:01:01. > :01:09.For Liverpool, there can be no more stumbles. They have two win here.
:01:10. > :01:26.Moving three points clear. Crystal Palace have come back! 3-2 re-! --
:01:27. > :01:32.3-3. Winning one more and the tablets back. Why can't they just
:01:33. > :01:44.roll over and let us when! -- and let us.
:01:45. > :01:49.The final day of the magnificent Barclays Premier League season began
:01:50. > :01:54.with two teams in contention for the title. Man City were favourites but
:01:55. > :01:58.despite the collapse at Crystal Palace, Liverpool still dared to
:01:59. > :02:03.dream. Plenty of emotion coming up and that is just the studio. Alan
:02:04. > :02:11.Shearer and Alan Hansen, making his final appearance after 22 years.
:02:12. > :02:14.Only one place to start - could Man City become champions for the second
:02:15. > :02:20.time in three seasons? Manuel Pellegrini's side knew a point
:02:21. > :02:28.against West Ham with secure the title. One more point needed, one
:02:29. > :02:38.last day of drama. We have learned to take nothing from granted in this
:02:39. > :03:07.season. -- for granted. Only one change to the side. James Milner
:03:08. > :03:13.side. And there was much focus on the former Liverpool men, Stuart
:03:14. > :03:19.Downing and Andy Carroll as well as the captain, Kevin Nolan. Superb
:03:20. > :03:34.atmosphere around the stadium. It has been building, there has been
:03:35. > :03:47.tension. To array finding Silva. -- yeah Toure. And there was a shout
:03:48. > :03:52.for handball. I do not think Mark Noble could have done anything about
:03:53. > :04:04.that. It does hit his hand, but that was purely accidental. Toure. Lovely
:04:05. > :04:12.touch from Aguero, Silva with the return. He could not quite stretch
:04:13. > :04:22.far enough. No one was in the way. Garcia finding Zabaleta. Lovely
:04:23. > :04:27.clip. That was too high from Silva. It blazed over the crossbar football
:04:28. > :04:33.of a sudden, Manchester City went go. That cross was almost perfect.
:04:34. > :04:49.If he had put that away, it would have been perfect. Man City only
:04:50. > :04:55.need the draw but West Ham do not do those. 14 Premier League games
:04:56. > :05:01.without one. Toure. Back to Zabeleta. It looked like there was
:05:02. > :05:10.contact, there. Enough to warrant the foul and the penalty. No sign of
:05:11. > :05:15.any nerves among the Manchester City players. They are able to deal with
:05:16. > :05:27.the extra pressure. Zabeleta, one of those typical charges. He almost put
:05:28. > :05:33.Samir Nasri off. Garcia. Kolarov, he can shoot from range. What a shot!
:05:34. > :05:38.It looked like it was tipped over the bar. Wonderful save, the
:05:39. > :05:44.neighing Kolarov that Blockbuster goal. It was rising over, anyway.
:05:45. > :05:54.The Spaniard in the goal could not afford to take that chance. Samir
:05:55. > :06:01.Nasri. He has gone for the shot. And he scores! That was an absolute
:06:02. > :06:06.cracker. You can feel the noise around the stadium. One blast
:06:07. > :06:14.towards the title. They have knocked it around. Trying to find their way
:06:15. > :06:17.through. West Ham were keeping Manchester City I'd. Until this,
:06:18. > :06:23.from Samir Nasri. The best way is the most direct. Just have a go. He
:06:24. > :06:29.could not have had that any sweeter. There was a lot of swerve.
:06:30. > :06:39.Manchester City one, West Ham United zero. That was a huge tension
:06:40. > :06:42.reliever. Samir Nasri has got all of his goals except for one of them at
:06:43. > :06:51.the Etihad Stadium. The other one came at Monday. By the concentration
:06:52. > :06:59.starts. Samir Nasri. Sama letter. Fully focus on his attacking job.
:07:00. > :07:18.Aguero! Wide. James Tomkins was with him. Toure. Samir Nasri. Spinning
:07:19. > :07:27.behind for the corner. One last chance to make it 2-0 before the
:07:28. > :07:33.break. Toure. He finds Silva. Through the gap! That was deflected
:07:34. > :07:38.onto the bar by Andy Carroll. And that will do it for the first-half.
:07:39. > :07:43.That will do very nicely for Manchester City and all of their
:07:44. > :07:56.supporters. Bury nearly 2-0 on the stroke of half-time. Almost over the
:07:57. > :08:00.line. Only one West Ham win in the last 17 meetings of these clubs in
:08:01. > :08:02.the last eight years. Only two West Ham wins in their last 25 League
:08:03. > :08:09.games away to Manchester City. Kolarov. He was impeded. Free kick,
:08:10. > :08:13.no card for Stuart Downing. He has not collected at football season.
:08:14. > :08:21.This is a chance for Manchester City. Samir Nasri will try to create
:08:22. > :08:28.something. And it was defended. It will go behind for the corner. Samir
:08:29. > :08:44.Nasri will take that also. Kolarov, on the run. Vincent Kompany scores!
:08:45. > :08:47.Four weeks ago, it was Kompany's clanger at Anfield that looks like
:08:48. > :08:57.handing the title to Liverpool. He has now put Manchester City even
:08:58. > :09:02.closer to being the champions, themselves. And to him lifting the
:09:03. > :09:07.trophy at the end of the afternoon. The touch of a striker from Kompany.
:09:08. > :09:11.There could be no more popular and goal-scorer than the captain today.
:09:12. > :09:18.2-0. And to think, some Manchester City supporters have only known joy
:09:19. > :09:26.and success. They will get the tales of old from the others! Using every
:09:27. > :09:31.blade of grass on this page. Three in the box. Aguero. The day will not
:09:32. > :09:41.be complete until he has scored. He was never likely to put that one in.
:09:42. > :09:49.The man in charge of Manchester City on a day-to-day basis. He cannot
:09:50. > :09:57.suppress his smiles. He will be joining in with the songs in a
:09:58. > :10:05.moment! Toure. Sama letter, he will get there. Aguero, of all people! He
:10:06. > :10:11.pulled away from Tomkins beautifully. I have never seen him
:10:12. > :10:25.do that before. We will not see him do that again. A photograph taken on
:10:26. > :10:31.the day that belief was one. Samir Nasri. City building up to goal
:10:32. > :10:40.number three. Samir Nasri! Blocked by the boots of Adrian. Samir Nasri
:10:41. > :10:47.but plenty behind that. They are on their feet, all around the stadium.
:10:48. > :10:53.We have played every two minutes of added on time. Just waiting for the
:10:54. > :10:57.whistle, the signal for Manchester to go absolutely mad with
:10:58. > :11:02.celebrations. Manchester City have their crime back! Last, Manchester
:11:03. > :11:11.went red but the sky is blue. Once more. Manuel Pellegrini has
:11:12. > :11:19.masterminded and Chester City becoming Premier League champions
:11:20. > :12:31.for the second time in three years. -- Manchester City. We just needed
:12:32. > :12:36.the draw, but the whole season, we have played attacking football, on
:12:37. > :12:40.the offensive. It is a great place to be at the moment, we have given
:12:41. > :12:48.the fans positive football all season and we have 12 trophies, so I
:12:49. > :12:54.guess the way you can sum it up is this club is going to become a big
:12:55. > :12:57.club --we have won two trophies. After the game, I spoke to a
:12:58. > :13:06.slightly the drug called Manuel Pellegrini. Many congratulations.
:13:07. > :13:14.-- slightly bedraggled. You got there in the end. Yes, it was a long
:13:15. > :13:18.season. A very tough league, and we had three teams fighting for the
:13:19. > :13:22.title, so at the moment, it is the strongest league in the world. I am
:13:23. > :13:26.very proud to manage this team and win this league. A few weeks ago,
:13:27. > :13:31.nine points behind with two games in hand, you must have thought it would
:13:32. > :13:36.be difficult. The whole season was very difficult. It is not easy to
:13:37. > :13:40.come to the Premier League. We didn't start very well at the
:13:41. > :13:44.beginning, especially in the games we played away. We had four points
:13:45. > :13:49.from the first 18, but I think that was a key moment of the season,
:13:50. > :13:52.because I talked with the players and I told them they must continue
:13:53. > :13:56.playing the same way. They believed in me and continued and after that,
:13:57. > :14:02.we had a lot of points away and at home, we had a brilliant season.
:14:03. > :14:08.When we lost against Liverpool, that was so important, to keep our mind
:14:09. > :14:13.and not give up, hoping the other team can lose points. They did and
:14:14. > :14:18.we continued winning our five games in a row. Two years ago, Manchester
:14:19. > :14:22.City won the title. I know you weren't the manager then, but they
:14:23. > :14:26.failed in the summer to add to the squad and didn't defend the title.
:14:27. > :14:32.Will you learn from that and try and bring in one or two new players this
:14:33. > :14:36.summer? Well, we are going to celebrate today and tomorrow and we
:14:37. > :14:39.are going to start working maybe on Tuesday for next season. I think
:14:40. > :14:47.that this club must always improve. We are going to study the whole
:14:48. > :14:52.club, what we did, the whole season, what we succeeded and what we failed
:14:53. > :15:04.out and we will look to go strong again.
:15:05. > :15:10.GARY SPEAKS IN SPANISH. The title is decided, so many swings
:15:11. > :15:15.this season, but they saw it out in good style. They did what they had
:15:16. > :15:18.to do, nothing spectacular. It was like the other evening against Aston
:15:19. > :15:23.Villa, never did I think they were in any danger, always comfortable.
:15:24. > :15:27.They kept on playing, like the other night, and once they got the first
:15:28. > :15:32.call, they were never under any threat. West Ham didn't have any
:15:33. > :15:36.efforts on target and once again, their big players performed. But it
:15:37. > :15:40.hasn't all been plain sailing the season. Pellegrini mentioned it, to
:15:41. > :15:47.begin with, their away form was very poor. The first six away games, look
:15:48. > :15:51.at that. Not only does it prove that it takes players time to adjust to
:15:52. > :15:54.the Premier League, it also proves it takes time for managers to get
:15:55. > :15:57.used to it and the players stuck with him and as they said, they
:15:58. > :16:05.believed in him, they believed in his way and the waveform certainly
:16:06. > :16:13.picked up. -- the away form. Last season, 66 goals they scored. 102
:16:14. > :16:16.this year, so you can tell where they have improved. But when it
:16:17. > :16:23.really mattered, the business end of the season, last five games, they
:16:24. > :16:27.really want them. -- they won them. When the pressure is on, they
:16:28. > :16:30.handled it. Two years ago, a lot of players in the squad had the
:16:31. > :16:37.experience, but it was a big game for me, there has been a few, was
:16:38. > :16:42.Everton a couple of weeks ago. They showed their character, 1-0 down,
:16:43. > :16:48.didn't panic. Great goal from Ross Barkley, but the big players, Toure
:16:49. > :16:54.into Aguero, very good finish, gets them back on to level terms. He goes
:16:55. > :16:58.off injured and this shows the strength of the squad. Fernandinho
:16:59. > :17:02.comes on, allowing Toure to push forward and Dzeko, who has been a
:17:03. > :17:07.huge player for them in the last five or six months, came in and
:17:08. > :17:14.scored the goals, but this is as good as a goal. What a save that is.
:17:15. > :17:19.What a comeback he has made this season. 90 seconds later, they go
:17:20. > :17:30.back up the other end and instead of being 2-2, it is 3-1. Dzeko again.
:17:31. > :17:34.Goals when they need them most. They have scored over 100 goals this
:17:35. > :17:40.season, much more fluent, but he hasn't damaged them at the other end
:17:41. > :17:45.of the pitch is statistically. Well, the first four or five away, they
:17:46. > :17:49.were poor, but I think Demichelis has been a big player for them. When
:17:50. > :17:53.he first came, we slaughtered him, thought he was slow and impetuous
:17:54. > :17:58.and dived in, but towards the end, he was like a rock. The three teams
:17:59. > :18:01.going for the title, Chelsea are the best at getting men behind the ball
:18:02. > :18:05.and soaking up pressure and hitting on the break. Liverpool had this
:18:06. > :18:09.explosion of pace and blew everyone away. In the middle, the perfect
:18:10. > :18:14.structure is Manchester City, who can do it at both ends. I don't
:18:15. > :18:17.think I have seen a team in Premier League history moving the ball
:18:18. > :18:21.better than this present Manchester City team. It is exceptional at
:18:22. > :18:24.getting hold of the ball, moving it and working teams and they get
:18:25. > :18:30.dividends in the last ten or 15 minutes. A lot of credit has to go
:18:31. > :18:34.to Pellegrini. Absolutely and I was very impressed when he left Joe Hart
:18:35. > :18:38.out earlier in the season, the whole of England was asking what if he is
:18:39. > :18:41.not playing come the World Cup and there was no pressure, he said I
:18:42. > :18:45.will do it my way, took him out of the firing line and when it was
:18:46. > :18:48.right, put him back in. When he felt it was right, not when the whole
:18:49. > :18:55.country was screaming. I thought the way he handled it was perfect. They
:18:56. > :18:58.handled the situation perfectly, when they came under real pressure,
:18:59. > :19:01.trailing behind Liverpool, they kept on winning. It is essential dressing
:19:02. > :19:06.room and that is credit to the manager. There is a sense, from
:19:07. > :19:10.Manchester City fans, that they don't get enough credit, because of
:19:11. > :19:14.the money invested all when they are successful, there is not enough
:19:15. > :19:19.credit. Do they deserve this victory? After 38 games, if you win
:19:20. > :19:24.the title, you deserve it. You can't be lucky for 38 games. Worthy
:19:25. > :19:29.winners. Great to watch week after week. You don't agree with Greg Dyke
:19:30. > :19:34.that it is depressing that Manchester City have won the title?
:19:35. > :19:37.If you look at Manchester City and the money they have spent, they
:19:38. > :19:40.should win it. They have spent a lot of money, but they have got some
:19:41. > :19:45.great players that are brilliant to watch and great for the Premier
:19:46. > :19:49.League. Congratulations to them. So there will be no first title in 24
:19:50. > :19:52.years in Liverpool, but could they round off a memorable season with
:19:53. > :19:57.victory over Newcastle? Steve Wilson was at Anfield.
:19:58. > :20:03.Astra sometimes sensational season, Liverpool are at least in the title
:20:04. > :20:07.equation on the final date for the first time in the Premier League
:20:08. > :20:12.era, but they are, of course, realistic. Jordan Henderson is back,
:20:13. > :20:18.Lucas makes way. Daniel Agger comes in. They need one more goal to reach
:20:19. > :20:22.a century for the season. Newcastle have not won here for 20 years. They
:20:23. > :20:26.are without Loic Remy because of a knee injury. He has now presumably
:20:27. > :20:29.played his last game for the club. Steven Taylor, who came on and
:20:30. > :20:31.scored last weekend after three months out injured, comes into a
:20:32. > :21:00.back five. Henderson injecting a bit of urgency
:21:01. > :21:04.into Liverpool's play. The reward is Suarez has it and he is blocked off
:21:05. > :21:08.by Vernon Anita. Good play by Henderson.
:21:09. > :21:17.Suarez puts it in the net, but it is not going to count. Suarez hit it
:21:18. > :21:18.and was immediately off celebrating. And Phil Dowd equally quickly said
:21:19. > :21:27.that is not going to count. What about this the quick thinking?
:21:28. > :21:34.I think the ball might just be moving. I am not sure. But what a
:21:35. > :21:37.finish it was. The ball is just about emotion. It is a fantastic
:21:38. > :21:43.piece of thinking and brilliant execution. -- just about in motion.
:21:44. > :21:46.The referee is looking the other way when he takes it, but he did
:21:47. > :21:50.immediately say it isn't going to count.
:21:51. > :22:08.Watcom trusting seasons they have had. -- what contrasting.
:22:09. > :22:16.Oh, it is an own goal. Martin Skrtel has put the ball into the back of
:22:17. > :22:19.his own net. It is his fourth own goal this season. And Newcastle have
:22:20. > :22:33.the lead at Anfield. It is a good build-up. Martin Skrtel
:22:34. > :22:41.sticks of a foot out and deflects it at a pace beyond Mignolet and into
:22:42. > :22:43.the corner of his own net. Own goals against Hull City, West Ham, Swansea
:22:44. > :23:01.and now Newcastle this season. Yug Gouffran could make it a two!
:23:02. > :23:08.Mignolet makes the save. And Vernon Anita goes high into the cop.
:23:09. > :23:09.Beautifully played by Newcastle. Gouffran just couldn't find the
:23:10. > :23:19.finish. I don't think anyone entertained
:23:20. > :23:25.Newcastle winning here but that is what is happening.
:23:26. > :23:39.When Daniel Sturridge heads wide from that range, you have got to
:23:40. > :23:43.think it might not be your day. In behind the defence almost for the
:23:44. > :24:01.first time, Liverpool, and Sturridge, goal gaping, header wide.
:24:02. > :24:07.Raheem Sterling caught by Vernon Anita. The card is coming out for
:24:08. > :24:24.the Newcastle midfielder. Back post is Daniel Agger! And it is
:24:25. > :24:28.in. Liverpool are level, it is their 100th league goal of the season, the
:24:29. > :24:35.first time they have achieved that since 1896. And Daniel Agger scores
:24:36. > :24:38.the equaliser, from a very tight angle. Good piece of athleticism.
:24:39. > :24:57.And Liverpool are level. Liverpool free kick again. Tiote's
:24:58. > :25:04.reaction is going to get him in the referee's notebook. Well, just as
:25:05. > :25:10.Liverpool were looking bereft of ideas, they just upped the tempo a
:25:11. > :25:16.bit. They found an equaliser and the crowd has found its voice.
:25:17. > :25:28.And it is in! Daniel Sturridge for Liverpool. Two goals in two
:25:29. > :25:33.minutes, and Liverpool are in front. Two very similar goals.
:25:34. > :25:37.Steven Gerrard's free kick. It is almost Groundhog Day. For Daniel
:25:38. > :25:59.Agger, read Sturridge. There has been a card here shown to
:26:00. > :26:05.Shola Ameobi. I am not sure, but as Newcastle regrouped, Shola Ameobi
:26:06. > :26:09.has been shown a second yellow card, and is sent off.
:26:10. > :26:17.Well, he was booked as they were regrouping to kick off, for dissent,
:26:18. > :26:22.I can only imagine, and the debate continued, and Shola Ameobi has been
:26:23. > :26:24.sent off and Newcastle have now had players sent off in each of their
:26:25. > :26:34.last four games against Liverpool. Sammy Ameobi almost wriggling
:26:35. > :26:58.through. Free kick. Henderson forward to Suarez. He is
:26:59. > :27:06.claiming a free kick, Luis Suarez and he has one, against Paul
:27:07. > :27:10.Dummett. There is a defender behind Dummett. Suarez hasn't really got
:27:11. > :27:15.that under control. It has hit him on the back of the leg. It is a red
:27:16. > :27:25.card! And Newcastle are down to nine. The substitute has been sent
:27:26. > :27:26.off. What is it about Newcastle and Liverpool? Four off in the last five
:27:27. > :27:37.meetings. There is the whistle. Seldom has
:27:38. > :27:47.such a remarkable season finished without silverware. But Brendan
:27:48. > :27:51.Rodgers' Liverpool have won 26 games out of 38. They have scored three or
:27:52. > :28:00.more 21 times, but they are only runners-up.
:28:01. > :28:03.You take your hat to Manchester City. You know we know they have a
:28:04. > :28:09.huge squad of multitalented players and I am just extremely proud of my
:28:10. > :28:12.club, the supporters over the course of the season have really been given
:28:13. > :28:16.that chance to dream in the hope that we can challenge and we have
:28:17. > :28:20.done that right to the last kick. You have to argue that the referee
:28:21. > :28:24.has played a part today. I didn't think the first free kick they
:28:25. > :28:30.scored from was a free kick. I have seen Phil Dowd about his explanation
:28:31. > :28:32.for sending Ameobi. I know he doesn't swear. He booked him for
:28:33. > :28:38.dissent for challenging the free kick, and the version is that he
:28:39. > :28:47.said "do you want to be to send you off? " And he did. And Paul is a
:28:48. > :28:55.young lad, that was not a sending off. We are proud of the staff and
:28:56. > :29:01.the club, we have achieved what we wanted to, but to go so close, it is
:29:02. > :29:05.difficult. We have had a difficult second half of the season, and me
:29:06. > :29:10.personally, and we are not far away and if we can recruit strongly, we
:29:11. > :29:14.will come back strongly. It has taken me until I'm 33 to have a
:29:15. > :29:18.proper genuine title race. This squad is very young and the
:29:19. > :29:21.experience those lads are going to get from this roller-coaster, as you
:29:22. > :29:25.described it, is going to be very important, because I believe the
:29:26. > :29:31.title is not far away if we continue to produce performances like this
:29:32. > :29:35.season. Keep trying, Stevie. Alan, when you retire 24 years ago, you
:29:36. > :29:39.were the last captain to lift the title for Liverpool. I bet you
:29:40. > :29:43.didn't think that 24 years on, you would still be waiting? Not at all.
:29:44. > :29:51.When we won the title in 1990 and did the lap of honour, it was muted
:29:52. > :29:56.applause, whereas this season, they would have gone ballistic. They took
:29:57. > :30:00.it for granted. Almost, yes. The season, they were so close, but the
:30:01. > :30:03.pleasure they have given everybody, especially at Anfield, you cannot
:30:04. > :30:06.believe the football they were playing and the goals they were
:30:07. > :30:11.scoring and the excitement. This explosion of pace, with five front
:30:12. > :30:14.players that were just so difficult to pick up. Suarez at the top, who
:30:15. > :30:27.obviously one footballer of the year. It was enthralling to watch.
:30:28. > :30:31.There was that good run. Fantastic run.
:30:32. > :30:34.Up to Christmas we were thinking, well, Champions League would be
:30:35. > :30:44.fine, this incredible run where they just blew everybody away, I think it
:30:45. > :30:48.was 11 wins and a draw before after they beat Man City and it wasn't
:30:49. > :30:53.just winning them, it was the way they won them. Everton came to
:30:54. > :30:57.Anfield with expectation and Liverpool blew them away pace and
:30:58. > :31:01.quality. This is Sturridge. Then Arsenal came and were top of the
:31:02. > :31:07.table. You couldn't believe what we were saying, four up in the first 20
:31:08. > :31:10.minute, could have been seven. Then when the questions were asked,
:31:11. > :31:15.tricky away game at Southampton, they were answering them more than
:31:16. > :31:19.emphatically. The next game was at Old Trafford, probably the biggest
:31:20. > :31:27.rivals, and they blew them out the water. At that stage, it was the
:31:28. > :31:31.thinking that Liverpool could have been winning the title, they were
:31:32. > :31:34.that good. Back to 2-2 with Man City, the late win fresh Coutinho
:31:35. > :31:36.and the thing about that goal was that it was now in their own hands.
:31:37. > :31:50.Look at the caption there. It begs the question, does this
:31:51. > :31:54.season go down as a success or a failure? Oh, it's an absolute
:31:55. > :31:58.failure, an absolute failure. Get into that position with four games
:31:59. > :32:02.to go. If you would have gone in the dressing room today they wouldn't be
:32:03. > :32:05.celebrating anything. It will be massive disappointment. He's
:32:06. > :32:09.received a lot of plaudits for the style and the great football they've
:32:10. > :32:15.played, but does he receive an element of the blame? Well, you
:32:16. > :32:18.would do, but I mean, I think you cannot give them all the praise in
:32:19. > :32:23.the world for playing one way then when it goes wrong say you shouldn't
:32:24. > :32:27.have played that way. What I said before about Manchester City, it's
:32:28. > :32:30.like they have got to redefine the structure a bit that when they have
:32:31. > :32:35.got in front at times, they have got to sit back. Crystal Palace was a
:32:36. > :32:38.great example of that. There were warning signs about this. Against
:32:39. > :32:44.Manchester City, 2-0 up, they didn't have the ball for 30 minutes, then
:32:45. > :32:51.against Norwich, you know, 3-1 up, comes back to 3-2 in the 80th
:32:52. > :32:54.minute. A great save by Mignolet and against Chelsea, everybody said
:32:55. > :32:58.about Chelsea, Liverpool didn't play well on the day. Their passing was
:32:59. > :33:03.off, the big players didn't play that well and subsequently they got
:33:04. > :33:09.beaten, you know. You've got Steven Gerrard here, this is a poor pass.
:33:10. > :33:13.Ran out of steam a bit? Well, I just think because they had this great
:33:14. > :33:17.run, and Alan will tell you, you can't play well every time you go on
:33:18. > :33:22.the pitch. Suarez is the best player and he had not a great day. Against
:33:23. > :33:28.Crystal Palace, 3-0 up, come back to 3-1 with this goal, a bit naive
:33:29. > :33:32.trying to go for broke and, you could never envisage what was going
:33:33. > :33:36.to happen in the next five or six minutes to get back to 3-3. So I
:33:37. > :33:39.think at the start of the season you would have bitten your hand off to
:33:40. > :33:44.get second and be in the Champions League, but I think four games to
:33:45. > :33:50.go, you've got the title on your own hands, it's failure. He's certain of
:33:51. > :33:54.his team, are you certain of your team, Newcastle? If they hadn't seen
:33:55. > :33:59.any football, you come back at the league and see Newcastle at mid
:34:00. > :34:03.table, you would think it's an improvement on the last year but
:34:04. > :34:07.they have been disastrous the last five months. They need to sign
:34:08. > :34:11.players, they haven't signed one permanently for 18 months. Says a
:34:12. > :34:17.lot. The title returns to Manchester for the fourth year in a row while
:34:18. > :34:44.Liverpool's wait goes on. Eight more games on the way.
:34:45. > :34:49.Before that, it's time to choose your goal of the season, the two
:34:50. > :35:24.Alans have put it down to six. Cazorla. Wilshere. Going for the
:35:25. > :35:29.one-two. Giroud. And Wilshere! Oh that, is simply
:35:30. > :35:38.magnificent. What a move. It really is such a
:35:39. > :35:45.simple game. When simple football is played, it's a simple game when it's
:35:46. > :35:56.played ex-was zitly. -- ex-was zitly. . Exquisitely
:35:57. > :36:01.Brilliant shot into the back of the net and what a goal for Fulham.
:36:02. > :36:06.Cassini's struck a shot from the wicked angle. He took it on the
:36:07. > :36:10.chest, that is a special, special goal. You will not see a better
:36:11. > :36:22.strike from that in the Premier League this season.
:36:23. > :36:29.Suarez. Good effort. That is absolutely stunning.
:36:30. > :36:39.Who else would even have thought of trying it? ! Just look at this.
:36:40. > :36:49.Carroll underneath this one. Diame stretching. It's away. Rooney with
:36:50. > :36:53.the turn and he goes for the extraordinary and oh, it's an
:36:54. > :36:57.unbelievable goal from Wayne Rooney. There's one for the album and
:36:58. > :37:04.there's the man who knows how to score goals like that!
:37:05. > :37:13.And Rooney's improvisation catching out Adrian.
:37:14. > :37:19.Four to aim for in the middle. O'Shea. Tettey. What a shot! What a
:37:20. > :37:25.goal! What a goal! Alexander Tettey. What
:37:26. > :37:37.a strike. Awesome from the Norwegian.
:37:38. > :37:48.Shelvey will go for it! Jonjo Shelvey with a spectacular
:37:49. > :37:52.finish. Out of the very top drawer, Shelvey
:37:53. > :37:58.with the perfect execution. He didn't even look at the target, he
:37:59. > :38:04.just knew instinctively what he wanted to do.
:38:05. > :38:15.The decision is yours, you can vote via the website or by Twitter.
:38:16. > :38:22.We'll announce the winner at the end of the show.
:38:23. > :38:26.Just one outstanding issue still to be settled. Could Spurs get the
:38:27. > :38:35.point they needed to secure a place in next season's Europa League? John
:38:36. > :38:44.Motson watched this one against Aston Villa.
:38:45. > :38:52.Tim Sherwood likened how he's been treated to a teacher rather than a
:38:53. > :38:58.headmaster. Lennon joins a long injury list.
:38:59. > :39:02.Villa's owner is due to make a statement this week. He may decide
:39:03. > :39:10.to sell the club. Paul Lambert's side need new investment either way.
:39:11. > :39:15.Villa haven't got a good record against Tottenham in the league
:39:16. > :39:23.games they have played. They haven't beaten them in their last ten.
:39:24. > :39:30.Alessandro initially. Naughton took advantage from coming back from
:39:31. > :39:32.rightback. Adebayor coming in from the far
:39:33. > :39:47.post. Sigurdsson. Nice turn. Oh, and Palinho is going
:39:48. > :39:51.to score -- Paulinho. The Brazilian puts Tottenham Hotspur ahead at
:39:52. > :39:55.White Hart Lane in their final game. It was slick by Tottenham. Two or
:39:56. > :40:06.three good passes around the penalty area. Guzan got his hands to the
:40:07. > :40:11.ball, but Paulinho powered up, had a go, a second go, then powered it in.
:40:12. > :40:15.He's put Tim Sherwood's side ahead in what could be their last game
:40:16. > :40:27.together. As things stand, Spurs are in the
:40:28. > :40:33.Europa League next season. Rose. Ericsson.
:40:34. > :40:38.Near post ball stayed in play. Danny Rose with the cross and it's
:40:39. > :40:49.gone in. Adebayor. Well, it was a bit of an accident in
:40:50. > :40:57.the end. Villa reel which with their own worst enemies there -- really
:40:58. > :41:02.were their own worst enemies there. It took a long time to come back in.
:41:03. > :41:07.They are given an own goal by Nathan Baker who's had many of those in his
:41:08. > :41:11.career. Adebayor was certainly the threat there.
:41:12. > :41:20.Oh, what a great ball for Harry Kane by Ericsson and he just got caught
:41:21. > :41:24.because he was a about to shoot by Delph and it would have been 3-0 to
:41:25. > :41:30.Tottenham. Good through-ball. Just got to it,
:41:31. > :41:35.Delph. Ericsson will take the corner.
:41:36. > :41:39.Oh and it's Alessandro. There may have been an arm up there, the
:41:40. > :41:43.referee has given Tottenham a penalty.
:41:44. > :41:51.Well, it's all going Tottenham's way here. A penalty out of nothing here.
:41:52. > :41:57.I don't quite know whether Agbonlahor meant to handle that, but
:41:58. > :42:03.a penalty's been given. Adebayor to take it.
:42:04. > :42:07.He scores and it's 3-0 spurs in the first half.
:42:08. > :42:11.Tim Sherwood has reason to feel pleased. He wanted to send the fans
:42:12. > :42:18.home happy for the summer and it looks as though he's going to do
:42:19. > :42:25.that. Harry Kane.
:42:26. > :42:37.In the middle here is Agbonlahor for Aston Villa and that was their best
:42:38. > :42:41.move of the match. Delph has probably been Villa's most
:42:42. > :42:45.dangerous. Tim Sherwood is giving this fan the thrill of a lifetime as
:42:46. > :42:51.he takes his seat on the Tottenham frontbench!
:42:52. > :42:55.Very nice gesture by Sherwood that. That guy sits up there every week
:42:56. > :43:00.you know and he's telling me, get him off he's rubbish, he's an
:43:01. > :43:05.embarrassment, he's an expert you know, so I invited him to come and
:43:06. > :43:11.show us. Where is he in the betting for the new manager? He's English.
:43:12. > :43:18.Lot of talk about an announcement. How's it been for you work around
:43:19. > :43:22.that uncertainty? It's been fine. I think people are thinking about what
:43:23. > :43:25.the chairman is going to say. It's his club and he'll say what he's
:43:26. > :43:31.going to say and myself and the players are get on with it. When I
:43:32. > :43:35.look back, it's an inceebl achievement to stay in the league. I
:43:36. > :43:39.love doing this job, you know. My life is easier if I was ant football
:43:40. > :43:43.manager but I want to be involved in football, always have been, it's all
:43:44. > :43:48.I know and I know I want to continue doing it. It's been a bit different
:43:49. > :43:53.at times, but in many ways, he's a breath of fresh air and hasn't done
:43:54. > :43:57.a bad job with Tottenham? So I think he had a hard job and he steadied
:43:58. > :44:00.the ship and he has the players playing for him and he's done a
:44:01. > :44:04.remarkably good job. It begs the question, what does he need to do to
:44:05. > :44:07.keep the job, obviously win more matches but they should give him a
:44:08. > :44:11.chance, I think so anyway. They have not treated him brilliantly, not let
:44:12. > :44:14.him know what is going on. Considering how long he's been
:44:15. > :44:21.there, he deserves a bit more respect I think. Similar scenario at
:44:22. > :44:25.Aston Villa, Paul Lambert under pressure? The rumour is that the own
:44:26. > :44:29.Searle looking to sell and the sooner they find out the better
:44:30. > :44:32.because they flirted with relegation last year and have been flirting
:44:33. > :44:35.again this year. They have got a lot of inexperienced young guys in that
:44:36. > :44:40.team. Need a bit more experience in there. OK. Well, Norwich still had a
:44:41. > :44:45.mathematical chance of avoiding relegation but to do so, they needed
:44:46. > :44:48.to beat Arsenal and overturn a 17-goal deficit on West Brom. It
:44:49. > :44:50.would have been a lot higher in the running order if that had occurred.
:44:51. > :45:03.Dank was at Carrow Road. If you are looking for a miracle, it
:45:04. > :45:10.won't be today. Norwich need an 18 goal swing to avoid relegation, that
:45:11. > :45:15.is one more than they have scored here all season. Nathan Redmond
:45:16. > :45:26.comes into Whitaker, L Manda leads the line --Yarn Manda. Kieran Gibbs
:45:27. > :45:32.returns Ross Perot. Jack Wilshere is fit and on the bench, that is great
:45:33. > :45:34.news for Roy Hodgson. One point from four for Neil Adams so far, but
:45:35. > :45:41.point against Chelsea last Sunday. Redmond with the shot! Draws a fine
:45:42. > :46:02.save from Fabianski. Malky Mackay was linked with the
:46:03. > :46:05.Norwich job in the last few days, a former player here. We'll Neil Adams
:46:06. > :46:09.stay next season as the full-time boss or in a coaching role under
:46:10. > :46:20.someone like Malky Mackay? We will see.
:46:21. > :46:27.John Ruddy, big and strong, visit the way. He has had to have a good
:46:28. > :46:51.season -- beads it away. Olivier Giroud! John Ruddy again
:46:52. > :46:53.comes to the Canaries' rescue. The gunners are starting to pick their
:46:54. > :47:11.moves and pick their chances. Giroud on the turn, and once again,
:47:12. > :47:27.John Ruddy is therefore Norwich. A busy goalkeeper, an impressive
:47:28. > :47:28.goalkeeper so far. A bit of "look at me" for Roy Hodgson here from John
:47:29. > :47:52.Ruddy. Giroud looks for Aaron Ramsey! What
:47:53. > :47:57.a finish! What a finish. And the man who began the season in such stellar
:47:58. > :48:00.form and then got injured, had he been fit for the full campaign, what
:48:01. > :48:07.might have been for Arsenal, I wonder. Aaron Ramsey with a dream, a
:48:08. > :48:12.peach of a volley, and the Gunners are in front. Giroud makes it and
:48:13. > :48:18.how does Ramsey finish it? It is a wonderful goal. No team has led the
:48:19. > :48:22.table for longer than the Gunners this season, this is a one that got
:48:23. > :48:40.away campaign for them. Kieran Gibbs into Podolski... And
:48:41. > :48:46.Jenkinson has his first ever senior goal. The left back makes it, the
:48:47. > :48:54.writeback scores it. And . Carl Jenkinson, signed from
:48:55. > :48:56.Charlton three years ago, never scored for anybody before today. Now
:48:57. > :49:32.he has. Beating away from Fabianski. Looking
:49:33. > :49:37.for his first Norwich goal in his first Norwich game. The young man
:49:38. > :49:42.bought in Jamaica. And a shot which draws the best from Fabianski. The
:49:43. > :49:45.result does mean that Norwich are confirmed as relegated. It has been
:49:46. > :49:50.on the cards for a while, but now we can save the sure that after three
:49:51. > :49:51.top-flight years, the Canaries are back in the Championship.
:49:52. > :49:56.back in Was the damage done long before you
:49:57. > :50:03.came in for those final games? Of course, it is a 38 game season and
:50:04. > :50:06.you need to pick up enough points over those games. We are in the
:50:07. > :50:11.bottom three and the analysis will be done by everybody who needs to do
:50:12. > :50:15.that. I am not passing the buck, but it is a 38 game season and you have
:50:16. > :50:21.to pick up points. I am pleased because we got a clean sheet. It is
:50:22. > :50:27.the 17th, I think, in the season, and our 11th away win, that is the
:50:28. > :50:33.best so overall, I believe we have been consistent away from home.
:50:34. > :50:37.Arsenal fourth, we have heard that before in recent times. Aaron
:50:38. > :50:41.Ramsey, goal of the season contender! A couple of seasons ago,
:50:42. > :50:46.much maligned and this season, they missed him so badly when he wasn't
:50:47. > :50:50.playing. He has scored some spectacular goals this season but
:50:51. > :50:54.this is fantastic. The technique is brilliant, I on the ball. Speaking
:50:55. > :51:02.at the way he takes a couple of steps back. So he is in a position
:51:03. > :51:08.to hit it. They have missed him massively. Norwich are down, of
:51:09. > :51:12.course. Simple to work out why, they can't score. 28 goals. Only three
:51:13. > :51:18.teams in Premier League history have scored less. Gary Hooper and Ricky
:51:19. > :51:23.Van Wolfswinkel, seven goals between them, ?15 million. It is not good
:51:24. > :51:29.enough. And another team who we don't know who the manager will be
:51:30. > :51:33.next season. Apparently, they might announce it next week. Malky Mackay
:51:34. > :51:37.is available after sorting out his compensation at Cardiff, so he is
:51:38. > :51:44.free. They will want to bounce straight back. Yes, good club.
:51:45. > :51:47.Cardiff's return to the top flight proved to be short lived and the
:51:48. > :51:52.Bluebirds bowed out on home turf against Chelsea side that would have
:51:53. > :52:02.to settle for third place in Jose Mourinho's season back in charge. --
:52:03. > :52:12.first season. Craig Bellamy comes back into the
:52:13. > :52:20.side. David Marshall, outstanding this campaign, was voted the Cardiff
:52:21. > :52:23.player of the season. Another start for Kalas the Chelsea, following an
:52:24. > :52:28.impressive display against Liverpool two weeks ago. Ashley Cole captains
:52:29. > :52:37.the visitors in what could be his last appearance for the club.
:52:38. > :52:47.Steven Caulker may very well be playing his last game for Cardiff.
:52:48. > :52:56.Fernando Torres! And away by Steven Caulker. Chelsea so close to taking
:52:57. > :53:02.the lead inside three minutes. Marshall couldn't clear, Torres
:53:03. > :53:06.couldn't finish. Jose Mourinho facing the prospect of finishing
:53:07. > :53:07.outside the top two the first time in his last ten full seasons as
:53:08. > :53:35.manager. Daehli's touch infield. Gunnarsson,
:53:36. > :53:43.Whittingham... Craig Bellamy shoots and a deflection and it is in! And
:53:44. > :53:48.Cardiff City league Chelsea. Craig Bellamy, the Cardiff born player,
:53:49. > :53:52.gets his second goal of the season and the already relegated club lead
:53:53. > :53:56.the Champions League semifinalists. It always looked as though Bellamy
:53:57. > :54:02.was going to have a crack on goal from distance, from the moment he
:54:03. > :54:07.turned. And it comes off Azpilicueta and flies past Mark Schwarzer. Is it
:54:08. > :54:09.on target? Possibly. Craig Bellamy will claim it, absolutely no doubt
:54:10. > :54:26.about it. Chance for Oscar, which he doesn't
:54:27. > :54:32.take. Shaping to shoot but diverted wide by Turner. Cardiff Rono Vincent
:54:33. > :54:36.Tan told the BBC this weekend that he would consider changing their
:54:37. > :54:37.colours back to blue, but only if they were promoted back to the
:54:38. > :54:53.Premier League -- Cardiff owner. It looked to be an impossible task
:54:54. > :54:57.for Fraizer Campbell. Look how many defenders are ahead of him. He got
:54:58. > :55:11.past them but couldn't keep the shot down.
:55:12. > :55:17.Azpilicueta! Brilliant save by Marshall. Against the bar by
:55:18. > :55:24.Azpilicueta and eventually in by Andre Schurrle. On as a substitute,
:55:25. > :55:29.he makes it one -1. Azpilicueta almost getting his team back on
:55:30. > :55:33.level terms. It is a brilliant save from Marshall to deny the defender,
:55:34. > :55:36.who then strikes the bar from the rebound and Marshall a little
:55:37. > :55:40.unlucky that the ball bounces up over him from Andre Schurrle.
:55:41. > :55:49.Chelsea back on level terms. That is much better from Jose
:55:50. > :55:50.Mourinho's team and having got the equaliser, what lies in store in the

:01:57. > :02:08.intentional? A calm and collected Manchester
:02:09. > :02:20.United in the second half. Won a free kick here for a very clumsy and
:02:21. > :02:27.needless challenge on Welbeck. Manchester United have the talent to
:02:28. > :02:33.make Southampton pay for that error? Oh, what a super effort, and
:02:34. > :02:37.Manchester United are level. They started the second half so

:04:28. > :04:32.hours? Probably the most anxious of my life. It's something that I'll
:04:33. > :04:36.always remember for the rest of my life. What happens next, are you
:04:37. > :04:40.still as much in the dark as everybody else? I'll chat with the
:04:41. > :04:45.appropriate people this week and I'm sure there'll be a statement soon

:04:53. > :04:57.Manchester United. One he'll remember? He will remember it for
:04:58. > :05:01.the wrong reasons. He's been a tremendous servant to Manchester
:05:02. > :05:05.United. One of the great centre backs of the Premier League. This is
:05:06. > :05:11.definitely handball. He's lucky he gets away with it, not so lucky with
:05:12. > :05:15.the next incident. I don't think it's intentional at all. His eye is
:05:16. > :05:24.on the ball. It's unfortunate, unlucky, these things happen, but it
:05:25. > :05:32.was a nasty one. A brilliant finish from Ricky Lambert though. He whips
:05:33. > :05:37.it in. E talked about incredibly tense times for players like Lambert
:05:38. > :05:43.waiting for that phone call. Should he go? Yes. Yes. Yes, he should go,
:05:44. > :05:50.absolutely. He's good in the air as well. He can take a penalty! Which
:05:51. > :05:54.might be needed. Reports tonight that Manchester United have made a
:05:55. > :05:58.?27 million bid for Luke Shaw as well. He's in the news, we assume
:05:59. > :06:02.he's on the plane because Ashley Cole isn't? It's a matter of how
:06:03. > :06:09.many players Southampton are going to sell. That is a shame for the
:06:10. > :06:12.club and the fans, that they need to sell and they have got a good side
:06:13. > :06:17.of young players and they have got to sell them all. OK, we have
:06:18. > :06:23.mentioned the England players and the World Cup is just 32 days away.
:06:24. > :06:28.This is it, Brazil 2014. Imagine, the World Cup in Brazil!
:06:29. > :06:37.It's going to be fantastic. Neymar. Messi. Ronaldo. Let's go...
:06:38. > :06:43.To Brazil? Why not? How? We'll find a way. It's a long way on little
:06:44. > :06:45.legs. It's a once in a lifetime chance. Let's do it, we've got four
:06:46. > :07:01.weeks. Wow, it's big isn't it? No, you're
:07:02. > :07:13.tiny. Taxi! Keeper's. Said we'd find a way. How
:07:14. > :07:22.lucky is this. I might get to meet the real Gary Lineker.
:07:23. > :07:25.Don't ask me? ! FA Cup Finalist Hull Hull ended their league campaign
:07:26. > :07:31.with a home match against Everton, both sides went into the game having
:07:32. > :07:44.already recover recording their highest points tally. -- already
:07:45. > :07:49.recorded their highest points tally. McGregor's season could have been
:07:50. > :07:55.over after a sickening rib injury in March. Jelavic faces hiss former
:07:56. > :08:00.club for the first time. Lukaku completes another successful
:08:01. > :08:05.year-long loan as Everton's top scorer. Where will he be next
:08:06. > :08:10.season? The three changes for the visitors and, among today's
:08:11. > :08:12.absentees, Stones and Barclay ahead of the World Cup announcement
:08:13. > :08:25.tomorrow. Lukaku.
:08:26. > :08:35.Towards Naismith. Terrific ball in as well. Saved by
:08:36. > :08:43.McGregor. Lukaku. McGregor got both hands to
:08:44. > :08:49.it. Gently fell over the line. On the
:08:50. > :08:55.final day of the season. McCarthy opens his scoring account. Looked as
:08:56. > :09:01.though he hadn't when McGregor saved it but couldn't prevent it going
:09:02. > :09:18.over the line and Everton open the scoreline.
:09:19. > :09:23.Jelavic. Just over the top of it and only just.
:09:24. > :09:28.Looked as though Jelavic was going to stretch himself out and reach
:09:29. > :09:34.this. Almost did. I wonder if he has made up his mind
:09:35. > :09:43.who'll play next weekend already. And whether there are any decisions
:09:44. > :09:45.to be made. McGeady. Taken by McCarthy.
:09:46. > :10:16.Tries to find Lukaku. Did get to it. Lukaku scores. Terrific start to the
:10:17. > :10:20.second half for Everton. Lukaku's looked lively throughout and Everton
:10:21. > :10:25.in the first minute of the second period. They have surely already
:10:26. > :10:33.done enough to win. Simple goal. Couple of incisive passes. Lukaku
:10:34. > :10:38.with one of those telling runs. Too strong for McShane and too strong
:10:39. > :10:43.for McGregor. And he grabs his 16th goal of the season, his Sath in the
:10:44. > :11:07.Premier League. -- 15th in the Premier League. Here is Naismith.
:11:08. > :11:14.Hull city player of the season up from the back.
:11:15. > :11:20.Well, he should have got that. Last league goal of the campaign would
:11:21. > :11:23.have been fitting had it been player of the season. He won the fans award
:11:24. > :11:36.and team-mates award. The City supporters want a
:11:37. > :11:38.grandstand finale here. The momentum is going to be truly
:11:39. > :12:00.building at this point. It's been a demanding campaign and
:12:01. > :12:05.you can understand that maybe we dropped, but that wasn't the case. I
:12:06. > :12:09.thought the team made sure that we finished really strongly to finish
:12:10. > :12:13.the season with 15 clean sheets and 72 points is a remarkable season. We
:12:14. > :12:16.have been safe with two games to go, I didn't think that was going to be
:12:17. > :12:20.possible at the start of the season so we've got to a Cup Final, it's
:12:21. > :12:23.had the huge distraction that I thought it might. Mind you, you
:12:24. > :12:28.could say we've had nothing to play for and the human brain switches
:12:29. > :12:32.off. Unfortunately we have done that, so we are in bright and early
:12:33. > :12:36.tomorrow and we have to get ourselves ready because we are
:12:37. > :12:42.playing the Cup Final next week so need to get back on the gas. Great
:12:43. > :12:48.day out for Hull City? Great. They have had a great season. Never been
:12:49. > :12:53.in danger of relegation and, as Steve says, Cup Final. Everton,
:12:54. > :12:56.Lukaku scoring there, he's been a great on-loan signer, possibly his
:12:57. > :13:05.last game, interesting to see what happens? This is a great team goal
:13:06. > :13:13.and Martinez has had a terrific time, Martinez tried to win every
:13:14. > :13:19.game. The passing and moving here is exceptional. Osman plays a great
:13:20. > :13:27.through-ball to Lukaku who's been a great loan signing and the two loan
:13:28. > :13:32.signings, for Everton, they have been as good as they get.
:13:33. > :13:37.The big question is, will they be able to keep them at the end of the
:13:38. > :13:42.season? Do you think Chelsea should get Lukaku in? They have struggled
:13:43. > :13:47.with strikers? Great move for Lukaku. I think Chelsea have missed
:13:48. > :13:51.a different option at times. I still need to be convinced he'll talk
:13:52. > :13:54.Chelsea to where they want to go which is ultimately the Champions
:13:55. > :13:58.League. OK. Sunderland's Great Escape from relegation was confirmed
:13:59. > :14:04.with victory over West Brom on Wednesday. Could they make it five
:14:05. > :14:06.in a row against Swansea who this week confirmed Gary Monk will manage
:14:07. > :14:16.them next season. Borini was part of the team that
:14:17. > :14:21.helped Swansea into the Premier League. He's played a major part in
:14:22. > :14:33.Sunderland staying in it as he plays the final game of his loan spell.
:14:34. > :14:36.He's been in tandem with Wickham. Bonni's goals have been pivotal in
:14:37. > :14:48.Swansea's survival. It was in the North East that
:14:49. > :14:53.Newcastle, and it was absolutely pivotal in their survival mission in
:14:54. > :14:57.the end, that Routledge... Oh, beautifully weighted into Dyer and
:14:58. > :15:01.Swansea are in front the inside seven minutes.
:15:02. > :15:04.The party atmosphere's been dampened early on at the Stadium of Light.
:15:05. > :15:06.Look at the weight of pass. First touch was good, second was a
:15:07. > :15:14.clinical one. Sunderland have played the last five
:15:15. > :15:30.games with such intensity. Marvin Emnes with a lovely turn and
:15:31. > :15:41.a good chance... To nil! -- 2-0! Swansea haven't read the party
:15:42. > :15:45.script, they are two goals up. His goalless run has ended in some
:15:46. > :15:54.style. Two goals of real quality bus ones in the opening quarter of an
:15:55. > :16:00.hour. He hammered at home -- for Swansea. Garry Monk says it is very
:16:01. > :16:01.proud moment taking charge as the permanent manager of Swansea the
:16:02. > :16:13.first time today. Off the post and cleared by Taylor.
:16:14. > :16:20.It was phased in by Sebastien Larsson and there is the touch and
:16:21. > :16:32.then off the post. Sunderland are beginning to have more possession.
:16:33. > :16:39.It needed touching on the way through by Tremmel. Phil Bardsley on
:16:40. > :16:40.his 200th and possibly final appearance for Sunderland with the
:16:41. > :16:59.shot. Johnson's delivery, good header!
:17:00. > :17:04.They have won back and it is Fabio Borini again, his fourth goal in
:17:05. > :17:09.five games, in his last appearance on loan for the club. Good
:17:10. > :17:13.movement, good contact, Tremmel couldn't keep it out. And the
:17:14. > :17:16.Stadium of Light are pleased to see that.
:17:17. > :17:32.Still Johnson, beaten away by Tremmel. That has certainly lifted
:17:33. > :17:41.Sunderland, it has lifted the crowd. Almost two goals in a minute.
:17:42. > :17:52.Swansea have bodies forward. Marvin Emnes to his left. Here is the
:17:53. > :18:00.Dutchman. Bony in the centre. Still Bony. And it is 3-1! Wilfred Bony
:18:01. > :18:06.with his 16th Premier League goal in his debut season restores Swansea's
:18:07. > :18:14.two goal cushion. The Swansea player of the year, their man of the
:18:15. > :18:19.moment, took his time and a -- scented pasta men only. Where would
:18:20. > :18:29.they be without his 16 league goals -- sent it past Vincent Benoni.
:18:30. > :18:36.Tremmel got across just in time. Win, lose or draw, they are
:18:37. > :18:40.determined to enjoy and celebrate the fact that, from nowhere, they
:18:41. > :18:44.are staying in the Premier League. The way we have had this season, the
:18:45. > :18:48.ups and downs, the change of manager, we had to finish on a
:18:49. > :18:53.positive and take it into the summer and come back like that next season.
:18:54. > :18:59.The newspapers have speculation about your future. It is natural in
:19:00. > :19:05.England. Even when you do a little bit, not a lot, a little bit, they
:19:06. > :19:08.say this is an opportunity. I am concentrating on here, that we do
:19:09. > :19:12.the right things in the summer and we make no mistakes and give
:19:13. > :19:15.ourselves a better chance next year. A good end to the season for both
:19:16. > :19:22.sides, better than Swansea today, because they came out good winners.
:19:23. > :19:25.Yes, they have won three of their last four matches. At one stage,
:19:26. > :19:30.they looked like they were in massive trouble. I saw them play at
:19:31. > :19:39.Anfield and they lost 4-3, but I was impressed with the way they play.
:19:40. > :19:44.Bony is big and strong, can play, scores goals, a perfect combination.
:19:45. > :19:50.And Garry Monk has been given the job permanently. He has earned it.
:19:51. > :19:53.Rightly so, he has a great record. They were in trouble and he got them
:19:54. > :19:58.playing and it looks like they were too good to go down. It must please
:19:59. > :20:03.you to see Sunderland doing well? Believe me, it does. It is good for
:20:04. > :20:07.the north-east. There were seven points adrift a month ago, it shows
:20:08. > :20:11.you the job they have done, going to Chelsea and City Man United, picking
:20:12. > :20:17.up points. Five points clear of third bottom. That is the beauty of
:20:18. > :20:21.the Premier League, a team in big trouble can go to these teams and
:20:22. > :20:26.win. The Premier League said farewell to Fulham this season after
:20:27. > :20:30.13 seasons in the top flight. The visitors were Crystal Palace, whose
:20:31. > :20:34.points against Liverpool meant they could finish no longer than -- no
:20:35. > :20:39.lower than 11th. Felix Magath looks to future already
:20:40. > :20:50.in making five changes today. Among them coming, 19-year-old forward
:20:51. > :20:55.Woodrow. Dwight Gayle's reward for two goals against Liverpool in the
:20:56. > :20:58.remarkable draw is a start and Tony Pulis gives a debut to Wayne
:20:59. > :21:05.Hennessey and goal, a mid-season arrival from Wolves. -- in goal.
:21:06. > :21:13.What about Crystal Palace, what a season and what a turnaround.
:21:14. > :21:25.Good effort, Gale was there -- Dwight Gayle was there. No flag, and
:21:26. > :21:32.he scores the first goal today. He wasn't offside. And it was the death
:21:33. > :21:37.list of touches to just divert the ball beyond David Stockdale.
:21:38. > :21:43.Well, the flag is still there, Fulham now have to believe they can
:21:44. > :21:49.get back to the Premier League in double quick time.
:21:50. > :22:01.It will be a corner. The home crowd are trying to lift their team.
:22:02. > :22:13.Rodallega! Denied by the post. And it was backing of the head of
:22:14. > :22:24.Amorebieta and it is off to safety via the post.
:22:25. > :22:34.Callee Woodrow trying to create an opening and he has! He has found the
:22:35. > :22:38.back of the net, Woodrow, part of the future for Fulham, scores his
:22:39. > :22:44.first goal for the club. Half an hour to go and we have a game on our
:22:45. > :22:47.hands now. Woodrow, who has worked hard throughout the match, given the
:22:48. > :22:55.opportunity. Picked his spot and found the corner. And Fulham fans
:22:56. > :22:59.will be hoping that is the first of many over the seasons to come.
:23:00. > :23:03.Fulham at least look a bit more purposeful.
:23:04. > :23:13.Fulham are looking for a penalty, but Kevin Friend is not interested.
:23:14. > :23:16.Delaney gives him an earful. He wasn't touched at all, that was a
:23:17. > :23:20.dive and he should be booked for simulation.
:23:21. > :23:27.Fulham have conceded 84 goals in the Premier League this season. Here
:23:28. > :23:29.come Crystal Palace. That is a foul by Scott Parker, not a great spot to
:23:30. > :23:45.give a free kick away. Dwight Gayle strikes it! What a
:23:46. > :23:54.goal! Brilliant goal. His second of the day. Two goals on Monday, two
:23:55. > :23:58.today. Tremendous free kick. And it may well mean that Crystal Palace
:23:59. > :24:07.sign of on a winning note. -- sign off.
:24:08. > :24:16.It is on by Dwight Gayle. Lovely play. Look at the space the
:24:17. > :24:23.punctured. Gail is in lots of space. It is Glenn Murray! And saved by the
:24:24. > :24:33.bar. Crystal Palace coming within a ball's width of a third goal.
:24:34. > :24:40.David with the short! It is in! In the last few seconds of added time,
:24:41. > :24:48.with the rectory almost about to blow the whistle, Chris David finds
:24:49. > :24:54.the top corner -- the referee. It is his first Fulham goal. And what a
:24:55. > :24:57.strike it was as well. Chris David, just like Cauley Woodrow earlier in
:24:58. > :25:05.the afternoon, scores his first goal for Fulham.
:25:06. > :25:11.It gives us hope that it will be better in the future, because, yeah,
:25:12. > :25:20.I think we have played quite well, but we forgot to score. For me, it
:25:21. > :25:25.was a good start in a new area. It would have been a great result to
:25:26. > :25:29.come and win here in a London derby. It was an entertaining game, lots of
:25:30. > :25:33.chances both ends. But I'm really pleased with the players, they have
:25:34. > :25:37.been absolutely wonderful this year. They have done brilliantly,
:25:38. > :25:43.they really have. Dwight Gayle scoring four goals in his last two
:25:44. > :25:47.games. They used to have Ian Wright and Mark Bright and now they have
:25:48. > :25:52.Dwight. That is courtesy of Mark Bright! He has done well. He has
:25:53. > :25:58.kept up his good form. The first finish was just instinctive. Joel
:25:59. > :26:04.Ward tries the spectacular, and a poacher's instinct, decent finish.
:26:05. > :26:10.Right place, right time and a little flick. Seven goals in eight starts,
:26:11. > :26:16.I think. I am not sure what the wall is doing, but he curls it around
:26:17. > :26:23.very nicely. Tony Pulis has done a magnificent job, absolutely
:26:24. > :26:27.magnificent. Brilliant. As for Fulham, a shocker of a season. They
:26:28. > :26:33.lost 85 goals, the second-highest in a 38 league game Premier League
:26:34. > :26:37.history. The worst is 89, so it goes without saying you are in massive
:26:38. > :26:42.trouble before you start. There is no way it will keep you in the
:26:43. > :26:47.division. A number of managers, no stability. It doesn't help, does it?
:26:48. > :26:53.As Alan says, too many goals conceded, too many managers, no
:26:54. > :26:57.stability. Where do you start? Stoke needed just a point from their final
:26:58. > :27:06.game against West Brom to guarantee a top half finish the first time in
:27:07. > :27:09.the Premier League. It is six years since either of these teams tasted
:27:10. > :27:11.victory on the final day of the season. Martin Fisher was there.
:27:12. > :27:15.Sidelined by an Achilles problem, Jonas Olsson returns to West Brom as
:27:16. > :27:19.they waved goodbye to a season to forget. Pepe Mel may be saying his
:27:20. > :27:27.farewells early next week. With little to cheer about, the Albion
:27:28. > :27:30.fans look likely to spend most of the afternoon jeering Peter Arden
:27:31. > :27:43.Wingate, once a hawthorn is here and now a Stoke favourite -- Peter Arden
