:01:05. > :01:09.Sir John Alcock and Bez. It's time I hope you've had a good weekend.
:01:09. > :01:13.Thanks very much for ending it with us. A full Sunday service for you
:01:13. > :01:16.as usual, live and in HD, in the company of a guy who grew up in the
:01:16. > :01:19.neighbouring city, Lee Dixon. And beside him, a man who is currently
:01:19. > :01:23.celebrating his 25-second anniversary as a Match Of The Day
:01:23. > :01:33.pundit, Jason Roberts. We are super sized yet again tonight. Here's the
:01:33. > :01:36.
:01:36. > :01:46.Bolton hosted a rumble at the Another Sunday, another London
:01:46. > :01:47.
:01:47. > :01:57.derby. Fulham and Spurs at the Wolves and Wigan battle for the W
:01:57. > :02:00.at Molineux. We've also got October's Goal of the Month. All
:02:00. > :02:04.the action too from yesterday coming your way. But we start at
:02:04. > :02:13.the Reebok. Not a happy home for the Wanderers, as they welcomed the
:02:13. > :02:18.Europa League's golden boys. This is Bolton's 11 consecutive season
:02:18. > :02:25.in the Premier League but as they enter the 11th game for this when
:02:25. > :02:28.there was reasons for concern. After a tough schedule, Owen
:02:28. > :02:34.Coyle's side have lost eight, conceding 27. More worryingly
:02:34. > :02:38.though, they haven't picked up a point yet at home. Stoke are also
:02:38. > :02:41.not in the best league form, losing three out of their last four and
:02:41. > :02:44.conceding six in their last two. On Monday they were beaten 3-1 at home
:02:44. > :02:51.against Newcastle but away form is their big weakness. With just one
:02:51. > :02:56.Eight days since Bolton last played and Owen Coyle changed half his
:02:56. > :03:06.players on the starting line-up and Swansea. Most eye-catching is the
:03:06. > :03:10.
:03:10. > :03:14.Premier League debut for Riley at days. Only Andy Wilkinson has been
:03:14. > :03:22.picked to start all three games. It's the first meeting between
:03:22. > :03:26.Bolton Wanderers and Stoke City. Since the FA Cup semi-final back on
:03:26. > :03:32.Sunday 17th April, which you will remember was won by stoke City by
:03:32. > :03:39.5-0. Some say Bolton wanders have never recovered from that defeat. I
:03:39. > :03:48.think that is debatable. It's a matter of fact that Bolton have won
:03:48. > :03:53.only three of their last 16 games. That is from Glenn Whelan. Was it a
:03:53. > :03:58.back pass? Yes, it was. They have take it quickly. The referee has
:03:58. > :04:03.given it. One minute 25 on the clock. Stoke will protest about
:04:03. > :04:11.that, and for certain. The referee will have none of it. That was
:04:11. > :04:16.smarter by Bolton. Intentional back pass, Glenn Whelan? Just watch
:04:16. > :04:22.Begovic here. Very quickly taken. Out of his hands, by Ivan Klasnic,
:04:22. > :04:26.and given to Kevin Davies, who had the simplest of tasks. He was very
:04:26. > :04:32.accommodating, Begovic to Ivan Klasnic. He effectively gave him
:04:32. > :04:36.the ball. In Bolton's position they needed a bit of fortune. Not a
:04:36. > :04:42.single point at the Reebok Stadium this season and what a gift that
:04:42. > :04:47.was for them and certainly not what Tony Pulis wanted and clearly he is
:04:47. > :04:57.extremely upset about the way that goal has been conceded. Here is
:04:57. > :05:26.
:05:26. > :05:32.Chris Eagles. Wilkinson. He was in got away from Robinson. Scuffed
:05:32. > :05:42.contact, really, from Peter Crouch. Chris Eagles start on the left-hand
:05:42. > :05:52.
:05:52. > :05:59.from Begovic. Mark Davies given far too much space there for so stoke
:05:59. > :06:04.City have lost all three of their games they have played immediately
:06:04. > :06:13.after their Europa league matches this season. Davies with the flag.
:06:13. > :06:16.Ivan Klasnic, it too much of it to Huth. Chris Eagles finds the goal!
:06:16. > :06:26.Brilliant from Chris Eagles, greater awareness and precision, as
:06:26. > :06:36.well, with the finish. 2-0, Bolton wanders. -- Wanderers. Chris Eagles
:06:36. > :06:43.
:06:43. > :06:47.thing about Bolton going 2-0 up midway through the first half is,
:06:47. > :06:53.clearly it's given stoke plenty of time to get back into the match,
:06:53. > :07:00.but I don't think a Jussi Jaaskelainen has had a save to make
:07:00. > :07:07.since they went 2-0 up. Walters. Clawed away by the goalkeeper, no
:07:07. > :07:17.whistle. The defenders are looking at the referee. Jussi Jaaskelainen
:07:17. > :07:29.
:07:29. > :07:34.Are they going to take a quick one? Here he comes. It is a good one.
:07:34. > :07:44.Huth, nodded away. It might have been going wide anyway but Mark
:07:44. > :08:03.
:08:03. > :08:08.Davies made sure on the post. This Also, another throw-in to defend.
:08:08. > :08:13.Huth went close with the header from the last one. Here it comes.
:08:13. > :08:21.Danger. Crouch couldn't get there and away by Chris Eagles. Tried to
:08:21. > :08:25.win the free kick. Away by Robinson. It struck his arm, but he can't
:08:25. > :08:29.have known anything about it. Walter's appealed. The Stoke
:08:29. > :08:35.supporters are appealing, as well, behind that goal. Tony Pulis has
:08:35. > :08:45.seen its strike his arm as well. I'm sure it does, but no, it hit
:08:45. > :08:58.
:08:58. > :09:05.Bolton! And I think Bolton can celebrate now. Still half an hour
:09:05. > :09:10.to play but a 3-0 lead. It opened up for Bolton. That was perfect for
:09:10. > :09:15.the left foot of Ivan Klasnic. He just grabbed his foot around it.
:09:15. > :09:21.And he couldn't have plays did any better. They are shouting, we want
:09:21. > :09:31.five, the Bolton supporters. Remember the FA Cup semi-final?
:09:31. > :10:01.
:10:01. > :10:07.Nigel Reo-Coker. He's absolutely their system now. Lovely finish
:10:07. > :10:16.from Chris Eagles, his second goal of the game. Level. Correct
:10:16. > :10:20.decision and look at that. Lovely. Just nicely done. Just tucked away
:10:20. > :10:25.and, with that, Bolton Wanderers are heading for victory while, for
:10:25. > :10:35.Stoke, it's going to be a 4th consecutive defeat away from home
:10:35. > :10:59.
:10:59. > :11:09.With the little glance and this is undoubtedly revenge now for Bolton
:11:09. > :11:19.Wanderers. Just a little touch. Remarkable scoreline. That is his
:11:19. > :11:43.
:11:43. > :11:53.block. Really, really good chance for Fabrice Muamba. Could easily
:11:53. > :12:19.
:12:19. > :12:23.O'Reilly! Very nearly a goal on his So at the sixth attempt Bolton take
:12:23. > :12:26.their first points at home this season thanks to this 5-0 win. And,
:12:26. > :12:29.at the same time, avenge that 5-0 FA Cup semi final humiliation. As
:12:29. > :12:31.for Stoke, they are finding life hard after the Europa League. This
:12:31. > :12:37.is their fourth straight defeat following their continental
:12:37. > :12:41.excursions. I've managed the club I think for
:12:41. > :12:48.over eight-and-a-half years and it's a disappointing performance as
:12:48. > :12:53.any that I have managed. We just didn't compete. We look second best
:12:53. > :12:58.all over the pitch. It's very very disappointing. It was a massive win.
:12:58. > :13:02.It showed what the players, even when we went 1-0 up, we knew the
:13:02. > :13:08.job was not done because a team like stoke can bounce back. Today
:13:08. > :13:13.we showed we are a great team together and individually, as well.
:13:13. > :13:17.Have you got grievances about that goal? Not at all. I had a grievance
:13:17. > :13:21.is about the way we played but the get the opening goal. It was
:13:21. > :13:28.clearly a back pass and the referee blew and it was great for Ivan to
:13:28. > :13:33.set up the skipper. It gave us a platform to move forward. We played
:13:33. > :13:36.at a high intensity. The supporters have had a horrible couple of
:13:36. > :13:43.months and we gave support there something to smile about today. I
:13:43. > :13:49.had a good feeling come into the match. I'd like to thank my parish
:13:49. > :13:52.priest. Someone was looking after him for the Jason, if that semi-
:13:52. > :13:56.final defeat which was crushing last season psychologically damaged
:13:57. > :14:01.this squad, but the ultimate therapy. Yes, when you take a
:14:01. > :14:04.defeat like that it's hard to deal with, but what can help us coming
:14:04. > :14:09.back and beating aside in a game you played against them in the
:14:09. > :14:14.future, so they will be feeling good about that. Help early doors?
:14:14. > :14:18.Yes, away from home, you want a good, solid start. Begovic didn't
:14:18. > :14:24.help his team up. When it first happened, we thought the referee
:14:24. > :14:28.had got it wrong but he didn't. He got it spot on. Quick thinking. The
:14:29. > :14:38.important thing is the game, when it started, you get straight into
:14:38. > :14:47.you think it's a free kick but he hasn't. It's a back pass. I'm not
:14:47. > :14:53.sure he got that right. The ball comes down. Glenn Whelan A Shanks
:14:53. > :14:58.it off his foot. What you don't do, you don't give it to him again. The
:14:58. > :15:02.referee, quick-thinking, Davies put it in the open goal and a fire as a
:15:02. > :15:07.manager, I would be having a go of the goalkeeper. Do not let go of
:15:07. > :15:12.the ball. Quick thinking by Ivan Klasnic But that should never
:15:12. > :15:17.happen. The ball gets put down. And literally, from then on, he
:15:17. > :15:22.explains to the players it was a back pass, so they got it spot on,
:15:22. > :15:28.the referee, but Begovic didn't get any better. Second goal, 23 minutes
:15:28. > :15:30.in, horrendous kick out. Didn't do a lot to get back his goal. Great
:15:30. > :15:36.thinking from Chris Eagles but I think the goalkeeper had a
:15:36. > :15:46.nightmare. He wasn't only to blame. The back four, the worst
:15:46. > :15:49.
:15:49. > :15:54.performance I have seen. Tony Pulis disappointed most - hard to pick
:15:54. > :15:58.out a Bolton player who pleased more than the others. That is your
:15:58. > :16:03.job? Klasnic had a great game. Eagles was great today. Everything
:16:04. > :16:09.he did, he did well. What a game for him! If you look at his first
:16:09. > :16:12.goal, which was fantastic. First here, he sets it off. He's outside
:16:12. > :16:18.the box. He hits the strike off. The keeper does well to get hold of
:16:18. > :16:21.that. Here, you can see him making his way forward. It's not a great
:16:21. > :16:26.clearance from Begovic. What a strike that is. That's the only
:16:26. > :16:31.place it could have gone in. A nice pass setting up a move for Bolton.
:16:31. > :16:36.Here, he wins the first header. He's not happy with that. He makes
:16:36. > :16:41.a run-in. Shows desire to make his way here. He is gambling they will
:16:41. > :16:46.get that. He's playing confidence and he'll put that goal in. A
:16:46. > :16:50.lovely little dink over the keeper. There you know he will score once
:16:50. > :16:57.the ball is bouncing like that. He has a nice sandwich under it. That
:16:57. > :17:02.is a player playing a loot of confidence. As for Stoke, the last
:17:02. > :17:07.time they played in the Europa League they lost at the weekend.
:17:07. > :17:14.You look at who they play - is it as simple as that? Pulis has tried
:17:14. > :17:19.to improve the squad because of the our rope pa league. He tried to
:17:19. > :17:24.pack that squad and get the quality. They've had four away games when
:17:24. > :17:28.they've come from from Europe. Travelling all over the place. Four
:17:28. > :17:34.away games, not easy. They are better at home. Today they were
:17:34. > :17:37.poor from the front to the back. This is your little bit of
:17:37. > :17:42.moonlighting. On a Monday morning you turn up for training after what
:17:42. > :17:46.Bolton have been through. What does that mean inside the dressing room?
:17:46. > :17:50.D They will feel confidence. A result like that can kick-start
:17:50. > :17:55.your season. That is what will happen to Bolton now. Next we head
:17:55. > :17:59.to the banks of the river Thames with the home side looking to leap-
:17:59. > :18:06.frog up the tight table and the visitors hoping for three points to
:18:07. > :18:12.pull level with Chelsea. You never know what Fulham are
:18:12. > :18:18.going to do. Sometimes they are hot, sometimes they are cold. They enter
:18:18. > :18:25.this after a league win and a victory at Wigan. Their last match
:18:25. > :18:32.saw them freeze. A 6-0 win against QPR. Four te feets in four draws,
:18:32. > :18:38.they are as changeable as the weather. Since Scoty Parker entered
:18:38. > :18:44.Spurs he has shown intersurprise. Six wins in seven is his, following
:18:44. > :18:48.his move from West Ham. Van de Vaart has six goals in five,
:18:48. > :18:58.as Harry's men go in the right direction. Over to our spaceman,
:18:58. > :19:04.captain money. With Harry Redknapp convalue
:19:04. > :19:10.lessing. Van de Vaart needs a goal today, to
:19:10. > :19:20.set a club record of scoring in six successive preemyeership games.
:19:20. > :19:35.
:19:35. > :19:45.Martin Jol was manager of Spurs for minute's silence is being observed
:19:45. > :19:57.
:19:57. > :20:01.Riise on the overlap. He's forced a corner.
:20:01. > :20:07.Fulham starting the way they left off on Thursday night.
:20:07. > :20:14.They had that impressive performance in the our rope pa
:20:14. > :20:22.league. -- Europa League.
:20:22. > :20:26.Where was the marking by Tottenham? Friedel, at the age of 40, his
:20:26. > :20:34.opposite number is 39. It makes it just on the line there. He gets his
:20:34. > :20:44.hands to it. The header was by Cydonia. That was close in Fulham -
:20:44. > :20:53.
:20:53. > :20:57.- by Sidwell in Fulham's first taken the lead.
:20:57. > :21:02.Fulham were stretched, first one side, then the other. Gareth Bale,
:21:02. > :21:06.who was signed by the Fulham manager, Martin Jol, from
:21:06. > :21:09.Southampton when Jol was at Spurs has really started things off here
:21:09. > :21:14.for Tottenham, just when Fulham appeared to have got the better of
:21:14. > :21:18.the early stages. Walker, the right-back may have
:21:18. > :21:22.made an impression to get into the England squad again.
:21:22. > :21:32.Adebayor can't get there. The move and speed of the Tottenham attack
:21:32. > :21:43.
:21:43. > :21:52.and Tottenham take the lead. Now, Lennon. Adebayor making
:21:52. > :21:56.strides in the middle, so is Bale. This is Lennon - deflected.
:21:56. > :22:00.Martin Jol took Tottenham to fifth in the Premier League, which at
:22:00. > :22:04.that time was the highest they had finished since it started. Only
:22:04. > :22:08.just missed out on the Champions League, if you remember, when the
:22:08. > :22:18.team fell ill on the last day of the season. Lennon, on the left
:22:18. > :22:24.
:22:24. > :22:28.It's Lennon for Spurs. He goes all the way. Lennon scores!
:22:28. > :22:35.Spurs go two-up. Right on 45 minutes.
:22:35. > :22:41.The switch where Lennon came across to play on the left has suddenly
:22:41. > :22:44.worked for Tottenham. They swap the wingers over during play. Lennon
:22:44. > :22:51.here picks up the ball on the left hand side, from Bale, who moved
:22:51. > :22:57.inside. Look at the way he teased Baird.
:22:57. > :23:01.It's a well-taken individual goal by Lennon, who hasn't actually
:23:02. > :23:06.scored since he got one at Hearts in a play-off early in the season,
:23:06. > :23:09.in the Europa League. He was then injured. There is a suggestion that
:23:09. > :23:19.if Lennon can come up the right wing and move across the line, he
:23:19. > :23:20.
:23:20. > :24:01.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 46 seconds
:24:01. > :24:11.can do more damage. He has made it Oh, what a trip over by Friedel.
:24:11. > :24:19.
:24:19. > :24:24.One goal and things could change Spurs' players have got their
:24:24. > :24:33.bodies in the way of Fulham shots. You wonder whether Fulham can make
:24:33. > :24:40.one of these corners pay? It's gone in.
:24:40. > :24:47.They made one this time. It seems to have gone in. Possibly off a
:24:47. > :24:54.Tottenham defender. One defender on to another there. One Tottenham
:24:54. > :25:04.heading it against another. It may be an own goal. It is. It has come
:25:04. > :25:22.
:25:22. > :25:27.I think. Kaboul and the referee has gone to his pocket. Yellow card.
:25:27. > :25:37.Well, I don't know about that - I thought it was more ball to hand
:25:37. > :25:46.
:25:46. > :25:56.good save by Friedel. Baird had a go there from a
:25:56. > :26:09.
:26:09. > :26:19.distance. angle. A corner.
:26:19. > :26:38.
:26:38. > :26:43.Dembele, around Friedel. King, what fouled here. He was pushed by
:26:43. > :26:53.Cydonia. Nothing given. Another day he -- by Sidwell. Another day he
:26:53. > :27:02.
:27:02. > :27:08.How on earth did that not go in? They are appealing now for a
:27:08. > :27:12.penalty. How many shots did they have there in the six-yard box?
:27:12. > :27:17.Everybody was having a go. Friedel, handball there. It looks like a
:27:17. > :27:22.handball. It looked like Walker who had the
:27:22. > :27:28.ball under his arms there. That's what Fulham were appealing
:27:28. > :27:38.for while that was going on. Then Dembele went down.
:27:38. > :27:39.
:27:39. > :27:44.-- then Dempsey went down. It's a corner only for Fulham.
:27:44. > :27:54.What a finish. An amazing goal.
:27:54. > :28:01.
:28:01. > :28:06.Modric on the line there stopping Dempsey. I don't think Friedel
:28:06. > :28:13.knows how that stayed out. I don't think any of us do. It came off his
:28:13. > :28:18.body. It was Dempsey and Modric on the post saved Spurs and protects
:28:18. > :28:28.the lead. They've had enough excitement for one afternoon,
:28:28. > :28:50.
:28:50. > :28:58.Schwarzer. Spurs have got it now. It went in off Kelly. Defoe with a
:28:58. > :29:07.snapshot to make it 3-1. The Spurs' fans celebrate. Last minute of the
:29:07. > :29:17.added time. Spurs get a break.
:29:17. > :29:26.Defoe will doubtless claim the goal. It's Fulham, 1, Tottenham, 3. That
:29:26. > :29:29.does not reflect what has happened STUDIO: That's eight unbeaten for
:29:29. > :29:33.Spurs. With seven wins in that run without Harry, today they did their
:29:33. > :29:40.job for the caretaker crew. A few years ago, we would not have one
:29:40. > :29:47.those games. But we dug in and showed that quality. We had to hang
:29:47. > :29:52.on in there. For a good half an hour. We were not holding the ball,
:29:52. > :29:55.not passing the ball. Not the way we did in the first have and we
:29:55. > :29:58.have been doing all season. We consider ourselves lucky to get
:29:58. > :30:04.away with the three points. Fulham's hot and cold streak
:30:04. > :30:09.continues. But big positives to be taken from their performance today.
:30:09. > :30:13.The first goal was a bit unfortunate. We had some great
:30:13. > :30:21.challenges with Steve Sidwell and can Dempsey. Replayed well in the
:30:21. > :30:25.second half, of course. We had to force the issue. -- we played well.
:30:25. > :30:32.We should have had at least a penalty or scored the goal.
:30:32. > :30:39.will be talking to Harry tonight. When will he be back at work?
:30:39. > :30:43.this gives them a good two weeks to sit down and take it day by day and

:30:49. > :30:52.moment, there's no rush. Best wishes to him, of course. This is
:30:52. > :31:00.my favourite part of Match Of The Day 2. You go to say nice things
:31:00. > :31:05.about Spurs. You have to. Seven wins and a draw. I thought
:31:05. > :31:11.especially, in the first half, they played a very good game, attacking
:31:11. > :31:15.and their movement in midfield was brilliant. Lucky in the second half.
:31:15. > :31:20.Perhaps if Fulham should have a penalty. I think it was an
:31:20. > :31:23.important victory for Tottenham to keep the momentum going. Fulham can
:31:23. > :31:29.consider themselves unlucky after the second half performance but
:31:29. > :31:33.they were bad in the first half. When they played Liverpool, Spurs
:31:33. > :31:38.were very fast out of the blocks, Jason thought up they were under
:31:38. > :31:42.the Premier League, you have to start fast and they did that.
:31:42. > :31:46.of the features of the game was Carl Walker getting forward. He
:31:46. > :31:56.shows unbelievable pace to get there. John Arne Riise thought he
:31:56. > :32:01.
:32:01. > :32:05.was getting in there. That is his go on his left foot and finish. A
:32:05. > :32:12.great bit of skill. He can hit a fantastic finish right in the
:32:12. > :32:17.corner of the net. Another feature was a him getting on the ball, as
:32:17. > :32:21.bringing the ball from right to left. Different angles. Luka Modric,
:32:21. > :32:26.he is looking up to see a people can make and have a run for him. He
:32:27. > :32:31.makes it look easy for so we see another side of his game. He takes
:32:31. > :32:37.the ball, trying to make something happen, and gets another free kick
:32:37. > :32:47.for his side. Here, he shows his defensive qualities. He has got his
:32:47. > :32:48.
:32:48. > :32:52.head up and is looking to pass it That is the positives. Is there a
:32:52. > :32:56.little bit of anecdotal evidence that they may be fading a little in
:32:56. > :33:03.the second half? The today they didn't play as well in the second
:33:03. > :33:08.half. For an increase the tempo. -- Fulham increased the tempo. Did
:33:08. > :33:18.they step up too much? They dropped off in midfield a little bit.
:33:18. > :33:20.
:33:20. > :33:27.loads of space, on his right foot, they have got to drop off,
:33:27. > :33:33.Tottenham. Ledley King drops off. Suddenly, a dangerous position. He
:33:33. > :33:40.plays it back. Gets a shot on goal. A space in midfield. Looker much
:33:40. > :33:48.time John Arne Riise gets. Sets it up on his left foot. Luka Modric
:33:48. > :33:53.has got to close it down, get tighter. They can pick any line he
:33:53. > :34:01.wants. Dempsey through the middle. Spurs torn apart on what occasion
:34:01. > :34:07.and should have scored. Parker and Sandro doing the same job for the
:34:07. > :34:12.Dempsey in the middle. Luka Modric has got to help out and it leaves a
:34:12. > :34:18.big hole on the right and this is too easy. Look how much space he
:34:18. > :34:24.has got. He doesn't get close down. Too easy. Not enough pressure and
:34:24. > :34:30.then, right at the end, this is the penalty I was talking about. He
:34:30. > :34:36.scrambles, a handball. 2-1. The ball is cleared eventually. Parker
:34:36. > :34:41.puts a flying block on and then Luka Modric. This is what Brad
:34:41. > :34:51.Friedel thinks about it. He knows he got away with it. Overall,
:34:51. > :34:59.A Jason, you played against them. Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, man City,
:34:59. > :35:04.how serious should be be taking Spurs this season? Very seriously.
:35:04. > :35:09.Kyle Walker gives them another dimension. For me, Luka Modric is
:35:09. > :35:18.the best in the country. They are title contenders. Both played in
:35:18. > :35:23.Europe. It just shows different in the squad. You look lovely in HD,
:35:23. > :35:27.by the way. I wish I could say the same about you. Whatever. Goal of
:35:27. > :35:30.the Month still to come. But these two teams would be happy never to
:35:30. > :35:33.hear the word October again. Wolves picked up just one point. Wigan
:35:33. > :35:41.didn't get any. And the less said about September the better. So
:35:41. > :35:43.today's game, put simply, was massive. Even at this early stage,
:35:43. > :35:46.Wolves and Wigan enter this desperate for points, with managers
:35:46. > :35:51.Mick McCarthy and Roberto Martinez dreaming of a win to ease the
:35:51. > :35:54.pressure. At the end of last season, these two survived on the last day.
:35:55. > :35:58.But it could be a worse scenario when they meet again on the final
:35:58. > :36:05.day in May. And that's because they just can't buy a win. Mick's men
:36:05. > :36:08.have lost six out of their last seven. Wigan's record is worse.
:36:08. > :36:18.They have lost seven on the trot with their solitary success coming
:36:18. > :36:27.
:36:27. > :36:37.on August 27th. So who dares wins side. Gary Caldwell suspended. A
:36:37. > :36:53.
:36:53. > :36:57.Squeezed away by a Al-Habsi. So often injury-hit, returning to the
:36:57. > :37:06.side of late. The first appeared on the goal in the game was a worthy
:37:06. > :37:16.one, two. Best corner of the game at the far post. Headed away by
:37:16. > :37:20.Hugo Rodallega. Giving a headache for his pains. 16 goals conceded by
:37:20. > :37:25.Wolves in their last seven games. Here is a chance for Stephen Hunt
:37:25. > :37:31.at the other end. The goalkeeper put that back in the middle. East
:37:31. > :37:36.away by Watson. Had he gone down, he would have got a penalty. Well,
:37:36. > :37:44.I think Stephen Hunt treads on the goalkeeper and goes beyond him, and
:37:44. > :37:49.I think the referee got that right. Johnson with the header down and he
:37:49. > :37:55.is claiming a hand ball. The referee was well placed. He would
:37:55. > :38:05.have been blind side to that and needed his assistant to flag. Well,
:38:05. > :38:12.
:38:13. > :38:22.hand came down on the ball, but I Johnson again. Had it not been for
:38:23. > :38:27.
:38:27. > :38:37.him, Wolves would have been in real man whose goals kept Wigan out last
:38:37. > :38:37.
:38:37. > :38:47.season simply cannot get one this miss. It will come back to haunt
:38:47. > :38:58.
:38:58. > :39:01.for Wolverhampton Wanderers by Jamie O'Hara, moments after Wigan
:39:01. > :39:11.miss a gilt-edged opportunity and Wolves had the lead after 31
:39:11. > :39:13.
:39:13. > :39:21.minutes. The game of football so often can twist on a hit or miss.
:39:21. > :39:24.There was a miss. There is a hit and Wolves lead. O'Hara finished
:39:24. > :39:34.sweetly but the defender was beaten too easily by the ball in the air
:39:34. > :39:45.
:39:46. > :39:51.across. WHISTLE BLOWS It's a penalty kick.
:39:51. > :40:01.Foul lot by Stephen Hunter. It was an enterprising run. Head down.
:40:01. > :40:10.
:40:10. > :40:18.penalty. Watson will take the spot kick before half-time to level it.
:40:18. > :40:24.A big moment. Hennessy blocks. Watson, from the rebound, 1-1. It
:40:24. > :40:34.was a wretched a wretched penalty. But, in the end, Hennessy was built
:40:34. > :40:51.
:40:51. > :40:59.in and Watson was relieved. Awful support. A little bit hesitant
:40:59. > :41:09.initially. Momentum is slow. Wigan defended well. Henry. From the
:41:09. > :41:22.
:41:22. > :41:32.charge. Henry. Splendid keep it out. Terrific run here by
:41:32. > :41:34.
:41:34. > :41:40.Henry. Saw the gap, went for it. Good initial save from hunt.
:41:40. > :41:45.Brilliant for Al-Habsi. Was it over the line? Edwards made sure anyway.
:41:45. > :41:51.Edwards credited with the goal in the ground and he certainly lashed
:41:51. > :41:58.it in. Let's see if it was over the line? No, it wasn't. Edwards's goal
:41:58. > :42:08.10 minutes into the second half. Wolves's lead is restored. Johnson.
:42:08. > :42:28.
:42:28. > :42:32.overlap now. Here is Jarvis. wanders a two-goal cushion. -- Ward
:42:32. > :42:39.gives Wolverhampton Wanderers a two-goal cushion and once again,
:42:39. > :42:43.the good work of the goalkeeper Al- Habsi means nothing. Jarvis got to
:42:44. > :42:53.the byline too easily. Pushed back into the danger area via a
:42:54. > :43:12.
:43:12. > :43:20.deflection. Wolverhampton Wanderers, around him seems to have caused him
:43:20. > :43:29.problems. How Kenny complain about the free kick being given? It was
:43:29. > :43:36.his second bite. We Johnson has gone for it. A brilliant save! He
:43:36. > :43:44.has had such a good game. Cruel fortune has dogged him today. He
:43:44. > :43:54.deserved to see that one fly over. Brilliant reactions. So bringing
:43:54. > :43:55.
:43:55. > :44:05.athleticism. -- springing athleticism. Albert Crusat. On his
:44:05. > :44:15.
:44:15. > :44:25.interesting. Help is on its way. Moses with the corner kick. Edwards
:44:25. > :44:25.
:44:25. > :44:29.had a good shout and left it. Tempers begin to rise. Gohouri in
:44:29. > :44:36.the thick of things. Why all the pushing and shoving? Somebody needs
:44:36. > :44:46.to calm him down. He seemed to spit their and that is what enraged the
:44:46. > :44:56.
:44:56. > :45:00.was. It has come to Crusat. Moses is screaming for it.
:45:00. > :45:06.It's Diame. Ripples the side of the side
:45:06. > :45:13.netting only. Wigan will look back on this game
:45:13. > :45:18.and know they missed big opportunities when they come.
:45:18. > :45:27.Wolves stopped the rot to win for the first time since August 21. As
:45:27. > :45:31.for Wigan, it is now eight defeats on the trot with Roberto's boys at
:45:31. > :45:37.rock-bottom. No better time than today, against somebody who looks
:45:37. > :45:42.like being one of our rivals down at the bottom of the table. A huge
:45:42. > :45:49.win. Really valuable. Much needed. Today you feel really down because
:45:49. > :45:53.it was a game we had high hopes. We started well enough. Unfortunately
:45:53. > :45:58.we conceded three goals. We've got another opportunity, an
:45:58. > :46:05.international break. I want to make sure we are as good as we can be
:46:05. > :46:09.for our next game. It got hot under the collar. What did your players
:46:09. > :46:13.say? Generally no idea what it was about. Come on, the game, it should
:46:13. > :46:17.have been hot under the collar, shouldn't it from the start? We are
:46:17. > :46:27.fourth bottom. They are at the bottom. Needed points. Desperate
:46:27. > :46:37.
:46:37. > :46:47.Wigan cannot take a chance. They get this after 30 minutes. What a
:46:47. > :46:50.
:46:50. > :46:58.miss. 35 seconds later Wolves go from the
:46:58. > :47:05.other end. Doyle does better with his second touch. Pressure on Wigan.
:47:05. > :47:10.Fabulous save. This is a better one. Al Habsi, but no luck. 2-0.
:47:10. > :47:19.The trouble with Wigan is they cannot score any goals. They had
:47:19. > :47:23.enough chances in the game. The pressure is on them. A chance here.
:47:23. > :47:29.Rodallega, fluffs his lines. Unbelievable. That is what Martinez
:47:29. > :47:32.thinks. Believe it or not, Mick McCarthy is happy here. He gets the
:47:32. > :47:37.win. It is massive because Wigan have a string of results where they
:47:37. > :47:44.have games where they have got to pick points up and they cannot
:47:44. > :47:49.score goals. Played all right today. I have a moral question for you.
:47:49. > :47:55.This is Stephen Hunt. This is him with the wind this his sails. Got
:47:55. > :47:58.through into the box. He's very honest. Applause that. He went down.
:47:58. > :48:02.There's enough contact for him to go down. If he stays down, I think
:48:02. > :48:08.it is a penalty. For me, the answer is yes. I am staying down. Would
:48:08. > :48:12.you go down? I am staying down after that one. He gives the
:48:12. > :48:16.penalty away. Ironically. That is a foul. If he had gone down the
:48:16. > :48:20.referee would have looked at it and said there is contact. The
:48:20. > :48:24.goalkeeper tried to pull his arms away. If he goes down it is a
:48:25. > :48:30.penalty. He would have gone down if he had not gone anywhere near him.
:48:30. > :48:37.I would still be down now! You said the deflected goal you would
:48:37. > :48:40.celebrate that as well. Badly deflected is OK? I would be kissing
:48:40. > :48:44.the shirt. Now we have to highlight this, because it happened in the
:48:44. > :48:54.game. Some of the players were really angry at the spiting
:48:54. > :48:56.
:48:56. > :48:59.incident. Berra with Alcaraz. There is a spit from Alcaraz there. It
:48:59. > :49:04.hits Stearman. There's nothing worse than spiting. It is the worse
:49:04. > :49:08.thing you can do on a football pitch. Has id happened to you?
:49:08. > :49:15.I cannot remember his name. Centre- back. I had a foul. He was standing
:49:15. > :49:21.over me as hi stood up. I looked up at his face. He was six foot four.
:49:21. > :49:25.He cleared his throat and spat right in my eyes.
:49:25. > :49:31.Red mist came down. I was swinging, I could not get near to him.
:49:31. > :49:35.Horrible thing to do. Horrible. time back to football and countdown
:49:35. > :49:45.eight of the best in our goal of the month. Jason will pick his
:49:45. > :49:59.
:49:59. > :50:09.favourite. More importantly it is gone past Johnson. He scored a
:50:09. > :50:09.
:50:09. > :51:05.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 46 seconds
:51:05. > :51:15.brilliant goal! D Drenthe - what a goal! What a
:51:15. > :51:15.
:51:15. > :52:38.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 46 seconds
:52:39. > :52:46.That's delightful! It couldn't be easier for you, all
:52:46. > :52:56.this pressure. Open goal. easiest one. Goal of The Month?
:52:56. > :53:06.Ruiz. What? Are you surprised? choice.
:53:06. > :53:06.
:53:07. > :53:12.This reminds me of one George Best. They were all good goals this month.
:53:13. > :53:20.Gareth Bale was the best by one million miles! You may or may not
:53:20. > :53:28.have heard that Sir Ferguson has been celebrating 25 years.
:53:28. > :53:38.Highlights of the latest game, but a journey back to the days before
:53:38. > :54:09.
:54:09. > :54:17.Can you please welcome Sir Alex Ferguson.
:54:17. > :54:23.I am delighted to say that today the North Stand is to be renamed
:54:23. > :54:33.the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand. Thank you for this wonderful, proud
:54:33. > :54:48.
:54:48. > :54:54.moment. Thank you! It's gone in!
:54:54. > :55:01.Manchester United lead. I think it went in off the defender.
:55:01. > :55:11.It's Wes Brown against his former club.
:55:11. > :55:30.
:55:30. > :55:34.penalty. The decision is overturned.
:55:34. > :55:39.Manchester United can breathe a sigh of relief.
:55:39. > :55:46.He thought it was a United arm. That is why he had the penalty. He
:55:46. > :55:53.had a chat with him and it was rightly overturned.
:55:54. > :56:02.How about that for a stop!? What a double save. The first is at
:56:02. > :56:08.him. Rooney hits it. The second is a magnificent reaction stop. I feel
:56:08. > :56:12.honoured and emotional. When I saw my name in that stand. Was it a
:56:12. > :56:22.bombshell for you? Did you know about it? I did not know anything
:56:22. > :56:39.
:56:39. > :56:46.D We have got Fergy's first 11. easy. He picks himself smichael.
:56:47. > :56:51.Gary Neville. Vidic. I come from the school of
:56:51. > :56:57.Adams, so Vidic, left a couple of centre-backs out. Obviously well
:56:57. > :57:05.known. Erwin. A legend. I don't think you
:57:05. > :57:11.can leave this guy out as well, Mr Manchester United in the middle,
:57:11. > :57:17.Scholes. He can do anything. You've got to have a bit of tackling
:57:17. > :57:27.ability, the way he tackles. Can't leave him out. Mr Manchester United
:57:27. > :57:33.
:57:33. > :57:41.on the left. You cannot leave the great man out - Cantona along side
:57:41. > :57:51.R -- Ronaldo. We put together a second 11 if they
:57:51. > :57:53.
:57:53. > :57:57.were to play a training match in a Ferdinand has to be pushing to get
:57:57. > :58:05.in there and Rooney. I would have stuck him out on the left there. He
:58:05. > :58:09.would have made his way in, maybe pushing Rooney out -- Ronaldo out
:58:09. > :58:15.on the right. Talking of teams, the England squad
:58:15. > :58:22.for the looming friendlies has been announced. John Terry confirmed
:58:22. > :58:31.Rodwell and Steridge get called up. If you spent your Saturday nights
:58:31. > :58:38.away from the sofa, we'll look after you. We start at Loftus Road.
:58:38. > :58:42.Man City stay top of the table. QPR made them work for it in a cracker.
:58:42. > :58:48.They were fortunate to win a free kick in this challenge with
:58:48. > :58:49.Bothroyd. There was no disputing Bothroyd. There was no disputing
:58:49. > :58:59.Bothroyd. There was no disputing what followed.

:59:17. > :59:27.Inside he's done ever so well. It is a brilliant goal.

:05:09. > :05:16.wasn't Blackburn's day. Yakubu turning black -- back past Terry. A
:05:16. > :05:21.Blackburn corner. Against the bar. So lucky that did not going. It is
:05:21. > :05:28.a day to forget for Fernando. is Fernando Torres. Dear me. It
:05:28. > :05:34.Jason, you spent almost every day with Steve King. Give me an insight
:05:34. > :05:38.into the man himself. The he's positive, confident. On TV, people
:05:38. > :05:44.think it's something he is putting on, but he's like that every single
:05:44. > :05:48.day and he believes we can turn things around. What I want to work
:05:48. > :05:52.out is, when the demonstrations are going on after the game and you go
:05:52. > :06:02.in the dressing room, it's embarrassing for the players to
:06:02. > :06:04.
:06:04. > :06:09.hear the fans outside saying Kean Out. Is that hard? If we are
:06:09. > :06:12.winning, it's hard. Football is a result business. If you are winning
:06:12. > :06:17.games, everything seems OK and we want to get back to doing that as
:06:17. > :06:19.soon as possible. It's such a bleak situation at the moment because the
:06:19. > :06:23.circle of that ball from the boardroom to the management into
:06:23. > :06:27.the dressing room, back to the supporters, and the boardroom,
:06:27. > :06:32.there's no harmony at all. It's one of these things people may have
:06:32. > :06:37.gripes, but the only way to move forward is together. The fans, the
:06:37. > :06:43.management, the players. It will come from winning games. What would
:06:44. > :06:48.you say to Blackburn fans watching tonight? In terms of the fixtures
:06:48. > :06:53.you're capable of winning? I would say, look at the performances,
:06:53. > :06:58.aside to want to do well, who are playing for the manager, the club.
:06:58. > :07:01.Hopefully we can turn it around. We haven't had a lot of luck but we
:07:01. > :07:08.are remaining positive, training hard, and we hope to put it right
:07:08. > :07:11.as soon as possible. This season, you haven't been smashed out. You
:07:12. > :07:16.have played teams and there has been a lot of big results this
:07:16. > :07:22.season, but Blackburn are losing by the odd goal. Performances are not
:07:22. > :07:28.far off. That's the frustrating thing. We are playing well. Luck
:07:28. > :07:32.has not gone for us. We must two penalties against Everton. We had
:07:32. > :07:36.10 minutes to close the game at against Norwich. The Chelsea game,
:07:36. > :07:45.we could easily have won. Football can be like that at times. At the
:07:45. > :07:52.moment, it's not happening for us. How optimistic are you a Blackburn
:07:52. > :07:55.staying in the Premier League? positive. We went to the last game
:07:55. > :08:04.last season to do it, and by more positive now we will stay in the
:08:04. > :08:14.league. OK, many thanks, gents. Nearly finished. I hope you enjoyed
:08:14. > :08:14.
:08:14. > :08:18.the last 70 minutes or so. Here's a Stoke come unstuck. Spurs stun
:08:18. > :08:28.Fulham in a Craven Cottage cracker. And Wolves find their bite as
:08:28. > :08:29.
:08:29. > :08:33.victories for the top five to stay level on points with Chelsea. The
:08:33. > :08:37.Manchester clubs still lead the way, but Arsenal move neck and neck with
:08:37. > :08:40.Liverpool. Wolves' first victory since August moves them up four
:08:40. > :08:43.places. But it's another grim day for Wigan who are looking
:08:43. > :08:51.increasingly forlorn at the bottom. Bolton's big win sees them take a
:08:51. > :08:54.small step forward as they go above Sorry, Jason. So, thanks all from
:08:54. > :08:57.Match Of The Day 2, on a weekend when we're not sure whether actions
:08:57. > :09:07.spoke louder than words, or words spoke louder than actions.
:09:07. > :09:20.
:09:20. > :09:27.# How can I find a way to make QC I love you?
:09:27. > :09:36.# Words don't come easy. # It's a simple song I have made
