Welcome to West Ham where today is all about new beginnings. After

:01:01.:01:03.

last season's desperately It is all over for West Ham now.

:01:03.:01:07.

What a turnaround. To bounce straight back they have

:01:07.:01:11.

got a new man in the shape of beat Sam, and a new inspirational

:01:11.:01:21.
:01:21.:01:27.

captain. -- Big Sam. Brilliant by It is also new beginnings for their

:01:27.:01:36.

opponents, Cardiff, and for the agony of the play-offs. Superb goal,

:01:36.:01:41.

Reading are going to Wembley. Cardiff City's season is over.

:01:41.:01:44.

There is a new manager, had nine the new players, and a new pair of

:01:45.:01:53.

strikers. If Kenny Miller. That is a terrific bit of football.

:01:53.:02:03.
:02:03.:02:10.

The championship has carved out a niche as well have the most

:02:10.:02:15.

unpredictable and entertaining leaves anywhere. -- leaks.

:02:15.:02:25.
:02:25.:02:38.

terrific finale. Going for the top A very good strike on the turn.

:02:38.:02:48.
:02:48.:03:15.

QPR in here, and they have level. - It really is some leak. So

:03:15.:03:18.

competitive 18 of the 24 championship sides have been

:03:18.:03:23.

premier clubs, but never Cardiff City. Dave Jones is the nanny to

:03:23.:03:29.

come closest. Great to have you with this. -- is the man. Such a

:03:29.:03:36.

difficult league to get out of. the hardest one to get out of. The

:03:36.:03:43.

Premiership is the hardest one to stay in. 18 clubs will all be

:03:43.:03:47.

wanting to get back there. Players coming into it, prepared to drop

:03:47.:03:55.

down. Because of the standard that is there. There are two ext England

:03:55.:03:59.

managers in it. He shows you how competitive and how tough it is.

:03:59.:04:03.

West Ham have got a decision to make under Sam Allardyce, do they

:04:03.:04:07.

try and played the football fans have enjoyed or will they have to

:04:07.:04:15.

adapt? It will be entirely up to the manager. He has said he will

:04:15.:04:20.

play a certain way, get his players organised, and my feelings, if he

:04:20.:04:23.

had been here at the end of last season they would not have gone

:04:23.:04:27.

down. Certain things would have been sorted out. The bid -- big

:04:27.:04:31.

contrast between West Ham and Cardiff, players have left, the

:04:31.:04:39.

manager has left, everything is new, they have lost some key strikers,

:04:39.:04:44.

Bellamy etc and West Ham have managed to keep three of their key

:04:44.:04:53.

players, green, Parker, and Cole. The key is added quality. The

:04:53.:05:03.

players will be under no illusions. He is playing down that he is

:05:03.:05:07.

expected to get a promotion straight away. Let's hear from the

:05:07.:05:12.

managers. Their best note there is huge expectation on their shoulders.

:05:12.:05:17.

-- they both know. A new challenge for you. A bit nervous today when I

:05:17.:05:22.

work up this morning the stomach was turning over a little bit. That

:05:22.:05:28.

is what you'd do this job for. Looking for the adrenalin rush.

:05:28.:05:31.

There is a little apprehension because I have not been here that

:05:31.:05:35.

long. I am waiting to see what my players can do at the business end

:05:35.:05:39.

of the season. They have been very good over pre-season but you cannot

:05:40.:05:44.

read too much into back. Today is about getting it right. If we can

:05:44.:05:49.

do that and start with a precious three points that would be

:05:49.:05:53.

fantastic. Sam Allardyce has a challenge of his own and you have

:05:53.:06:00.

got one as well. Yes, very much so. A lot of expectation on West Ham,

:06:00.:06:05.

probably favourites to go back up. We have got a whole new set of

:06:05.:06:11.

players and staff. Different challenges. Both of us have got

:06:11.:06:16.

many games to go. This is a different league, we have to adjust

:06:16.:06:20.

to the mentality and the difference it may bring us. The quicker we can

:06:20.:06:25.

do that, which is one of the main reasons we brought Kevin Nolan end,

:06:25.:06:33.

not just a premier-league player but he is experienced how it is, or

:06:33.:06:36.

and hopefully we can get to grips with this division as quickly as

:06:36.:06:39.

possible and use our abilities and skills we have gained over the

:06:39.:06:45.

years to overcome the opposition. Looking forward to it, can you?

:06:45.:06:49.

Absolutely. Really looking forward to the season kicking off. The last

:06:49.:06:53.

five weeks have been about build up but it does today. Ask me in a week,

:06:53.:06:57.

I might tell you a different answer. West Ham looked very strong.

:06:57.:07:07.
:07:07.:07:20.

Scott Parker still there for now. Look at that central 33. -- that

:07:20.:07:27.

central three. He until West Ham settle down, the deadline is the

:07:27.:07:35.

end of the month. He needs to get some games under his belt, settles

:07:35.:07:44.

players. Nolan has done it before, was captain of Newcastle last

:07:45.:07:49.

season, knows what it is like to galvanise the team and go through

:07:49.:07:53.

the rigours of the championship. You can compare Newcastle to West

:07:53.:07:57.

Ham when they came down. They kept the majority of the players, as

:07:57.:08:01.

quality players as well. The biggest test is how quickly they

:08:01.:08:05.

adapt. They are not going to get time on the ball like they do in

:08:05.:08:12.

the Premiership. Most teams play high tempo. All of a sudden there

:08:12.:08:16.

will be people in your face all over the park. Good players will

:08:16.:08:22.

adapt but it will take a bit of time. I spoke to the goalkeeping

:08:22.:08:26.

coach this morning and said they have already analysed and looked at

:08:26.:08:32.

a lot of tapes on how championship teams play and how quick and half-

:08:32.:08:35.

fit the teams are to play. Let's have a look at Cardiff, much

:08:35.:08:45.
:08:45.:08:54.

Obviously the key players, they have gone. Big boots to fill.

:08:54.:08:57.

signed Kenny as a young lad, brought him down from Scotland to

:08:57.:09:07.
:09:07.:09:07.

Wolverhampton Wanderers. Neil on 50, 60 goals going out. They have paid

:09:07.:09:15.

�1 million. The expectation levels in Cardiff are promotion. Don't

:09:15.:09:21.

bring him in just to be mediocre. He is renowned for scoring goals.

:09:21.:09:25.

Has been at Cardiff before, knows the city. He can rediscover the

:09:25.:09:33.

form he showed. Didn't quite hit form he showed. Didn't quite hit

:09:33.:09:43.
:09:43.:09:45.

The players they have lost, the play-off situation of the last few

:09:45.:09:54.

years, that disappointment, they Having gone through the play-off

:09:54.:10:00.

disappointments, was it going to be hard to rebuild and reignite?

:10:00.:10:04.

The year before, everybody said you can't go again, and we did. We went

:10:04.:10:09.

one stage better because we finished with more points. Does

:10:09.:10:12.

expectations of the day the players? A big city with high hopes

:10:12.:10:16.

and a feeling that after 50 years it should be back at the top?

:10:16.:10:21.

is what you are in the game for. People ask why didn't we do it. At

:10:21.:10:26.

the end of the day we just fell short. You can look for as many in

:10:26.:10:32.

reasons or excuses, but we fell short at the final hurdle and the

:10:32.:10:36.

hardest one to get over. Whether it be look, not having the players fit,

:10:36.:10:41.

are losing goalkeepers, you can look for as many as you want but we

:10:41.:10:45.

fell short. If there is a way to work a strategy at if you are going

:10:45.:10:50.

to get into the top two places, sneak into the last six at the last

:10:50.:10:58.

moment because the teams would have late momentum do well. It is not a

:10:58.:11:05.

bad way to go up. But the best way is in the top two. Looking this

:11:05.:11:10.

year at the teams in the division, five or six teams wanting or should

:11:10.:11:20.
:11:20.:11:21.

be in that top to. That is not possible. For the fans alone, what

:11:21.:11:25.

do they expect? They expect them to be up there and challenging. They

:11:25.:11:31.

have got to do that. Swansea were the team that got up. Talk about

:11:31.:11:36.

expectation, looking at the West Ham fans. They expect the manager

:11:36.:11:40.

to deliver and these new signings to deliver. The iconic music is

:11:40.:11:43.

playing which is a signal for us to get outside and enjoy the

:11:43.:11:48.

atmosphere. Let's crack on with the action. Your commentary team, good

afternoon to Mark Lawrenson and The sun is out. The bubbles will be

:12:00.:12:04.

blowing from the home supporters. For a club duty move into the

:12:04.:12:09.

Olympic Stadium, the old adage it is a marathon and not a sprint

:12:09.:12:14.

would seem to be appropriate. The championship is a test of endurance

:12:14.:12:24.
:12:24.:12:25.

as well as a test of skill. That is the rates they set out on today. --

:12:25.:12:31.

the road. In different circumstances it might have been a

:12:31.:12:36.

Premier League game, perhaps with Dave James and Averham brand still

:12:36.:12:44.

there. -- Dave Jones and Avram Grant. Two new managers have the

:12:44.:12:49.

same objective, to get out of the championship. There is a man who

:12:49.:12:55.

could have a big say for West Ham United. Only nine players in the

:12:56.:12:58.

Premier League has scored more goals in that league last season

:12:58.:13:02.

than Kevin Nolan. That is the quality Sam Allardyce has brought

:13:02.:13:10.

to West Ham. As well as banal and there is Matt Taylor. -- as well as

:13:10.:13:16.

Kevin Nolan. Scott parter, Robert Green, Carlton Cole. -- Scott

:13:16.:13:26.
:13:26.:13:33.

in all honesty. Depression in May has turned to optimism in August.

:13:33.:13:40.

And Sam Allardyce, for the first time in a decade, takes charge of a

:13:40.:13:48.

team outside of English football's top flight. 2001 he got Bolton into

:13:48.:13:51.

the Premier League and has been there ever since with Bolton,

:13:51.:14:01.
:14:01.:14:01.

Newcastle, Blackburn. I gather they are queuing down Green Street for

:14:01.:14:07.

season tickets. West Ham supporters. There is Cardiff's returning hero,

:14:07.:14:14.

Robert ensure playing alongside Kenny Miller. -- Robert Earnshaw.

:14:14.:14:19.

They lost 12 players at the end of last season, Cardiff City. They

:14:19.:14:24.

brought in a few as well. Sam Allardyce is about it introduced

:14:24.:14:34.

formally to these West Ham supporters, and a couple of

:14:34.:14:44.

promising pre-season games. Sam Allardyce will get a big welcome

:14:44.:14:54.
:14:54.:15:05.

squad. Says something for West Ham's chances of keeping Parker and

:15:05.:15:15.
:15:15.:15:23.

Parker, if it is not a top-six club, he might stay here. You said they

:15:23.:15:29.

were queueing for season tickets. Has there been assigning or as part

:15:29.:15:39.
:15:39.:15:53.

everyone's imagination? They did testament to the strength of

:15:53.:15:58.

Frederick Piquionne. All change at Cardiff. A new manager, and of this

:15:58.:16:04.

11, only two started Cardiff's last game, the second leg of the play-

:16:04.:16:10.

off semi-final against Reading. The front to both approaching 200 goals

:16:10.:16:14.

in their careers, and Sam Allardyce soaping up the adulation that the

:16:14.:16:20.

atmosphere. -- soaking up. You wouldn't cross those two. Yes,

:16:20.:16:30.
:16:30.:16:30.

there would be some second places promotion out of the Championship.

:16:30.:16:35.

Would you say that was about right? Leicester City are the other joint

:16:35.:16:41.

favourites. I think West Ham, for me, would be clear favourites. The

:16:41.:16:46.

quality of the midfield alone today, if you can keep the likes of Scott

:16:47.:16:50.

Parker and Robert Green, that will make a massive difference to the

:16:50.:16:55.

team. Experience, 46 games, and this league is a marathon and very

:16:56.:17:02.

difficult to get out of. Her would Web -- Haward Webb, looking like he

:17:02.:17:06.

has been somewhere sunny, but looking fit as ever. I don't

:17:06.:17:13.

suppose he has been to Holland, has he? I would guess not. A huddle for

:17:13.:17:22.

Cardiff City. And a real buzz around Upton Park. Malky Mackay,

:17:22.:17:28.

former Cardiff -- the map -- Malky Mackay, former West Ham player, the

:17:28.:17:35.

Cardiff manager here. He has experienced a promotion here.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 45 seconds

:17:50.:18:35.

to West Ham United, and a little inadvertent one-two off Winston

:18:35.:18:40.

Reid. They say never go back, but Robert Earnshaw has gone back to

:18:40.:18:45.

Cardiff. He was so prolific in his first spell. It was seven years ago

:18:45.:18:48.

that he left the club. The number is the number of games he has

:18:49.:18:52.

played in the last three seasons, so there is an obvious question

:18:52.:19:02.
:19:02.:19:12.

to lack confidence. You might see from this shot, Kenny Miller was

:19:12.:19:22.
:19:22.:19:29.

he was nervous, but I think it is a completely different expectation

:19:29.:19:34.

now, getting into the Premier League rather than keeping teams

:19:34.:19:40.

successfully in the Premier League. The little shot of Faubert over the

:19:40.:19:45.

shoulder, injured at the moment. Another big player potentially for

:19:45.:19:55.
:19:55.:19:57.

as Parker had his eye on the ball, he just stopped and made him look a

:19:57.:20:07.
:20:07.:20:16.

Newcastle last season. For what he also gives you is in the dressing

:20:16.:20:26.
:20:26.:20:45.

Craig Conway, -- the little for a. Scottish international signed from

:20:45.:20:55.
:20:55.:21:02.

potentially it was tricky for him - - Hodson. That has come a long way,

:21:02.:21:12.
:21:12.:21:16.

almost on the edge of the 18 yard penalty area. That did appear to

hit him on the right hand. The free the legs of Marshall. It only

:22:59.:23:03.

lacked the finish. He was just saying that he was maybe waiting

:23:04.:23:07.

for a shout for someone to spare him, which is why he went on his

:23:08.:23:17.
:23:18.:23:34.

get it right. Carlton Cole on the bench is very interesting, isn't

:23:34.:23:43.

it? I think he might be about to leave, somehow. The mistake from

:23:43.:23:53.
:23:53.:23:53.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 45 seconds

:23:53.:24:49.

today, the Piquionne preferred, and today, Carlton Cole, Jock Cullis

:24:49.:24:55.

and -- Jack Collison, Abdul a fake, and the Mexican who scored twice in

:24:55.:25:01.

the Gold Cup final in June as Mexican won the Gold Cup. He scored

:25:01.:25:11.
:25:11.:25:28.

one of the quickest in the league. He might not look it with grey hair,

:25:28.:25:38.
:25:38.:25:38.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 45 seconds

:25:38.:26:28.

Nolan in the middle. -- much too high for Matt Taylor and Kevin

:26:28.:26:38.
:26:38.:27:08.

should have just slotted it in recovering challenge from Anthony

:27:08.:27:18.
:27:18.:27:24.

and the referee has given that. He shoved Anthony Gerrard over.

:27:24.:27:28.

wasn't sure about Scott Parker's last touch when he took it into the

:27:28.:27:30.

penalty area. He could have protected the ball a little bit

:27:30.:27:36.

better. Definitely onside. Just there, not a great touch,

:27:36.:27:46.
:27:46.:28:17.

as a player three seasons running at Norwich, West Ham and Watford.

:28:17.:28:20.

From the Championship to the Premier League each time, but once

and no matter who you are, all of a one of four or five Scottish

:30:27.:30:34.

International's in this team. I think Rangers were very keen to

take him back. I am not sure he has actually touched the ball yet.

:30:42.:30:52.
:30:52.:31:22.

make the clearance. Aron Gunnarsson is given by the referee's assistant.

:31:22.:31:31.

He stuck his flag up first. Thinks he is a little hard done by.

:31:31.:31:41.
:31:41.:32:18.

Gerrard has a sense of being hard save from David Marshall. A great

wide at the end. Best bit of over the top. They are claiming the

:33:52.:34:01.

corner, West Ham, but they haven't got it. He had already run 60 yards

final. They finished 4th twice. They just couldn't take the final

:38:06.:38:14.

step. They have made fortunes along the way in terms of bringing

:38:14.:38:21.

players in and selling them on. Sold over �30 million worth of

:38:21.:38:31.
:38:31.:39:08.

attempts, both gone straight out of play. It kind of defeats the object,

:39:08.:39:18.
:39:18.:39:39.

West Ham, that is the plan, then they will be at the Olympic Stadium.

Andrew Taylor. Don Cowley's header had a little deflection on it.

free kicks from that side for West unlucky with that header. It looked

:44:42.:44:52.
:44:52.:45:17.

Howard Webb is needed. There is contact, which is daft. He pulled

:45:17.:45:24.

him round, no need, he was going to get a throw-in. Five or 10 yards

:45:24.:45:34.
:45:34.:45:35.

away from the goal line. Winston Reid, the New Zealand international,

:45:35.:45:40.

:47:56.:48:06.

:53:34.:53:38.

generally Malky Mackay, as he is in charge of the away team, would be

:53:38.:53:48.
:53:48.:54:11.

quite pleased to going out 0-0. -- kick from Piquionne. A few bright

:54:11.:54:16.

start as for West Ham in this game, but perhaps running short on the

:54:16.:54:21.

men to -- the few bright starters. They have had more possession, just

:54:21.:54:24.

a lack of quality in the final third in terms of opportunities

:54:24.:54:34.
:54:34.:54:40.

could only be described as a heavy first touch. He has got away with

behind it. That was effective But it might be touched on to

:56:12.:56:22.
:56:22.:56:31.

Parker, who had either advanced too soon or used his arm. I do not know

:56:31.:56:34.

if that is for handball or braking too quickly from the wall. Handball,

:56:34.:56:44.
:56:44.:56:47.

hand to go. He turns away at the point of impact. That's a save,

:56:47.:56:57.
:56:57.:57:04.

now in the penalty area. If anybody raises an arm to protect themselves,

:57:04.:57:08.

and it hits that arm, the referee might be inclined to point to the

:57:08.:57:18.
:57:18.:57:44.

behind for the corner. I do not think he saw it that late, a kind

:57:44.:57:54.
:57:54.:58:27.

of swung away from behind the wall. Cardiff at the moment. Their best

:58:27.:58:33.

spell, isn't it? He hasn't played for England since the mistake

:58:33.:58:43.
:58:43.:58:43.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 45 seconds

bounced off that chest, so West Ham at the moment. You could see what

:02:13.:02:23.
:02:23.:02:34.

he was trying to do but he was the last 10 minutes or so. Kevin

:02:34.:02:44.
:02:44.:03:22.

chance in this half it will probably go West Ham's way. That

:03:22.:03:25.

has summered at the last 10 minutes for West Ham, they have lost their

:03:25.:03:35.
:03:35.:03:40.

way a bit. -- summed up. They have not created any outstanding chances.

:03:40.:03:50.
:03:50.:03:57.

this time against Mellor. Mellor and ensure have kept him pretty

:03:57.:04:07.
:04:07.:04:22.

busy -- Kevin Miller and Robert careers. That is the end of the

:04:22.:04:27.

first half in which West Ham United under Sam Allardyce started pretty

:04:27.:04:37.
:04:37.:04:39.

well, created an early opportunity for Frederic Piquionne. The free

:04:39.:04:44.

kick late on brought a good save from Robert Green who had also

:04:44.:04:50.

stopped a deflected header earlier in half. Sunshine and rain. A bit

:04:50.:05:00.
:05:00.:05:01.

Fairly decent assessment after saying what a competitive exciting

:05:01.:05:06.

league this is, probably not the best example. It looked a nervous

:05:06.:05:16.
:05:16.:05:20.

It had that August feel to it. When West Ham played the crowd got up

:05:20.:05:28.

but at other times it did feel a bit flat. We were saying, it almost

:05:28.:05:35.

looked like they were a bit tired, and no real snap in the play. No

:05:36.:05:43.

real pace. If just got that feel it is pre-season, a bit tired, and it

:05:43.:05:49.

is not just there. It is raining now so the pitch might quicken up.

:05:49.:05:54.

To be fair to Cardiff, they have not played great but kept

:05:54.:05:59.

themselves in the game. Let's have a look at West Ham's chances

:05:59.:06:03.

starting with Frederic Piquionne he was early on had a bit of

:06:04.:06:13.
:06:14.:06:36.

due now, there is the angle. The Scott Parker, if you want one

:06:36.:06:41.

player to go through on goal, it is probably not him. He is not

:06:41.:06:45.

blistering pace, running out of steam. Defender comes over. A good

:06:45.:06:55.
:06:55.:06:59.

chance, made it himself. There he enough distance. What about Matt

:06:59.:07:07.

Taylor? You will always get quality from him. If you get him on the

:07:07.:07:13.

ball, set pieces like that, he will always create something. After 20

:07:13.:07:16.

minutes or so when the sun was at its brightest and West Ham started

:07:16.:07:21.

to put some passes together and play some good football. It was all

:07:21.:07:27.

in front of the 18 yard, no real penetration from them. Cardiff will

:07:27.:07:33.

be pleased. Difficult place to come. Gone in at half-time. I asked you

:07:33.:07:39.

if they would change the way they would play before. West Ham, good

:07:39.:07:45.

football, Parker sees the space and there is Nolan. This is a great run

:07:45.:07:52.

down the right hand side, O'Brien does well, gets in that space. He

:07:52.:08:02.
:08:02.:08:10.

does well to get round then pulled back. He decided to pull it back.

:08:10.:08:15.

Good football. Cardiff did have their chances. Robert Earnshaw was

:08:15.:08:25.
:08:25.:08:25.

busy earlier round. And Don Cowie, from Watford with Malky Mackay.

:08:25.:08:30.

They play on defenders shoulders. They will get caught up offside a

:08:30.:08:40.
:08:40.:08:43.

lot of the time, but two strikers any need have a chance. This was a

:08:43.:08:53.
:08:53.:08:55.

good save. Greene saw that late. -- Robert Green. How did Cardiff

:08:55.:09:05.
:09:05.:09:06.

looked to you for the Cardiff you He doesn't matter how many games

:09:06.:09:09.

you play in pre-season, you'll never play the same team. They are

:09:10.:09:14.

just finding their feet. Malky Mackay will be the more pleased of

:09:14.:09:18.

the two managers. Away from home, kept a clean sheet, got away with

:09:18.:09:28.
:09:28.:09:32.

one or two things. So they will be more pleased than probably West Ham.

:09:32.:09:37.

The thing is with Frederic Piquionne, when he comes out to the

:09:37.:09:41.

sides there is nobody with that little engine to drive in behind so

:09:41.:09:45.

it gives the defenders something to think about. He is coming out,

:09:45.:09:48.

centre half goes with him, is nobody giving him a thought of

:09:48.:09:56.

there is a run of the ball? No real snap to the play. They're expecting

:09:56.:10:00.

Nolan to do it. Let's catch up with the best of the action from the

:10:00.:10:05.

weekend so far in the Football League. A couple of sand issues. We

:10:05.:10:08.

will do our own voice-over. We thought you would rather see the

:10:08.:10:18.
:10:18.:10:19.

first match of the championship. think they will do quite well this

:10:19.:10:25.

year. I still feel as if they have got that team spirit to do well.

:10:25.:10:32.

The spirit at the Amex yesterday, but Doncaster have the early spoils.

:10:32.:10:39.

They looked really good, Doncaster. Nine minutes into injury time they

:10:39.:10:45.

got it. A great start for them. Listening to the commentary,

:10:45.:10:49.

Doncaster or had the better game. It is only when they started to

:10:49.:10:56.

these plays Brad -- Brighton came in a little bit more. A great story.

:10:56.:11:03.

Just opened his body up, great finish. Losing both strikers in

:11:03.:11:09.

injury yesterday. There he is. Two former England manager's making

:11:09.:11:16.

their debut in the championship yesterday. He has spent money,

:11:16.:11:26.
:11:26.:11:28.

taking a gamble and got the players. There is the other one. Best to get

:11:28.:11:32.

the point than come away with nothing. At least it is something

:11:32.:11:40.

to build on. Fans are so fickle, one game, they want him out already.

:11:40.:11:50.
:11:50.:12:09.

his head is right he will score goals at this level. What about

:12:09.:12:18.

David James' head? I think he will finish as the leading goalscorer.

:12:18.:12:23.

Dobbie was so disappointed towards the end of last season, -- Derby.

:12:23.:12:31.

Three valuable points for them. teams in this championship. There

:12:31.:12:34.

will be 10, 12 teams that all think they have got a chance of automatic

:12:34.:12:44.

promotion. A very young manager in this one. You sort of forget about

:12:44.:12:54.
:12:54.:12:55.

Burnley. Financially they are in the market. Reading who are a lot

:12:55.:13:03.

of people's favourites. Two late goals. They were unlucky last

:13:03.:13:13.
:13:13.:13:19.

fitness levels up. A great result, Southampton, Leeds. Teatime kick-

:13:19.:13:23.

off. A lot of people say these could do better than last season,

:13:24.:13:27.

but Southampton, the new boys. think they have got everything in

:13:27.:13:34.

place. Fantastic facilities. They are coming up, had a good season

:13:34.:13:43.

last year. A few harsh words to his team after that game. You don't

:13:43.:13:47.

expect to start the season like that. They have held on to a lot of

:13:47.:13:57.
:13:57.:13:57.

their players. This was at the Valley yesterday. Charlton got off

:13:57.:14:07.
:14:07.:14:13.

to a winning start as well in Brighton, Southampton, a very

:14:13.:14:19.

competitive league. Look at the two Sheffield clubs, massive clubs.

:14:19.:14:24.

Charlton in there as well. They have all been at the top flight.

:14:24.:14:28.

Quote of the week. If you are a player don't do what I did as a

:14:28.:14:37.

player. He couldn't resist himself on the touchline. Crawley also with

:14:37.:14:46.

a debut win in the league. Surrey, they drew. A great set up down

:14:46.:14:56.
:14:56.:15:03.

King's Meadows, almost a dream start. Almost got the point, then

:15:03.:15:10.

Bristol Rovers, relegated last season. Too strong for them. Late

:15:10.:15:20.

penalty and Rovers took all three problems and we were blooding that.

:15:20.:15:28.

We just thought she would want to Today is yet to live up to

:15:28.:15:33.

expectations, but it was a lively opening day. A couple of teams we

:15:33.:15:36.

thought would come out firing, like thought would come out firing, like

:15:36.:15:40.

Leicester,. Every manager wants to get the first couple of games out

:15:40.:15:46.

of the way. You want to get it out the way and get up and running.

:15:46.:15:49.

think Leicester, with the money they have spent, they deserve to be

:15:49.:15:53.

there. West Ham with that squad, but the rest there are 10 or 11

:15:53.:15:58.

teams that could push for play-off places. There will be a few big

:15:58.:16:03.

teams looking at automatic promotion. I fancy West Ham and

:16:03.:16:09.

Blackpool. Ipswich are the dark horses. A everyone has said Ipswich.

:16:09.:16:14.

A Aynho he will play down -- I know he will play down, but maybe

:16:14.:16:19.

Portsmouth. If he can get a squad. He has a good first choice 11. They

:16:19.:16:29.

Thanks, guys. There is a World Cup winner and West Ham legends

:16:29.:16:39.
:16:39.:16:41.

Everybody that comes here, it is a big game. Yes, and for the

:16:41.:16:51.
:16:51.:16:51.

Martin Peters unfortunately just drop off there, but we will get him

:16:51.:16:58.

back. We did he go? So, the second half, what do you see? A I think

:16:58.:17:03.

West Ham have to up the tempo. are a good passing side and if they

:17:03.:17:07.

get the tempo up, with the pitch quickening up with the rain, they

:17:07.:17:12.

will get a few more chances. Cardiff might struggle. But to be

:17:12.:17:16.

fair, they have held their own. They just need a goal. She will we

:17:16.:17:23.

try and see per -- shall we try and see Martin Peters again. Martin,

:17:23.:17:27.

what did you make of the new Sam Allardyce era? We have to look and

:17:27.:17:32.

see how the team is going to play and they started off very

:17:32.:17:36.

aggressively as Sam Allardyce is any way. So, very positive. One or

:17:36.:17:40.

two chances but we just couldn't finish them. Cardiff came into it

:17:40.:17:44.

in the last 10 minutes. I suggested he might be looking to do their

:17:44.:17:48.

hairdryer treatment, but that was because his hair was wet. This

:17:48.:17:52.

season, not necessarily the West Ham way they talk about, but it is

:17:52.:17:57.

the new Sam Allardyce way. Whatever it takes, really? I read that in

:17:57.:18:03.

the paper and I do not take much notice. You come out and do the

:18:03.:18:08.

best the your manager wants you to play. We had a good run and Ron

:18:08.:18:12.

Greenwood and I were the only ones to change it, and Sam can change it.

:18:13.:18:16.

If you are successful, the supporters will like it. You are

:18:16.:18:21.

looking very well, may I say. OK, still doing a bit of work here

:18:21.:18:25.

and there. It's always nice to come back to my old hunting ground when

:18:25.:18:30.

I was a kid of 15. It's a long time ago. It is a club with great

:18:30.:18:34.

tradition, history, glamourous names and some big names still here.

:18:34.:18:38.

Every one that comes here, it is a big day out, and that is something

:18:38.:18:44.

you have to overcome. It has such a great history. To come to West Ham

:18:44.:18:48.

and play at Upton Park is great. Whether they will go to the new

:18:48.:18:53.

stadium, I don't know. But it is great to come to West Ham and watch

:18:53.:18:56.

games and other teams come and enjoy themselves as well. We will

:18:56.:18:59.

see what happens in the rest of the day. Thanks for joining us.

:18:59.:19:04.

pleasure. Great to be here. They would not move in at the beginning

:19:04.:19:07.

of next season, it has to be converted for use as a football

:19:07.:19:11.

ground but that would be the dream finish. Get back into the Premier

:19:11.:19:15.

League and move into a new stadium. For I think Sam Allardyce said that

:19:15.:19:20.

West Ham have to go up. To keep the players they have got, they have to

:19:20.:19:25.

go up. You see the fan-base, the new stadium on the horizon, it is

:19:25.:19:29.

the same as Leicester, the money they have spent, it has to be

:19:29.:19:34.

promotion. They cannot just miss out. That is the pressure mauve --

:19:34.:19:39.

both managers have put themselves under. Sven-Goran Eriksson expects

:19:39.:19:43.

to get the chop if he does not get them up. They air a few managers

:19:43.:19:51.

like that. All of the managers are under pressure. When you get there,

:19:51.:19:55.

it is what you do with your money and resources. Interesting to see

:19:55.:19:59.

how the teams have gone up are like Norwich, who spent a bit of money,

:19:59.:20:04.

but the other two have and, so how will they cope? They are blowing

:20:04.:20:08.

bubbles out there. Let's see if the rain affects the match in the

:20:08.:20:13.

second half. Maybe a little more speed. A few mistakes. It is

:20:13.:20:18.

looking a bit more like September and October. Let's rejoin the

:20:18.:20:28.
:20:28.:20:28.

please the people sitting in the front rows around Upton Park

:20:28.:20:33.

because they do not quite get covered by the roof in those seats.

:20:33.:20:37.

West Ham are back out anyway. Although the Cardiff team are

:20:37.:20:44.

coming out now, as you can see. No changes to either side as Cardiff

:20:44.:20:49.

City come out, their supporters are housed on the left-hand side in the

:20:49.:20:59.
:20:59.:21:00.

Trevor Brooking stand. Trevor Brooking does not miss too many

:21:00.:21:04.

games. And he is an example of a player who was relegated with West

:21:04.:21:09.

Ham, stayed at the club, and continued to wear an England shirt,

:21:09.:21:13.

despite not playing in the top flight. That is the situation which,

:21:13.:21:18.

at the moment, Scott Parker and Robert Green find themselves in.

:21:18.:21:22.

They may have decisions to make over the course of the next four

:21:23.:21:28.

weeks while the transfer window is open. That rain has just started

:21:28.:21:34.

again after a said it had gone. We will hope for a bit more fees in

:21:34.:21:40.

the second half as it was a bit flat in the first. So, West Ham

:21:40.:21:50.
:21:50.:21:50.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 45 seconds

:21:50.:22:53.

getters under way, from left to sort of goals guaranteed. That is

:22:53.:23:03.
:23:03.:23:10.

the mistakes that might be coming because of the slippery pitch. This

:23:10.:23:15.

one is pretty central. It might be a bit far away for a smack at goal,

:23:15.:23:18.

but Whittingham is capable and Craig Conway looks interested as

:23:18.:23:28.
:23:28.:23:49.

had it been on target. He s, he had it covered. -- yes, he had it

:23:49.:23:59.
:23:59.:24:17.

Capello would attend this game, but he hasn't. As opposed to the

:24:17.:24:27.
:24:27.:24:44.

past, but he gets a hug from someone in the lower Tear despite

:24:44.:24:51.

it. Lots of new managers in the Championship. Not just Malky Mackay

:24:51.:24:55.

and Sam Allardyce who have moved jobs, but there is another former

:24:55.:25:00.

Newcastle manager, Chris Hughton, now at Birmingham City. And Dean

:25:00.:25:10.
:25:10.:25:19.

Holdsworth alongside him to the had to get high tonic to give

Robert Green a chance to come and stayed on their feet. One of two

:26:47.:26:51.

occasions when Matt Taylor got behind on the left, but that is

:26:51.:27:01.
:27:01.:27:02.

about it in terms of West Ham's by Piquionne, and that is what has

:27:03.:27:07.

been given. I think this might be quite tight. I think he knows he's

:27:07.:27:17.
:27:17.:27:48.

going to be second best at the end John Carew to hold the ball up when

:27:48.:27:54.

he comes and plays. Park and Noble will run the other side of him. --

:27:54.:28:04.
:28:04.:28:19.

been a big consideration in the minds of both Matt Taylor and Kevin

:28:19.:28:23.

Nowlan, I think, in joining West Ham. They both worked with him

:28:24.:28:33.
:28:34.:28:37.

successfully at Bolton -- Kevin Liverpool captain. McNaughton could

:28:38.:28:47.

worried at the moment, because they are not really looking to trouble

:28:47.:28:57.
:28:57.:28:57.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 45 seconds

:28:57.:29:48.

West Ham. They are not really being Earnshaw well wide. Kenny Miller

:29:48.:29:52.

just add a little look at Robert Earnshaw, asking if he could not

:30:02.:30:02.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 45 seconds

:30:02.:31:09.

1962, Cardiff. Kevin McNaughton is for West Ham at the moment. Too

:31:09.:31:19.

easy for Cardiff to defend against. Did well under pressure from Taylor

:31:19.:31:29.

did Kevin Norton. -- Kevin Peterborough, Brighton, Southampton

play more football, but you have got to give it to Kenny Miller, he

is a goalscorer and he doesn't miss. Marshall made some fantastic saves.

:11:26.:11:29.

I don't think West Ham did enough to actually win the game. The

:11:29.:11:34.

longer the game went on Cardiff were putting better passes together

:11:34.:11:38.

and I don't know who it was that made the mistake down the line,

which let them in. And I said it is one of those games where they have

a lot of pressure against them. But one mistake from the other and, and

to say that. Slightly angled. I think he should say this. It has

They are the plays -- hardest to play against. All of a sudden you

switch off for that two minutes and two stars to get into the game. He

made his run, got closed down, stood, and if -- defenders went too

far off him. A good finish but the goalkeeper would be disappointed

going through both hands. Let's have a look at some of West Ham's

:13:24.:13:34.
:13:34.:13:42.

chances. The ball cut inside on his left foot, and the pitch is Skidby,

:13:42.:13:52.
:13:52.:13:55.

Great run from Taylor, sucks the defender in. Frederic Piquionne

:13:55.:14:00.

gets a bit too far ahead of the near post. This is the goalkeeper

:14:00.:14:10.
:14:10.:14:20.

Didn't get a big enough look on it to take the keeper out. Before his

:14:20.:14:30.
:14:30.:14:31.

He has done his job. I'm sure if he wasn't there the manager would be

:14:31.:14:37.

asking why. It is welcome to the championship to West Ham. It will

:14:37.:14:47.
:14:47.:14:52.

not be as easy as they think. and Bizet as a manager? -- what

:14:52.:14:55.

will Sam Allardyce be saying as a manager. People are still bedding

:14:55.:14:59.

in, they are getting used to the championship. It might take two or

:14:59.:15:07.

three games. They have got a good squad of players. Sam Allardyce

:15:07.:15:10.

will be very disappointed, but also you have got to be a little bit

:15:10.:15:20.
:15:20.:15:21.

They could feasibly lose a couple of players, like Scott Parker.

:15:21.:15:24.

might be a good thing, and he could bring in other players and freshen

:15:24.:15:30.

it up. There is always someone who has got to do a job, and I always

:15:30.:15:35.

believe that if you lost a player, either through injury or you have

:15:35.:15:39.

sold him, you have to fill up the shirt. I am sure that some can get

:15:39.:15:43.

the players that will do well at this level. The Football League is

:15:43.:15:47.

back with a bang, and next weekend sees the return of the Premier

:15:47.:15:57.
:15:57.:16:28.

League. We will be rolling out the All manner of chat and features

:16:28.:16:32.

updated daily. We can speak to the match-winner, goalscorer Kenny

:16:32.:16:40.

Kenny, you have scored goals all over the world, and maybe not much

:16:40.:16:43.

sweeter than that one. A fantastic result a top of a good performance

:16:43.:16:51.

for the boys. It was hard work at times. We threw everything at them,

:16:51.:16:55.

and we got the reward in the end for the hard work with a goal.

:16:55.:16:58.

Goalscorers like to score goals, obviously. That is what you came

:16:58.:17:04.

for. That is it. As a forward, you want to come to a new club and get

:17:04.:17:08.

off the mark early, and a great place to do it. A whole new era at

:17:08.:17:12.

Cardiff, what a great writer start. No one is going to get carried away

:17:12.:17:22.

there. It was important to come here and getting a point here would

:17:22.:17:25.

have been a good result, but syndicate at the end was a dream

:17:25.:17:32.

start for us. The will settle for A great three points for Cardiff,

:17:32.:17:37.

because they would necessarily have put this down at as a banker. You

:17:37.:17:42.

had had the disappointment of going through the play-offs so to come

:17:42.:17:46.

here and take three points, that was good. As Kenny said, to come

:17:46.:17:51.

here for. Is very good. To come away with three points is probably

:17:51.:17:54.

what they didn't expect, but as I said before, this division is

:17:54.:18:00.

littered with teams and players that can do you damage. I think it

:18:00.:18:05.

is a learning curve for West Ham. Day, brilliant at the rear. Lee
