:00:58. > :01:03.There was a time when Sundays were all about reflection, a slowing
:01:03. > :01:09.down of pace, a break from the rat race. A nice dinner, and in front
:01:09. > :01:19.of the telly, with a few familiar faces. These day, it is just a
:01:19. > :01:36.
:01:36. > :01:45.little bit different. Great effort. . Aguero! An amazing, amazing day.
:01:45. > :01:51.The like of which we have never seen. Hello and welcome to Match of
:01:51. > :01:56.the Day 2 in its new permanent slot of 10.25 on BBC One, as Sunday's
:01:56. > :02:04.fixture list threat into keep pace with the traditional Saturday of
:02:04. > :02:09.Premier League action. Next week we have Liverpool and Stoke and Mark
:02:09. > :02:15.Lawrenson and Jason Roberts are bringing you this. The Saints go
:02:15. > :02:20.matching into the lion's den. That is first. Then it is two sides that
:02:21. > :02:28.kept us watching to the bitter end last season. And we pledge to bring
:02:29. > :02:36.you all the important moments from Saturday every Sunday night. What a
:02:36. > :02:40.goal! By Zoltan Gera. We start with the top dog, going for 30 in a row
:02:40. > :02:44.unbeaten at home against a Southampton side hoping to provide
:02:44. > :02:50.a massive upset and make it an unbeaten opening weekend for all
:02:50. > :02:53.three promoted teams. It could all have been so different. That last
:02:53. > :02:58.kick of last season means that Manchester City start in campaign
:02:58. > :03:01.as champions and favourites. Other than that, not much has changed.
:03:01. > :03:05.They still have the star-studded squad and money to strengthen if
:03:05. > :03:10.needs be. They have a home match against a newly promoted side to
:03:10. > :03:13.kick things off. Southampton though, aren't here to make up the numbers.
:03:13. > :03:17.The Saints incepedable rise from the bottom of League One to the
:03:17. > :03:23.Premier League in just two seasons, tells you all you need to know
:03:23. > :03:33.about the team. They came up in style, scoring 85 goal, and arrive
:03:33. > :03:36.
:03:36. > :03:41.with slings in hand. It is David minute, that goal for Manchester
:03:41. > :03:44.City, their first title defence for 44 years, starts against a team
:03:44. > :03:52.returning to a very different place and a different Premier League to
:03:52. > :03:59.the one they left in 2005. City's only major signing makes his debut.
:03:59. > :04:09.Rodwell, following his move from Everton. Otherwise a familiar team
:04:09. > :04:15.
:04:15. > :04:25.and formation, after a preseason Ward-Prowse, in his first league
:04:25. > :04:26.
:04:26. > :04:36.there would be none greater than newly promoted Southampton taking
:04:36. > :04:44.
:04:44. > :04:49.back all three points to the south book of the season, Howard Web,
:04:49. > :04:59.your socks have to be the same colour tape as your socks. That is
:04:59. > :05:08.
:05:08. > :05:14.not the same colour, he could be in looked a good tackle. The referee
:05:14. > :05:24.thought so. Look at that. Aguero is in agony. Is there an awkward twist
:05:24. > :05:25.
:05:26. > :05:30.here. Dear me! It is knee to knee, I suppose he did get his leg caught
:05:30. > :05:36.in between Clyne's. Isn't that just the way football works? The the
:05:36. > :05:46.last seconds of the last match played here, he was the hero, the
:05:46. > :06:03.
:06:03. > :06:10.title winner. His next appearance, Schneiderlin. And Schneiderlin
:06:10. > :06:16.pulls it wide. Southampton not particularly happy about Lescott's
:06:16. > :06:24.challenge on Rodriguez. Aguero, it has been decided, will not play
:06:24. > :06:33.again today. You do have to wonder how long it will be before he plays
:06:33. > :06:40.again. If Howard Webb has seen that different -- differently there may
:06:40. > :06:44.have been a different outcome. Zabaleta, deflected across.
:06:45. > :06:49.Southampton having to soak up a lot now. Is that a penalty? Howard Webb
:06:49. > :06:52.thinks it is. Manchester City get the chance to take the lead from 12
:06:52. > :07:01.yards. Hooiveld, the Dutch defender was the player who was turned and
:07:01. > :07:11.tricked. Jabbed at a leg. Nowhere near the ball. Caught Tevez. Clever,
:07:11. > :07:21.
:07:21. > :07:25.at the keeper. Awful penalty from the European champion. Really is.
:07:25. > :07:31.Lacked pace, lacked accuracy. Lacked everything that a Premier
:07:31. > :07:36.League should have. -- Premier League penalty should have. It is
:07:36. > :07:43.going to come to Tevez. He turns and went for the toe poke. Sill ra
:07:43. > :07:49.wanted it passed to left. Tevez just saw that he had a chance. Dead
:07:49. > :07:53.centre. Had it worked it would have hailed him a genius. Straight at
:07:53. > :07:59.the keeper. Liverpool's manager. Don't suppose his mood has improved
:07:59. > :08:09.much since yesterday. He is here to watch next Sunday's opponent, in a
:08:09. > :08:15.
:08:15. > :08:19.week's time Liverpool versus Squeezed the ball in. Manchester
:08:19. > :08:23.City have reWard for all their possession. They have had to be
:08:23. > :08:27.patient, they have missed a penalty, but Tevez, when his chance came,
:08:27. > :08:33.wasn't about to miss. A goal last Sunday in the Community Shield,
:08:33. > :08:38.question marks about whether he is on side or not, I think may be it
:08:38. > :08:44.was Clyne in the middle, perhaps playing him in line. Perhaps. It is
:08:44. > :08:51.one to debate. Brilliantly finished by Tevez. Real lietsed if he hit it
:08:51. > :09:01.hard enough Davis wasn't going to get down in time. -- realised. I am
:09:01. > :09:21.
:09:21. > :09:28.sure that all is forgiven from get through that. He did and found
:09:28. > :09:38.Dzeko who wasn't ready for it. A big chance for 2-0. Dzeko might not
:09:38. > :10:00.
:10:00. > :10:10.looks up and sees Clichy storming into the penalty area. -- Toure.
:10:10. > :10:21.
:10:21. > :10:28.trying to power his way pation Hooiveld. It Nasri, it is over, off
:10:28. > :10:34.the bar and it is over. There must be a second Manchester City goal
:10:34. > :10:44.coming soon. Great stuff from Tevez. It is all Davis can do to beat it
:10:44. > :10:57.
:10:57. > :11:01.away. Nasri teed up Silva, just not left-wing. Lallana into Guly. Guly,
:11:02. > :11:06.again it is a goal. Ricky Lambert. The man who gets nearly all the
:11:06. > :11:10.Saints goals has got their first back in the Premier League. On the
:11:10. > :11:16.field roughly four minutes, he has had roughly four touchs of the ball.
:11:16. > :11:19.Well, well, well. Guly couldn't get his shot in. Ward-Prowse led it off
:11:19. > :11:24.to captain, a stroke of good luck to get it back like that. Nothing
:11:24. > :11:29.lucky about the finish. That is what he has been doing in the lower
:11:29. > :11:39.devisions for the last three, four, five seasons. Manchester City 1,
:11:39. > :11:57.
:11:58. > :12:07.Southampton 1. All of a sudden it Straight into the wall to get a
:12:07. > :12:12.corner. The more pace than accuracy. Nasri puts it in, just over
:12:12. > :12:16.Kompany's head. Not by much. Rodwell. He sold the pass short.
:12:16. > :12:19.Nowhere near Silva. Look at this for a Southampton break. Davis to
:12:19. > :12:25.the left. How much further can Lallana go. The referee to the
:12:25. > :12:33.right. Davis gets it in. It is Lallana. Davis again. Southampton
:12:33. > :12:39.have the lead! What a turn round. Once again, it is a substitute
:12:39. > :12:43.making an instant impact. Dreadful moment for Jack Rodwell on his City
:12:43. > :12:46.debut. Wonderful one for Steve Davis on his one for Saints. Two
:12:46. > :12:50.minutes on the field this one. It looked as though they made a mess
:12:50. > :12:56.of their big chance here, Southampton, ball needed to go
:12:56. > :13:00.further than that. When it came back today advice, what a finish!
:13:01. > :13:08.We could have the story of the opening Premier League weekend on
:13:08. > :13:18.here. Two changes made by Nigel Adkin, two goals scored by his
:13:18. > :13:41.
:13:41. > :13:46.Toure. Dzeko. 2-2. Manchester City find a way through again. Now they
:13:46. > :13:52.will be out to turn it right round again. Echos of the final day of
:13:52. > :13:59.last season. 2-1, Dzeko makes it 2- 2. Earlier than we had the drama in
:13:59. > :14:09.May. Toure blocked the initial effort from Kompany. Again, there
:14:09. > :14:14.
:14:14. > :14:23.is a bit of luck as it goes out to back come the saipts. This is
:14:23. > :14:33.Puncheon. -- Saints. It needed Clichy's challenge. Clichy has
:14:33. > :14:43.
:14:43. > :14:46.saved a goal. Away go City with scored. As the season started?
:14:46. > :14:56.Goodness me. Everything has switched on in the Etihad Stadium.
:14:56. > :15:31.
:15:31. > :15:37.Samir Nasri, just to add to the one he got in the Community Shield one
:15:37. > :15:42.week ago. Two for two. Order is restored. Manchester City doing it
:15:42. > :15:48.the hard way. Southampton at the back. They found it too much to do
:15:48. > :15:53.to keep out of this Man City team. Adrenalin pumping, having come from
:15:53. > :15:58.behind to take the lead. Lovely finish from Samir Nasri. It is
:15:58. > :16:04.finish from Samir Nasri. It is never easy, Joe.
:16:04. > :16:11.It is the right result but was it the wrong way to go about it?
:16:11. > :16:17.We're not 100%. We made some mistakes but the big problem was
:16:17. > :16:20.missing five or six chances to score when we were at 1-0.
:16:20. > :16:24.defenders have just played against the best forward line they have
:16:24. > :16:29.ever placed -- ever face as a team. That is the best team we have ever
:16:29. > :16:36.faced. We have given ourselves an opportunity to get something from
:16:36. > :16:40.it. We went 2-0 up. Obviously, we knew we were playing the best team
:16:40. > :16:44.in the country. They managed to score a two which we were
:16:44. > :16:49.devastated about but we are proud of how we played. We were the only
:16:49. > :16:54.team who could have lost something out of this game. We missed a lot
:16:54. > :17:00.of chances. But it takes nothing away from the performance.
:17:00. > :17:05.Therefore, with the necessaries respect, I'm saying that we are
:17:05. > :17:10.happy with the three points. More players needed? At the moment, I
:17:10. > :17:17.feel so. Manchester City, getting by on a shoestring budget, they
:17:17. > :17:20.need more players. They feared they had lost Sergio Aguero through like
:17:20. > :17:25.damage -- ligament damage. He has tweeted that he has had no
:17:25. > :17:32.significant damage. We should exonerate Nathaniel Clyne because
:17:32. > :17:37.it was a good tackle. When a player goes down like this, you know it is
:17:37. > :17:42.serious. Hopefully, hopefully it is not as serious as first thought. If
:17:42. > :17:48.it is serious, ligament damage, it could be six months. The man who
:17:48. > :17:53.want to -- who won a tall, to going gain 1, that would be outrageous.
:17:53. > :17:56.Southampton, from League 1 to the Premier League into next season's.
:17:56. > :18:02.And they have covered themselves in glory. And I have been at that
:18:02. > :18:07.position. -- in a two seasons. They have gone out there and performed
:18:07. > :18:12.admirably against the champions. They put in a fantastic shift.
:18:12. > :18:16.manager was clever. He did not start with Lambert. He thought, why
:18:16. > :18:21.start with Lickey -- Rickie Lambert 2 will expand his energy running in
:18:21. > :18:27.chasing. It brought him in later and it almost paid dividends.
:18:27. > :18:32.the difference that City took their chances when they had them?
:18:32. > :18:36.doubt. Southampton will have to get used to that on a regular basis.
:18:36. > :18:44.Especially players like Carlos Tevez. Very clever. He gets his
:18:44. > :18:47.body in a great position. It is a body in a great position. It is a
:18:47. > :18:51.terrible bad mistake by Silva. -- terrible penalty. They have their
:18:51. > :18:59.ability here. It was a great run by Tevez. There was a suspicion of
:18:59. > :19:02.offside but not given. Their ears, bang, he is gone. They will not
:19:02. > :19:10.have come up against anything like that in the lower leagues. They
:19:10. > :19:13.will have to learn quickly. At 1-0, Southampton had to hang on. They
:19:13. > :19:18.created lots of chances. You have to have some luck when you go to
:19:18. > :19:22.these places but City could have got themselves further in front.
:19:22. > :19:26.Some of the passing, this in particular was absolutely brilliant.
:19:27. > :19:31.The quality was magnificent. For most of the game, they did not have
:19:31. > :19:35.their finishing boots on. This was their finishing boots on. This was
:19:35. > :19:40.a great chance for Silva. He did not have a particularly good day.
:19:40. > :19:43.want to talk about Rickie Lambert. In the pub with your mates, the
:19:43. > :19:46.amount of time his name has come up when you talk about players that
:19:46. > :19:52.need to get brought in. When you have a conversation about the
:19:52. > :19:57.Championship, his name is always top of the list. I thought it was
:19:57. > :20:01.brilliant to see him scoring at the Etihad Stadium. We have all looked
:20:01. > :20:06.at him and there is no doubt he has top ability. He worked hard to get
:20:06. > :20:09.this opportunity. His record at Southampton has been unbelievable.
:20:09. > :20:14.He is in the Premier League now He is in the Premier League now
:20:14. > :20:19.Andy Key has got a great chance. Today, he is going for it, he has
:20:19. > :20:23.the opportunity to show them what he can do. He gets good positions.
:20:23. > :20:28.He was hanging out, waiting for the ball. He is always calling for the
:20:28. > :20:32.ball. He is asking for it. He gets the opportunity to get the ball
:20:32. > :20:36.away and there is no doubt he will hit the target. That is the mark of
:20:36. > :20:43.a player who is used to scoring goals. And then there was another
:20:43. > :20:48.substitution. This is brilliant. All of the outfield players are
:20:48. > :20:51.back in the penalty area, and talk about a well drilled outfit. Not a
:20:51. > :20:58.particularly good pass by Rodwell but watch as we move on how quickly
:20:58. > :21:03.they get men forward. It is like the Red Arrows, five against three.
:21:03. > :21:07.They were defending a corner 15 seconds earlier. Maybe even 10
:21:07. > :21:10.seconds, and then they get another. Top-drawer finish. Another
:21:10. > :21:14.substitute Sion. That shows the substitute Sion. That shows the
:21:14. > :21:17.desire from Southampton. Fearless would be one word to sum it up.
:21:17. > :21:21.They went out there playing like they have played their every season.
:21:21. > :21:25.We saw this last season and Southampton have followed it on. No
:21:25. > :21:29.fear. They have had a good go are the champions. They will have been
:21:29. > :21:34.disappointed not to get something from that. That is the keyword,
:21:34. > :21:36.champions. People will be saying, well, that is not the City that won
:21:36. > :21:41.the League. But if that was Man United Winning ugly, we would be
:21:41. > :21:46.saying that was the mark of champions. Games are a light they
:21:46. > :21:52.are a some are how you win the league. -- games like this are how
:21:52. > :21:56.league. -- games like this are how you win the league. Just with this,
:21:56. > :22:01.Colin, Southampton are getting deeper, with a lack of
:22:01. > :22:05.concentration. All we need to do is editor way, as he puts it back in,
:22:05. > :22:08.to the worst possible position. But that is pressure and lack of
:22:08. > :22:13.concentration. You know what, they still had another go. They had a
:22:14. > :22:16.chance to make it 3-3. Obviously, it was not a particularly good
:22:16. > :22:20.finish but I think they can take finish but I think they can take
:22:20. > :22:25.positives from today's performance. Added was a well worked three
:22:25. > :22:31.points for Manchester City. Sergio Aguero, hopefully, is OK but
:22:31. > :22:34.Mancini has been talking, "Poor me, I've only had Rodwell." I have had
:22:34. > :22:38.I've only had Rodwell." I have had a play about. This is alternative
:22:38. > :22:47.starting 11. In blue, that is the team that could replace them. How
:22:47. > :22:51.would they finish? They would be challenging for the title! Up top,
:22:51. > :22:57.you have Johnson, Milner, Balotelli, these are players with a price-tag
:22:57. > :23:02.so why believe could do the job given the opportunity. -- who I
:23:02. > :23:05.believe. He will bring people in. Absolutely. When you win the league,
:23:05. > :23:08.you have to bring players sent because you have to create pressure
:23:08. > :23:11.in the dressing room. The worst thing you can do is if you have
:23:11. > :23:14.players who were sitting there saying, I'm going to play every
:23:14. > :23:18.week because the guy behind me is not good enough. You have to put
:23:18. > :23:21.not good enough. You have to put the players under pressure. Before

:23:57. > :24:02.real Man United stand-up? It is pipe and slippers time for Martinez
:24:02. > :24:07.instead of the usual great escape. The Latics took more points in nine
:24:07. > :24:11.games than they did in the first 27. In the most unpredictable League,
:24:12. > :24:17.Wigan are surely the most unpredictable. Like Wigan, Chelsea
:24:17. > :24:22.had an unpredictable in. Roberto di Matteo led to the blues to the Cup.
:24:22. > :24:25.They have got their swagger back and have not tasted opening-day
:24:25. > :24:33.defeat since 1998. But they have lost their talismanic, life after
:24:33. > :24:37.Didier Drogba starts today. -- the their talismanic.
:24:37. > :24:41.-- of their talisman. 34 years ago today, Wigan started life as a
:24:41. > :24:45.Football League club with a 0-0 draw at Hereford. Seven years ago
:24:45. > :24:50.they started life as a Premier League flop with an unlucky 1-0
:24:50. > :24:55.defeat to Chelsea. There are still a Premier League club, and that is
:24:55. > :25:04.quite an achievement. In its own way, as a guest Chelsea's Champions

:26:14. > :26:20.1-0 Chelsea. From defence into attack in the
:26:20. > :26:25.blink of an eye. Look at this. A lovely turn. A great run by
:26:25. > :26:31.Ivanovic with lovely weight. He had enough of a head start to stay
:26:31. > :26:41.ahead of his man. And he finished with great composure. It was the
:26:41. > :27:15.
:27:15. > :27:23.does the Belgian do? He tries to go outside Figueroa, and it is a
:27:23. > :27:33.penalty. Ivan ran S. We have only played five minutes, and Chelsea
:27:33. > :27:35.
:27:35. > :27:40.have a penalty. -- ran S. -- Ramis. Sticking the right leg out was not
:27:40. > :27:46.a good idea. By do-nothing Wigan can complain about the decision.
:27:46. > :27:55.Frank Lampard, in the six minutes of the game, can put Chelsea 2 L up.
:27:55. > :28:05.-- 2-0. Lampard scorers. And this may be out of reach for Wigan
:28:05. > :28:14.
:28:14. > :28:20.Kerry Dixon for Chelsea. Frank Lampard scores for the 187th time.
:28:21. > :28:23.More importantly, it is Wigan Mail, Chelsea 2. Ratners has not had the
:28:23. > :28:33.start to his career in English football that he would have hoped

:29:40. > :29:45.I don't know how good a view he would have had. It looked to me,

:30:37. > :30:43.touch wasn't the best from Di Santo. Cech got a touch. Luiz with the
:30:43. > :30:53.clearance. It might well have been 2-1. There is the touch, a bit
:30:53. > :31:02.
:31:02. > :31:09.heavy. Allowed Cech to make the arriving. Ivanovic. Deflection.
:31:09. > :31:19.Ashley Cole. -- a good ball. Not known for his goalscoring prowess.

:31:35. > :31:57.
:31:57. > :32:07.enough. He nearly had. Here is Moses. Cool head John Terry. End to
:32:07. > :32:07.
:32:07. > :32:13.end. Torres almost, almost. Credit Ramis, the man who had a shocker in
:32:13. > :32:19.the first half prevented Chelsea's third. Denigh his country man. --
:32:19. > :32:24.denying. I wonder if Roberto di Matteo will try to use the
:32:24. > :32:34.opportunity to discuss victor Moses with his opposite number today,
:32:34. > :32:55.
:32:55. > :32:59.him P They have signed Oscar, I wonder if they will sign Big Bird
:32:59. > :33:07.and the Cookie Monster. You probably have to be of a certain
:33:08. > :33:11.age to understand that. The flag stayed down and Gomez put his
:33:11. > :33:21.header wide. And that is the chance they have been working so hard to
:33:21. > :33:22.
:33:22. > :33:26.create. On side, rightly so. Luiz played him on. Good ball by Figeroa
:33:26. > :33:33.and Gomez is in a great position, and doesn't even threat into hit
:33:33. > :33:43.the target. -- threat into hit the target. -- threat into hit the
:33:43. > :33:52.
:33:52. > :33:58.badly missed. Here is Moses. Gomez. Trying to go outside Lampard who
:33:58. > :34:05.caught him. Free-kick. One or two Wigan fans are wonering why Frank
:34:05. > :34:15.Lampard has not been shown a card here by the the referee. Cech
:34:15. > :34:15.
:34:15. > :35:08.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds
:35:08. > :35:15.Cech. Oh, Gomez. Unlucky, not once by twice. Great stuff from most,
:35:15. > :35:23.Kone at the near post. Blocked by Cech. Gomez really unlucky not to
:35:23. > :35:28.pull that off. Just couldn't quite twist his body to directly overhead
:35:28. > :35:34.twist his body to directly overhead into the net.. Very bright start
:35:34. > :35:38.from ourselves and managed to score two goal, we looked very sharp and
:35:38. > :35:44.a threat. Controlled the game nicely. Hazard had a terrific day
:35:44. > :35:49.today, real quality and involved in both goals. Yes, he has shown his
:35:49. > :35:55.qualities today. It was a plesh to watch him today, so happy days in
:35:55. > :36:00.our team. He is a brilliant, also the other guys who is a signing is
:36:00. > :36:05.good. We change a lot in the team. We expect more hard work, and I
:36:05. > :36:11.think Chelsea can do a lot of decision but we have to be
:36:11. > :36:16.concentrating to go step by step. We started the game really soft. I
:36:16. > :36:22.thought the work could be like of intensity. We started like in a
:36:22. > :36:25.preseason type of manner. If you do that, at this league you will get
:36:25. > :36:30.punished. We couldn't get the first goal. Overall the performance was
:36:30. > :36:34.in the same levels of second half of last season. I like the team
:36:35. > :36:39.Martinez has. They showed the end of last season how good they R I
:36:39. > :36:44.think we had to be very God today to not concede any goal, and then
:36:44. > :36:48.we scored two, so I think it is a very pleasant day for us. I think
:36:48. > :36:51.the managers have summed it up perfectly. All over in seven
:36:52. > :36:56.minutes but a few different desis and it could have gone a different
:36:56. > :37:00.way. I could have. You look at some of the decisions made. It could
:37:00. > :37:05.have been a different in the game. When Di Santo drives forward and
:37:05. > :37:10.has a chance to pass, he doesn't. It cost the side when they broke on
:37:10. > :37:15.them. OK, we will look at some of those incidents as you say, a lot
:37:15. > :37:18.came early on, before the early came early on, before the early
:37:18. > :37:22.goals.. It did. You look here, Wigan are playing the way they
:37:22. > :37:27.usually play, they are keeping it and playing their triangles, here
:37:27. > :37:30.Di Santo shows for the boy, gets it, turn, he has a pass on, it is a
:37:30. > :37:34.fantastic pass to get an opportunity to put the ball in the
:37:34. > :37:39.box. He cuts back in side. Now Chelsea get the opportunity to
:37:39. > :37:42.break. A diamond there and Ramis dives in. You can't do that with a
:37:42. > :37:46.player like Hazard on the half way line. There is Ivanovic, you don't
:37:46. > :37:50.expect him there. What a fantastic run. Here Ramis, there is no danger
:37:50. > :37:53.there, if he stays where he is, there is no danger, they can back
:37:53. > :37:57.it up. As he comes in they are putting themselves in a bad
:37:57. > :38:01.position. He had done great to make that third man run. When he makes
:38:01. > :38:04.it he has the opportunity to get a shot on goal. Something they will
:38:04. > :38:09.be dispointed here. Lampard, acres of space, drives in again and here
:38:09. > :38:12.is that man, Hazard, picking it up. Ramis is waiting for help. He has
:38:13. > :38:16.someone to come in. He comes in with this challenge. And it, it
:38:16. > :38:21.wasn't necessary. He didn't have to go in there. He is waving his arm,
:38:21. > :38:28.saying he hasn't made connection. That is a penalty. There is no
:38:28. > :38:31.doubt about that at all. Here again you can see Caldwell makes sure he
:38:31. > :38:37.lets Hazard know he is in the game. Welcome to the Premier League. He
:38:37. > :38:41.is a tough player and jumps up from that. That was the difference for
:38:41. > :38:45.me between the two. But Wigan, they kept going and there is your man
:38:45. > :38:49.Hazard. The difference between the Hazard. The difference between the
:38:49. > :38:54.two sides. Lampard had a good game. Maybe not as obviously. Wigan, you
:38:54. > :38:57.can't fault the Endeavour. there is no doubt about that. They
:38:57. > :39:00.don't want to be in the same position as last season where they
:39:00. > :39:04.had to play so well to stay in the division, I just think and they
:39:04. > :39:08.have had this for a few year, sometimes they are too easy to
:39:08. > :39:15.score against, it is something they have to rct fi. They will make
:39:15. > :39:19.chances against you, although you worry where the goals are going to
:39:20. > :39:23.come from. At 2-0 this was a big moment for Di Santo. His fist touch
:39:23. > :39:28.wasn't particularly good. It may have changed the game. Another, it
:39:28. > :39:32.is a great chance. Gomez, at the least he had to hit the target.
:39:32. > :39:36.This is Kone, he steals half a yard This is Kone, he steals half a yard
:39:36. > :39:41.on his marker. Direct on the goal and Cech was beaten, and I think,
:39:41. > :39:45.this is Moses, he may not be at Wigan in the next couple of weeks,
:39:45. > :39:48.comes back to Gomez, so it is not a great problem in the fact they are
:39:48. > :39:52.making chance, but they have to start to take them, and they have
:39:52. > :39:57.to make it so more difficult. I mean, Steve Wilson was commentating.
:39:57. > :40:04.He said after seven minutes Wigan had kicked off three time, that
:40:04. > :40:10.probably summed the game up. That is all we are doing. Raise riz we
:40:10. > :40:13.will, no sweeping statements. can't be in crisis until September!
:40:13. > :40:18.With what we know with Didier Drogba gone from Chelsea, for
:40:18. > :40:23.better or worse, Torres is the man. Without a doubt. For him to replace
:40:23. > :40:26.Drogba he will have to get back to Drogba he will have to get back to
:40:26. > :40:28.the game even knows him for. think today we saw that, in fits
:40:28. > :40:33.think today we saw that, in fits and spurts. This is a new team. He
:40:33. > :40:38.is making the run we know him well for. He gets it, turns, positive.
:40:38. > :40:42.He is driving into the box. I have never seen a more blatant penalty
:40:42. > :40:46.than that. That was early in the match. Then again, here. Torres
:40:47. > :40:51.making the runs we know he does so well. This one slightly off side,
:40:51. > :40:55.but the intention is there again, here he is bending his run. I think
:40:55. > :40:59.from Chelsea's point of view that is a positive Torres getting caught
:40:59. > :41:03.off side. He is making the runs. That is what we know him well for.
:41:03. > :41:09.Here again, he is holding his run, makes that run in behind. He has
:41:09. > :41:17.done well. He is under a challenge and he directs it goal wards, so
:41:17. > :41:19.they will need Torres to be playing at his mabs mum. They will play 4-2,
:41:19. > :41:23.at his mabs mum. They will play 4-2, 3-1. It will have Mata in the
:41:23. > :41:29.middle. Hazard on the right. That is what Torres svingsb about. The
:41:29. > :41:33.only worry if he gets injured. You have Sturridge but he is still that
:41:33. > :41:40.age where he plays a little for himself. It will be interesting to
:41:40. > :41:43.see what Chelsea do between now and now and the deadline. On a Match of
:41:43. > :41:46.the Day 3 which will be on line from tomorrow morning we will look
:41:46. > :41:51.at the top ten candidates that could be Premier League players
:41:51. > :41:54.before September 1. As we saw earlier, a dramatic day for sauth
:41:54. > :42:01.Hampton and we begin a round up of yesterday's action with the two
:42:01. > :42:11.sides who joined them in drinking Championship champagne in May.
:42:11. > :42:13.
:42:13. > :42:19.home ties. The sort of matches they will have to take points from if
:42:19. > :42:24.they are to extend their status beyond one season. Reading faced
:42:24. > :42:34.Stoke City and Jason Roth Roberts had to sit this one out because he
:42:34. > :42:51.
:42:51. > :42:56.mistake for the keeper. It is in. Kightly with the goal. He hits it
:42:56. > :43:06.into the ground. That is sufficient to get the better of the keeper.
:43:06. > :43:14.
:43:14. > :43:22.Beaten on the opening day by penalty has been given! A red card
:43:22. > :43:26.for the challenge on mechanic Cleary. Second yellow for Whitehead.
:43:26. > :43:35.McCleary surging run and Whitehead clobbered him, Le Fondre to earn a
:43:35. > :43:45.point. All square. Le Fondre opens Reading's account in the the
:43:45. > :43:56.
:43:56. > :44:00.off side. Or is it? Had Mike Dean given the goal. There was a
:44:00. > :44:04.definite flag. Aston Villa are perplexed. There was a flag up for
:44:04. > :44:08.off side when Vaz Te got the ball. Mike Dean is going to have to talk
:44:08. > :44:12.to Simon Long. He flagged and I think it was for an off side
:44:12. > :44:16.decision, but the goal is given. And West Ham are in the lead.
:44:16. > :44:21.Seeing this again, I think Mike Dean decides that the player who
:44:21. > :44:24.heads the ball on to Vaz Te is Clark and not James Colin, although
:44:24. > :44:34.the official on the far side thought it was off side.
:44:34. > :44:48.
:44:48. > :44:50.Technically if it is played by an a line. -- off the line. What a
:44:50. > :44:53.good piece of recovery by Nathan good piece of recovery by Nathan
:44:53. > :44:59.Baker. Let us pause briefly and start with
:44:59. > :45:04.Reading. We have to talk about Jason Roberts, suspended. Watch
:45:04. > :45:08.yourself, you might get an elbow! You're in the dressing room, so you
:45:09. > :45:16.get a point. He might have thought you deserve to three. Stoke are
:45:16. > :45:20.fantastic are getting what they do. We left the stadium disappointed.
:45:20. > :45:25.And as for West Ham, it feels right with the world when we are blowing
:45:25. > :45:31.bubbles again in the Premier League. Good enough to stay? I think they
:45:31. > :45:34.will be fine. Due in large part to the manager. An Aston Villa,
:45:34. > :45:39.listening to the various disreputable radio shows... The is
:45:39. > :45:43.where you are going wrong. Just the ones at present! People were saying
:45:43. > :45:49.they thought they could struggle. think he will make a big difference.
:45:49. > :45:53.If you keep Darren Bent fit, you will get goals. More action from
:45:53. > :46:03.yesterday as we look at the opening matches from the pack that is
:46:03. > :46:07.
:46:07. > :46:11.City and United this season? Arsene Wenger has flashed some cash but
:46:11. > :46:15.the big story is about to has left at the Emirates. Spurs has brought
:46:15. > :46:19.-- Spurs have brought in changes but any more at the front, and
:46:19. > :46:29.Newcastle are hoping to prove the doubters wrong. Liverpool enter a
:46:29. > :46:43.
:46:43. > :46:53.new era. Only one of the four were Luis Suarez has put it over the bar.
:46:53. > :47:03.This one should have gone end. Morrison's corner. Zoltan Gera!
:47:03. > :47:06.
:47:06. > :47:12.What a goal! Top corner, 1-0. Morrison with a great ball through.
:47:12. > :47:21.Agger is with them. The referee has a look, penalty. He has been sent
:47:21. > :47:28.off. Was it inside the box? Saved to buy Pepe Reina. It was an awful
:47:28. > :47:38.penalty. Martin Skrtel. -- saved by Pepe Reina. Liverpool are
:47:38. > :47:38.
:47:38. > :48:20.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds
:48:20. > :48:27.absolutely stunned. Odemwingie. Two the German.
:48:27. > :48:36.Arsenal are restricted to have chances. -- half chances. What a
:48:36. > :48:46.chance. Wonderfully found by Cesar love. Arsene Wenger's frustration
:48:46. > :48:55.
:48:55. > :49:05.himself! He hit the woodwork. He is back on his game and full of
:49:05. > :49:25.
:49:25. > :49:35.Quite brilliant. Pretty much out of nothing. Newcastle should have had
:49:35. > :49:55.
:49:55. > :49:57.a throw-in. That was a push. Alan penalty. Demba Ba put a leg in when
:49:57. > :50:00.perhaps he should not have done. It perhaps he should not have done. It
:50:00. > :50:04.is a winning start for Newcastle United. I was speaking to the
:50:04. > :50:09.players about the great Olympics and setting an example and I am
:50:09. > :50:12.pushing over a linesman. He happens to be right in front of me when I
:50:13. > :50:17.was trying. There was somebody in the way and I was trying to push
:50:17. > :50:20.him out of the way. It was ridiculous. It was but I hope there
:50:20. > :50:26.are no repercussions. He was so apologetic straight away. Let's
:50:26. > :50:34.talk about the teams chasing the top four. Do you think it is the
:50:34. > :50:40.top two and everyone else? I do. would agree with that. We're going
:50:40. > :50:45.to sound like La Liga. The quality of their squads, Manchester United
:50:45. > :50:50.and Manchester City, is outstanding. The exciting bit is who finishes
:50:50. > :50:55.third or 4th. It is up for grabs. All four of those teams who just
:50:55. > :51:00.featured, they come with an Astra X until September 1st because they is
:51:00. > :51:05.-- there is money to be spent. Tottenham have spent money up front
:51:05. > :51:11.but they may spend more. It looks like there will be changes. What
:51:11. > :51:15.about Newcastle? Nobody is talking about them. I think they are in a
:51:15. > :51:19.lovely position. They were very close to the top four last year. It
:51:19. > :51:25.might be more difficult this season. What do you think will be the top
:51:25. > :51:29.seven or eight, I bet they all buy players before September 1st.
:51:29. > :51:35.Newcastle would be great to keep Cisse and Demba Ba when the window
:51:35. > :51:38.shuts. Before we finish our round- up but yesterday, a look ahead to
:51:39. > :51:42.tomorrow night. It is a tough start tomorrow night. It is a tough start
:51:42. > :51:46.for Manchester United, Everton at Goodison. You can hear that game on
:51:46. > :51:49.BBC Radio 5 Live. It is a three- hour show and it begins with a big
:51:49. > :51:57.interview with Jose Mourinho. interview with Jose Mourinho.
:51:57. > :52:03., -- a just and talking about himself? It is just cliches and
:52:04. > :52:09.confidence. You fancy him for the top 10. You do, and the manager
:52:09. > :52:13.keeps churning them out. They have lost Tim Cahill, maybe he was not
:52:13. > :52:17.the player they thought he was. BR revolving and the manager has had
:52:17. > :52:20.that opportunity. He will always want to that players. It will
:52:20. > :52:26.probably be frustrating but I think the side could do well in this
:52:26. > :52:30.division. Jelavic, Naismith, Pienaar, are Osman, they will do
:52:30. > :52:36.well in the Premier League. -- Osman. The Rangers players to have
:52:36. > :52:41.come down, we have seen Davies scored today and Naismith. As for
:52:41. > :52:46.United, it reminds me in 1999, an embarrassment of riches. Probably
:52:46. > :52:50.more worries at the back if you look at the starting line-up.
:52:50. > :52:53.think he will get rid of Berbatov before the transfer window. The
:52:53. > :52:57.problem, going into this game, they are struggling for central
:52:57. > :53:01.defenders. We are speculating that Carrick might have to play as a
:53:01. > :53:07.centre-back. Because of Jones and Smalling and Ferdinand and
:53:07. > :53:10.everybody not been fit. Still, they are a strong team and you sense
:53:11. > :53:14.that the manager has the bit between his teeth this year. And on
:53:14. > :53:18.that subject, Match of the Day last night, everybody went for the Blues
:53:19. > :53:22.to win the league. Last year, we all went for City. Where are we
:53:22. > :53:27.this year? I'm going for United and I did that before Aguero got
:53:27. > :53:30.injured. I am going for United and I will stick with them. Same year.
:53:30. > :53:40.We have drawn the battle lines. If We have drawn the battle lines. If

:53:47. > :53:50.adventurous last year and had outstanding seasons. In the summer,
:53:50. > :53:55.both lost their brilliant young managers, so it is like starting
:53:55. > :54:05.over again. They both began their campaigns in West London but that

:57:09. > :57:14.he has tried to do. -- you can see what he is trying to do. David
:57:14. > :57:18.Silva has tried to do the same thing. It is terrible. It looks
:57:18. > :57:23.awful when you miss it, and so good when you get it. You know what
:57:23. > :57:27.you're getting from Lampard, usually a goal. That is a top-
