:01:16. > :01:24.COMMENTATOR: It's going to be a long, hard season for Ian Holloway
:01:24. > :01:27.and Crystal Palace. A dagger right through the heart of Martin Jol.
:01:27. > :01:38.He's in a lonely place at the moment.
:01:38. > :01:42.Mourinho prowls and scowls. Hello there, just six weeks in and the
:01:42. > :01:45.fresh-faced optimism of early season is but a distant memory for most
:01:45. > :01:49.Premier League managers. Joining us tonight a man who knows exactly how
:01:49. > :01:54.they feel, the first ever England manager to appear live on Match of
:01:54. > :01:57.the Day, Roy Hodgson, he's alongside former England skipper, Alan
:01:57. > :01:59.Shearer. A number of Roy's players are in action in the six games we
:01:59. > :02:28.have for you. We begin with two teams who would
:02:28. > :02:31.have expected much better starts to the Premier League season.
:02:31. > :02:37.Sunderland were bottom and Manchester United were in the bottom
:02:37. > :02:43.half. On his bottom at the Stadium of Light is Guy Mowbray.
:02:43. > :02:48.24 previous Premier League meetings, only one Sunderland win, way back
:02:48. > :02:53.then in 1997 Kevin Ball led the side as captain, now he picks it as
:02:53. > :03:06.interim head coach. He's made a couple of changes:
:03:06. > :03:42.Four of the England squad start for Manchester United.
:03:42. > :03:51.That's not clear, that's in! Lashed in for 1-0 Sunderland,
:03:51. > :03:54.four-and-a-half minutes into the game. Manchester United all over the
:03:54. > :04:03.place at the boo being. -- all over the place at the back.
:04:03. > :04:07.Great work from Jacarini. The clearance from Jones straight to
:04:07. > :04:13.the United captain. He got himself in a right old mess.
:04:13. > :04:32.Really well finished by Gardner. What a start.
:04:32. > :04:37.Gardner was waiting. He couldn't make his mind up and he lost the
:04:37. > :04:39.chance. It might prove to be a really big
:04:39. > :05:09.moment. finish on the volley. He'll think
:05:09. > :05:57.that he had to hit the target. You wouldn't believe you're watching
:05:57. > :05:58.a team rooted to the bottom of the table here, the way Sunderland are
:05:58. > :06:03.going about their business. That's a superb save from Heywood.
:06:03. > :06:25.-- DeGea. Kevin Ball has the dry-mouth
:06:25. > :06:38.syndrome that all managers are familiar with.
:06:38. > :06:46.Oh, they were in each others' way. You have to wonder whether all these
:06:46. > :06:50.chances that Sunderland are creating, but not able to convert
:06:50. > :07:16.might come back to bite them before the end.
:07:16. > :07:22.He got into the penalty area and went tumbling. He's going to get a
:07:22. > :07:26.yellow card for tumbling too easily. The young man seems a little shocked
:07:26. > :07:30.by that. He does have such good balance.
:07:30. > :07:35.by that. Until then. I think the referee has
:07:35. > :07:42.got it right. Bumped, yes, but not barged enough for that to happen.
:07:42. > :07:46.The finger has been pointed at Ashley Young already this season and
:07:46. > :07:50.David Moyes said he didn't approve. I don't think he approves of a
:07:50. > :08:00.yellow card being shown on this occasion.
:08:00. > :08:08.Januzaj! Nicely put in. Adnan Januzaj's first start and his first
:08:08. > :08:14.goal. A really, really important goal it could be too.
:08:14. > :08:24.He strode confidently onto it. Dispatched beautifully.
:08:24. > :08:48.18 years old, the future of Manchester United.
:08:48. > :09:02.Evra didn't even look. He knew the right place to put the ball into.
:09:02. > :09:08.Januzaj! He's done it again. It's an even better goal this time! What a
:09:08. > :09:15.special player Manchester United have. Two really special goals. This
:09:15. > :09:35.is magnificent. Straight onto his boot. Look at that
:09:35. > :09:41.for a study in concentration and skill. A turn around at the Stadium
:09:41. > :09:43.of Light, a teenage turn around. A long way back for Sunderland even
:09:43. > :10:07.of Light, a teenage turn around. with just the one goal in it.
:10:07. > :10:29.Wayne Rooney has stopped again and in fact, he's down to his knees.
:10:29. > :10:34.Oh, dear. Oh, dear. We don't want to raise the alarm
:10:34. > :10:38.just yet, do we? If you are an England fan of any sort of
:10:38. > :10:41.persuasion, I'm sure you must be think, "Run it off, Wayne." He looks
:10:41. > :10:57.to be moving OK again. Van Persie has missed the target.
:10:57. > :11:19.That's a collector's item. That had 3-1 written all over it.
:11:19. > :11:30.Westwood has gone forward too. Full attack mode Sunderland now.
:11:31. > :11:33.Everybody shouts handball. That seems to be the rule now, you've got
:11:33. > :11:50.to at least shout. That was as far from his hand as you
:11:50. > :11:54.could possibly get. Brave effort Sunderland. I'm not going to get too
:11:54. > :12:00.excited because we've won the game. Every result is hard to come by. At
:12:00. > :12:03.the moment we needed it. I wasn't getting too low as much as people
:12:03. > :12:08.were making it out to be. But hopefully we can pick that form up.
:12:08. > :12:12.Whoa played much better. Better intensity, faster. I thought it was
:12:12. > :12:16.more exciting an I enjoyed it. We know a bit about him. You know a lot
:12:16. > :12:20.about him, how good can Adnan Januzaj be? I don't want to put too
:12:20. > :12:26.much on his shoulders, but he's at the right place. He's going to learn
:12:26. > :12:30.a lot from the players, the club, the manager. He's got a great chance
:12:30. > :12:33.if he keeps doing the right things. Since he's come back preseason he's
:12:33. > :12:37.gone up a level and everyone's noticed that. What do you do now,
:12:37. > :12:42.two weeks now? I promised myself I would have a glass of Riocca
:12:42. > :12:48.tonight, that's what I'll probably do. I will speak to the powers that
:12:48. > :12:52.be and find out how to take things forward. Once I know, you'll know.
:12:52. > :12:56.You must be pleased that the players are giving such a response. This is
:12:57. > :13:00.fantastic. But it's the minimum they should give for yourselves. --
:13:00. > :13:04.themselves. Do you think you should have the chance? Guy! I'm a
:13:04. > :13:08.disappointed man at this moment. We'll wait and see. I think he's
:13:08. > :13:12.properly overly confident. Six of your players were on show in that
:13:12. > :13:18.game, all for Manchester United. All came through unscathed, Rooney, no
:13:18. > :13:21.phone calls? No phone calls. Excellent news. It's a boost for you
:13:21. > :13:23.when you have players like that, they've had a tricky start to the
:13:23. > :13:25.season, Manchester United, it's a boost for you that the get a win so
:13:25. > :13:29.season, Manchester United, it's a it helps their confidence. I think
:13:29. > :13:33.so. It's always good to come into the international week on the back
:13:33. > :13:36.of a good result and a good perm formance. -- Performance. I was
:13:36. > :13:39.particularly pleased with Manchester United in the second half. They
:13:39. > :13:43.played really well. As David said, with the right intensity, that we'll
:13:43. > :13:49.be looking to see from them when we play on Friday. It was a result they
:13:49. > :13:53.needed. Sunderland were excellent in the first half, played really well.
:13:53. > :13:57.United, the few problems, defensively in particularly, all at
:13:57. > :14:01.sea at times. Big improvement from Sunderland. I was quite impressed
:14:01. > :14:04.with them. I don't want to take anything away from them. Manchester
:14:04. > :14:10.United started off on the first 45 minutes so poor. They were second
:14:10. > :14:13.best at everything. Second balls, they didn't pick one up. This summed
:14:13. > :14:18.them up. After four, five minutes, the goal here. Evra should do
:14:18. > :14:24.better. The ball comes in, Jones the goal here. Evra should do
:14:24. > :14:29.should clear it. Vidic should clear it better. It's a very good finish
:14:29. > :14:33.from Gardner. Jones gets caught on the ball. And Gardner should pick a
:14:33. > :14:37.pass out here now. Instead of taking an extra touch. Either that pass
:14:37. > :14:42.there or that pass there. He does neither. Jones does well to get back
:14:42. > :14:49.after his original mistake. Poor pass from Rooney. United look shaky
:14:49. > :14:55.at the back. They look nervous. Ball back into DeGea and he slices hills
:14:55. > :14:59.clearance. Sunderland got men around the ball. They didn't give them any
:14:59. > :15:03.time. There's four men around Evra. He's not going anywhere. They did
:15:03. > :15:08.that for 45 minutes. United had the ball in a decent area. There's one
:15:08. > :15:12.person in the box there, Van Persie, that happened first off and they
:15:12. > :15:15.must have got a right telling off from David Moyes. They lose the
:15:15. > :15:25.ball, but look at the intensity to win it being back. I mentioned one
:15:25. > :15:31.person in the box. Look at the difference. You have four guys
:15:31. > :15:37.attracted that ball to Evra. You have Ki, who doesn't pick up Januzaj
:15:37. > :15:41.at all, there is space in the middle. They have four players in
:15:41. > :15:45.there and that is a fantastic finish and United were much better second
:15:45. > :15:49.half and probably deserved the victory. Januzaj, all the talk will
:15:49. > :15:56.be about him, and astonishingly good performance. He -- it is probably
:15:56. > :16:00.passed his bedtime. I hope he has been allowed to stay up to watch. We
:16:00. > :16:04.have to look at this game. The technique, not only to get it on
:16:04. > :16:10.target but to keep it down. Just watch when we show the close-up. It
:16:10. > :16:14.is absolutely brilliant technique and to get that in, look at him, I
:16:14. > :16:20.is on the ball, ball down, it is brilliant, a worthy winning goal. A
:16:20. > :16:24.great goal. There is a possibility he could classify for England, we
:16:24. > :16:28.thought it was Belgian and he could play for about four or five
:16:28. > :16:33.countries, one of which could beat England, down the line. Down the
:16:33. > :16:36.line, if he becomes nationalised or a home-grown product. He has been
:16:36. > :16:42.with United for a long period of time. That discussion will have to
:16:42. > :16:44.be seriously debated, I think, before we start nationalising
:16:44. > :16:51.players. There is no doubt he is a real talent and we have our eyes on
:16:51. > :16:55.him but a lot will have to be discussed. It also depends on how
:16:55. > :16:59.well England do over the next two and a half or three years. To make
:16:59. > :17:04.the decision. If he has a number of countries after him, then his desire
:17:04. > :17:08.is going to be to want to play international football. That is
:17:08. > :17:13.true. After defeats against Aston Villa and Bayern Munich the heat was
:17:13. > :17:16.on the other half of Manchester. City entertained in Everton side who
:17:16. > :17:17.maintained their unbeaten Premier League record with Monday's win
:17:17. > :17:31.against Newcastle. He couldn't keep it out. He wheeled
:17:31. > :17:32.away and slides on his needs to celebrate. Lukaku could be there.
:17:32. > :17:43.Lukaku! Easy does it. He is moving in the air, he has
:17:43. > :17:51.beaten Howard and it is a super goal. Loic Remy, Remy has got a goal
:17:51. > :17:56.back. It is Everton three, Newcastle United two. At the Etihad Stadium
:17:56. > :18:01.was Steve Wilson. Four wins in the last six meetings
:18:01. > :18:05.here, nine in the last 12 meetings home and away. You would be forgiven
:18:05. > :18:09.for assuming that is Manchester City's record against Everton.
:18:09. > :18:13.Actually, it is Everton against Manchester City. The history of this
:18:13. > :18:18.fixture is the least of Joe Hart's worries. Having conceded six goals
:18:18. > :18:23.in two games for the first time in eight years, England's goalkeeper
:18:23. > :18:27.starts but Hart is one of only five survivors from the hammering by
:18:27. > :18:33.Bayern Munich. In comes the dollar -- Zabaleta, Lescott, David Silva
:18:33. > :18:37.and Negredo. Gareth Barry is on loan at Everton from city so he can't
:18:37. > :18:40.play. James McCarthy moves to the defensive midfield position and
:18:40. > :18:41.Steven Naismith, who scored Everton's winner against Chelsea,
:18:41. > :18:54.comes in. Jonathan Moss is the referee and it
:18:54. > :18:57.is unbeaten Everton from right-to-left in the 45 minutes
:18:57. > :19:06.against Manchester City side who have lost their last two.
:19:06. > :19:15.Had to be very strong in the first 20 seconds of the game to prevent
:19:15. > :19:16.Lukaku, definitely on side and Joe Hart was indebted to Joleon Lescott
:19:16. > :19:36.there. A touch on Osman has brought the
:19:36. > :19:44.free kick on Sergio Aguero, who had turned away from Distin and Osman
:19:44. > :19:45.just caught him. This is Kolarov against a five-man Everton wall and
:19:45. > :19:56.Tim Howard. Side netted. When they sought Tim Howard's towel
:19:56. > :19:57.ruffling, there were quite a few fans inside the ground who thought
:19:57. > :20:01.that was in. A free kick, Aguero is not
:20:01. > :20:17.convinced. Good recovery. Everton have nearly
:20:17. > :20:21.caught Manchester City on the counter. It happened in the first 20
:20:21. > :20:25.seconds of the game and it nearly happened again here. Fernandinho's
:20:25. > :20:31.intervention almost turned into a pass for Lukaku. Joe Hart was
:20:31. > :20:35.scrambling. I don't know if it is the early start, but there are quite
:20:35. > :20:37.a few empty seats inside the -- there are quite a few empty seats
:20:37. > :20:49.inside the Etihad at the moment. Joe Hart gets a hand to it but it is
:20:49. > :20:51.not enough and Everton are in front! Lukaku scores. That match
:20:51. > :21:20.almost perhaps inevitable. Joe Hart will be disappointed, not
:21:20. > :21:24.for the first time this week. Manchester City, who have lost three
:21:24. > :21:30.games on the run for three years, have lost their last two and they
:21:30. > :21:37.are behind again. Joe Hart is under the spotlight again. There is no
:21:37. > :21:37.hiding place at the moment for Manchester City's England
:21:37. > :21:51.goalkeeper. Negredo, 1-1. Just what Manchester
:21:51. > :21:57.City needed, and instant response from Negredo. There is an old cliche
:21:57. > :22:12.that you're never more vulnerable than when you have just scored.
:22:12. > :22:17.Yaya Toure was the creator of this. Negredo the finisher. It is one
:22:17. > :22:33.each. Morale is long ran a long way to
:22:33. > :22:38.make that challenge and he might have been better off leaving it to
:22:38. > :22:43.the defenders. -- morale is. If you have a Brazilian in your side, you
:22:43. > :22:48.might as well let him take the free kick. It is wide! Aguero has missed
:22:48. > :22:52.it, a brilliant free kick. It obviously works a treat on the
:22:52. > :22:58.training ground and it should have worked a treat again, but Aguero put
:22:58. > :23:03.it wide. Manchester City should be in front. Six minutes to go until
:23:03. > :23:23.half-time. A big chance, a big, big chance. To
:23:23. > :23:37.miss the chance is one thing, to miss the ball is something else.
:23:37. > :23:48.Everton are saying that Nastasic pushed him. It looked suspicious. It
:23:48. > :23:53.is a lovely ball in. Nastasic there have lent his left arm into the back
:23:53. > :24:03.of Lukaku and took a risk in doing that.
:24:03. > :24:11.Negredo and Coleman together and Negredo has reacted rather it
:24:11. > :24:15.angrily to Seamus Coleman. There is a bit of rotting going on between
:24:15. > :24:22.the two of them. The game is going on as well.
:24:22. > :24:32.Aguero scores! Right at the end of the half, Sergio Aguero puts
:24:32. > :24:38.Manchester City in front. With the hardest of the three opportunities
:24:38. > :24:48.he has had. Everton behind with seconds left in the half.
:24:48. > :24:55.It is a really good finish, so much pace on the shot that Tim Howard was
:24:55. > :25:17.beaten. Manchester City two, Everton one.
:25:17. > :25:22.The challenge from James Milner and the referee puts his whistle to his
:25:22. > :25:29.lips, I think to end the half blood James McCarthy is down here. It is a
:25:29. > :25:31.very strong challenge. Jonathan Moss has given James Milner a yellow card
:25:31. > :25:33.and you just wonder whether Milner has given James Milner a yellow card
:25:33. > :25:55.hasn't slightly got away with that. Mirallas, his first touch just let
:25:55. > :25:59.him down. A lovely ball by Barkley, very close to being offside but he
:25:59. > :26:05.might just have been level with Nastasic. Joe Hart had to advance
:26:05. > :26:13.very quickly. Halfway through the second half.
:26:13. > :26:19.Coleman on Zabaleta, penalty Manchester City. Well, he protests,
:26:19. > :26:25.Seamus Coleman, but Jonathan Moss had no doubt at all. He pointed to
:26:25. > :26:30.the spot almost before the Argentine had hit the floor. Zabaleta went
:26:30. > :26:35.down easily. But Coleman did use his left arm. Well, you would say about
:26:35. > :26:38.down easily. But Coleman did use his the Manchester City penalty is that
:26:38. > :26:41.in the replay looks like less of a foul than the Nastasic shove on
:26:41. > :26:50.Lukaku in the first half. Just, just, 3-1. Unlucky Tim Howard.
:26:50. > :27:10.A big job on now for Everton. If you wanted to split hairs, you
:27:10. > :27:16.might say that is a Howard own goal. 3-1. The last unbeaten
:27:16. > :27:26.Barclays Premier League record is about to go.
:27:26. > :27:41.Samir Nasri, well played, Tim Howard. This would have put the seal
:27:41. > :27:49.on it for Manchester City and would have been a very flattering fourth.
:27:49. > :27:58.We really need the victory because we are starting the game, fourth
:27:58. > :28:01.points down, so it is an important amount of points and it was
:28:01. > :28:07.important to continue winning here at home. The penalty that was
:28:07. > :28:10.awarded, Jonathan Moss needs to watch it again and understand why he
:28:10. > :28:14.gave a penalty. If you are going to give a penalty for that, it will
:28:14. > :28:17.make the game really difficult. You are looking at if you want to give
:28:17. > :28:25.the same sort of level for any type of incident you are going to get in
:28:25. > :28:31.the box, Lukaku's incident is more of a penalty. If I revise on the
:28:31. > :28:35.match, I don't remember that they had an important chance to score a
:28:35. > :28:39.goal so I don't think it was difference today was the penalty. We
:28:39. > :28:43.will talk about those incidents very shortly. All the talk this week has
:28:43. > :28:47.been about Joe Hart. You have had to deal with a lot of it, Roy. You have
:28:47. > :28:52.given him your backing. The first goal, people said was he at fault
:28:52. > :28:57.for that? I think it was very harsh to say he was at fault for that one.
:28:57. > :29:00.I don't think he has been helped by his defenders in this instance,
:29:00. > :29:04.particularly Lescott. While Lescott is trying to play at offside here,
:29:04. > :29:09.with Jackie Elko has time and space to pick up his head, to pick up the
:29:09. > :29:15.pass, there is no way he can play offside. A very good run from
:29:15. > :29:20.Lukaku. Lescott gets back, running at 100 miles an hour. He should slow
:29:20. > :29:25.himself down. He is very close to him there. Yes, Joe Hart has made
:29:25. > :29:29.mistakes particularly in bit weak and this season but that would be
:29:29. > :29:35.incredibly harsh to have any blame. I would agree with that entirely. It
:29:35. > :29:41.was difficult, similar to the goal that Manchester City is scored a few
:29:41. > :29:45.minutes later, at the equaliser. You have stood by him, he will play in
:29:45. > :29:51.the games coming up presumably having said what you have said. Is
:29:51. > :29:56.it important to back a goalkeeper? I think it is. The keeper is so much
:29:56. > :29:59.in the limelight and every mistake they make is so easy to make. A
:29:59. > :30:03.midfielder can make mistakes, a they make is so easy to make. A
:30:03. > :30:07.forward can make a silly run, and we don't really notice it. But a
:30:07. > :30:18.goalkeeper, everyone see it's. Do you wish you tried one of your
:30:18. > :30:26.other keepers? We have done that. Butlin placed -- played. Forster, we
:30:26. > :30:29.like, what we see of him in training. This is the time for
:30:29. > :30:34.experience, for people who real live know what it's like to play for know
:30:34. > :30:40.what it's like. I remember a few years ago with Carson in goal.
:30:40. > :30:45.Roberto Martinez very unhappy. What do you think? I totally agree.
:30:45. > :30:50.There's no need for him to tackle. Is that not a push or a shove? I
:30:50. > :30:54.think it is. John Moss doesn't think it is. It's clearly a push. There's
:30:54. > :30:57.no need to do it, but he did. It should have been a penalty.
:30:57. > :31:03.Particularly if the referee has given this one. Coleman gets the
:31:03. > :31:07.wrong side of Zabaleta. Yes, Zabaleta goes down rather easily.
:31:07. > :31:12.But he has obstructed him or pushed him and fouled him. It's either two
:31:12. > :31:16.penalties or neither. Hoe has to give the -- He has to give the first
:31:16. > :31:20.as a penalty. What as the difference in the two sides, apart from the
:31:20. > :31:24.decisions going against Everton? Once City went behind they showed a
:31:24. > :31:27.lot of character. Their passing, their movement, this is a lovely
:31:28. > :31:32.free kick. This doesn't happen, this works in training. You work at it in
:31:32. > :31:38.training. Great little give and go, the movement, Aguero should actually
:31:38. > :31:42.score there. 90 peckeds after Everton -- seconds after Everton
:31:42. > :31:47.scores this happens. The weight of pass into Negredo is a sensational
:31:47. > :31:51.pass. This this is what happened. Negredo goes down there. Coleman is
:31:51. > :31:56.pass. This this is what happened. not happy. He's arguing. He should
:31:56. > :32:03.be getting up the pitch. He's not. He's arguing, head to head. They
:32:03. > :32:11.come together. Even Distin comes in. They realise, oh, Man City are back
:32:12. > :32:19.on the attack. What about this from Silva as well, Distin is on the
:32:19. > :32:22.wrong side of him. Brilliant finish. Five of your players in action,
:32:22. > :32:28.three and two. Who impressed you most? Well, I was very happy with
:32:28. > :32:33.all of them, I would say if I'd pick two, James Milner for City and
:32:33. > :32:37.Jagielka for Everton. They were outstanding for their two teams.
:32:37. > :32:43.Really happy with everyone today. All injury free as well. It's been a
:32:43. > :32:48.while since we had a decent SAS partnership in the Premier League,
:32:48. > :32:52.but it continued at Anfield, attempting to halt them were a
:32:52. > :32:57.Crystal Palace side who haven't scored in their last three games.
:32:57. > :33:03.Jonathan Pearce watched this one. Liverpool fans love their number
:33:03. > :33:11.sevens. Kenny Dalgleish is back at the club. And Luis Suarez, carrying
:33:11. > :33:17.his week old baby boy makes his first appearance here. In 14 games
:33:17. > :33:42.with Dean Struridge they share 16 goals.
:33:42. > :33:50.Ian Holloway wept on hearing the cop sing you never walk alone, it was
:33:50. > :34:06.his dad's favourite song. That would have been a shocked start
:34:06. > :34:08.for Crystal Palace in the eighth minute. They have to break out at
:34:08. > :34:42.speed. Liverpool lead! He's back. A happy
:34:42. > :34:46.home coming. In three Liverpool games now, since
:34:46. > :34:53.his return from the ten-match ban, he has three goals.
:34:53. > :35:02.Persistence pays off. Stumbled, slipped, poked it in.
:35:02. > :35:07.19 goals in his last 21 games for the club. Whatever you think of him,
:35:07. > :35:32.his work rate and his finishing power deserves to be admired.
:35:32. > :35:53.Rolled in, took the touch and fired away.
:35:53. > :36:02.Sturridge goes alone! He didn't need anyone else. Two goals inside the
:36:02. > :36:08.space of three minutes for Liverpool. It is the SAS team,
:36:08. > :36:17.Suarez and Sturridge. Suarez has 19 in his last 21 games
:36:17. > :36:22.for Liverpool and Dean Struridge -- Daniel Sturridge now has 19 in 25
:36:22. > :36:25.games. One thing in his mind - team-mates? No, I'm a goal scorer,
:36:25. > :36:35.bang. Liverpool if they are to be genuine
:36:35. > :36:37.contenders for the title or a top-four place, must go on to win
:36:37. > :36:51.comfortably. Sturridge has picked up something of
:36:51. > :36:53.an injury as he stretched. He's holding the back of his thigh
:36:53. > :37:06.immediately. Toure gets it away. Danger there for
:37:06. > :37:25.Liverpool. Promising signs for Crystal Palace.
:37:25. > :37:30.Good reaction save and then the follow up was wasted.
:37:30. > :37:35.One concern for Brendan Rogers, they've only won 15 of their last 35
:37:35. > :37:44.league games when they have bossed possession.
:37:44. > :37:50.Goodness me. The keeper's movement, he didn't read it, very nearly an
:37:50. > :38:10.own goal. Roy Hodgson looking on. Oh, it's a penalty. He was pulled
:38:10. > :38:13.back. It's outside the box. The initial contact, did it carry on
:38:13. > :38:17.inside the penalty area. That's why he's gone across to ask the
:38:17. > :38:20.assistant referee. The assistant confirms, the contact continued into
:38:21. > :38:26.the box. The contact was outside the box
:38:26. > :38:29.there. It's whether the hand was also on
:38:29. > :38:34.the shoulder into the penalty area and by continuing the foul in the
:38:34. > :38:40.box, he denoid a goal-scoring -- denied a goal-scoring opportunity.
:38:40. > :38:48.Steven Gerrard on the brink of history. If this goes in, he will
:38:48. > :38:56.have scored in 15 league seasons in a row. He's made another slice of
:38:56. > :39:00.history. First goal of the campaign for
:39:00. > :39:04.Steven Gerrard and 160 for Liverpool in all.
:39:04. > :39:19.He will consider the penalty a soft one. Contact was minimal.
:39:19. > :39:36.They could have been 4-0 up inside 39 minutes.
:39:36. > :39:58.Well done to Speroni. What a half for Liverpool. Luis Suarez put them
:39:58. > :40:02.1-0 up. Sturridge, his strike partner, made it two. Steven Gerrard
:40:02. > :40:12.put in number three. Liverpool comfortable at the break.
:40:12. > :40:40.They've got one! It's Gayle at the near post. What a moment for the
:40:40. > :40:46.22-year-old. ( What a moment. To the near post and he flicked it in.
:40:46. > :41:09.Crystal Palace's first goal in the Premier League in 346 minutes.
:41:09. > :41:15.Sturridge was the first man to it, offside.
:41:15. > :41:24.Lovely work here by Suarez. He pulled it back to Sturridge. An
:41:24. > :41:30.awkward ball. The talking point tonight, if there is one, is their
:41:30. > :41:35.third one. Is it really a foul? You know what I mean? He's completely
:41:35. > :41:40.thrown himself. If you want to compare it to anything, have a look
:41:40. > :41:45.at when Kebe is held back and pulled much worse than that. Roy Hodgson is
:41:45. > :41:47.waiting for news, are you fit and ready to go? I'm fit. I'm good to
:41:47. > :41:51.go. I'm very happy that I'm fit this ready to go? I'm fit. I'm good to
:41:51. > :41:55.time. I was gutted to not be fit for the last game. It was a big
:41:55. > :42:00.opportunity for me. I was bitterly disappointed with that. To be fit
:42:00. > :42:03.for this one and to be, you know, give the manager a problem to pick
:42:03. > :42:07.the team, then I'm delighted to be involved in the squad. It's great to
:42:07. > :42:13.be there. We won the second half. We were much better. We were positive.
:42:13. > :42:17.Gayle got another goal. Things have gone against us. We have to start
:42:17. > :42:20.with some belief. That will come. That will come, providing you're
:42:21. > :42:26.positive. A good result for Liverpool. After
:42:26. > :42:30.the game I spoke to Brendan Rogers. You know what it's like, when you're
:42:30. > :42:34.a striker, Gary, and sometimes you can play in different positions and
:42:34. > :42:38.knowing the two players well, I've played them in a number of
:42:38. > :42:42.positions. I've played one of them up top and one on a semi-wide
:42:42. > :42:46.position. I've played Daniel through the middle and Suarez in behind as a
:42:46. > :42:51.Number Ten, but he's not really that. Not in terms of how we want to
:42:51. > :42:55.work. They're both, what I would call, nine-and-a-halves, in terms of
:42:55. > :42:59.how they get between defenders and can drop in short and go long. We
:42:59. > :43:01.wanted to put the two of them up there. Then we look at the structure
:43:02. > :43:08.with the players we have in behind that, whether that's a 4-4-2 or a
:43:08. > :43:16.3-5-2 or that flexible 4-4-2. With the players at the moment, the
:43:16. > :43:19.3-4-1-2 suits us. Those two were exceptional. Some of their
:43:19. > :43:23.combination play and their link up was outstanding. As I said, they're
:43:23. > :43:28.right up there with the best in this league. With your great start to the
:43:28. > :43:33.season, does it make you reassess your targets for the overall season?
:43:33. > :43:39.Not really. We just obviously want to make improvements on last season.
:43:39. > :43:43.I thought that from January onwards our performance level has been good.
:43:43. > :43:48.Obviously, we finished seventh last year and our ideas to -- our idea's
:43:48. > :43:52.to get into the top four. There's a long way to go. We have Roy Hodgson
:43:52. > :43:58.alongside us this evening. You've got two of his players, two of your
:43:58. > :44:01.players of course, Steven Gerrard and Daniel Sturridge. Can you tell
:44:01. > :44:05.us that they're fit and healthy for him? Yeah, I think Roy will be
:44:05. > :44:16.pleased after this game, obviously, we took Daniel just off towards the
:44:16. > :44:19.end. He was excellent. Stephen -- Steven has been outstanding. Roy
:44:19. > :44:23.will know what he's like, having had his time at Liverpool and with
:44:23. > :44:25.England, he's a wonderful captain and he's fit, I believe and raring
:44:25. > :44:41.to go. Great news. Well done.
:44:41. > :44:46.What to you make of this Danilo Sturridge and Luis Suarez
:44:46. > :45:03.partnership? -- Daniel Sturridge. With England, when I partnered
:45:03. > :45:09.Teddy Sheringham, it was natural. I get the feeling with this
:45:09. > :45:14.partnership, it just happens. It is natural. They enjoy playing each
:45:14. > :45:20.other. A have a very good record in games they have played together and
:45:20. > :45:26.individually. They are both scoring goals and creating goals for each
:45:26. > :45:32.other. This is a fantastic run from Daniel Sturridge.
:45:32. > :45:40.He has an option to run through the middle of all, do what he did, and
:45:40. > :45:50.pass it to Daniel Sturridge and say, do your stuff. He looked very
:45:50. > :46:00.dangerous. You must be delighted with his form. He is excellent. A
:46:00. > :46:04.good. You made. When he starts century, he gives himself the
:46:04. > :46:11.chance to make those diagonal runs he is making from straight balls,
:46:11. > :46:19.as you can see. His desire to get into the box. They are working so
:46:19. > :46:27.well and understand each other. It is a prime example. He is aware of
:46:27. > :46:40.his game. Visit it at a similar dilemma as Brendan Rogers? -- it is
:46:40. > :46:54.it a similar dilemma? We have had a lot of white players. It has lent
:46:54. > :46:59.itself to one centre-forward as a target. -- wide players. The last
:46:59. > :47:06.time we played the two of them together, both of them played off
:47:07. > :47:28.each other. Daniel can drop deeper. On that occasion, someone like
:47:28. > :47:31.Wayne or Luis Suarez can push on. We still have three games to show
:47:31. > :47:48.you. Let's take an opportunity to talk
:47:48. > :47:54.about England. Would it be the biggest week in your managerial
:47:54. > :48:01.career? It feels like it. I have had some weeks in the past, EDL to
:48:01. > :48:05.find a qualification games, where you feel a lot of responsibility
:48:05. > :48:12.for the country and try to pick your team through. We do not own
:48:12. > :48:17.country, it weighs more heavily. -- with your own country. In the last
:48:17. > :48:21.game, there were a number of critics. I felt England did not
:48:21. > :48:28.pass the ball too well and gave up too much possession. In hindsight,
:48:28. > :48:33.it is always different. It is always different when you are on
:48:33. > :48:40.the touchline and you are aware of getting a result. I suppose I could
:48:40. > :48:45.concur we have had better attacking days. I thought the shape of the
:48:45. > :48:50.team was very good. In the circumstances, to come away from a
:48:50. > :48:55.difficult game with a point, and go into the last two games when I was
:48:55. > :49:02.hoping we would get some of our attacking players fit again, it
:49:02. > :49:10.would not be a bad situation. You need two wins. They're both at home.
:49:10. > :49:17.To you suspect you will play more offensively? We have played an
:49:17. > :49:25.offensive style for most of the matches. The game against Moldova
:49:25. > :49:30.or at home was good. Women get what I think is our best team on the
:49:30. > :49:38.field, they have some marvellous, attacking players. -- when we get.
:49:38. > :49:45.It was very important for us we did not lose the last game. We would
:49:45. > :49:53.have been hoping that Ukraine slipped up. Do you know the team
:49:53. > :49:59.for next Friday, barring injuries? I know it to about 80%. There are
:49:59. > :50:05.always positions where Iowa to make decisions but I have a pretty good
:50:05. > :50:12.idea what it will be. -- where I have to make. We do not have many
:50:12. > :50:16.world-class players in their prime. The golden generation are the
:50:17. > :50:23.vintage generation. We have young players who are not quite at their
:50:23. > :50:30.prime. Is that difficult? It is a scenario that occurs. As manager
:50:30. > :50:33.during that time, you might have wished for something different. I
:50:33. > :50:38.during that time, you might have have been quite pleased with the
:50:38. > :50:43.team will start they have been excellent. Response to the work has
:50:43. > :50:46.been fantastic. With all the things we have had to contend with, I do
:50:46. > :50:53.not think we have done that badly. we have had to contend with, I do
:50:53. > :51:00.We're still unbeaten in the group. There have been too many draws.
:51:00. > :51:06.Looking back, there have been a few games where we could have done more
:51:06. > :51:23.to get the victory from a drawer. Are you confident? I am confident.
:51:23. > :51:26.That's enough England. Time for a trip to Wales, where Cardiff, if
:51:26. > :51:29.stats are anything to go by, were strong favourites to beat Newcastle.
:51:29. > :51:32.The Bluebirds have lost just three of their 26 home games since the
:51:32. > :51:35.start of last season, whilst the Magpies have won only three of
:51:35. > :51:46.their last 23 Premier League away games. Steve Bower was watching.
:51:47. > :51:52.The recall of Peter Odemwingie is one of three changes to Dave.
:51:52. > :52:16.Papiss Cisse also returns. -- today. 82 from the Frenchman. -- a touch.
:52:16. > :52:29.That was definitely a foul. Free kick to Newcastle.
:52:29. > :52:40.There was a great save! All kinds of appeals. That was clear it in
:52:40. > :52:45.the end. Fraizer Campbell is a relieved man. Williamson won it
:52:45. > :53:03.back and that created the danger. That needed tipping over by David
:53:03. > :53:25.Marshall. That was beautifully brought down and was heading in.
:53:25. > :53:41.What a finish exclamation -- what a finish! Lois Remy picked it up from
:53:41. > :53:47.halfway. He stepped inside two defenders and that was inch-perfect.
:53:47. > :53:55.What an impact he has had since arriving from Queen's Park Rangers.
:53:55. > :54:17.He has been through six managers, Mike Ashley.
:54:17. > :54:30.Bootable by Loic Remy! -- beautiful. That was the perfect response. You
:54:30. > :54:45.hanker by at the heart of it. He'd just clipped it. -- Jo -- Yohan
:54:45. > :55:07.Cabaye. Free-kicks to Newcastle. He very nearly succeeded pulls up -
:55:07. > :55:13.- he very nearly succeeded. No one saw that coming. The Cardiff
:55:13. > :55:29.goalkeeper is very thankful. That effort was always rising.
:55:29. > :55:35.He could not steer it towards goal. That was more encouraging for
:55:35. > :55:58.Cardiff. Peter Odemwingie was on side. That
:55:58. > :56:10.was a fabulous chance! His first Premier League got in Cardiff
:56:10. > :56:13.colours. -- goal. That was a lovely come at first time bauble stuck
:56:13. > :56:18.Peter Odemwingie took his time, kept his cool and schools are his
:56:18. > :56:24.first Premier League goal since January. -- that was a lovely,
:56:24. > :56:40.first time all. He did not think he got the last
:56:40. > :56:48.touch. The referee degrees. -- ate agrees.
:56:48. > :57:06.That was a good save by David Marsh of. This is the situation at
:57:06. > :57:22.Cardiff need to be wary of. -- David Marshall.
:57:22. > :57:36.Papiss Cisse was onside. That was a fabulous save for!
:57:36. > :57:57.It is a first-half performance which isn't right up there as good
:57:57. > :58:03.as I have seen as a manager. -- which is right up there. We started
:58:03. > :58:13.slowly. You cannot give good players time on the ball. We made a
:58:13. > :58:18.couple of changes at half-time. We played well in the second half. The
:58:18. > :58:22.manager said all week we need to come out fighting and stick
:58:22. > :58:25.together. We defended well. They put pressure on us and scored some
:58:25. > :58:32.together. We defended well. They great goals. You have your hero,
:58:32. > :58:35.Loic Remy. I think when strikers - Gary Lineker will tell you - when
:58:35. > :58:37.Loic Remy. I think when strikers - they feel comfortable in an
:58:37. > :58:43.Loic Remy. I think when strikers - environment, they produce their
:58:43. > :58:49.best football. He is enjoying it. For the fans, it is payback for
:58:49. > :58:54.Monday night. I think they will enjoy that result. We can all go
:58:54. > :59:00.into the bar and scratch our heads about the team. Our week good or
:59:00. > :59:09.bad? I will not tell you. Alan Shearer might - he was quite good.
:59:09. > :59:18.He leads you in nicely. You have got one strike in form and one
:59:18. > :59:24.strike out of form for Newcastle. One striker is full of confidence.
:59:24. > :59:32.That is a fantastic ball. A guy full of confidence, he does not
:59:32. > :59:37.even think about taking a touch. He gets his effort awake at goal. He
:59:37. > :59:44.tries to take a touch and it gets away from him.
:59:44. > :59:53.There is only one thing on his mind. He has an opportunity to pass it in.
:59:53. > :00:09.Because he is full of confidence, he will have his efforts at goal.
:00:09. > :00:16.Cabeye seems to have settled down. He helped change the game in midweek
:00:16. > :00:21.when he came on and scored a very good goal. That's a great touch.
:00:21. > :00:27.That's where the second goal comes from, from Remy. He controlled the
:00:27. > :00:30.midfield. Look at that for an effort! Even the Newcastle players
:00:30. > :00:36.think it's going into the ball for a cross. But an excellent shot. Decent
:00:36. > :00:42.effort again. He breaks up play. Sets up play gored -- going forward.
:00:42. > :00:48.He was at the heart of everything Newcastle did well. I'm pleased he's
:00:48. > :00:53.settled down because he is a very good footballer. It looks as if when
:00:53. > :00:58.Newcastle play well, they have to play well. -- he has to play well.
:00:59. > :01:05.That's the way to get the fans back on side. Cardiff, generally a solid
:01:05. > :01:09.start. Malky MacKay, what are the difficulties when you come up from
:01:09. > :01:13.the championship in the Premier League nowadays? He did so well for
:01:13. > :01:19.the previous two seasons. They were so close on each occasion. He's got
:01:19. > :01:23.his team very well organised. They're a hard working team. I think
:01:23. > :01:26.he's ready for it. Those two near misses, when they actually took the
:01:26. > :01:30.step and they got, there I think he was ready for it both mentally and
:01:30. > :01:34.his team were prepared as well. Certainly much better in the second
:01:34. > :01:38.half. Must be frustrating for a manager when your team goes out and
:01:38. > :01:41.they stutter and you can't get the chance. It happens, doesn't it?
:01:41. > :01:46.Football is not an exact science, unfortunately. People don't always
:01:46. > :01:53.give the performances. It's easier on the black board. Zblin deed! And
:01:53. > :01:58.in here. -- Indeed. And in here. More football tonight. Here are the
:01:58. > :02:02.details. Exactly 100 goals tonight, including
:02:02. > :02:10.two stunning come backs. We'll see how one of Roy's predecessor's got
:02:10. > :02:49.on. Join me after Match of the S No Premier League next week, of
:02:49. > :02:56.course. But 5 Live will have commentary on Friday and Tuesday.
:02:56. > :03:01.A club close to your heart now. Fulham's six defeats in seven home
:03:01. > :03:06.games piled the pressure on Martin Jol. Today he was up against the man
:03:06. > :03:10.he replaced at Craven Cottage as Mark Hughes returned with Stoke.
:03:10. > :03:18.Martin Jol had his head in his hands Mark Hughes returned with Stoke.
:03:18. > :03:22.a week ago. Today he faces a pivotal match against Mark Hughes. The Stoke
:03:22. > :03:26.boss spent one season at the cottage taking them to eighth position and
:03:26. > :03:37.now admits he may have left too soon. Jol is without Scott Parker.
:03:37. > :04:11.It's a goal kick. One or two hopeful Stoke appeals.
:04:11. > :04:17.Now did he touch the ball? Or was that a penalty claim by Stoke? Mark
:04:17. > :04:33.Hughes might have a view on that. There's a tug back on Walters there.
:04:33. > :04:44.Was it inside the area? Well there are appeals for a penalty.
:04:44. > :04:47.I think he catches Meppen-Walter' left foot. -- Walters' left foot
:04:47. > :04:53.there. Mark Hughes is puzzled.
:04:53. > :05:00.I would have thought Etherington might fancy this.
:05:00. > :05:39.There's going to be two minutes added to the first half, which
:05:39. > :05:54.hasn't had too many distinguishing features.
:05:54. > :06:03.Oh, he's gone down. The referee looks at it. There's definitely a
:06:03. > :06:12.touch on him. It would be awkward for Fulham if
:06:12. > :06:14.they were to even draw this game. Then they would go from the first
:06:14. > :06:21.day of the season without a win. He's been caught. Whelan will get a
:06:21. > :06:40.yellow card. Berbatov is looking to the bench as
:06:40. > :06:45.though he might be nursing an injury. If he comes off, it will
:06:45. > :06:47.surely be the signal for Darren Bent.
:06:47. > :07:11.He does come on. Corner. Fulham are almost in a
:07:11. > :07:43.position where they're hanging on, which is not where they want to be.
:07:43. > :07:50.The save denies him. One minute he was clearing off the line and then
:07:50. > :07:51.ran half the length of the pitch. Fulham's best effort of the
:07:51. > :08:20.afternoon. Darren Bent has scored! It's a
:08:20. > :08:27.lifeline for Fulham. It's an absolute lifeline. Darren
:08:27. > :08:32.Bent comes on as sub and gets the goal that Martin Jol so desperately
:08:32. > :08:34.needed. Look at the scenes at Craven
:08:34. > :09:24.Cottage. Oh, no trying to chink his way past
:09:24. > :09:30.him. He could have sewn it up then. They haven't heard a roar like this
:09:30. > :09:36.in a couple of weeks. They may not have heard one like this all season.
:09:36. > :09:40.We're struggling a bit. You saw today, home game, we couldn't keep
:09:40. > :09:44.the ball. We couldn't sho our quality. We had a few substitutions
:09:44. > :09:48.to make. In the end it came off and we were probably a bit lucky. We
:09:48. > :09:53.can't really believe we've lost that game. Totally in control of the
:09:53. > :09:58.game. Disappointed that we didn't have two key decisions go for us.
:09:58. > :10:04.Stone wall penalties in my view and the importance of the first goal in
:10:04. > :10:08.the Premier League is huge. It's massive. When you're in the bottom
:10:08. > :10:13.three before kickoff and you have a team like Stoke, always hard to play
:10:13. > :10:18.against, you need the luck, you need the breaks. We managed to get a
:10:18. > :10:23.massive three points. You don't want the ball falling to Darren Bent. He
:10:23. > :10:28.dispatched it really well. We're left shaking our heads. I think
:10:28. > :10:32.Fulham were a bit embarrassed to realise that they'd won. I'm sure
:10:32. > :10:34.they'll enjoy it nevertheless. More baffling decisions do you think?
:10:34. > :10:41.they'll enjoy it nevertheless. More There were two or three I didn't
:10:41. > :10:47.understand. We understand that referees have incredibly tough job.
:10:48. > :10:53.I don't think he touches Ireland there. Do you not? I think the
:10:53. > :10:57.ereferee gets this one right. The foul is originally outside the
:10:57. > :11:02.box, but the referee is well within his rights there. It's clumsy.
:11:02. > :11:06.Walters doesn't no what has happened behind him -- know what has happened
:11:06. > :11:11.behind him. Wilson goes for the ball. He doesn't get it. Buff I
:11:11. > :11:14.think that's a -- but I think that's a penalty. I think the referee has
:11:15. > :11:21.had a poor day there. A few interesting ones. The substitution
:11:21. > :11:29.turned the game. Only three players have scored more goals than him
:11:29. > :11:32.since 2008, Rooney, RVP and Lampard. Both his feet are off the ground.
:11:32. > :11:34.since 2008, Rooney, RVP and Lampard. Dangerous, he could get a red card.
:11:34. > :11:40.since 2008, Rooney, RVP and Lampard. Berbatov is too clever, flicks it
:11:40. > :11:41.over him. Two or three minutes later Berbatov has to go off injured. You
:11:41. > :11:45.can imagine how Martin Jol Berbatov has to go off injured. You
:11:45. > :11:48.after the pain of conceding a goal in the last minute last week and
:11:48. > :11:52.Berbatov having to go off. It worked in the last minute last week and
:11:52. > :11:55.in their favour. Poor ball there. This is an excellent finish. The
:11:55. > :11:58.in their favour. Poor ball there. first touch there to put it into his
:11:58. > :12:08.path and the composure to come back on his left foot. A very, very good
:12:08. > :12:12.finish. Goal for Fulham and in particular, the manager there, your
:12:12. > :12:17.former club. He needed that. Absolutely. Because it's still very
:12:17. > :12:27.early in the season. I must say that I'm as aware and as used to anyone
:12:27. > :12:30.as the effect of crisis occur. There's a lot of football to be
:12:30. > :12:32.as the effect of crisis occur. played. I'm pleased for the
:12:32. > :12:37.managers, who are under pressure today, that they got results. It's
:12:37. > :12:40.harsh to put people under pressure after five games. Looking at a club
:12:40. > :12:46.like Fulham, do you think they'll be OK? Yes, sclutly. -- Absolutely.
:12:46. > :12:49.Good club. The trip to Hull and back has been tough this season. Steve
:12:49. > :12:54.Bruce's side have taken seven points from their three home games. Aston
:12:54. > :12:59.Villa were looking to win three successive league games for the
:12:59. > :13:13.first time in more than three years. Commentary with Simon Brotherton.
:13:13. > :13:17.Both teams are looking for their third league win in ape row.
:13:17. > :13:43.-- in a row. A nudge in the back on the Hull City
:13:43. > :14:26.captain. Hull have never managed to win
:14:26. > :14:33.back-to-back games in the Premier League before. A chance to do that
:14:33. > :14:37.today. Blah diving in for Villa. Danny Graham, I think just about got
:14:37. > :14:40.today. Blah diving in for Villa. on the end of that. He was under
:14:40. > :14:46.real pressure from Ron Vlaar, the Aston Villa captain. Paul Lambert,
:14:46. > :14:52.real pressure from Ron Vlaar, the he has seen his team win five of the
:14:52. > :15:02.last eight on the road if you include the back end of last season.
:15:02. > :15:10.A good save, flicked away by McGregor. It is the closest Villa
:15:10. > :15:32.have come in the opening quarter of the match.
:15:32. > :15:44.There is no way he will stay out of the referee's book for that.
:15:44. > :15:55.Ashley Westwood finds his name in the referee's notebook. He is a
:15:55. > :16:13.lucky man there. Manhandling Tom Huddlestone to the floor.
:16:13. > :16:21.A finger stinger for the Villa goalkeeper, straight at him though.
:16:21. > :16:23.Huddlestone hasn't scored for a long time but he can strike the ball at a
:16:23. > :16:55.fair old rate of knots. Agbonlahor, oh, it is wide! That is
:16:55. > :16:58.the closest Villa have coming to scoring for some considerable time
:16:58. > :17:03.in a match and it came initially from this breakaway from Bacuna, who
:17:03. > :17:07.went skipping away down the flank. The ball in from Weimann, Agbonlahor
:17:07. > :17:13.checking back but unable to find the far corner.
:17:13. > :17:24.A free kick given for the challenge by Delph.
:17:24. > :17:33.Blocked by Ron Vlaar. Villa survived. In fact Graham I think
:17:33. > :17:45.missed the ball and Vlaar was able to clear.
:17:45. > :17:54.In towards El Ahmadi. A routine save from Allan McGregor. They just might
:17:54. > :17:58.have had to settle for a point here. from Allan McGregor. They just might
:17:58. > :18:03.have had to settle It had 0-0 written all over it. We are
:18:03. > :18:08.delighted we took a point. We haven't played as well as we have
:18:08. > :18:10.during week -- in recent weeks. We are playing against a decent Aston
:18:10. > :18:14.Villa team. We will take the point are playing against a decent Aston
:18:14. > :18:18.and move on. We are delighted with the start, four games we have played
:18:18. > :18:20.and move on. We are delighted with and won two and got a couple of
:18:20. > :18:27.drawers which has helped us enormously. There are pluses for the
:18:27. > :18:31.team, it is growing together and we might have lost the game last year
:18:31. > :18:35.but all credit to them, appoint as a point. I hate to mention it but you
:18:35. > :18:41.might have to stay up late if you want to watch highlights. Without
:18:41. > :18:42.question. It may be as Paul has just said, maybe put it at the back end
:18:42. > :18:48.question. It may be as Paul has just of next week's show. We are all
:18:48. > :18:51.agreed that there is not much to talk about there is not much to talk
:18:51. > :18:54.about their so it is good we have run out of time. A great pleasure to
:18:55. > :18:56.have you in, Roy. Before we leave you, let's look at the Barclays
:18:56. > :19:07.Premier League table. Liverpool have soared to the top
:19:07. > :19:10.courtesy of their SAS strikeforce. The two Manchester clubs put a
:19:10. > :19:14.difficult week behind them with city up to third and United back into the
:19:14. > :19:17.top off. At the bottom Sunderland are rooted to the foot of the
:19:17. > :19:25.table. They have become the sixth team to win any of the opening seven
:19:25. > :19:29.matches. See what the papers have to say in the morning, the Sunday
:19:29. > :19:40.Telegraph lead with the news the FA have already contacted Manchester
:19:40. > :19:50.United to try and claim their player for England. That is it on the night
:19:50. > :19:54.that an 18-year-old rescued Manchester United. A word of warning
:19:54. > :19:56.to David Moyes, remember, you don't win anything with kids! Goodbye.
