half. It is coming up to
:46:17. > :46:24.Christmas and the season of goodwill. I was going to get the
:46:24. > :46:29.footage out and play it. Before this season you were talking about
:46:30. > :46:34.Aston Villa. It takes the big man to withdrawal of comment. A by
:46:34. > :46:40.going to go back on what I said? What I will say is that they are
:46:40. > :46:43.improving. They are a young team with some fantastic players. At
:46:43. > :46:53.with some fantastic players. At this minute in time I have to give
:46:53. > :46:56.
:46:57. > :47:06.them huge credit. They're doing exceptionally well. Benteke, great
:47:07. > :47:10.
:47:10. > :47:19.strength. You like that partnership? Great awareness.
:47:19. > :47:29.pairing they are doing really well. I was at the game yesterday and
:47:29. > :47:30.
:47:30. > :47:40.Benteke is a beast. He is in the gym quite a lot. If you talk amuck
:47:40. > :47:42.
:47:42. > :47:47.Liverpool defensively, the defenders have got to stand up.
:47:47. > :47:53.Liverpool have got to be stronger. They cannot get bullied away from
:47:53. > :48:02.the ball. He seems to get 10% better every time he takes to the
:48:02. > :48:09.pitch. City, what about them. That opening 30 minutes yesterday, they
:48:09. > :48:19.were in top gear. Terrific. The pass from Yang Yun Tory was one of
:48:19. > :48:30.
:48:30. > :48:40.the best I have seen this season Aguero getting the goal. I think
:48:40. > :48:40.
:48:41. > :48:44.they will lose Toure to the African nations. That will be a blow.
:48:44. > :48:54.was another at Newcastle game where they did not necessarily have a
:48:54. > :49:02.
:49:02. > :49:10.stinker. They always have a chance with Cisse and Ba. United have been
:49:11. > :49:13.eight times out, how many times have they won the League?
:49:13. > :49:19.To the rest of yesterday's action now, and one result that ended the
:49:19. > :49:29.Premier League's most unwanted record.
:49:29. > :49:29.
:49:29. > :49:35.At the start of the weekend just 11 points separated Wigan from Everton.
:49:35. > :49:40.Everton hope to take advantage of Chelsea's oriental escapades. QPR
:49:40. > :49:50.had a chance to end a prolonged stay at the foot of the table at
:49:50. > :50:10.
:50:10. > :50:20.stay at the foot of the table at Fulham. Queens Park Rangers really
:50:20. > :50:24.
:50:24. > :50:31.should be leading this match already. Tarabt, neatly controlled.
:50:31. > :50:40.Just what Queens Park Rangers needed. Away he went and he got the
:50:40. > :50:48.deflection. Is this the platform for a first victory of the season
:50:48. > :50:58.for Queen's Park Rangers? What a load shifter it could beat if they
:50:58. > :51:03.
:51:03. > :51:13.can take the three points from this one. Tarabt! Sheer brilliance. It
:51:13. > :51:23.is so casual. Heat almost rolls it into the back of the net.
:51:23. > :51:33.Time is running out for Fulham in this match. And they have got a
:51:33. > :51:35.
:51:35. > :51:45.route back in. Petric with the goal. It is going to be a nervous finale
:51:45. > :51:47.
:51:47. > :51:52.for the home ground. And that is it. It has taken 17 matches but at last
:51:52. > :51:58.Queens Park Rangers have won. They have not had much to cheer about
:51:58. > :52:08.this season but finally Harry Redknapp has his first win as Queen
:52:08. > :52:25.
:52:25. > :52:35.Everton have the lead. The Stoke City captain put the ball into his
:52:35. > :52:44.
:52:44. > :52:54.own net. And Kenwyne Jones has scored. Ending the long drought for
:52:54. > :53:18.
:53:18. > :53:23.was not spotted. But Marouane Fellaini had to go for that.
:53:23. > :53:27.He deserves to get whatever punishment is handed out to him. I
:53:27. > :53:37.have seen it and it is a terrible thing to do. I would expect him to
:53:37. > :54:06.
:54:06. > :54:16.the shoulder. -- Hoolahan with a nice drop. 1-0 Norwich. A brilliant
:54:16. > :54:16.
:54:16. > :55:10.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 54 seconds
:55:10. > :55:17.Sean Maloney. And we give our level. Pilkington. A great goal. Hoolahan
:55:17. > :55:27.puts Norwich front again. Unbeaten since October. Of all the
:55:27. > :55:29.
:55:29. > :55:34.performances yesterday, your mouth was watering at Tarabt. He is
:55:34. > :55:41.fantastic. Other managers have not quite got the best out of him. This
:55:41. > :55:46.is at a different level to anything else on the football pitch. Only in
:55:46. > :55:51.certain players at that level can take the gold the way he did. It is
:55:51. > :55:56.just so easy and comfortable. He is a special talent. And Harry
:55:56. > :56:06.Redknapp is a fantastic manager. A lot of Spurs fans think he should
:56:06. > :56:06.
:56:06. > :56:12.never have left. What does he do, you were in a rut at West Ham.
:56:12. > :56:19.First day back in training, what will it be like? It will be relaxed.
:56:19. > :56:25.He will have a bit of head tennis and perhaps go through some set
:56:25. > :56:30.pieces where QPR come under a bed of pressure. But if anyone can get
:56:30. > :56:35.QPR other trouble it will be Harry Redknapp.
:56:35. > :56:38.Okay, here are tomorrow's headlines today. Despair for Swansea who left
:56:38. > :56:44.their shooting boots in Wales, as Tottenham moved up to fourth with a
:56:44. > :56:48.1-0 home win. And No West Is Best as the Hammers
:56:48. > :56:54.take a point back to Upton Park after their trip to the Hawthorns.
:56:54. > :56:56.Table time. Manchester United remain six points clear of
:56:56. > :57:01.neighbours City, with Chelsea a neighbours City, with Chelsea a
:57:01. > :57:09.further seven behind. Tottenham leapfrog Everton after winning
:57:10. > :57:13.today, but West Brom couldn't do likewise. The Baggies stay sixth.
:57:13. > :57:17.QPR move off the bottom, but are still five points from safety. The
:57:17. > :57:19.Royals replace the Rangers at the foot of the table. They get their
:57:19. > :57:27.chance to respond against Arsenal on Monday. This week's alternative
:57:27. > :57:30.table is a League of Nations, goals scored by nationality. No surprise
:57:30. > :57:33.to see England lead the way, and maybe Spain second. But Scotland
:57:33. > :57:35.fighting off the challenge of a new wave of players from Belguim.
:57:35. > :57:39.Although Benteke, Hazard, Kompany and the rest may well be worth an
:57:39. > :57:46.early shout for Euro 2016. Argentina lead the battle of South
:57:46. > :57:48.America. Aguero and Tevez accounting for 13 of the 17. And I
:57:48. > :57:51.am sure the guys in the studio will agree with me, seeing Wales and
:57:51. > :57:59.Northern Ireland above Brazil in any football league table - apart
:57:59. > :58:05.from fouls - brings a tear to the eye. The Samba boys are level
:58:06. > :58:08.bottom with Bulgaria, represented in this chart solely by Berbatov.
:58:08. > :58:11.That's all on a big night of sport on the BBC, which saw Bradly
