:01:02. > :01:19.The return of the Premier League! He's going to give Manchester United
:01:19. > :01:27.a penalty this time! Great goal, what a strike from Aaron Ramsey.
:01:27. > :01:28.Plenty of talking points, with the Premier League back after the

:01:39. > :01:46.afternoon, as Southampton welcomes West Ham to St Mary's. It is a
:01:46. > :01:48.second-year back in the top flight for these two sides, who were
:01:49. > :01:54.second-year back in the top flight promoted together in 2012. Last

:02:17. > :02:18.Mauricio Pochettino. Watching for signs of second season syndrome,
:02:18. > :02:37.Jonathan Pierce. These sides have only managed to
:02:37. > :02:47.girls each so far this season. The Saints make three changes. Luke Shaw
:02:47. > :02:53.returns at left back. Teenager Ward-Prowse makes way for Jay
:02:53. > :02:59.Rodriguez. Andy Carroll is still sidelined, and Modibo Maiga leads
:02:59. > :03:03.the West Ham attack once again. The brilliantly talented but
:03:03. > :03:07.occasionally troubled Ravel Morrison comes in for his full Premier League
:03:07. > :03:15.debut, replacing Stewart Downing. It is tipping down with rain, a grim
:03:15. > :03:21.portent of the winter to come. Southampton have lost just twice in
:03:21. > :03:23.their last ten league games here. West Ham have not won away in the
:03:23. > :03:43.league in six months. Diame has kept it in. Good turn,
:03:43. > :03:51.parried by the goalkeeper. Put Atkin again by Noble. That was a decent
:03:51. > :03:58.block by Boruc. Diame getting forward well. That was too easy, the
:03:58. > :04:04.young full-back was a bit naive on that occasion.
:04:04. > :04:21.So, West Ham have had at least one shot on target. Schneiderlin, who
:04:21. > :04:26.had a terrific season last time out. It has come to Osvaldo. That is a
:04:26. > :04:37.too horrific piece of goalkeeping. It is a splendid save. He took up a
:04:37. > :04:38.good position, Osvaldo, but the sprawling goalkeeper did really
:04:38. > :04:45.well, the veteran 38-year-old. His sprawling goalkeeper did really
:04:45. > :04:48.team has not kept a clean sheet here in the league since his first game
:04:48. > :04:53.in charge, which will be a concern for him. West Ham really need to
:04:53. > :04:56.improve on their away form in the Premier League, only one win in 15
:04:56. > :05:09.trips. Oh, Collins slips, giving Lambert
:05:09. > :05:14.half a chance. Osvaldo, Reid... Lambert with the shot. But just a
:05:14. > :05:18.line and is having a good day so far. -- but Jaaskelainen is having a
:05:18. > :05:32.good day so far. Rickie Lambert's far. -- but Jaaskelainen is having a
:05:32. > :05:38.200 th appearance for Southampton. Giant strides made by the man who
:05:38. > :05:51.once worked in a beetroot bottling plant. Jarvis is offside. The West
:05:51. > :05:52.Ham fans thought it was a goal, but the Southampton supporters had seen
:05:52. > :06:17.the flag. There was not much in it. Diame wins it again, shall I deliver
:06:17. > :06:22.went to ground. -- Schneiderlin went to ground, but no free kick has been
:06:22. > :06:28.given. Kevin Nolan is furious. It is a goal kick. The West Ham players
:06:28. > :06:32.are surrounding the referee. He cannot have had a clear view of it
:06:32. > :06:38.himself, Jaaskelainen, racing out 50 yards, but Kevin Nolan was a lot
:06:38. > :06:42.closer, and he is incandescent. Incomes Schneiderlin... The right
:06:42. > :06:51.foot certainly caught Diame. You can Incomes Schneiderlin... The right
:06:51. > :06:55.see why West Ham United are annoyed, but also, you can understand why
:06:55. > :07:03.Andre Marriner did not give anything.
:07:03. > :07:13.Southampton at times have virtually played a front this. Lambert up top,
:07:13. > :07:17.with Osvaldo, Lallana and Rodriguez behind, all of them swapping
:07:17. > :07:36.positions. That is a good piece of work by
:07:36. > :07:40.Diame. Met by Nolan, but out by Lovren. That is a decent effort from
:07:40. > :07:49.Morrison, that is West Ham's best moment. That is the sort of skill
:07:49. > :07:50.which once upon a time so excited Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester
:07:50. > :08:12.United. Wanyama with the effort, pushed over
:08:12. > :08:17.by Jaaskelainen. He stung the fingers of the goalkeeper there. He
:08:17. > :08:24.has been man of the match so far, I would say, Jaaskelainen. Fourth
:08:24. > :08:30.corner of the game for Southampton. Oh, it has hit the post, great
:08:30. > :08:35.effort from Lambert! Wanyama! Southampton think there was a
:08:35. > :08:46.handball. Reid comes to claim. He was fouled. Lambert got ahead of
:08:46. > :08:48.O'Brien and hit the woodwork. That would have been harsh, had it been
:08:48. > :09:07.given. It hit him. Good turn, in towards Lallana, but
:09:07. > :09:15.Jaaskelainen spread himself. Lovely play from Southampton, good
:09:15. > :09:17.football. The first touch was too heavy, he could not bring it under
:09:17. > :09:44.control. That is a lovely ball from Lambert.
:09:44. > :09:47.Rodriguez... Cleared over the bar by Reid. Terrific effort. Schneiderlin
:09:47. > :10:04.it was. Osvaldo needed the ball played
:10:04. > :10:12.inside the full-back, but it did not come. In towards Schneiderlin! That
:10:12. > :10:19.is terrific goalkeeping. He has had a tremendous game, Jaaskelainen. 38
:10:19. > :10:31.years old, but the reflexes are still there.
:10:31. > :10:38.West Ham are backpedalling furiously here. In comes the shot from
:10:38. > :10:46.Lambert, and Jaaskelainen is again the match for it. Clear man of the
:10:46. > :11:06.Clyne has moved from right back to left back. He did well. He forced
:11:06. > :11:27.the winger to make the decision. Vaz Te has forced a corner kick.
:11:27. > :11:28.West Ham United have seen Southampton dominate possession and
:11:28. > :11:33.create chances, but with eight Southampton dominate possession and
:11:33. > :11:54.minutes left, can West Ham snatch it?
:11:54. > :12:03.Greats defending by Fonte. It is not yet away. Collins! That is the best
:12:03. > :12:08.chance West Ham have had! That is what they have been looking for!
:12:08. > :12:12.What an opportunity. They have dug in deep at the back, they have
:12:12. > :12:17.prayed for a chance like this to come, and when it came, because of
:12:17. > :12:18.the good work by Mark Noble, James Collins made a mess of it. Horrible
:12:18. > :12:34.moment for him. When you created chances, there was
:12:34. > :12:55.to get it out of the way. When you created chances, there was
:12:55. > :13:00.a goalkeeper in front of you in When you created chances, there was
:13:00. > :13:03.superb form. TRANSLATION: Yes, we can't take
:13:03. > :13:09.anything away from my players, they did enough to score goals, but their
:13:09. > :13:14.goalkeeper outstanding today. Our quality players got into the final
:13:14. > :13:18.third, but some good balls and, some not so good, didn't quite hit the
:13:18. > :13:24.target enough to make the keeper work, even though we had chances to
:13:24. > :13:32.and even with our golden chance, we didn't hit the target. It felt
:13:32. > :13:36.Ginge, seven yards out. And he tells me he used to be a centre forward.
:13:36. > :13:38.It fell to the wrong man, if Kevin Nolan was on the end of it, it would
:13:38. > :13:42.It fell to the wrong man, if Kevin be a goal, but we got the clean
:13:42. > :13:47.sheet and that is what I am therefore. We are disappointed that
:13:47. > :14:00.Schneiderlin is still on the pitch, we didn't even get a free kick. It
:14:00. > :14:02.is a two footed challenge. And two footed challenge is, we are told by
:14:02. > :14:04.everybody in the referee's department from Mike Riley down,
:14:04. > :14:07.there is no choice other than a straight red. This wasn't even a
:14:07. > :14:09.free kick. I didn't even think it was a bad tackle and even now, I
:14:09. > :14:12.free kick. I didn't even think it think I tried to get the ball and I
:14:12. > :14:19.did get the ball. I had the feeling that I touched the ball, I think I
:14:19. > :14:24.did a good tackle. You have been getting some tweets
:14:24. > :14:26.this evening suggesting that a combination of a 0-0 draw and you
:14:26. > :14:29.this evening suggesting that a may not make this a very good show,
:14:29. > :14:32.but we are going to prove them wrong, aren't we? Fair play to
:14:32. > :14:35.but we are going to prove them Schneiderlin for coming on to talk
:14:35. > :14:40.about the challenge, but not fair play as far as the tackle is
:14:40. > :14:45.concerned? I think it is a horrible challenge, to be fair. I think it is
:14:45. > :14:46.a red card all day. I think Sam Allardyce is right and Schneiderlin
:14:46. > :14:54.a red card all day. I think Sam is wrong. This is in real-time.The
:14:54. > :15:00.referee is in a decent position, to be fair. He can see it. First and
:15:00. > :15:05.foremost, he has got to award a free kick, but the next angle we will
:15:05. > :15:10.see, it looks awful. A challenge like we will see next, that can
:15:10. > :15:16.break somebody's leg. That is a poor, poor challenge, and a certain
:15:16. > :15:19.red card. I think Diame is very fortunate that his leg is just off
:15:19. > :15:27.the floor. If it is planted, I think he would have a serious injury. And
:15:27. > :15:33.the referee, why... I don't know. This is a tackle, from Mark Noble.
:15:34. > :15:38.Just a perfect, challenge. So it can be done. And Rodriguez got straight
:15:38. > :15:42.back up from that challenge. Something that happened very near
:15:42. > :15:48.the end, maybe Southampton had a case for a penalty. I think they had
:15:48. > :15:53.a massive case. Really?A massive case. I think Kevin Nolan, cheeky
:15:53. > :15:57.chap that he is, he has got away with one here. The ball gets into
:15:57. > :16:05.the box, it is knocked back, and it is the way he moves his arm after he
:16:05. > :16:09.handballs it. It strikes him, put the arms behind the back, no one has
:16:09. > :16:12.seen it! It is only live on television! He has got away with it.
:16:12. > :16:16.It is handball. Who looks like the television! He has got away with it.
:16:16. > :16:22.Duke of Edinburgh, with his hands behind his back. It is not a great
:16:22. > :16:26.game, Southampton have only scored four in their last nine Premier
:16:26. > :16:31.League games, but did you see signs of hope for the rest of the season
:16:31. > :16:34.for them? I don't think they will have a problem, because when you
:16:34. > :16:37.analyse teams at the start of the season and you think where they will
:16:37. > :16:40.finish in the league, and you look at sites like Southampton, you ask
:16:40. > :16:45.whether goals are going to come from. There are four areas. The
:16:45. > :16:51.Lana, Lambert, Rodriguez and Osvaldo, --le Lana. They are all
:16:51. > :16:58.good players and they linked up really well. It is the final ball as
:16:58. > :17:02.much as anything. They linked up well. I think he's clever,
:17:02. > :17:06.Pocchetino, they break very quickly and the four players take up all
:17:06. > :17:11.sorts of different positions. That is a great save by Jaaskelainen but
:17:11. > :17:14.Osvaldo should have scored. Some of their interplay is excellent. Here,
:17:14. > :17:20.Osvaldo goes for Hollywood when he should have gone for forward and
:17:21. > :17:28.played its left. His manager will have a quiet word with him. This is
:17:28. > :17:31.Luke Shaw, the left back that everybody in the country wants,
:17:31. > :17:36.apart from Everton, because they have Leighton Baines. He's such a
:17:36. > :17:38.top player. In the end, he gets this wrong and it is not a particularly
:17:38. > :17:44.top player. In the end, he gets this good cross. But an attacking angle.
:17:44. > :17:48.And there are five Southampton players in the box. On the training
:17:48. > :17:53.ground, they must work really hard. Again, they break, Rodriguez picks
:17:53. > :17:57.up the ball in the middle and it is just the final pass which hasn't
:17:57. > :18:02.really worked for them, that has stopped them scoring and taking the
:18:02. > :18:08.lead. This is Osvaldo, great vision. Lallana just overran the ball a
:18:08. > :18:13.little bit. This is a Jaaskelainen save. Just look at them, five
:18:13. > :18:18.against four. Schneiderlin is up with them as well a lot of the time.
:18:18. > :18:21.If you are playing with good players going forward, you know eventually
:18:21. > :18:26.you will get the ball and you'll get a chances. This is a top save, his
:18:26. > :18:32.best save. Their manager will look at that and yes, it was 0-0, but he
:18:32. > :18:36.will think they have a chance. Does it increase the pressure on Wanyama,
:18:36. > :18:38.they are all bombing forward, so does it increase the responsibility?
:18:38. > :18:43.they are all bombing forward, so You just have to sit, that is the
:18:43. > :18:47.only problem, but that is what he is good at. If you look at those clips,
:18:47. > :18:51.most of the time, the first pass is his. The great thing for him,
:18:51. > :18:58.everyone is at different angles to pasta. It was a contrast to West
:18:58. > :19:02.Ham? Yes, the movement was poor. They are missing Stewart Downing,
:19:02. > :19:07.Andy Carroll, but they have only had six shots on target all season.
:19:07. > :19:12.Going forward, they were poor. Look at the space, look at the support.
:19:12. > :19:14.They are missing Andy Carroll. Here, Mark Noble gets the ball. He
:19:14. > :19:23.They are missing Andy Carroll. looks up, Kevin Nolan, Maiga, they
:19:23. > :19:28.are not shown for the ball, so Noble has no option but to turn back and
:19:28. > :19:34.played at White. They are missing key players, yes, but Maiga down the
:19:34. > :19:39.side, there is no support. He is a willing runner but they need players
:19:40. > :19:46.up with him. It is different if you are the away side, isn't it? You
:19:46. > :19:49.still have to try and score, surely? And here, you actually have two
:19:49. > :19:56.players willing to gamble and they are onside. It is a great ball
:19:56. > :20:01.through and a very good save. The referee has already blown, but in
:20:01. > :20:04.actual fact, that could have stood. This is West Ham under Sam
:20:04. > :20:07.Allardyce, the ball comes in, loads of bodies in there, and if they
:20:07. > :20:13.can't win the ball, they make it very difficult for the opposition.
:20:13. > :20:17.In the end, this was as good a chance as any. And he used to be a
:20:17. > :20:23.centre forward. Don't give up the day job. We begin our look at
:20:23. > :20:27.yesterday's games at the Stadium of light.
:20:27. > :20:38.All of the attention on Arsenal's record signing, but how are
:20:38. > :20:41.Sunderland faring under Di Canio? It has been a few years since I
:20:41. > :20:48.pulled the red and white of Sunderland on but I came back to
:20:48. > :20:49.Wearside today to see if Paulo Di Canio and his men can get their
:20:49. > :20:52.Wearside today to see if Paulo Di first win of the season against
:20:52. > :20:57.Arsenal. It will be difficult, but can he work his magic?
:20:57. > :21:03.George, a pleasure to see you again after so many years. Michael, a
:21:03. > :21:09.pleasure to see you, I have known you since you are a little one. Any
:21:09. > :21:12.of the new signings stuck out this season? I don't know, I can't
:21:12. > :21:19.pronounce their names, honest to God. This is the manager I wanted.
:21:19. > :21:23.When I heard they had got Paulo Di Canio, I thought, oh, right, wasn't
:21:24. > :21:27.he at Swindon? He kicks backsides, that is the fellow from me. I want
:21:27. > :21:32.to see some discipline in these players and he will do it. We've got
:21:32. > :21:34.to have faith in him. I don't bet, but I think he will be all right for
:21:34. > :21:42.us. Paulo Di Canio, he had his but I think he will be all right for
:21:42. > :21:48.critics before he signed for Sunderland as manager. Has he turned
:21:48. > :21:52.a few heads? Obviously, he kept us up and had those two great results
:21:52. > :21:56.against Everton and Newcastle, especially. It was always going to
:21:56. > :22:00.take a while for new players to settle in, if you bring in 14 new
:22:00. > :22:08.players. We are not going to see the true quality for a couple of
:22:08. > :22:13.months. Think the fans appreciate his no-nonsense style? He needs to
:22:13. > :22:21.get the results on the pitch, that is what he it is about. He is a
:22:21. > :22:26.complex man, he will give some interesting quotes after the match.
:22:26. > :22:29.Gary, it has been a long time since me and you sat in a dugout like
:22:29. > :22:36.this. I have never sat on the bench before. Maybe you haven't! When you
:22:36. > :22:43.look at Paulo Di Canio, do you think we get? I think you get what Paulo
:22:43. > :22:46.Di Canio is all about, he doesn't hold back, he's enthusiastic. His
:22:46. > :22:50.first full season in the Premier League and it is about learning. He
:22:50. > :22:55.will learn after each game how to actually deal with players on a
:22:55. > :23:00.daily basis. I remember I used to ask you the questions!
:23:00. > :23:06.So the arrival of Mesut Ozil today, his debut at the Stadium of light. I
:23:06. > :23:09.think he will be a very special player in the Premier League, and I
:23:09. > :23:11.wonder Sunderland will be able to handle him, if he moves around and
:23:11. > :23:20.fits in. Mesut Ozil, took it down really
:23:20. > :23:24.nicely. I'm fed Olivier Giroud! Arsenal lead --and fed. Another
:23:24. > :23:29.Giroud goal and the King of the Arsenal lead --and fed. Another
:23:29. > :23:38.assist, Ozil. Is he on to plan B already?
:23:38. > :23:41.Canvassing opinion. And it is off the crossbar!
:23:41. > :23:46.Theo Walcott in on goal, a good stop from Westwood. Altidore.
:23:46. > :24:01.Neatly done. He has tried one. It is Johnson. It is Koscielny who
:24:01. > :24:04.dives in. And it is a penalty, Sunderland do have a way back into
:24:04. > :24:08.the Game two minutes into the second half.
:24:08. > :24:13.Craig Gardner only just on as a substitute but he makes no mistake
:24:13. > :24:20.from the spot. It is Sunderland one, Arsenal one.
:24:20. > :24:37.Great goal. What a strike from Ramsey. That is a sweet, sweet
:24:37. > :24:45.Altidore was being held back by Sunderland one, Arsenal two.
:24:45. > :24:53.Altidore was being held back by daiquiri Sagna, he has slotted it
:24:53. > :24:54.in, but the whistle has gone. Sunderland will feel so strongly
:24:54. > :25:04.that they should be level again. Is it Ozil. Giroud. Lovely ball. And
:25:04. > :25:08.another lovely goal from Aaron Ramsey. 3-1.
:25:08. > :25:16.He has been asked to take a seat. He has been ordered from the bench.
:25:16. > :25:21.The problem was that he told me, if you keep going, I will send you off.
:25:21. > :25:27.I will send you up to the stands. And then my mistake was that I
:25:27. > :25:31.invited him and said, if you want to complete a perfect job today, sent
:25:31. > :25:37.me off. He said, go off. That was the worst.
:25:37. > :25:42.Well, what can I say, I have come out of the stadium a little bit
:25:42. > :25:44.gutted, but we saw the signs in the second half but Sunderland are
:25:44. > :25:49.coming back to the form that we all want to see. We lost but some big
:25:49. > :25:54.decisions went against us today. I still have my scarf and I will be
:25:54. > :25:58.back again soon. Shall we talk about the big
:25:58. > :26:05.decision, then? That has provoked a lot of debate over the last 24
:26:05. > :26:09.hours. The referee should use the following circumstances on whether
:26:09. > :26:13.to apply advantage. The severity of the offence, the closer to the
:26:13. > :26:18.opponent's goal of a more effective it can be. Bizarrely, the atmosphere
:26:18. > :26:20.of the match. And he is allowed to take a few seconds before deciding
:26:20. > :26:26.whether to bring playback. So baring all that in mind, go through it.
:26:26. > :26:30.He's far too hasty on his whistle, to be fair. It is a 50-50
:26:30. > :26:35.challenge, Altidore and Sagna, they are wrestling. He blows his whistle
:26:35. > :26:38.as soon as the impact is made. Then he has the lead play go on, it is a
:26:38. > :26:44.goal-scoring opportunity and therefore, if he has blown, he has
:26:44. > :26:47.to send Sagna off, because it is a clear goal-scoring opportunity.
:26:47. > :26:54.Because Altidore scores! Simple as that. Referee, shocking decision
:26:54. > :27:01.from marking Atkinson. By playing advantage, Sunderland had no
:27:01. > :27:04.advantage. And then, of course, 11 against ten, a completely different
:27:04. > :27:10.result. It is a really strange decision. This is the first game of
:27:10. > :27:15.the season, this is how it should be done. Anthony Taylor, Arsenal
:27:15. > :27:20.against Aston Villa. Agbonlahor goes through the defence, that could be a
:27:20. > :27:23.penalty, he waits, Weimann hits the side netting and what does he do,
:27:24. > :27:29.blows for the penalty. That is how it should be done. And then he gets
:27:29. > :27:35.castigated by the Arsenal supporters and players by playing such a long
:27:35. > :27:36.advantage! Yes, but I think it was absolutely right. In that statement,
:27:36. > :27:42.what did you say about the crowd? absolutely right. In that statement,
:27:42. > :27:44.The atmosphere? It says," In deciding whether to play the
:27:44. > :27:49.advantage, the referee should consider the following and one of
:27:49. > :27:57.the points is the atmosphere of the match". The atmosphere! Said what
:27:57. > :28:00.that is the one we have to go by. Do Arsenal have a chance of winning the
:28:00. > :28:08.title? Speaking I think they have a better chance of winning it but will
:28:08. > :28:11.they? No. Why?Giroud is the only out and out striker they have and if
:28:11. > :28:17.they get injured, they are in a mess. There was a sign of Ozil's
:28:17. > :28:21.first touch, it was great, but I agree, Giroud is so important. Ride,
:28:21. > :28:35.more of yesterday's games now, featuring some of the suppose it
:28:35. > :28:38.title contenders. -- supposed. Romelu Lukaku had to sit it out
:28:38. > :28:43.against his parent club at Goodison Park. Gareth Barry and Samuel Eto'o
:28:43. > :28:54.enjoyed mixed success on their debuts. Samuel Eto'o! That is a
:28:54. > :28:56.enjoyed mixed success on their really good opportunity for Samuel
:28:56. > :29:00.Eto'o. He should have scored his first goal in the Premier League
:29:00. > :29:07.within five minutes of the start of his debut. It has been a very even
:29:07. > :29:13.game so far. Given away by Howard! That was an unbelievable block from
:29:13. > :29:20.Gareth Barry. If that does not endear him to the Everton fans,
:29:20. > :29:28.nothing will. Ross Barkley did well, Osman, Jelavic! Everton have
:29:28. > :29:36.scored, through Naismith! Steven Naismith puts Everton in front on
:29:36. > :29:44.his birthday! 90 seconds to go, Leighton Baines clips the bar. New
:29:44. > :29:49.faces galore at White Hart Lane, but as Gary Hooper remained on the bench
:29:49. > :29:50.for the visitors, Christian Eriksen produced a midfield masterclass for
:29:50. > :30:05.Spurs. Christian Eriksen showing a lovely
:30:05. > :30:18.piece of skill! Soldado has hit the post!
:30:18. > :30:24.Spurs are in front through Gylfi Sigurdsson. It was a well-made goal,
:30:24. > :30:32.and the new boy had a part to play in it. Christian Eriksen slides it
:30:32. > :30:40.out to Paulinho, and Sigurdsson is coming in! Gylfi Sigurdsson has done
:30:40. > :30:45.it again! It reflects Tottenham's superiority in this game. At Old
:30:45. > :30:48.Trafford, we have big hair starting on the bench, a big personality
:30:48. > :30:57.stuck in the stands, a big man watching on, and big talking points
:30:57. > :31:09.on the pitch. Van Persie, Patrice Evra... Manchester United looking
:31:09. > :31:20.for a penalty kick, but the referee did not give it. Ashley Young goes
:31:20. > :31:24.down. And Manchester United do not have a penalty, and Ashley Young is
:31:24. > :31:33.going to be booked for diving. I think the referee is quite right.
:31:33. > :31:40.Van Persie making tracks ahead, van Persie!
:31:40. > :31:47.Palace have played themselves into trouble here. Ashley Young goes
:31:47. > :31:51.down, and the referee has given Manchester United a penalty this
:31:51. > :31:55.time. When you look at it again, you can see that the initial contact
:31:55. > :31:59.happened outside the penalty area, so, whatever the decision, I do not
:31:59. > :32:05.think it was a penalty. And it is a red card for Dikgacoi, and Crystal
:32:05. > :32:12.Palace really face an uphill struggle now. Robin van Persie puts
:32:12. > :32:22.it away. No doubt about it. Van Persie tense not to miss
:32:22. > :32:33.opportunities like this. Wayne Rooney! 2-0. Manchester United look
:32:33. > :32:38.home and hosed. Just beyond the reach of Speroni, and Wayne Rooney
:32:38. > :32:47.feels the love of the Old Trafford crowd. Well, following that last
:32:47. > :32:51.game, I do have lots of paper with quotes on again, but nobody spoke
:32:51. > :32:56.about Marouane Fellaini's debut, nobody spoke about the cameo from
:32:56. > :33:05.the youngster, it was all about Ashley. Yes, and I think Crystal
:33:05. > :33:09.Palace have been very, very hard done-by. I have so much sympathy.
:33:09. > :33:14.This was two years ago, Ashley Young, Mark Halsey was in a great
:33:14. > :33:20.position, but he gave the penalty. In my opinion, Ashley Young has
:33:20. > :33:27.dived. How can your legs go that far in the area? He has won the penalty
:33:27. > :33:29.for his team. I think his manager at the time said that, he said he had a
:33:29. > :33:34.for his team. I think his manager at word with him about it. And
:33:34. > :33:43.yesterday, this is just crazy. I mean, you are really trying to buy a
:33:43. > :33:48.penalty. And the penalty that was given, for me, Jon Moss had a
:33:48. > :33:53.shocker. I think it is two yards outside the box, he has asked the
:33:53. > :33:56.linesman for advice, I do not know outside the box, he has asked the
:33:57. > :34:04.what he has asked him. Inside, he says. But when I show the next
:34:04. > :34:11.angle, he can see clearly, that is two yards outside the box, and I
:34:11. > :34:18.think the linesman has bottled it. But if he cannot help him, it means
:34:18. > :34:22.he cannot see it. He can see it!The other thing about the referee is, he
:34:22. > :34:27.is in the wrong position, he should be further up the pitch, but the
:34:27. > :34:31.other thing is, he has to be 100% certain that it is a penalty. On
:34:31. > :34:34.this angle, Dikgacoi is running in a certain that it is a penalty. On
:34:34. > :34:39.straight line, Ashley Young has cut a crossing, he actually kicks
:34:39. > :34:44.Dikgacoi. Maybe it is a clumsy challenge, but I have got to say, if
:34:44. > :34:51.the referee awards a penalty, which he has done, he has to send him
:34:51. > :34:56.off. Ninth June 2012, interview in the Guardian, I have got these
:34:56. > :35:02.quotes, and I am going to use them - Ashley Young said, I am not a cheat,
:35:02. > :35:08.I go out to play football fairly, I do not dive. David Moyes said
:35:08. > :35:11.yesterday, I hate diving. The problem Ashley Young will have now
:35:11. > :35:18.is, how many penalties do we think he will get from now until the end
:35:18. > :35:22.of the season? The Crystal Palace chairman e-mailed the BBC this
:35:22. > :35:25.evening to say, he thinks that if you try to create a goal-scoring
:35:25. > :35:33.opportunity by cheating, you should get a straight red card. It is
:35:33. > :35:37.possible. But what I will say, that was Jon Moss's third decision that
:35:37. > :35:41.game. Evra, he did not give a penalty, Young, the second one, so
:35:41. > :35:49.the third, there was massive pressure on him, and I think he has
:35:49. > :35:55.crumbled under the pressure. He has crumbled under the stick you have
:35:55. > :36:00.given him now! But yesterday's performance, I think he was poor.
:36:00. > :36:08.Manchester United go to mention the city next weekend. Yesterday,
:36:08. > :36:15.Manchester City were at Stoke. -- go to Manchester City. Jon Walters
:36:15. > :36:20.Manchester City were at Stoke. -- go should have scored here. I think the
:36:20. > :36:25.big thing for Mark with Stoke is, try to change, firstly, the
:36:25. > :36:31.mentality, and the way that they play, which is not easy, with
:36:31. > :36:36.virtually the same squad of players. And he has made a really good start
:36:36. > :36:41.to the season, Marcuse. I heard him on your programme last night, and in
:36:41. > :36:46.fairness, he said, Tony Pulis has done most of the work here. He is
:36:46. > :36:49.absolutely right. But it is amazing what you can do with players. All
:36:49. > :36:57.right, they have been indoctrinated in a certain way, but what you can
:36:57. > :37:00.do in training, and Stoke have made a really good start to the season.
:37:00. > :37:08.They were better than City yesterday. He was effusive in his
:37:08. > :37:13.praise of Tony Pulis yesterday. Yes, I thought it was a fantastic
:37:13. > :37:17.interview by yourself, Mark. But he was, he gave Tony Pulis great
:37:17. > :37:25.credit. And he is improving Stoke, I think. But City, in my opinion,
:37:25. > :37:27.other than the first game against Newcastle, they have been woeful.
:37:27. > :37:31.other than the first game against They were all over the place.
:37:31. > :37:39.Tomorrow night, the only 100% record in the league is put to the test, as
:37:39. > :37:48.Liverpool visit Swansea. And next Sunday, we have this for you. If
:37:48. > :37:53.Match of the Day 2 leaves you wanting extra, then we have the show
:37:53. > :38:01.for you. We will have the news, comment and analysis from our expert
:38:01. > :38:09.panel. We will delve deeper into the stories which everyone is talking
:38:09. > :38:16.about. That is Match of the Day 2 Extra, Sundays at 12.15. Three more
:38:16. > :38:19.Saturday's games to show you now, starting with Newcastle's trip to
:38:19. > :38:35.Aston Villa. Loic Remy takes over. It looks like
:38:35. > :38:42.he has got the beating of Matthew Lowton, and he has. And it is a goal
:38:42. > :38:48.for Ben Arfa! Newcastle, rewarded for their bright, inventive start.
:38:48. > :38:52.for Ben Arfa! Newcastle, rewarded And Villa have an equaliser, from
:38:53. > :39:00.the familiar source of Christian Benteke. Newcastle went to sleep,
:39:00. > :39:07.and Villa are level. Benteke has his fifth of the campaign. Ben Arfa, who
:39:07. > :39:17.remains a real threat, on to the left foot... And Newcastle are in
:39:17. > :39:18.front again! Yoan Gouffran capitalises following the great work
:39:18. > :39:36.from Hatem Ben Arfa. Nice burst of pace from Jake
:39:36. > :39:45.Livermore. Aluko... Put wide by Danny Graham, what a chance that
:39:45. > :39:53.was. Huddlestone, teasing cross, and turned in by Curtis Davies. Hull
:39:53. > :40:04.city are in front! The summer arrival from Birmingham city gets
:40:04. > :40:12.his first goal in Hull City colours. Whittingham, 1-1! It was a lovely
:40:12. > :40:20.cross, and all Whittingham had to do was to apply the finishing touch.
:40:20. > :40:37.In towards Senderos, Sidwell! Boaz Myhill beaten, although he got a
:40:37. > :40:45.hand to it. The defender took a chance, and he might be punished.
:40:45. > :40:52.Berbatov is offside. Fractionally offside.
:40:52. > :41:01.Kacaniklic, onside, and it has come through to Bryan Ruiz! He thought
:41:01. > :41:10.that had crossed the line. The offside flag is up again. As it was
:41:10. > :41:15.struck by Bryan Ruiz, Steve Sidwell was in the offside position, and he
:41:15. > :41:25.then touched the ball, which is why the goal was ruled out. Gareth
:41:25. > :41:28.McAuley! Finally, a Premier League goal this season for West Brom, and
:41:28. > :41:30.it might just have rescued a point goal this season for West Brom, and
:41:30. > :41:33.at Craven Cottage. goal this season for West Brom, and
:41:33. > :41:36.it might just have rescued a Going back to that first game of those
:41:36. > :41:40.three, for all of the doom and gloom which has been broadcast about
:41:40. > :41:47.Newcastle, I have had a decent start. They have, and I think in
:41:47. > :41:50.their starting team yesterday, there were six Frenchmen. Supposedly, that
:41:50. > :41:55.was too many, when they were struggling. But Alan Pardew has
:41:55. > :42:01.always said, when he gets everybody fit, then you can judge his team,
:42:01. > :42:02.and yesterday, they were very good. Time now for these two to pick the
:42:03. > :42:20.August Goal of the Month. Liverpool finally have
:42:20. > :42:21.breakthrough! Daniel Sturridge put it through the legs of the big
:42:21. > :42:48.German defender. impressive stuff from the youngster.
:42:48. > :42:55.Right into the corner. Venomous and perfectly placed.
:42:55. > :42:58.Robin van Persie running at Williams. Van Persie goes alone and
:42:59. > :43:06.scores brilliantly. Unerring, unhesitating, right into
:43:06. > :43:22.the top corner. Wayne Rooney with trying to turn,
:43:22. > :43:30.looking Danny Welbeck. A little chip and that is beautiful goal. What a
:43:30. > :43:31.lovely goal by Danny Welbeck. Sublimely finished, that is
:43:31. > :43:44.sensational. It is a long way out but Lampard
:43:44. > :43:52.hits it hard towards goal. Oh, my, word. -- my word. That is one of the
:43:52. > :43:54.best from the extensive Frank Lampard collection. It flew, it
:43:54. > :44:12.swerved, that is just beautiful. Sergio Aguero, running at Taylor,
:44:12. > :44:17.scoring Manchester City's second goal. A great finish, straight in
:44:17. > :44:19.scoring Manchester City's second the corner, in the post, Tim Krul no
:44:19. > :44:35.chance. Daniel Sturridge. Lovely skill, what
:44:35. > :44:47.a superb goal from Daniel Sturridge. Twinkle toed, too good for Villa.
:44:48. > :44:58.Dzeko strikes one. What a hit from Edin Dzeko. Manchester City were
:44:58. > :45:00.crying out for a piece of quality and Dzeko has provided it. Terrific
:45:00. > :45:09.strike. Looking for Ben Arfa. The blue she
:45:09. > :45:24.wants it short. Ben Arfa wants to go on his own, and
:45:24. > :45:26.what about that? Hatem Ben Arfa! The power of the shot meant the
:45:26. > :45:47.goalkeeper hardly moved. What a hit to seal it from O'Keefe.
:45:47. > :45:48.The curling effort, with his very first senior goal. What about that
:45:48. > :45:56.for precision. Mark has deferred to Robbie on this,
:45:56. > :46:00.Robbie has picked it. Mark has deferred to Robbie on this,
:46:00. > :46:02.Robbie has picked He nearly went with Sergio Aguero so he could hear
:46:02. > :46:07.his commentary again. What have you with Sergio Aguero so he could hear
:46:07. > :46:13.gone for? Robin van Persie against Swansea. It would have been Frank
:46:13. > :46:21.Lampard, but the goalkeeper made a hash of it. What about Ross
:46:21. > :46:25.Barkley, Danny Welbeck... ? All good goals, but you had Rooney is run
:46:25. > :46:33.curling around the corner, and then van Persie, left, right and then top
:46:33. > :46:38.corner. Robbie's choice. Let's have a look at the Premier League table
:46:38. > :46:43.this evening. West Ham's draw with Southampton sees them edge into top
:46:43. > :46:48.half of the table. A point or better for Liverpool and they will reclaim
:46:48. > :46:59.top spot tomorrow. At the bottom, Sunderland, West Brom and Swansea
:46:59. > :47:03.are in the bottom three. On tonight's two Good two Bad. I have a
:47:03. > :47:10.matching shirt, matching hat... I have to die my whiskers before I go
:47:10. > :47:12.to the game. Roberto Martinez said Gareth Barry displayed a
:47:12. > :47:20.masterclass. Tackle of the weekend from him. They organised half-time
:47:20. > :47:20.entertainment in tribute to Roberto Martinez, it supposed to be Spanish,
:47:20. > :47:28.but the dancers were Brazilian. Martinez, it supposed to be Spanish,
:47:28. > :47:34.Fellaini's weeks were all the rage at Old Trafford yesterday, but this
:47:34. > :47:41.headgear provoked more attention. No Rafael, but there was a Teenage
:47:41. > :47:45.Mutant Ninja Turtles. Always good to see someone helping an old man run
:47:45. > :47:51.the Great North Run. So thank you to Mark Alcee. And sometimes in life
:47:51. > :48:02.come you get what you ask for. Paolo D Kenny are asking to be sent off.
:48:02. > :48:06.-- Di Canio. I can smile now, but I said to him, if you want to complete
:48:06. > :48:10.a perfect job, you can send me. He took it seriously and he sent me. So
:48:10. > :48:16.next time, I am never going to invite the referee to send me. So
:48:16. > :48:20.today, only one game and no goals. Four games for us next Sunday,
:48:20. > :48:22.though. Surely we will get plenty of action from them. Keep your fingers
:48:22. > :48:24.crossed. Night.
