:00:58. > :01:00.First stop, the King Power, where West Ham were the latest team
:01:01. > :01:04.to go toe-to-toe with Leicester City - a team who, all season, have been
:01:05. > :01:14.Over to our new World Champion, Anthony Joshua.
:01:15. > :01:24.12 months ago, they were on the ropes. Battered. Bruce. -- bruised.
:01:25. > :01:32.Leicester City come from an unorthodox stance. Mahrez hooks, and
:01:33. > :01:38.Fardy jabs. Now, three knockouts from victory. All under the watchful
:01:39. > :01:51.eye of an experienced trainer. My advice, never take your eyes off. Be
:01:52. > :01:56.aware of the sucker sponge. Welcome the southpaw specialists to the
:01:57. > :02:05.ring. -- sucker punch. That is fantastic from Payet. This title is
:02:06. > :02:11.the rise of the underdog. Touching distance for Claudio Ranieri and
:02:12. > :02:16.Leicester City. When you have 121 games in a season, how hard can it
:02:17. > :02:20.be to win three more? In the coming weeks were going to find out. One
:02:21. > :02:26.thing is sure, West Ham are not here to form a guard of honour for any
:02:27. > :02:31.champions elect. In a frenzied atmosphere it is perhaps ironic that
:02:32. > :02:34.the most surprising title favourites ever have long since stopped
:02:35. > :02:37.surprising anybody. It is the same Leicester team for the sixth game
:02:38. > :02:42.running and they will play the same way. But try stopping them. Try
:02:43. > :02:46.scoring against them. Eight hours and ten minutes since Leicester last
:02:47. > :02:52.conceded. There are a few surprises in the West Ham team. No Lanzini, no
:02:53. > :03:04.Andy Carroll, both on the bench. Five changes in all. And there he
:03:05. > :03:14.proudly stands, the wiliest, Foxy -ist Box of them all. -- Fox. West
:03:15. > :03:18.Ham get the game under way. West Ham hoping to be in Europe next year.
:03:19. > :03:22.Leicester City will be in the Champions League next year. Will
:03:23. > :03:36.they be there as champions of England?
:03:37. > :03:43.Emenike for West Ham. Victor Moses was tripped by Drinkwater. West Ham
:03:44. > :03:49.with an early free kick. Dimitri Payet to take this free kick. West
:03:50. > :03:57.Ham's start of what has been a stellar season on this free kick.
:03:58. > :04:00.Payet curls it in and it goes a long way and it hits the inside of the
:04:01. > :04:10.post and the other post. Kouyate cannot believe it. 70 seconds
:04:11. > :04:14.played, and West Ham hit both posts. Unbelievably, Schmeichel's record is
:04:15. > :04:18.intact. He got a touch on the first one. He got a touch of luck on the
:04:19. > :04:20.second rebound. That is a brilliant save from Kasper Schmeichel.
:04:21. > :04:33.Incredible. Kante caught in possession. Emenike
:04:34. > :04:43.ahead, and hurdling challenges. Payet. Played 150 seconds and it has
:04:44. > :04:44.all been West Ham. They have come here to get something, no question
:04:45. > :05:00.about that. Christian Fuchs. Good pace from Antonio. Leicester
:05:01. > :05:07.throw. He is a good player, Antonio, but right back is not his natural
:05:08. > :05:17.position. Hurled in and a collision involving Vardy and Ogbonna. A few
:05:18. > :05:24.cries from the crowd. Ogbonna is really climbing. Drinkwater for
:05:25. > :05:31.Leicester. More collisions. Ogbonna again. Amat is a free kick. -- and
:05:32. > :05:35.that is a free kick. Ogbonna, who had Vardy in a headlock as it came
:05:36. > :05:42.into the penalty area, this time he clatters Ocker Zaki. Albright and
:05:43. > :05:48.with the free kick, downward header. -- Marc Albrighton. A whisker away.
:05:49. > :05:54.Great chance for Robert was. -- Robert close. He would be
:05:55. > :05:57.disappointed not to score for that. That would have been a huge settle
:05:58. > :06:06.for Leicester who had a nervous start to the game. It is a free
:06:07. > :06:09.kick. A foul on Victor Moses. Christian Fuchs looks aghast. I
:06:10. > :06:18.don't know why. Payet again. Off the back of
:06:19. > :06:27.Antonio's head. No problem as Michael. A quick release -- no
:06:28. > :06:40.problem for Schmeichel. Mahrez, good ball. Jamie Vardy for Leicester.
:06:41. > :06:50.1-0! It is that man again. Jamie Vardy's 22nd of the season. Coming
:06:51. > :06:53.from a West Ham free kick. A lightning counter. Credit to
:06:54. > :07:02.Schmeichel. He looked to get that away early. Mahrez with a lovely
:07:03. > :07:03.ball to Kante, perfect pass, and Vardy, first touch kills it, second
:07:04. > :07:15.touch buries it. Brilliant counterattacking goal.
:07:16. > :07:19.They have been tested today, no question about that, in the first 18
:07:20. > :07:25.or 19 minutes of the game, but they have come up with the perfect
:07:26. > :07:30.response. Leicester lead. But was thereof foul right at the start of
:07:31. > :07:41.this from Robert Huth. Have a look at this. Kouyate. Cresswell. Kouyate
:07:42. > :07:44.was felled by Vardy after the ball had gone and there is going to be a
:07:45. > :07:53.card here for the Leicester goal-scorer. First yellow card of
:07:54. > :07:58.the game. Vardy's six of the season. West Ham are already lost twice to
:07:59. > :08:01.Leicester this season, 2-1 on both occasions. Once in the Premier
:08:02. > :08:11.League at Upton Park and once in the League Cup, here. No bull. Cut out
:08:12. > :08:18.by Drinkwater. -- Mark Noble. Vardy in the middle. Oh, not quite there.
:08:19. > :08:29.Noble thought he had been fouled, but Jon Moss said go on. Not quite
:08:30. > :08:33.able to pick a Vardy at the back post, who would have had a tap in.
:08:34. > :08:44.Roy Hodgson almost looks nervous himself, the Inglis -- England boss.
:08:45. > :08:47.Totten can have no complaints about how West have approached this. They
:08:48. > :08:52.are not doing it for Spurs, but they are asking as many questions of
:08:53. > :08:57.Leicester City has anybody has in recent weeks. Here is Vardy. Away
:08:58. > :09:02.from Ogbonna, who was offside, and I think he has given it the other way,
:09:03. > :09:08.and the card is coming out here for Jamie Vardy, who is going to be sent
:09:09. > :09:17.off. Jamie Vardy is sent off, second yellow card, and Jamie Vardy is sent
:09:18. > :09:25.off. Well, Ogbonna had played him onside and I don't think it's a
:09:26. > :09:30.penalty. Vardy just seems to me to move his right leg into Ogbonna to
:09:31. > :09:34.initiate the collision and Jonathan Moss says that is a second yellow,
:09:35. > :09:38.and that means Leicester City are down to ten men and the man they
:09:39. > :09:56.would least like to lose has gone. Antonio. A deflection on that, and
:09:57. > :10:00.Huth away. It is a West Ham corner. Leicester City must now try to
:10:01. > :10:10.concede as few set pieces as possible. They have a corner to
:10:11. > :10:13.defend here. It is Moses. Payet. That is dangerous and that was a
:10:14. > :10:22.whisker wide. It is a brilliant attempt by Winston
:10:23. > :10:27.Reid and he meant it all right. I wasn't sure at first and it hit the
:10:28. > :10:35.outside of the post. Here they come again. Lanzini. Dimitri Payet.
:10:36. > :10:41.Lanzini. Antonio at the back post. Well cut out by Morgan.
:10:42. > :10:51.In again. Morgan with a touch. It's a corner. It is nonstop nerves for
:10:52. > :10:52.Leicester City. Fifth corner of the game for West Ham. Leicester haven't
:10:53. > :11:06.had any. They are trying to block off Huth.
:11:07. > :11:13.It is all going on in there. Payet curls it in. He has given a penalty!
:11:14. > :11:18.Jonathan Moss has given West Ham a penalty here. Wes Morgan can't
:11:19. > :11:23.believe it. Jonathan Moss has made another big call here. It's all
:11:24. > :11:29.going on in there, but look at that, Morgan on Winston Reid. That is what
:11:30. > :11:33.he has given it four. It is a penalty to West Ham United, which
:11:34. > :11:41.Andy Carroll is going to take. Seven minutes to go. 1-1.
:11:42. > :11:50.Andy Carroll with a goal which is celebrated by West Ham and Tottenham
:11:51. > :11:56.fans alike. The first Leicester have conceded since the first day of
:11:57. > :12:04.March. Those were two big decisions from Jonathan Moss. Neither have
:12:05. > :12:06.gone Leicester's way. Payet. Half blocked by Fuchs. They don't want to
:12:07. > :12:18.concede a corner. More up than out from Fuchs. Ulloa
:12:19. > :12:24.holding him up. Antonio skipping around the challenge.
:12:25. > :12:31.It's dangerous. It is Cresswell, and it is 2-1 to West Ham. A brilliant
:12:32. > :12:41.goal from Cresswell. And that might change everything. The lead has
:12:42. > :12:48.gone. Antonio did brilliantly. He skipped away from Fuchs. Great
:12:49. > :12:55.strike from Cresswell. And Kasper Schmeichel could do nothing.
:12:56. > :13:07.Huge celebrations from West Ham. Huge implications for Leicester.
:13:08. > :13:16.Suddenly life has got a whole lot harder. Look at that.
:13:17. > :13:24.Morgan with the hammer. Winston Reid for West Ham.
:13:25. > :13:33.It is a Leicester throw. Fuchs is going to take it. Hurled in towards
:13:34. > :13:37.Huth. And he was being held, was he? Leicester asked the question of the
:13:38. > :13:43.referee and the referee says no. Well, Huth has been involved in
:13:44. > :13:52.plenty today. Ogbonna had his arm around Huth, mind you, Huth has been
:13:53. > :13:58.up to some of that himself today. Well, now all of his experiences
:13:59. > :14:05.going to be required. Over the next days and weeks that come. One back
:14:06. > :14:11.by Drinkwater. Fuchs to Drinkwater. Kante. This is promising. Jeff
:14:12. > :14:16.Schlupp for Leicester. He has given a penalty. Jonathan Moss has given
:14:17. > :14:19.Leicester City a penalty. The King Power Stadium shakes to its
:14:20. > :14:24.foundations. Leicester have a penalty. Now into the fifth minute
:14:25. > :14:30.of added time at the end of the game. Leicester have had ten
:14:31. > :14:39.penalties this season, and Mahrez has taken six, Jamie Vardy has taken
:14:40. > :14:50.four, and Ulloa has taken none. 2-2 excavation not -- 2-2!.
:14:51. > :14:56.Magnificently done by Ulloa. It feels like
:14:57. > :15:04.what an incredible climax to this game. 1-0 up. Then Vardy off. And
:15:05. > :15:09.two minutes and ten seconds that changed the game. The penalty and
:15:10. > :15:16.Cresswell's strike but right at the end it is a draw, Leicester 2, West
:15:17. > :15:21.Ham 2. We have one point more now. It was so hard but this team is
:15:22. > :15:25.unbelievable. Always fighting, playing together. Helping each
:15:26. > :15:30.other. It is unbelievable. For that I enjoy playing with this team. Do
:15:31. > :15:35.you feel that Jamie Vardy was unlucky to be sent off? Well, never
:15:36. > :15:42.I speak about the decision of the referee. The referee watch two
:15:43. > :15:48.yellow cards, OK. That's T There was every set piece, an awful lot going
:15:49. > :15:51.on inside penalty areas. So, difficult to know if it is a penal
:15:52. > :15:55.Tyne the other action is not a penalty. Yes, very difficult, I
:15:56. > :16:00.agree with you. All gym, even the first half when I was watching, they
:16:01. > :16:07.had their hands all over him at the top. Dragging him down, pulling him
:16:08. > :16:11.about. Corners. I'm surprised he didn't give it earlier, our pen, and
:16:12. > :16:15.obviously at the end I field he tried to equal the game up, you know
:16:16. > :16:20.and give them a pen, you know. And for me and for the lads t clearly
:16:21. > :16:28.wasn't. It was extremely hard for the referee. I mean it is no
:16:29. > :16:35.penalty. It is hard for him. For 90 minutes, every contact in the box,
:16:36. > :16:39.shouts of "handball", "cheat" or "penalty", it is very hard to be a
:16:40. > :16:45.ref, very, very hard. Do you feel that he was influenced by the
:16:46. > :16:53.atmosphere, the occasion, the crowd? ? ? And now people say he shouldn't
:16:54. > :16:59.be. It is OK. It is easy to say but this is real life and it is hard, it
:17:00. > :16:59.was hard for him. Let's deal with that point first of
:17:00. > :17:03.was hard for him. Let's deal with that point first of all. Do you
:17:04. > :17:09.think he was influenced by the atmosphere around the plains around
:17:10. > :17:14.Leicester's title push? I think the inconsistencies are were mind
:17:15. > :17:17.boggling from the referee and as a consequence the atmosphere ramped up
:17:18. > :17:23.and he couldn't handle the pressure. You don't think he could deal with
:17:24. > :17:27.it. No, I think it was too much. Let's start step by step, Jamie
:17:28. > :17:32.Vardy's sending off for two yellow cards. Snuk not say he was over
:17:33. > :17:35.hyped. That's how he placed. This one for me, he could have got booked
:17:36. > :17:37.hyped. That's how he placed. This one for me, he could have got booked
:17:38. > :17:42.for that. #12k3w4r He didn't. I thought the referee has left him off
:17:43. > :17:45.with that. But this one, he hasn't touched him. When we see it in the
:17:46. > :17:49.other angle, he doesn't touch him. Then he falls over him there. That's
:17:50. > :17:55.what he has been booked for. This is the penalty. Now for me, Jamie Vardy
:17:56. > :18:00.has dived there. He has taken a dive. When we see it at the other
:18:01. > :18:05.angle, I know he is upset and so he should be, but for me, you look at t
:18:06. > :18:11.he is looking at him to hold him off it get to the ball but he has got
:18:12. > :18:14.his legs tangled. For me it is a dive. Do you think, Alan, he has
:18:15. > :18:19.tried to make contact with Ogbonna and then - I mean do you think he
:18:20. > :18:23.has dived? I do. As much as we want to criticise the referee, I think
:18:24. > :18:27.jail joy Vardy has to take a bit of criticism. -- I think Jamie. There
:18:28. > :18:31.was no need for him to die. He was the wrong side of the defender. He
:18:32. > :18:36.was expecting contact. It didn't come. - there was no need for him to
:18:37. > :18:40.dive. There was a pirouette in there as he was going over. It changed the
:18:41. > :18:45.dynamic of the game. The crowd was up. West Ham started to play more
:18:46. > :18:51.football. If he stays on the pitch, Leicester will win. He will get a
:18:52. > :18:54.one-match ban for that however if the referee includes in his report
:18:55. > :18:59.the pointing and his discussion with him after he received the red card
:19:00. > :19:02.and if that is concluded it could be a further ban, similar to Diego
:19:03. > :19:07.Costa in the Cup for Chelsea. That could be worse news for Leicester.
:19:08. > :19:13.On to the penalty that West Ham got. I will sit back. Ian will sit back,
:19:14. > :19:18.away you go. Well, I'm staggered that the referee chose the 34th game
:19:19. > :19:24.of the season for Leicester to make this point. This goes on, it has
:19:25. > :19:29.gone on not only today, but all season and will continue to go on
:19:30. > :19:33.until all referees make the point. If - I mean he actually gave the
:19:34. > :19:39.softest penalty which we are going to is he - there were far worse
:19:40. > :19:44.incidents. He warns them after half time, Robert Huth and Morgan comes
:19:45. > :19:49.in. You can see him speaking to them. There is no need to give a
:19:50. > :19:53.warning. If it is a penal particulars give a penalty. --
:19:54. > :19:58.penalty, give a penalty. You don't get a warning outside of the box. He
:19:59. > :20:02.warned them. There is pushing and shoving. Reid gets another shove. He
:20:03. > :20:07.looks at the referee. The referee has his eye on T straight away and I
:20:08. > :20:13.think Reid goes over easier than he should have anyway. He gives them a
:20:14. > :20:17.little - well, he pulls him back a bit but Reid goes further. So he
:20:18. > :20:22.dives also I think and the referee is straight on it. As I say, it was
:20:23. > :20:27.going on all day. His arms are on him. Well, all right there is going
:20:28. > :20:30.to be contact in the penalty box, Chappers, it doesn't matter whether
:20:31. > :20:35.your arm is on him. I don't think it was enough for a penal ti. There are
:20:36. > :20:42.far worse in the game. Reid goes forward there. . Carroll sticks the
:20:43. > :20:47.penalty away superbly well. There was earlier in the game, Ogbonna. If
:20:48. > :20:54.he has given a pebblety how come that isn't? Honestly, it is mind
:20:55. > :21:00.boggling. -- he - if he has given a penalty there. Nothing on this. This
:21:01. > :21:04.is the last two or three minutes on Ogbonna on Huth, when he has already
:21:05. > :21:08.given a penalty. He should be looking out for things like this.
:21:09. > :21:13.How come that's not a penalty. It is bizarre. Absolutely bizarre. Andy
:21:14. > :21:19.Carroll says in his post-match interview that they felt once they
:21:20. > :21:24.got the penalty and the red card went to Jamie Vardy, the ref would
:21:25. > :21:28.look to equal things up. When you look at this penalty and see how
:21:29. > :21:36.soft it is and Andy Carroll knowing the ref might be doing that, when
:21:37. > :21:39.you know where he goes in now Schlupp, Andy Carroll coming towards
:21:40. > :21:43.him, he has given the referee the opportunity to give a penalty. He
:21:44. > :21:48.has not done anything. Schlupp is looking to just get into the box.
:21:49. > :21:54.Andy Carroll has lit realliy made contact. -- literally. People can
:21:55. > :21:59.say it is a bit... It is never, ever a penalty. He is looking to even it
:22:00. > :22:03.up. I think he realises he made a mistake when he gave Huth the
:22:04. > :22:08.penalty and he is looking to even it up. If you were Andy Carroll, and
:22:09. > :22:12.you were thinking the referee is going to even it up, would you have
:22:13. > :22:17.gone? I wouldn't want to be anywhere near it. I will go down to the
:22:18. > :22:20.defender that is there anyway. He is going away from goal. Shephard him
:22:21. > :22:28.down. He has come in and given him the opportunity to give a pen. One
:22:29. > :22:31.final thing on the ref, players are pulling and shoving at corners. They
:22:32. > :22:38.are diving we are trying to say. They are trying to influence the
:22:39. > :22:43.referee when he has given a penalty to one team - it is going on across
:22:44. > :22:46.the whole of the Premier League - you wouldn't be a referee, would
:22:47. > :22:49.you? I wouldn't. It is very difficult. Impossible. They will get
:22:50. > :22:53.some things right and some wrong, surely. I will go back to my point.
:22:54. > :22:59.Why, in the 4th game of Leicester's season has he chosen to make that
:23:00. > :23:04.point today. -- 34th game. Why don't they make it at the start, go into
:23:05. > :23:07.all the dressing rooms and say - we are going to clamp this out
:23:08. > :23:11.completely. So don't complain. Not in the 34th game. So the referee has
:23:12. > :23:16.given that penalty today. The referee should be giving three or
:23:17. > :23:21.four penalties every game if he is going to give penalty for that
:23:22. > :23:27.today. Shall we move on to a pos I have T he scares you. It was --
:23:28. > :23:31.positive. He scarce you. We are not going to show Cresswell's goal but
:23:32. > :23:35.we will show you Kasper Schmeichel's save in the first half. It was
:23:36. > :23:40.sensational. We were sat watching this. It was a top-class save with
:23:41. > :23:44.his finger nails. We looked at each other and said - you might as well
:23:45. > :23:50.give the trophy to Leicester now. On moments like that you just think -
:23:51. > :23:58.it is meant to be. The fingertips. It is like he hit it by accident. He
:23:59. > :24:01.is off. He thinks he has scored. It rolls straight back to Kasper
:24:02. > :24:07.Schmeichel. You know, if they do go on to do t you have to say that save
:24:08. > :24:13.played a massive part in T -- if they do go on to do it.
:24:14. > :24:16.Next to the Emirates and there is only one man in this
:24:17. > :24:16.studio qualified to talk up this game.
:24:17. > :24:36.Arsenal, Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace, Arsenal. These are my names.
:24:37. > :24:40.I played with Pards. One win will be killing him. I have played with the
:24:41. > :24:45.other manager. It will be killing him. A win for Palace they will be
:24:46. > :24:49.mathematically safe. It has been a long time since they beat the
:24:50. > :24:54.Gunners. I remember it. I played. A win for Arsenal and they could still
:24:55. > :25:00.finish above Spurs. You just never know.
:25:01. > :25:04.COMMENTATOR: Petr Cech returns in goal after a calf injury but that's
:25:05. > :25:09.the only change for the sides that dropped points at West ha. Danny
:25:10. > :25:15.Welbeck preferred to Olivier Giroud upfront. 38 points should be enough
:25:16. > :25:23.to secure safety for Palace but rare success here wouldn't go amiss. They
:25:24. > :25:29.are without the player. Connor Wickham starts. He scored two times
:25:30. > :25:38.in his last four starts. They have an awful record againstna.
:25:39. > :25:43.Ozil. Monreal with a chance to cross.
:25:44. > :25:48.That could have been a lot worse as the talented teenager prepared to
:25:49. > :26:01.guide this goal wards. Hennessey wasn't required in the
:26:02. > :26:05.end. The referee takes a tumble. He bounces back to his feet. Most
:26:06. > :26:10.impressively there. Now was there a coming together at that last Arsenal
:26:11. > :26:20.corner? Koscielny man handled there by Delaney. Went unnoticed by the
:26:21. > :26:32.officials. Koscielny for Ozil. Now San shes, back for Ozil. Ozil and
:26:33. > :26:37.Sanchez have threatened occasionally to do this. Ozil on the stretch. It
:26:38. > :26:39.was on target at least but comfortable for Hennessey to get his
:26:40. > :27:09.sizeable frame in the way. He whips it in. Wickham gets his
:27:10. > :27:14.head to it. He has been praying for that kind of delivery throughout the
:27:15. > :27:19.first half, Connor Wickham. Two minutes of added time at the end of
:27:20. > :27:30.the first half. Mesut Ozil for Arsenal. In the way of going down.
:27:31. > :27:35.Welbeck chips. The header and Arsenal lead. 22 seconds into added
:27:36. > :27:41.time at the end of the first half. It is another goal for Sanchez. His
:27:42. > :27:47.third in the last three outings. Palace dilly dallying with it on the
:27:48. > :27:56.edge of their own penalty area. Welbeck's delivery. Sanchez at last
:27:57. > :28:00.gets in behind Souare to maximum effect and Palace, who was defended
:28:01. > :28:07.so, so well for so, so long, have a brain breeze right at the end of the
:28:08. > :28:11.first half. So, a second goal for Arsenal might be enough to put the
:28:12. > :28:21.game to bed swiftly. Souare with the chance to cross. Cabaye almost
:28:22. > :28:25.cleared that. Welbeck will have to chase that, which of course he will.
:28:26. > :28:33.And with his feet he will keep it in. He will be in support.
:28:34. > :28:46.Beautiful play. Welbeck goes for goal. Good link-up. An awful lot to
:28:47. > :28:47.aim for there with so many Palace players backmarking two Arsenal
:28:48. > :29:01.colleagues. Clipped by Ledley. Yellow card being
:29:02. > :29:11.brought out here for the Welshman. The first booking of the afternoon.
:29:12. > :29:17.Ozil goes for it. Hennessey flying across his line was concerned. How
:29:18. > :29:23.close was this? Not far away at all. Well listen to this. Emmanuel
:29:24. > :29:27.Adebayor, certainly used to be public normy number one in these
:29:28. > :29:33.parts. I think he still has the title but he is on to try to find an
:29:34. > :29:35.equaliser for Crystal Palace and try to force his way into the starting
:29:36. > :29:54.line-up at Wembley in a week's time. Elmeny, and a foul. Ozil is over the
:29:55. > :30:01.set piece. Here is Adebayor, who clears, but not very far. Hooked
:30:02. > :30:07.effort saved Hennessey. Now Elmeny. Appeals for handball from one or two
:30:08. > :30:11.in Arsenal red. Quickly waved away by the referee. Adebayor thought he
:30:12. > :30:15.had cleared but it dropped to Welbeck and Hennessey was on top of
:30:16. > :30:22.him in a flash, and then Elmeny's shot lacked pace. The appeals for
:30:23. > :30:27.handball fell on deaf ears. Monreal. Running away from Ledley.
:30:28. > :30:33.The whistle does go. That was after what seemed to be an awful long
:30:34. > :30:39.time. Quick free kick from Ozil, and Sanchez with a flying header just
:30:40. > :30:42.wide of the far post. Who is this heading machine? Has he been
:30:43. > :30:53.watching Andy Carroll's hat-trick from last week? Looking to late for
:30:54. > :30:58.Monreal. -- lay it off. Thunderous cross. Way off target. Adebayor for
:30:59. > :31:04.Palace. This is what the Arsenal fans fear. Him having a role in a
:31:05. > :31:12.Crystal Palace comeback. Held up by Gabriel, but he has the ball.
:31:13. > :31:17.Bolasie. Can he get the shot away? He can. Yannick Bolasie beads Petr
:31:18. > :31:22.Cech at the near post, and Crystal Palace have levelled. It was always
:31:23. > :31:28.a possibility as long as it stayed 1-0 to the Arsenal. Adebayor put in
:31:29. > :31:32.the hardship to take the ball upfield but this is a too horrific
:31:33. > :31:34.finish by Bolasie. Could not have placed it any better. Eight horrific
:31:35. > :31:43.finish. Such was the pace in the shot he
:31:44. > :31:48.could not keep it out, and Bolasie, straight across to his manager, the
:31:49. > :31:51.man that believes in him so much. Our Crystal Palace going home with a
:31:52. > :31:57.rare point from the Emirates? Petr Cech would be happy with his attempt
:31:58. > :32:00.at keeping it out. He's been a virtual spectator throughout the
:32:01. > :32:06.afternoon, and when he was needed, he was found wanting. Stopped by
:32:07. > :32:10.Zaha, who will look to run beyond Monreal, and he might succeed.
:32:11. > :32:16.Adebayor is up with him. He might not need him. He might not need him
:32:17. > :32:21.at all. Now he might need him. A good pass, and Adebayor was in. Zaha
:32:22. > :32:27.did not get his head up the chance has gone. What a story that might
:32:28. > :32:31.have been. What a chance for Zaha. Came through two challenges and then
:32:32. > :32:35.got the lucky ricochet. One pass, and Adebayor was in.
:32:36. > :32:42.Could the goalkeepers have done better with that today? It has not
:32:43. > :32:47.been unstoppable but maybe he was surprised by the shot and we could
:32:48. > :32:54.have stopped a shot at the corner as well. I don't know. It is difficult
:32:55. > :32:58.to blame any individuals. We win together and we are disappointed
:32:59. > :33:01.together. You could argue he might have saved it but it was a fair hit
:33:02. > :33:09.when he might have expected it to go the other side. It was a timely goal
:33:10. > :33:14.and an important point for us, because that means two of those
:33:15. > :33:17.teams below us have to get to 40 with our goal difference, so that
:33:18. > :33:21.will be difficult to them, I think, so we can breathe a little bit
:33:22. > :33:25.easier and we can look forward to a semifinal. We need to have some
:33:26. > :33:28.momentum going into the game in over the last couple of weeks we've
:33:29. > :33:33.picked up good results and some points to some breathing space.
:33:34. > :33:35.Hopefully we can put it a good performance against Manchester
:33:36. > :33:39.United on Wednesday going into the game on Sunday. Does this kill off
:33:40. > :33:47.any distant chance of winning the league? I don't know.
:33:48. > :33:50.Mathematically, I can't know the calculation of the moment. We are
:33:51. > :33:56.too disappointed to think about the championship. We have to fight to be
:33:57. > :34:00.in the Champions League and we have two comeback in the next game and
:34:01. > :34:04.focus on that. We will come onto the bigger picture of the game shortly,
:34:05. > :34:07.but Crystal Palace could have gone in a header half-time and instead
:34:08. > :34:16.went in behind. They could. Connor Wickham had a fantastic chance. We
:34:17. > :34:19.saw him against Arsenal, Andy Carroll, and it's the same thing
:34:20. > :34:24.here. Gabriel gets themselves in all sorts of problems. He is too weak.
:34:25. > :34:28.Connor Wickham should do better when he's in this position. He has to get
:34:29. > :34:33.it on target. But he has to clear that, Scott Dann. That is Alexis
:34:34. > :34:36.Sanchez who scores a goal and when you consider how close he is when
:34:37. > :34:40.they score, all he needs to do is get his defensive head on and get in
:34:41. > :34:44.there and stop him. He doesn't do it, and that's all you need, half a
:34:45. > :34:48.yard. You can see how close they are when they finally score. If he was
:34:49. > :34:54.more alive, he might stop that, but that is the way it was going for
:34:55. > :34:58.them. It felt, watching it, as though everything was flat. The
:34:59. > :35:02.atmosphere was flat. Arsenal were flat. Even Crystal Palace were flat
:35:03. > :35:09.at times. It needed the introduction of a pantomime villain to get it
:35:10. > :35:12.going. And we got one, hey presto. It did feel like an end of season
:35:13. > :35:17.game. When Adebayor came on, the crowd livened up. But he was
:35:18. > :35:23.integral in the gold. It was fantastic. Picks it up in his own
:35:24. > :35:28.half. Gabriel, I'm thinking, slide it out. There, there, there. Doesn't
:35:29. > :35:33.do it and Adebayor holds it up and Bolasie comes in. He wants to come
:35:34. > :35:38.in on the right foot and you have to say, as much as Alan Pardew hit it
:35:39. > :35:41.well, that is Petr Cech in gold and he might have expected it to go
:35:42. > :35:47.across the goal, I would expect to save that. With the way its cover
:35:48. > :35:52.Arsenal, the fans themselves, a lot of empty seats I saw today. Very
:35:53. > :35:58.disappointed Arsenal fans and it was that kind of game that summed it up.
:35:59. > :36:02.Unlike that referee, Jon Moss, they are consistent. Third or fourth
:36:03. > :36:06.every year. Every season I get berated by Arsenal fans saying they
:36:07. > :36:11.won't win the league and every year it's right. Not just a Christmas you
:36:12. > :36:15.get berated by them. Are you surprised at Arsene Wenger's post
:36:16. > :36:17.match interview? He wasn't sure if mathematically they could win the
:36:18. > :36:23.title but it was about the Champions League. He doesn't want to say he
:36:24. > :36:29.does not want to win it. They won't win the league until they sign a
:36:30. > :36:32.world-class striker. Just a world-class striker? I've said all
:36:33. > :36:35.season that I thought that they were two top players short and my view
:36:36. > :36:42.hasn't changed. I've said it all season. Did the win over Norwich
:36:43. > :36:45.last week and the draw at Arsenal today, as Scott Dann says, does that
:36:46. > :36:50.give them momentum going into the semifinal? Yes, and I was speaking
:36:51. > :36:55.to the chairman the other day and he wanted to go into that game knowing
:36:56. > :36:59.that the Premier League survival was there and I think it is there now
:37:00. > :37:04.when you consider where Norwich are. I think now they will they can
:37:05. > :37:06.concentrate on that. Mid to low table and a cup final appearance
:37:07. > :37:11.would be a successful season. Absolutely.
:37:12. > :37:13.After Liverpool's amazing Europa League win in midweek,
:37:14. > :37:14.could Bournemouth do to Jurgen Klopp's side
:37:15. > :37:20.Conor McNamara was there to find out.
:37:21. > :37:25.Such has been the outrageous storylines thrown up elsewhere that
:37:26. > :37:29.Bournemouth's achievements have been largely overlooked. Eddie Howe's
:37:30. > :37:34.team are chasing a top half finish in what is the club's first ever
:37:35. > :37:38.season in the top flight of English football. Liverpool could be three
:37:39. > :37:43.games away from a Champions League place via the Europa League so it's
:37:44. > :37:50.no surprise to see Jurgen Klopp ringing the changes. The head of
:37:51. > :37:54.kick-off, both captains placed a wreath in front of the Liverpool
:37:55. > :37:59.supporters in memory of the 96 football fans who, on a sunny day,
:38:00. > :38:02.just like this one, went to follow their team at a game of football but
:38:03. > :38:14.tragically never return home again. Both sides looking for a strong
:38:15. > :38:17.close to the season. Eddie Howe says he's not been happy with recent
:38:18. > :38:21.performances against Tottenham and Manchester City. He says Bournemouth
:38:22. > :38:26.need to do better against teams in the top third of the league. The
:38:27. > :38:32.kick was blocked, and Sturridge straight at the goalkeeper. What an
:38:33. > :38:37.early chance for Liverpool. Elphick and sermon and Sturridge did not
:38:38. > :38:42.stand on ceremony. He went through first time. And it was against Eddie
:38:43. > :38:50.Howe in October that Jurgen Klopp got his first ever win manager. --
:38:51. > :39:00.first ever win as Liverpool manager. Toure. I'd. A bit of room for O Joe.
:39:01. > :39:10.Around Daniels and cradle. Might come again for OjoI. Saved by Artur
:39:11. > :39:16.Boruc. A whole host of chances created by the nimble, quick feet of
:39:17. > :39:21.Ojo, and Conor Randall, on his Premier League debut, the first shot
:39:22. > :39:25.was the dangerous one, and it was straight at Steve Cook. After the
:39:26. > :39:31.drama on Thursday night something of the day after the Lord Mayor 's show
:39:32. > :39:44.so far in this game. Firmino. Through the legs of cradle. This is
:39:45. > :39:50.Ojo. Ibe. Good pass from Ibe. The backheel is saved, but only into the
:39:51. > :39:55.path of Firmino and Liverpool, five minutes before half-time, break the
:39:56. > :40:01.deadlock at Bournemouth. There was a slickness to this Liverpool
:40:02. > :40:07.build-up. Very straightforward, thrusted into the penalty area by
:40:08. > :40:12.Ibe. Almost a deceptive pass, and speaking of deceptive, the backheel
:40:13. > :40:21.from Sturridge. That meant that by rich -- Borwick put it into the path
:40:22. > :40:22.of Firmino to school and he remains Liverpool's top Premier League
:40:23. > :40:37.scorer this season -- to score. Lucas, under pressure from King.
:40:38. > :40:43.Bournemouth appeal for a handball. Lucas does seem to swing his right
:40:44. > :40:45.arm around towards the ball. He will say he could not get his hand out of
:40:46. > :40:56.the way. Ibe caught from behind, free kick to
:40:57. > :41:02.Liverpool. The game is just begin to stretch a little bit now. So, Jordan
:41:03. > :41:04.Ibe stands over the free kick. Sturridge with the header. Perfectly
:41:05. > :41:14.placed. He is getting a run in the first
:41:15. > :41:22.team once again and Liverpool supporters are seeing the benefits
:41:23. > :41:25.in terms of the goals. Took that very gracefully, Daniel Sturridge,
:41:26. > :41:28.his ninth in all competitions this season. And he is having a very
:41:29. > :41:42.strong finish to the campaign. Gosling is in trouble. Joe Allen
:41:43. > :41:49.looking for a Daniel Sturridge for his second and he has hit the post.
:41:50. > :41:52.Liverpool looking to extend their lead early in the second period.
:41:53. > :42:03.Daniel Sturridge did everything right up until the finish. Surman.
:42:04. > :42:06.Ritchie. They are appealing for a handball, but the referee says it is
:42:07. > :42:18.ball to hand. This is Daniels. Was that raised intentionally to
:42:19. > :42:25.block the ball or is it just the movement of his body? Pew who has
:42:26. > :42:36.had an impact since coming on. Good ball for Josh King. Around Lucas.
:42:37. > :42:40.Saved by Ward. Lucas initially done for pace. A smart turn from Josh
:42:41. > :42:45.King. The goalkeeper was alert on his Premier League debut. His team
:42:46. > :42:49.have insulation on the scoreboard but Jurgen Klopp will be aware that
:42:50. > :42:56.Bournemouth have been the better team in the last five or ten
:42:57. > :43:07.minutes. Sako. King has done well again. Through Lucas, and denied by
:43:08. > :43:11.Ward. Went around the defender easily, just trying to project over
:43:12. > :43:16.the advancing goalkeeper. Danny Ward did well to spread his body and get
:43:17. > :43:25.his fingertips to it. Ojo. He has Sturridge in the middle. Bariti is
:43:26. > :43:29.arriving as well. -- Bariti. Lallana. Sturridge. A chance. Hits
:43:30. > :43:38.the post. Second time in the second half that
:43:39. > :43:42.Daniel Sturridge has hit the woodwork. Lovely movement. He is
:43:43. > :43:47.getting his sharpness back, you can tell.
:43:48. > :43:59.Wilson. Fouled by Lucas. Claims to get the ball but the referee gave
:44:00. > :44:06.the free kick to Bournemouth. That will be a handball from Smith. He is
:44:07. > :44:07.crouching down to chest it and the referee is happy it was
:44:08. > :44:16.unintentional. King. Challenged by Smith. Did well
:44:17. > :44:27.to keep his feet, Josh King and he's won a corner.
:44:28. > :44:41.Daniels will take the corner. Goalkeeper came but didn't gather.
:44:42. > :44:45.Cleared off the line by Sakho. Danny Ward in his Premier League debut
:44:46. > :44:49.would have hated to concede there in those circumstances. A chance for
:44:50. > :44:56.King and he scores. Bournemouth get one back in stoppage time. And
:44:57. > :45:02.tussles with the goalkeeper to retrieve the ball. Bournemouth
:45:03. > :45:06.supporters desperately look to the stadium clock and try to work out if
:45:07. > :45:16.there is any time. King probably deserves this for his play over the
:45:17. > :45:22.full 90 minutes. For once, got in around the back of Lucas, but Danny
:45:23. > :45:23.Ward could do nothing about that. It has made stoppage time interesting
:45:24. > :45:27.now. A free kick for Bournemouth. It's
:45:28. > :45:48.not over yet. Cook - just too high! And Liverpool,
:45:49. > :45:49.having looked so comfortable for so long, certainly Jurgen Klopp's team
:45:50. > :45:57.are hanging on. We felt second half we could have if
:45:58. > :46:01.we could have got the third goal earlier it would have made an
:46:02. > :46:04.interesting end to the game. We were missing that spark in and around
:46:05. > :46:07.their box, especially first half when we found it difficult to get
:46:08. > :46:12.close to their goal. The second half we did better, especially the last
:46:13. > :46:17.half hour and Cook has had a chance at the end to snatch. We could have
:46:18. > :46:22.defended better the first half and played better football. But we were
:46:23. > :46:28.so good. Looked in so many moments, good tuned. Using Daniels and the
:46:29. > :46:34.young boys on the wings. All four really running for their lives. It
:46:35. > :46:38.was really nice to see, using the experience, unbelievable. So it was
:46:39. > :46:42.really, really good. A few penalty appeals towards the end.
:46:43. > :46:46.Particularly with the fullback Smith when he bends down. Have you any
:46:47. > :46:50.complaints? The early one in the first half. I wouldn't have said it
:46:51. > :46:54.was a penal ti. I can see why the Baume didn't give them. But ball hit
:46:55. > :46:58.arm two or three times in their box but not to get one of them was
:46:59. > :47:13.difficult. Klopp praised several of his players in the post-match
:47:14. > :47:18.interview. You were impressed with a few, started with Joe Allen. He was
:47:19. > :47:21.in the right place at the right time. This was a great ball from
:47:22. > :47:25.Daniel Sturridge. He was unlucky here. A bit behind him. He gets a
:47:26. > :47:31.ricochet but it goes out for a corner here. He senses the danger.
:47:32. > :47:35.Not only does it nick it off him but great ball in for Daniel Sturridge.
:47:36. > :47:39.He has to score for me, with his quality. Looking for the danger,
:47:40. > :47:42.looking to where the danger is behind him, in the right place,
:47:43. > :47:47.knocks continue behind. Again, gets himself in the position where he
:47:48. > :47:52.blocks that off. It is one of those where someone like him - and he
:47:53. > :47:58.carries on going - he plays a lovely ball back in to Sturridge. You are
:47:59. > :48:02.hoping he can get a chance. Like I say, again, look, nutmeg, have some
:48:03. > :48:05.of that, here we g he gets Daniel Sturridge away. When you say get a
:48:06. > :48:09.chance. Do you mean start consistently. Yes, you feel with
:48:10. > :48:15.herned son and Khan, if they are going to be fit t might be hard. I'm
:48:16. > :48:20.sure he will get bigger tests than Bournemouth but if he can get a run
:48:21. > :48:25.he could do something. I don't think Brendan Rodgers did him any favours
:48:26. > :48:29.when he described him as the Welsh Zavvi, he put unnecessary pressure
:48:30. > :48:34.on him. It is a massive five or six weeks for him now. It looks as if he
:48:35. > :48:38.is going to start game because of the injuries to Henderson and Khan.
:48:39. > :48:43.It is a big chance for him to prove a point to the manager. If he
:48:44. > :48:49.doesn't I'm sure he will spend big in the summer on a midfielder. He
:48:50. > :48:54.praised again Ojo, I remember on the FA Cup game when Liverpool played

:49:09. > :49:12.Daniel Sturridge, he makes a run behind. If he goes in front maybe he
:49:13. > :49:20.scores a goal. This is the actual goal for them. Gets past them. Very

:49:42. > :49:47.what I have in my locker. I'm excited by him. I want to see what

:50:06. > :50:08.would want that. For Bournemouth they have spent money over the
:50:09. > :50:12.course of this Premier League campaign and they have had a lot of
:50:13. > :50:15.injuries. For next season, do they need to spend big again? I think
:50:16. > :50:19.they'll spend again because of the money that will come in next season
:50:20. > :50:22.with the big money coming N whatever way you look at t they will have a

:51:19. > :51:33.Forini scores, he strikes for Sunderland -- Borini. Really
:51:34. > :51:38.unlucky. Smashed against the foot of the post, redman. He is in trouble.
:51:39. > :51:45.It has been taken away from him. Defoe is in the middle. Perfect,
:51:46. > :51:58.2-0. Absolutely perfect from Borini to Defoe. Norwich 0, Sunderland 2.

:53:49. > :53:53.new castle. They have only lost one of their
:53:54. > :53:57.last six at home, new castle. I suppose the problem is Manchester
:53:58. > :54:01.City, and Spurs still have to go to St James' Park. Well particularly
:54:02. > :54:08.after Sunderland's result in the morning, they were under extra
:54:09. > :54:12.pressure. Approximate 3-0 probably flackered them, but as I say who
:54:13. > :54:15.cares, the three points was a must. They did it yesterday. They take
:54:16. > :54:19.confidence from that nooted Manchester City game. It will still
:54:20. > :54:22.be tough. You said you had the feeling because of the pressure
:54:23. > :54:27.Swansea had for that period, if they had got one of those it could have
:54:28. > :54:36.gone wrong. In a short space of time they had three really good chances,
:54:37. > :54:41.Swansea. Maybe that was Newcastle getting a bit of luck. And
:54:42. > :54:45.Sunderland, if Jermain Defoe scores for them, they will have the best
:54:46. > :54:50.chance? Yes, and he will score goals as he has proved for the majority of
:54:51. > :55:01.his career. Sunderland would worry me if I was a Newcastle fan. Well, I
:55:02. > :55:05.am a fan! I just saw your head moving towards me. The other
:55:06. > :55:10.argument, Sunderland, a lot of games they have been in t but they haven't
:55:11. > :55:12.been able to score when they have defended well or defended poorly
:55:13. > :55:17.when they have scored. But when you see the amount of goals that Jermain
:55:18. > :55:21.Defoe has scored away from home and what they have conceded at the

:57:11. > :57:17.never know what you are going to get. You never know what team is
:57:18. > :57:21.going to play. I think 2-0 today against Aston Villa. I would hate
:57:22. > :57:23.for us to be the ones who relegate them. It might happen. I don't think
:57:24. > :57:47.they are going to turn up. Good play. He didn't quite get the
:57:48. > :57:52.ball there. Gone for a throw in. The most I have seen for Cissokho. He
:57:53. > :57:58.has been waiting patiently. In towards Rashford. You wonder whether
:57:59. > :58:03.that will open the flood gates now, against the bottom side. He should
:58:04. > :58:12.go for it now, get two more and we can enjoy the match rather than
:58:13. > :58:14.worrying. Memphis lets it run. Going through T Rashford. I can't belief

:59:22. > :59:26.my mass of the day 2. Very good line. Let's focus on Villa. The

:59:47. > :59:50.is reflected by everyone at the club, including some of the players
:59:51. > :59:54.They would be right in thinking that looking at the performances. It was

:00:10. > :00:18.endure. The Villa fans have been brilliant.
:00:19. > :00:22.An embarrassing season for them. We saw the father getting uncomfortable
:00:23. > :00:29.at 1-0. Was that a poor result for Manchester United? Great result but

:01:01. > :01:10.Chelsea look for Diego Costa. Rolls it back. Cleared away by phone and
:01:11. > :01:12.Dean Ho in the end. Otamendi was there to get it away on the line --
:01:13. > :01:22.Ferdinand Dean Ho. Good reading of the game by
:01:23. > :01:33.Otamendi. Fabregas with it. Now Yaya Toure Toure. Brilliant speed in
:01:34. > :01:38.which they counter. De Bruyne carrying it, and plays the ball to
:01:39. > :01:41.Sergio Aguero who had to check back. He gets the shot away Andy Budd 's
:01:42. > :01:51.Manchester City aired, from a Chelsea corner -- and he gets the
:01:52. > :01:57.shot away. That is a lovely piece of skill by De Bruyne. Perfect weight
:01:58. > :02:02.on the past. Nasri. In towards Aguero, and it is too. Once again
:02:03. > :02:10.Manchester City have countered with a venom, with precision. And with a
:02:11. > :02:16.deadly effect. Aguero has the ability, pace and guile to trouble
:02:17. > :02:20.the Real Madrid defenders, and this is a brilliant, brilliant run. He is
:02:21. > :02:26.brought down, and he has to go. It is a penalty kick. And a red card.
:02:27. > :02:34.And that is counterattack, simply slicing through Chelsea. The former
:02:35. > :02:40.Atletico Madrid player. Are you watching Real Madrid? Sergio Aguero

:03:01. > :03:06.And Watford are ahead. A preplanned set piece that worked to absolute

:03:17. > :03:23.Bromwich Albion have the chance to draw level. Gomes is booked as he

:03:50. > :03:54.penalty to West Bromwich Albion. Advantage Gomes, psychologically. A
:03:55. > :04:00.huge moment in this match. Berahino. Goes the other way, and Gomes saves
:04:01. > :04:02.it again. To save one penalty is to reflect, to save two of them is

:05:03. > :05:06.chances. -- side Omani -- Mane. You are more comfortable talking about
:05:07. > :05:11.strikers and religion, so let's look at Aguero, because you want uses as
:05:12. > :05:18.an example of making a run. There is a lot of quality. Navas causes
:05:19. > :05:23.problems. Look at him, there he is offside. You see people make the run
:05:24. > :05:27.and they go offside. Ivanovic is the one he should be making the run off.
:05:28. > :05:32.He gets onside, and he is level, and the fact that Nasri keeps the ball.
:05:33. > :05:38.Ivanovic is worried about Navas. There is the problem with him and
:05:39. > :05:42.that fantastic run. You use the defender 's number to make the run.
:05:43. > :05:48.If you can see the defender's number, you have kind of got him,
:05:49. > :05:51.and he is thinking about Navas, but it is Aguero, the cleverness, being
:05:52. > :05:57.in line with the defender in front. He is genuinely world-class. How is
:05:58. > :06:04.he not in the Player of the Year? Who will you take out? So you have a
:06:05. > :06:04.short Leicester's draw means Tottenham can
:06:05. > :06:09.reduce their lead to five points Arsenal missed the chance to
:06:10. > :06:13.leapfrog Manchester City into third. West Ham and Liverpool remain
:06:14. > :06:15.in sixth and eighth respectively. At the bottom, Palace's draw
:06:16. > :06:18.at the Emirates leaves them within touching distance
:06:19. > :06:19.of Premier League safety. Always good to take your knitting to
:06:20. > :06:39.the game for those dull moments. The steward is not impressed with
:06:40. > :06:43.the entertainment at Newcastle. Look at his face. The crowd enjoyed this
:06:44. > :06:50.free kick from guilty Sigurdsson. This Villa fan just needed to check
:06:51. > :06:57.that his sign was the right way upon the right. That's right, I will
:06:58. > :07:06.continue processing. Here is Alan Pardew watching himself celebrate.
:07:07. > :07:13.That is a good body double. His own version of hands-free here. And as
:07:14. > :07:14.we have not had big Sam for a while, this celebration yesterday very
:07:15. > :07:20.nearly turned into Elvis. Before we go, we love a bit
:07:21. > :07:24.of nostalgia and 10 years ago today, Alan scored his 409th
:07:25. > :07:36.and last career goal But it was actually 422nd. I cannot
:07:37. > :07:42.believe Younis might U21 goals -- you missed. What about the under 12
:07:43. > :07:49.is as well? I was out three years with injury you know. Don't show. Do
:07:50. > :07:54.you know how many you got in your career? No. A lot.
:07:55. > :07:56.As Aston Villa become the 38th different team to be relegated
:07:57. > :07:59.in the Premier League, 13 have yet to return to the top flight.
:08:00. > :08:02.This isn't the most feelgood of endings but Villa fans will be
:08:03. > :08:23.hoping they don't follow in the footsteps of this lot.
:08:24. > :08:34.It's like watching Brazil is what the locals say about Barnsley
:08:35. > :08:42.Football Club. As they finished Wimbledon's Premier League life?
:08:43. > :08:49.That is fantastic. A mistake by Walsh, oh, no. Oh, no. Leeds United
:08:50. > :08:56.will go down. Portsmouth's season is complete. And he has put it in his
:08:57. > :09:03.own net. Blackball disaster. And Wigan are relegated. Fulham will not
:09:04. > :09:04.be in the Premier League next campaign. Cardiff's first
