:14:08. > :14:14.is one of the traits we are trying to instil in the team, we have
:14:14. > :14:18.scored a lot of goals in the 70th- 80th minute, and we need to keep
:14:18. > :14:23.going into extra time. It is incredible to see six minutes and
:14:23. > :14:28.45 seconds. It is difficult to understand in any game. You cannot
:14:28. > :14:32.see too many games with five or six minutes, it is difficult. I has it
:14:33. > :14:37.been explained where the time came from? It does that matter could be
:14:37. > :14:41.won not change things. Why do you always get goals so late? We have
:14:41. > :14:46.the best fans in the world and when there is hope and belief in the Kop,
:14:46. > :14:50.they help you suck the ball in. They get behind the team, every
:14:50. > :14:53.decision, and you can feel it as a player. You lift yourself. That
:14:53. > :14:58.game would have gone on another five or 10 minutes and we would
:14:58. > :15:02.have been the winners. I am sure you will have been made aware of
:15:02. > :15:06.the Luis Suarez and Ivanovic biting incident. I couldn't see it.Are
:15:06. > :15:11.your players upset about it? were not talking about that, we
:15:11. > :15:15.were disappointed with the late goal. I was not happy that every
:15:15. > :15:19.time he is close, he pushes the defenders around and make the space
:15:19. > :15:26.around himself, so this is what I was complaining to the referee,
:15:26. > :15:29.because he does it every time and we conceded a goal like that at
:15:29. > :15:34.home, that was my comment. Obviously now I know what happened
:15:34. > :15:38.but I didn't see it at the time. doubt you have been made aware of
:15:38. > :15:42.his tangle with Ivanovic. I have been made aware that I can't say
:15:42. > :15:46.anything until I reviewed by self-. I have come in straight after the
:15:46. > :15:50.game and looked at the opportunities, so we will review
:15:50. > :15:54.that after the game. It looks bad, what can you say to a player if it
:15:54. > :15:59.is proving he has tried to take a chunk out of his arm? There will be
:15:59. > :16:09.something to be said, but once it has been reviewed and I have had a
:16:09. > :16:13.
:16:13. > :16:17.look at it, we'll take it from was an acceptable and he has made
:16:17. > :16:22.him aware of that. We have had quotes from everyone, including Luis
:16:22. > :16:27.Suarez, he apologises for the inexcusable behaviour and said he
:16:27. > :16:37.was deeply sorry for what happened. He has tried to contact Ivanovic and
:16:37. > :16:40.
:16:40. > :16:44.says he would like to apologise to minutes, that's changed in one bite.
:16:44. > :16:54.We were watching in disbelief at what he had done. He was having an
:16:54. > :16:55.
:16:55. > :17:01.impact in the game, and for him to disgraceful. It should not happen.
:17:01. > :17:04.It is as simple as that. For Clark, Liverpool against Chelsea, we expect
:17:04. > :17:08.good things and bad things, but we expect good things and bad things,
:17:08. > :17:13.but we're not expecting anything like this, absolutely appalling.
:17:13. > :17:16.he did it we will never know. He has got previous, there is obviously a
:17:16. > :17:20.massive flaw in the character. To watch these pictures that will be
:17:20. > :17:24.going right around the world, it is horrific for Liverpool football
:17:24. > :17:31.club, the history, tradition, and for the player himself. When he sees
:17:31. > :17:41.these images, you know... The will be apoplectic. It is just
:17:41. > :17:48.
:17:48. > :17:52.you cannot defend that, the evidence is so conclusive. It is shocking!
:17:52. > :17:56.He's a brilliant player who has had a brilliant season, and the losers
:17:56. > :18:01.of this will be Liverpool, but lots of clubs will be wanting to take
:18:01. > :18:06.him. We will get to the flawed genius in a second, but we are
:18:06. > :18:14.talking about previous, this was for Ajax in 2010, and this time he drew
:18:14. > :18:16.blood. This was his last game for Ajax. Remarkable that, you know, he
:18:16. > :18:22.has had previous, and that is probably worse than the one today.
:18:22. > :18:26.To do it again is just basically beyond belief. Flawed genius is,
:18:26. > :18:31.history throws them up all the time, and incidents like these are
:18:31. > :18:37.remembered for ever, whether it is Cantona and his kung fu kick, the
:18:37. > :18:41.spitting. It is Luis Suarez and the bite, a flawed genius, does he
:18:41. > :18:45.naturally get more leeway? Absolutely, if you are a valuable
:18:45. > :18:55.commodity to the football club, they will give you more leeway. That is
:18:55. > :18:56.
:18:56. > :19:01.taken for granted, because there is no way... I mean, as I said before,
:19:01. > :19:05.if Liverpool lose Suarez, you know, where will they go from there? How
:19:05. > :19:09.can they replacing? At the club doing the right thing, the club
:19:09. > :19:15.saying it is an acceptable for anyone in a Liverpool shirt to do
:19:15. > :19:21.that, he is a discredit to himself. -- an acceptable. I think they have
:19:21. > :19:27.done the right thing, come out and make that statement. Suarez has to
:19:27. > :19:31.be dealt with by the FA, he will be dealt with internally. How many
:19:31. > :19:40.games banned? What are we looking at question mark He has not harmed
:19:40. > :19:46.anybody. There is previous before. Those scenes, you cannot get away
:19:46. > :19:50.from it, absolutely appalling. The difference between this and most
:19:50. > :19:53.other indiscretions is that nothing triggered it. There was a coming
:19:53. > :20:03.together with Ivanovic, Liverpool against Chelsea, knocking margin
:20:03. > :20:11.
:20:12. > :20:17.that one. -- nothing much in that he has a little flick at Suarez. But
:20:17. > :20:23.every time Suarez plays, you expect this, defenders will try it. Again,
:20:23. > :20:30.a coming together. But nothing malicious, nothing untoward. Again
:20:30. > :20:33.year, they are at each other. And then walking off, there is a
:20:33. > :20:40.sarcastic part on the head from Suarez, but you would never expect
:20:40. > :20:45.what followed on. That is Suarez in any game. This is the good side,
:20:45. > :20:51.look at that pass to Sturridge, he picked the ball out at that pace,
:20:51. > :21:00.what an unbelievable talent. But this flaw in his game. Here, the
:21:00. > :21:04.handball. What a day!But, I tell you what it will be, so many teams
:21:04. > :21:14.will take him, even for indiscretions as bad as that. If he
:21:14. > :21:17.
:21:17. > :21:23.was to go on the transfer list, in, but the finish is absolutely
:21:23. > :21:29.phenomenal. And you would describe it as a hell of a day for Luis
:21:29. > :21:33.Suarez. I want to clear something up quickly, Rafa Benitez said six
:21:33. > :21:37.minutes 39 seconds, we did have a look through that, and when the ball
:21:37. > :21:43.was held about 90 minutes, there was a substitution by Chelsea, they took
:21:43. > :21:49.quite a while to get off the pitch, 41 seconds of inaction. That may be
:21:49. > :21:58.widely played extra minute. Suarez should not be on the page, and the
:21:58. > :22:08.goal has come... But in terms of the timing? The 40 seconds after the six
:22:08. > :22:10.
:22:10. > :22:14.minutes, I think Chelsea were hard this is a knucklehead thing to do, a
:22:14. > :22:17.baby of three, there is a document with it, especially here, and that
:22:17. > :22:22.went around the world, the worldwide trends on Twitter, absolutely
:22:22. > :22:32.bizarre, footballers that Suarez might want to eat! That trended more
:22:32. > :22:37.
:22:37. > :22:44.than the incident. Full. Bacary Lasagne Full. Robbie will tell you
:22:44. > :22:50.who decided to follow Luis Suarez on Twitter. Unbelievable, Mike Tyson.
:22:50. > :22:56.You cannot make that up! Unbelievable! That is how big the
:22:56. > :23:00.story is. If it were not for Suarez, we might be talking about
:23:00. > :23:06.Sturridge. Liverpool in the first half were quite good, and this guy,
:23:06. > :23:16.when he came on, he had a buzz about him, pace, power. He wants the ball,
:23:16. > :23:16.
:23:16. > :23:21.he has got his arms in the air. He has good vision, he looked around,
:23:21. > :23:25.great strike. He changed the game totally when he came on, a great
:23:25. > :23:34.substitution, fabulous ball from Suarez, a delicate finish, he just
:23:34. > :23:36.cushioned it beautifully. Chelsea might argue that both strikers
:23:36. > :23:39.should not have been on the pitch. There is the challenge there. I
:23:39. > :23:42.think that is a yellow card personally, I think the referee has
:23:42. > :23:48.got that right. I think that is a yellow card. He is lucky to get away
:23:48. > :23:53.with that. On another day, he is off. Not a huge amount to talk about
:23:53. > :23:57.in that game, so we will move on! A real chance for Spurs to play
:23:57. > :24:02.themselves right back into the top four mix, but standing in their way
:24:02. > :24:05.at White Hart Lane was a red-hot Manchester City. April is not a
:24:05. > :24:10.great time to be a Spurs fan, they have lost more matches this month
:24:10. > :24:12.than any other Premier League club, they were third and month ago but
:24:12. > :24:17.have now dropped out of the Champions League places and are even
:24:18. > :24:21.a point worse off than at this stage last season, four points from their
:24:21. > :24:25.last four games is not good enough. Manchester City have the FA Cup
:24:25. > :24:29.Final to look forward to, but the title race is all but over.
:24:29. > :24:32.Mathematically, they can still catch United, but they are 15 points
:24:33. > :24:36.behind with a team to play for, and defeated a would give Fergie's side
:24:36. > :24:46.the chance to win the league tomorrow. Your commentator is Steve
:24:46. > :24:46.
:24:47. > :24:51.sprint, not a marathon, and a win for Manchester City would all but
:24:51. > :24:55.guarantee them champions league football next season. Defeat for
:24:55. > :25:00.Spurs, it might look like the Europa League, which would be a major
:25:00. > :25:03.disappointment. Gareth Bale is worth anything up to �100 million
:25:03. > :25:13.depending on which a Sunday paper you read, and he returns for

:26:47. > :26:58.
:26:58. > :27:01.with their first attack of the game, goal by Manchester City. Walker on
:27:01. > :27:09.the line for Tottenham Hotspur just could not reach it from Nasri, five
:27:09. > :27:19.minutes, first attack, Tottenham zero, Manchester City 1. The first
:27:19. > :27:29.
:27:29. > :27:34.four and a half minutes were pretty the shout of pain from Lee Mason. He
:27:34. > :27:38.is not inclined to give anything. Oh, my goodness, that is high from
:27:38. > :27:43.Nasri, over the top of the ball and very painful and very dangerous.
:27:43. > :27:46.Samir Nasri is a bit lucky he is only walking off the pitch to get a
:27:46. > :27:56.word in easier from David Platt, because he could have been walking
:27:56. > :28:18.
:28:18. > :28:22.rushes from his goals and ate him up. It is, by a long way,
:28:22. > :28:32.Tottenham's best chance, though, picked out brilliant by Dempsey, but
:28:32. > :28:35.
:28:35. > :28:45.to be honest, the Joe Hart save City, it has come too late, eight
:28:45. > :28:49.
:28:49. > :28:51.wins in nine if you take in the FA wide. Well, he might have doubled
:28:51. > :29:01.Manchester City's ad vantage year, maybe he should have, but I think
:29:01. > :29:07.
:29:07. > :29:17.you have to credit Vertonghen, who Manchester City fans, Roberto

:30:05. > :30:11.
:30:11. > :30:21.and it is another corner. -- save. Stuck his hand out quickly

:30:46. > :30:51.Dempsey. Manchester City would have been incensed to concede from an
:30:51. > :31:01.unchallenged header from a corner, but they nearly did. He is looking
:31:01. > :31:07.
:31:07. > :31:17.for signs that Spurs are going to this. Not a very good clearance by

:34:11. > :34:17.Hotspur. It is Bale, it is brilliant, it is three! 3 Tottenham
:34:17. > :34:27.Hotspur goals in seven minutes, Manchester City are blown apart by
:34:27. > :34:32.
:34:32. > :34:39.Spurs. Wonderful goal. Just a delightful finish from Gareth Bale.
:34:39. > :34:49.And that will probably win this game and leave Manchester United

:35:02. > :35:43.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 41 seconds

:35:48. > :35:53.for Tottenham Hotspur and the Champions League places, it is game
:35:53. > :36:00.on. It means that for Manchester City and the Premier League title,
:36:00. > :36:06.it is game over. What a different mood in the
:36:06. > :36:12.dressing room after that. Yes. A great game. We did ever so well to
:36:12. > :36:18.come back into it. Our first half, we weren't playing with confidence
:36:18. > :36:22.and credit to them, I think the boys understand that they have been
:36:22. > :36:28.in that position before at half- time where we were losing and we
:36:28. > :36:34.always have the desire to come back in two games, we have to It Against
:36:34. > :36:39.numerous teams at White Hart Lane before. -- done it. I can't believe
:36:39. > :36:45.we have lost this game, we had it under control and we played very
:36:45. > :36:49.well full 80 minutes. And we had the chance to score. This is our
:36:49. > :36:55.problem this year, when we have the chances, we don't score. Today is
:36:55. > :36:59.the mirror of our season, because we played very well, Tottenham is a
:36:59. > :37:04.very good team, but we had the chance to score a second goal and
:37:04. > :37:09.to close the game. We knew if we got one goal, it would get us back
:37:09. > :37:15.in the game and I thought the boy showed a lot of character and were
:37:15. > :37:19.able to get those three points. We have to get those points and it is
:37:19. > :37:23.in our hands. I think in the end, Manchester United deserved to win
:37:23. > :37:28.this title. And you think that will happen tomorrow? I don't know, this
:37:28. > :37:33.is not important for us. We have another five games and we need to
:37:33. > :37:40.win these games. Manchester United and Aston Villa tomorrow, they will
:37:40. > :37:43.be odds-on to win the league. 60 minutes into Liverpool and Chelsea,
:37:43. > :37:48.famous last words, I said to Alan, there is no way that Liverpool and
:37:48. > :37:55.Chelsea will have as many talking points as that again. But after the
:37:55. > :38:00.game, you changed shirts but there was a moment in that game when you
:38:00. > :38:04.thought it had happened in it. was so good for 65, 70 minutes and
:38:04. > :38:08.two of the best players in the country and the world, Vincent
:38:08. > :38:16.Kompany and Gareth Bale, Vincent Kompany was omnipotent for the
:38:16. > :38:25.first 70 minutes and Bale was invisible, then it was reversed.
:38:25. > :38:29.Bale came to life. The situation here, I am the centre box --
:38:29. > :38:33.centre-half in the box and you are Bale. I want to take a position
:38:33. > :38:38.where my weight is neutral, so I can go left or right. If my weight
:38:38. > :38:42.is on my left side, I cannot go right and if it is on my right side,
:38:42. > :38:48.how can it go left. When Gareth Bale crosses it, his weight is on
:38:48. > :38:55.his right foot, so he cannot get left and Dempsey scores. All will
:38:55. > :39:03.be revealed. As I say, we haven't seen Bale until this. He sparks
:39:03. > :39:06.into life, the run is timed to perfection. The assistant kids in
:39:06. > :39:11.Mosside and he is not offside. This is where I thought he had come to
:39:11. > :39:17.life. -- the assistant gives him offside. Vincent Kompany gets into
:39:17. > :39:24.a tangle with the goalkeeper here and they get away with it. And he
:39:24. > :39:28.sort of half panics. Now, this is a great all in, but Vincent is on his
:39:28. > :39:33.left foot, left foot, weight is neutral but then he goes on to his
:39:33. > :39:38.right foot and the ball is played past him. He cannot get said. He is
:39:38. > :39:44.trying, it is three yards and Dempsey is behind him, his weight
:39:44. > :39:48.is neutral. And for this, he has got to take the forward down the
:39:48. > :39:55.line. You cannot let him cut inside you. How many times have we seen
:39:55. > :40:00.him cut in on his right foot and do this? Again, it is magnificent.
:40:00. > :40:04.Bale, we track his run, it is phenomenal, the run, the pace and
:40:04. > :40:07.the finish is sensational. It is a game that City should never have
:40:07. > :40:11.lost but credit to Tottenham for coming back into it. And you have
:40:11. > :40:17.to give credit to the manager, the substitution seemed they would gain
:40:17. > :40:20.changing. Certainly a day for substitutions. -- Game changing.
:40:20. > :40:25.Now I am the new Gareth Bale, it is professional of me to say that
:40:25. > :40:30.Vincent Kompany wasn't the only one who had a wall. Roberto Mancini
:40:30. > :40:35.will be desperately disappointed with the goals they conceded in
:40:35. > :40:38.quick succession. They were in control, and manual either bile was
:40:38. > :40:43.ineffective and the team were playing well. But this is the first
:40:43. > :40:48.goal -- and by your was ineffective. But there are so many errors by
:40:48. > :40:55.experienced players. Manchester City have eight players in the box.
:40:55. > :41:00.Gael Clichy's effort to get to the ball is pathetic. He shouldn't be
:41:00. > :41:05.going... He should be going out wide, they should be communication
:41:05. > :41:12.with Aleksandar Kolarov. Gareth Barry should be going in for
:41:12. > :41:18.Jermain Defoe. And Zabaleta should be covering the list hold be. None
:41:18. > :41:22.of that happens, and it is a tap-in for Dempsey. The second goal, the
:41:22. > :41:27.space is unoccupied in the pitch because Gareth Barry is tying his
:41:27. > :41:34.shoelaces in open play. Zabaleta, forward thinking, as he has been
:41:34. > :41:38.all season, he runs forward. Samir Nasri loses it and his reaction is
:41:38. > :41:44.pathetic and Alan Said, Vincent Kompany has to live show Jermain
:41:44. > :41:48.Defoe down the line. I have seen him do this so many times. Vincent
:41:48. > :41:54.Kompany is the captain of his country and Manchester City and has
:41:54. > :41:59.to do better. How bad is Gareth Barry at tying his shoelaces? Just
:41:59. > :42:02.did you are watching, that is it, all done. He has had a good season,
:42:02. > :42:07.Gareth Barry, but he should be tying his shoelaces when the ball
:42:07. > :42:11.goes out of play. It is all nicely connected, this analysis, there
:42:11. > :42:16.were not really the signs early on that Spurs were going to be in this
:42:16. > :42:21.game. It seemed to be that the structure of the side was poor.
:42:21. > :42:27.They had five in the middle of the park that were congregated.
:42:27. > :42:32.Emmanuel Adebayor was on his own. City play-the-ball and to be fair,
:42:32. > :42:38.it is good play, but the Tottenham midfield don't ever get near. There
:42:38. > :42:42.aren't many challenges. And it is really easy. And at this stage, you
:42:42. > :42:47.think City are going to finish the game off. Samir Nasri possibly
:42:47. > :42:53.should have scored. We talked about the midfield, looked a congested
:42:53. > :42:58.that is, there is no width at all. Bale playing through the middle.
:42:58. > :43:04.Easy to defend against. It is the same sort of position, five of them
:43:04. > :43:09.are really tight and it is just easy. Again, Emmanuel Adebayor is
:43:10. > :43:16.on his own, City work the ball and Tottenham don't get close. At this
:43:16. > :43:23.stage, it City score again, you think this could be anything. -- IF
:43:23. > :43:31.Cities Corps. This sums it up, Assou-Ekotto, what he is he doing?
:43:31. > :43:35.He is in the back of the net. Who is he marking? But six sensational
:43:35. > :43:40.minutes and Spurs are right back in the top four Hunt. And it gives us
:43:40. > :43:44.something to be excited about. half-time, we were both thinking
:43:44. > :43:51.that Tottenham had gone. I think if they get beaten today at White Hart
:43:51. > :43:53.Lane, the top four finish his all- over, but to be fair to them, Andre
:43:53. > :43:58.Villas-Boas put on three substitutes and it changed the game
:43:58. > :44:08.and it was a remarkable finish. there is more football on the way
:44:08. > :44:25.
:44:25. > :44:35.odds on to claim the title, but if Aston Villa cause an upset, bad news
:44:35. > :44:40.
:44:40. > :44:50.beginning with the other Champions League chasers, and we finish this
:44:50. > :45:03.
:45:03. > :45:09.section with a side already heading and it is a red card coming out, is
:45:09. > :45:15.it? Andre Mariner... Well, he suddenly pulled out the red, and it
:45:15. > :45:19.is, Sidwell is sent off, he has only just returned from a three match ban
:45:19. > :45:29.or a sending off against QPR. Well, it is high, the studs are showing.
:45:29. > :45:39.
:45:39. > :45:49.Arsenal are in front. Walcott's free kick, Koscielny's header, but it is
:45:49. > :45:56.
:45:56. > :46:00.He was trying to find Berbatov in the middle, I wonder if this might
:46:00. > :46:07.have dropped in but for the fingertip of the goalkeeper. We are
:46:07. > :46:14.in the 90th minute now. What is coming out here? It is a red card
:46:14. > :46:17.for Olivier Giroud. He has gone over the top of the ball. Well, he does
:46:17. > :46:27.raises hand in apology as soon as he has done it, but he knows he has
:46:27. > :46:29.
:46:29. > :46:36.done it. This is Leighton Baines. It is not a
:46:36. > :46:44.good pass, Larsson... Stephane Sessegnon has opened the scoring for
:46:44. > :46:51.Paulo Di Canio again! And Leighton Baines' stray pass was quickly fed
:46:51. > :47:01.to Stephane Sessegnon, his seventh of the season. And Paulo Di Canio
:47:01. > :47:05.
:47:05. > :47:09.That very nearly caused a huge problem for Simone Mignolet, Everton
:47:09. > :47:16.are peeling that was a backpass, and it is going to be a yellow card for
:47:16. > :47:26.Mignolet. What an own goal this might have been! A dramatic free
:47:26. > :47:30.
:47:30. > :47:36.kick now, hold onto your hats! This is a really good goalscoring
:47:36. > :47:41.opportunity for a player of Lambert's ability. Great save, top
:47:41. > :47:51.corner strike from Rickie Lambert, unable to add to his tally of 14 for
:47:51. > :47:53.
:47:53. > :47:59.dropped in, and Adam Lallana scores! But the flag has been raised, and
:47:59. > :48:04.the goal is disallowed. In comes the cross, the arm was into the
:48:04. > :48:08.goalkeeper's chest, and as he spilled it, Lallana shovels it in.
:48:08. > :48:18.It might well have just broke the arm of the Southampton man. Either
:48:18. > :48:32.
:48:32. > :48:42.Mary's, Nathan Dyer, and he had a real opportunity here. Two minutes
:48:42. > :48:53.
:48:53. > :48:59.brilliant stop! Excellent work by Steven Davis, and this is his
:48:59. > :49:03.moment. Michel Vorm, with his left boot, preserves a point. Is in.
:49:03. > :49:08.chase for the Champions League, we have deemed the whole show on it
:49:08. > :49:11.until that incident! Let's have a look at the table more for people
:49:11. > :49:17.who have not been able to see it so far. Manchester City are safe,
:49:17. > :49:21.Arsenal are ahead, but both Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have a game in
:49:21. > :49:25.hand. In other words, if Chelsea and Spurs win that game in hand, Arsenal
:49:25. > :49:29.would be in the weakest position. I absolutely hate doing this, let's
:49:29. > :49:35.look at the fixtures and pretend we know what is going to happen!
:49:35. > :49:39.dangerous! I have been saying all season that it would be Chelsea and
:49:40. > :49:44.Tottenham. Arsenal have had this unbelievable run, Man United is
:49:44. > :49:50.going to be tough, but the other three games, you look at that, you
:49:50. > :49:55.look at Chelsea and say their biggest game is against Tottenham.
:49:55. > :50:00.One of them is going to drop points. That is the game in hand. It is
:50:00. > :50:05.very, very tight. What do you think, Robbie? I think Arsenal will
:50:05. > :50:13.be fine, Chelsea have it tough, so I think Arsenal and Manchester City
:50:13. > :50:17.will be in. That is exhibit A, why I absolutely hated, because we are not
:50:17. > :50:22.the wiser! Action now from the other four games from yesterday, the chase
:50:22. > :50:32.for Europe replaced by the age-old battle force a viable. -- for
:50:32. > :50:46.
:50:46. > :50:50.That is a low and dangerous cross, it has gone in! Nolan has is arm
:50:50. > :50:55.raised, but I don't think he touched it, I think it was Matt Jarvis'
:50:55. > :51:05.goal, a wickedly low, deceptive cross. It went all the way in,
:51:05. > :51:13.
:51:13. > :51:17.didn't it? No touch there, Jarvis' Kevin Nolan's 100 club career goal!
:51:17. > :51:22.West Ham looked for Andy Carroll, his strength in the air helped it
:51:22. > :51:29.on, and Nolan's finish was as smart and crisp as so many of them have
:51:29. > :51:39.been over the years. Five minutes to go. Andy Carroll will chase after
:51:39. > :51:55.
:51:55. > :52:03.it, he is on side, going away from Peter Crouch, 1-0, Stoke City! Peter
:52:03. > :52:12.Crouch brought back into the team again today, repays that faith, and
:52:12. > :52:21.it is a big goal. Sit. -- a big goal for Stoke City. What a time that
:52:21. > :52:26.would have been to school your first goal for the club! -- score. Down
:52:26. > :52:30.goes Crouch, he is looking for the penalty, and he gets it. As the
:52:31. > :52:40.headache came in, it ricocheted off the post, and Clint Hill clearly
:52:41. > :52:44.
:52:44. > :52:50.whistle for him not to take the cake, he was not happy that some
:52:50. > :52:56.players were encroaching into the penalty area. A chance to double the
:52:56. > :53:02.Stoke City lead, take two, same outcome! And this could be a
:53:02. > :53:12.massive, massive result for Stoke City. And Queens Park Rangers are
:53:12. > :53:22.
:53:22. > :53:27.sliding ever closer to the plunged into the roof of the net! It
:53:27. > :53:33.is a huge goal for Norwich City. They need these three points to
:53:33. > :53:40.relieve some of the tension. They would certainly like the security of
:53:40. > :53:48.a second goal. In the 50th minute, Ryan Bennett slammed the ball into
:53:49. > :53:56.the roof of the goal. Elliott Bennett, and it goes in, two in a
:53:56. > :54:00.couple of minutes the two Bennett boys on target for Norwich! They may
:54:00. > :54:03.not be related, but they are brothers in arms today. When Norwich
:54:03. > :54:07.needed the goals, Ryan Bennett with the first, Elliott Bennett with the
:54:07. > :54:17.second, a couple of minutes between them, and this game is surely adding
:54:17. > :54:25.
:54:25. > :54:35.he has scored! Well, the script did not have that written within it. And
:54:35. > :54:53.
:54:53. > :54:59.what was a party atmosphere as is flicked on by you and Gouffran!
:54:59. > :55:02.Newcastle are in front after eight minutes. Yoan Gouffran with his
:55:02. > :55:06.second goal in the Premier League, and it is the perfect start for
:55:06. > :55:13.Newcastle. Papiss Cisse was involved, and it just clicked off
:55:13. > :55:23.the head of Gouffran, a very clever header. An interesting change in
:55:23. > :55:29.
:55:29. > :55:39.personnel and shape that Steve Long, the substitute, with one of
:55:39. > :55:42.
:55:43. > :55:48.his first touch is, must have goalkeeper, the crossbar saves
:55:48. > :55:51.Newcastle, then the side netting. This is the closest that West Brom
:55:51. > :56:01.have come, Lukaku only a couple of yards out, crashing against the
:56:01. > :56:13.
:56:13. > :56:18.for West Brom with his first ever goal for the club. It fell kindly

:56:39. > :56:44.talked directly to Ivanovic, which might change the situation, what
:56:44. > :56:48.happens next? The FA are unpredictable. Suarez should get a
:56:48. > :56:52.lengthy ban, but they have got a problem, because Jermain Defoe got a
:56:53. > :56:55.yellow card for that. authorities have a problem with the
:56:56. > :57:04.President, Jermain Defoe got a yellow card, I think they will throw
:57:04. > :57:08.the book at Suarez. Maybe four, five match ban. Yeah, five, six, seven,
