:05:14. > :05:18.Brede Hangeland. It was two footed as he stretched for the ball. It
:05:18. > :05:23.was one footed, but both feet were off the ground as he made the
:05:23. > :05:31.challenge. Fulham will say his foot goes down on the ball and he makes
:05:31. > :05:38.contact with the ball. I think Fulham will feel that is very harsh.
:05:38. > :05:43.As he comes in, he may have seen that from behind as a two footed

:17:24. > :17:30.go forward. Johnson, getting into an area that we know he loves, down
:17:30. > :17:38.the left-hand side. That's right. As the goal comes in here, as a
:17:38. > :17:43.defender you want to see Brian Rees engaging Adam Johnson. -- Brian
:17:43. > :17:49.Rees. Fletcher is begging for that ball to go into that space. But it
:17:49. > :17:53.is a great ball nonetheless. First class touch, clinical. The way he
:17:54. > :17:58.touches the ball, it makes the ball spinning back towards him, that is
:17:58. > :18:02.what Fletcher does, he keeps the ball very close. Towards the end of
:18:02. > :18:06.the game, Johnson getting into areas he likes, down the left-hand
:18:06. > :18:15.side, there is a massive gap because Gollum have to go for it,
:18:15. > :18:18.they have 10 men. -- if Fulham have to go for it. But again, finding
:18:18. > :18:23.the areas that Fulham are leaving because they haven't got enough
:18:23. > :18:28.players on the pitch. Sidwell just got caught under it a bit. Cuellar
:18:28. > :18:33.has got a running jump against a standing jump, only going to be one
:18:33. > :18:37.winner. The sending off was early, in a way does spoil the game.
:18:37. > :18:46.Sunderland fans will not agree. Berbatov, tell me about playing
:18:46. > :18:51.against him. At times he is unplayable. This season, he has
:18:51. > :18:55.been sensational. The strength, along with the quality, he has been
:18:55. > :19:03.a real bargain of for of Fulham. A bit surprised a few others didn't
:19:03. > :19:08.take a punt on him. Good play, anticipation, good strength again,
:19:08. > :19:13.and the touch is first class as always. What he does his team
:19:13. > :19:17.receives the ball, and he let players coming to the game. He very

:19:22. > :19:26.into an area where he wants you to go, where it will be more dangerous.
:19:26. > :19:31.So he thinks for himself and he thinks the first step for the next
:19:31. > :19:34.player. He is two, three passes ahead. He was getting a bit
:19:34. > :19:39.frustrated, finding himself in areas, may be deeper than they
:19:39. > :19:48.would have liked. He has found himself in the midfield area, way

:20:06. > :20:11.he has an unfair reputation. When you have got Berbatov happy, he is
:20:11. > :20:16.very dangerous. He is happy at the moment. A how much of today is

:29:53. > :29:58.Puncheon. He has been sensational. I think QPR could have got tighter
:29:58. > :30:06.to him, every time he got the ball, he leapt forward, look to get his
:30:06. > :30:16.shot away. Again, in an area, his first thought is, can I look
:30:16. > :30:21.
:30:21. > :30:26.forward? Can I get my shot away? He A bad day for QPR. Great day for
:30:26. > :30:29.something -- Southampton. It is time to fill you win on the rest of
:30:29. > :30:39.yesterday's games and even if you have seen them, they are worth
:30:39. > :30:40.
:30:40. > :30:44.weekend, Saturday would have left you with a sore head. Almost
:30:45. > :30:50.everyone would have gone for a win for Manchester United. Most would
:30:50. > :31:00.have backed at Chelsea and we would have risked a draw at the Madejski
:31:00. > :31:26.
:31:26. > :31:34.Whittaker. A marvellous save. Very goal! Anthony Pilkington for
:31:34. > :31:44.Norwich. Look at that cross. And the header matches it and
:31:44. > :31:50.
:31:50. > :32:00.Lindegaard hasn't got a hope. Great John Ruddy. I thought it was in. It
:32:00. > :32:05.
:32:05. > :32:15.would have been an own goal by Paul Scholes! Does he deserve a pat
:32:15. > :32:15.
:32:15. > :32:25.on the head! That's it! That is it! One of the greatest results in
:32:25. > :32:39.
:32:39. > :32:43.brilliant finish from the Irishman. He lovely work from Zoltan Gera.
:32:43. > :32:53.Morrison found space and look at that for a diving header from Shane
:32:53. > :33:04.
:33:04. > :33:14.Hazard with his head. Just watch him. It might have come off Billy
:33:14. > :33:31.
:33:31. > :33:33.Jones. Yes, it comes off the Odemwingie combined brilliantly in
:33:33. > :33:40.the last game here against Southampton and they have done it
:33:40. > :33:43.again. Long turned provider and Peter Odemwingie nods in. Steve
:33:43. > :33:53.Clarke and Albion celebrate their 6th home winner of the campaign and
:33:53. > :34:20.
:34:20. > :34:30.should have dealt with. Shocking have the equaliser! And Reading are
:34:30. > :34:36.
:34:36. > :34:46.Coleman on Adam Le Fondre. Le Fondre against Tim Howard. He
:34:46. > :34:47.
:34:47. > :34:53.scores! Reading League Two to one. -- Reading lead 2-1. Maybe their
:34:53. > :34:58.season starts here. Reading have won this 2-1. They are off the mark
:34:59. > :35:04.at last. I feel obliged to start with West Brom. After a win like
:35:04. > :35:10.that, did you get the day of? in today. And not like the old days,
:35:10. > :35:15.more like the Monday off. This morning you were in full training?
:35:15. > :35:21.You yes. Back training, a hard session, the lad's not involved on
:35:22. > :35:26.the Saturday Play a tough session. Really hard today. I'm thinking
:35:27. > :35:30.that the people who are least shocked about beating the European
:35:30. > :35:35.champions at the Hawthorns of the West Brom squad, management and
:35:35. > :35:39.staff because the signs were there. Your home form has been sensational.
:35:39. > :35:44.Amazing. We have great team spirit, today at the training session
:35:44. > :35:51.everyone had a smile on their face. Everyone is desperate to get in the
:35:51. > :35:58.starting 11. As he was sitting on one bench, the other bench must
:35:58. > :36:06.have been a real tonic before the game. Two first offenders,
:36:06. > :36:12.midfielders... You always look at the team sheet. The best two
:36:12. > :36:19.defenders were out. You can't take anything away from the performance
:36:19. > :36:23.of West Brom, they deserved it. not saying Reading are not in a
:36:23. > :36:28.fight, but if you look after table for the last six games, they are
:36:28. > :36:35.competing. They are 11th on form over the last six games. They've
:36:35. > :36:42.had only one defeat in seven, it is had only one defeat in seven, it is
:36:42. > :36:48.too many draws. Get competitive. Get consistent. They are not
:36:48. > :36:51.getting the credit they deserve. They are working hard. Their
:36:51. > :36:56.performance was superb. Le Fondre coming back, he started in the
:36:56. > :37:03.lower leagues. Stockport, Rochdale, they bought him for 350 from
:37:03. > :37:06.Rotherham. He was a thorn in their side. He worked hard, or was on the
:37:06. > :37:11.shoulders of the defenders. The keeper is nowhere and that was very
:37:11. > :37:15.keeper is nowhere and that was very unfortunate. Trying to get into a
:37:15. > :37:19.position where he will cause a problem. Getting across the
:37:19. > :37:23.defender, that is key. He has come back with confident. Confident
:37:23. > :37:27.enough to take the penalty in one of his first games back. Jason
:37:27. > :37:32.Roberts made a difference because he is strong, but we don't like to
:37:32. > :37:40.say nice things about him, so we looked for some bad moments. This
:37:40. > :37:44.is Jason being brave and strong. Big strong Jason Roberts! This is
:37:44. > :37:49.what he does best, if there's any problems in defence, just Clairette.
:37:49. > :37:57.Always best to clear your lines. Jason making sure there's no danger.
:37:57. > :38:00.We love you! Norwich North sensational, a huge amount about
:38:00. > :38:04.the more Match of the Day last night, but Turner got a bit of
:38:04. > :38:09.stick at the start of the season. Three clean sheets in a row,
:38:09. > :38:13.Bassong as well. They have steadied the ship. Now there's some
:38:13. > :38:19.consistency at the back. The back two are getting to know each other.
:38:19. > :38:25.Yesterday, sensational. They are working as a pair. They are
:38:25. > :38:30.starting to become consistent as a back four, as a pairing. The two
:38:30. > :38:35.centre-halves work together. As a pairing, they are starting to work.
:38:35. > :38:45.Grant Holt back in favour as well. Four more games starting in London
:38:45. > :38:47.
:38:47. > :38:50.mammoth 29 goals in total. It's a hard life being a keeper at the
:38:50. > :38:55.moment and Arsenal and Spurs were at it again, but they were not
:38:55. > :38:59.alone as the goals flew in from the south to the north-west to the
:38:59. > :39:09.north-east. Not surprising given the attacking talent on show in the
:39:09. > :39:14.
:39:14. > :39:18.Defoe is onside. Adebayor! Wouldn't you know it? Within 10 minutes,
:39:19. > :39:26.Spurs are ahead at the Emirates again and Emmanuel Adebayor scores
:39:26. > :39:36.against his old side again. One ball over the top undid Arsenal.
:39:36. > :39:42.
:39:42. > :39:49.Where was Mertesacker going? First challenge. Cazorla has gone flying.
:39:49. > :39:59.He is sent off. He can't complain. His foot is nearly two feet off the
:39:59. > :39:59.
:39:59. > :41:19.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 79 seconds
:41:19. > :41:29.young player. Can Walcott finish terrific block. Forced home in the
:41:29. > :41:36.
:41:36. > :41:42.end by David Silva. There was a side has given a penalty. Silva
:41:42. > :41:47.plays it in... People will be wondering what the referee's
:41:47. > :41:53.assistant has seen. Sergio Aguero has the chance to put Manchester
:41:54. > :42:00.City 2-0 up, which she does very poorly indeed. -- he does. -- very
:42:00. > :42:06.drolly. Appeals for handball and it is another penalty. It is given
:42:06. > :42:10.again by the referee's assistant on the far side. What about this?
:42:10. > :42:20.Sergio Aguero has taken one and scored one, but will not take the
:42:20. > :42:20.
:42:20. > :43:08.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 79 seconds
:43:08. > :43:13.Watson. Watson looks to be in real trouble. Two players with eyes on
:43:13. > :43:17.the ball, but Sterling appeared to leap into the Wigan player. He is
:43:17. > :43:27.not able to put any weight on his right foot. It could be a nasty

:44:19. > :44:28.last six Premier League games, they are not going to get a clean sheet
:44:28. > :44:38.today I that! Michu proves the point. What a moment this could be
:44:38. > :44:56.
:44:56. > :45:00.for the former Newcastle supporter. Brilliant performances from Suarez,
:45:00. > :45:08.Michu, but let shine a light on the young Englishman who played their
:45:08. > :45:15.Raheem Sterling is starting to come to the fore, he is very positive,
:45:15. > :45:25.he is quick, his vision is very good, he picks the right decision.
:45:25. > :45:25.
:45:25. > :45:28.He is one who is standing up for me. So the Ntini years old. -- 17.
:45:29. > :45:34.will be an interesting few months for Walcott, he wants to play
:45:34. > :45:37.striker, his contract is up, he has had a really good season so far.
:45:37. > :45:46.Joe Hart has been getting a bit of stick, but look at the kind of
:45:46. > :45:52.Let's just leave him alone can he is a world-class keeper. Theo
:45:52. > :45:59.Walcott, he speaks great, doesn't he? He doesn't give anything away.
:45:59. > :46:04.Great moustaches well! Are people working out Alan Pardew's Newcastle,
:46:04. > :46:08.or is this about strengthening the squad because of their European
:46:08. > :46:13.commitments? A bit of both, I think he may have exhausted his squad and
:46:13. > :46:18.his options within the squad. There is an element of him being sussed
:46:18. > :46:28.that, but he has a way to go. pleasure to be with you all day,
:46:28. > :46:28.
:46:28. > :46:38.kind of, a more traditional Sunday, Sunderland double they run out of

:46:46. > :46:51.red and white goalscorers in one West Brom's stunning start to the
:46:51. > :46:54.season goes on, their win over Chelsea leaves them just one point
:46:54. > :47:01.behind the Blues. Sunderland's crucial victory puts them three
:47:01. > :47:07.points clear of the drop zone, but no good news if you're a QPR fan.
:47:07. > :47:14.The last team to get off the mark with the head was Sunderland. This
:47:14. > :47:21.is what the table would look like it only headed goals counted. This
:47:21. > :47:28.is all we could come up with to put Steven Reid's team at the top!
:47:28. > :47:34.Spurs are way ahead of Arsenal in this table at least. Surprising
:47:34. > :47:40.deceased boat down the table, but Sunderland are 14th. I think we'd
:47:40. > :47:44.better swiftly get away from this. With Fulham in action today, the
:47:44. > :47:54.most mature squad in the top flight, we thought we would lead you with
