:00:38. > :00:43.Evening. We are down to the last four of the capital one cup and
:00:44. > :00:49.tonight we will find out who the remaining sides of you can get their
:00:50. > :00:55.noses ahead. Needless to say, nothing can be won at this stage but
:00:56. > :01:00.plenty can be lost. We are here to reflect on another frantic night of
:01:01. > :01:04.cup football. West Ham pulled off a dramatic smash
:01:05. > :01:10.and grab at Spurs in the last round, coming back from a goal down
:01:11. > :01:16.to win at White Hart Lane. Tonight, the hammers faced a Man City side at
:01:17. > :01:19.the top of their game. While Sunderland recorded the shock of the
:01:20. > :01:23.quarterfinals when they also came from behind to dispose of Chelsea.
:01:24. > :01:29.We will find out how Gus Poyet's side got on in their first leg tie
:01:30. > :01:34.against an out of sorts Manchester United. Let's go straight to the FT
:01:35. > :01:39.had Stadium. City have been in imperious form at home this
:01:40. > :01:43.evening. -- the Etihad Stadium. Would it be a case for damage
:01:44. > :01:47.limitation for Premier League strugglers West Ham, who are in need
:01:48. > :01:54.of a cup of tonic after their defeat to Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup?
:01:55. > :02:03.Two clubs, two games from Wembley, but two teams at the opposite end of
:02:04. > :02:09.the spec informed. West Ham have four defeats in five, their latest,
:02:10. > :02:17.5-0 at Nottingham Forest. City make four changes to their team, which
:02:18. > :02:21.drew at Blackburn the FA Cup. Their last win in this competition was in
:02:22. > :02:27.1976. They have lost three semifinals since, two of them in the
:02:28. > :02:33.last four years. West Ham make a changes after their Forest
:02:34. > :02:35.thrashing. -- eight changes. Roger Johnson, on loan from waltz, makes
:02:36. > :03:15.his hammers debut. A bit of room to run into. Into Yaya
:03:16. > :03:19.Toure. And flicked back into Nasri beautifully! A beautiful position,
:03:20. > :03:24.Zabaleta arising... Into the grateful glance of the West Ham
:03:25. > :03:33.goalie. Some hesitation in the ranks for West Ham here. Yaya Toure back
:03:34. > :03:48.into the rush and then to Samir Nasri. A great ball.
:03:49. > :03:58.A great looking for! Brilliant goal from Negredo! A fantastic goal for
:03:59. > :04:04.Manchester City, who take the lead in the semifinal! Alvaro Negredo
:04:05. > :04:13.with a beautiful left footed volley. Deliciously dispatched. That through
:04:14. > :04:17.ball from Yaya Toure. This is a fabulous goal! What a pass from Yaya
:04:18. > :04:41.Toure! And what execution from Negredo. That is a special goal.
:04:42. > :04:49.Almost wriggled through there. And then wins it back brilliantly. A
:04:50. > :05:00.great tackle by Yaya Toure, who is hurt. Adrian with the save. Not out
:05:01. > :05:05.of the woods yet, West Ham. Still Yaya Toure down, for Manchester
:05:06. > :05:11.City. West Ham can't clear and City are playing on.
:05:12. > :05:22.Nasri shot through the crowd but saved by Adrian! A well hit curler
:05:23. > :05:39.from Nasri but a good saved by the Spanish keeper. -- save.
:05:40. > :05:48.Lovely back into Negredo and here's Negredo for 2-0! 25 minutes played
:05:49. > :06:00.and now Negredo has already fired Manchester City into a 2-goal lead.
:06:01. > :06:12.He has Dzeko here to thank. A lovely touch. Another really good finish.
:06:13. > :06:24.And West Ham are in big trouble after 25 minutes.
:06:25. > :06:35.Well, Sam Allardyce, the recipient of an open letter vote of confidence
:06:36. > :06:44.from the two Davids. He looks like he has stepped out of the polyp
:06:45. > :06:51.bureau tonight! Nasri in on goal, she delays... And miles over the bar
:06:52. > :07:03.from Dzeko. The kind of chance he has been begging for here, really. A
:07:04. > :07:11.bad miss. Credit to Neil Rami -- Noble for making it hard. Sam
:07:12. > :07:19.Allardyce's team are finding it really hard to get the ball. Not the
:07:20. > :07:20.only time that has happened to opposition teams here this season at
:07:21. > :07:33.Eastland 's. And here is Yaya Toure, racing away,
:07:34. > :07:38.Negredo in support. Toure, 3-0! And that might be it! The semifinal
:07:39. > :07:45.might be over before half-time in the first leg because Yaya Toure has
:07:46. > :07:50.put Manchester City three goals up. He ran a mile with this. Inside his
:07:51. > :07:56.own half when he takes it... It is like Forrest. Once he started
:07:57. > :08:05.running, he wasn't going to stop until he had scored. And it is 3-0.
:08:06. > :08:21.And West Ham's worst fears about this semifinal are coming true.
:08:22. > :08:33.Nobody attacking the back post. Didn't look to see who was there.
:08:34. > :08:40.David Silva receives the standing ovation as he goes over to this
:08:41. > :08:45.nearside to take it. Appealing for handball there, Manchester City.
:08:46. > :08:54.Cole's intervention did look suspicious. A deflection on the
:08:55. > :08:57.cross! That is four! And it is a hat-trick for Negredo! His second
:08:58. > :09:03.hat-trick in Manchester City colours. He scored three against
:09:04. > :09:05.CSKA Moscow here in the Champions League, three against West Ham here
:09:06. > :09:21.now in the capital one cup. Negredo being pulled back by Noble.
:09:22. > :09:25.What a brilliant evening he is having, Negredo. Not only in his
:09:26. > :09:40.finishing but all over the park. He has been superb.
:09:41. > :09:52.Dzeko will be jealous, I'm sure, of Negredo's three. More trouble. They
:09:53. > :09:59.think there was a touch from his right foot there. There it is.
:10:00. > :10:06.Demel's right foot rounding on top of Negredo's. David Silva might have
:10:07. > :10:12.a go at this but Yaya Toure would be favourite.
:10:13. > :10:24.Yaya Toure it is... And a foot over the bar. He allows himself a big
:10:25. > :10:36.smile. West Ham need to lift themselves now. The West Ham fans
:10:37. > :10:44.have been noisy throughout but their team is being blown away. And here
:10:45. > :10:51.they come, Dzeko again. And that wasn't far away. Desperate to get
:10:52. > :11:06.his name on the scoresheet. Wasn't too far away with that one.
:11:07. > :11:16.Clichy and it is five! Dzeko finally gets his name on the scoresheet! And
:11:17. > :11:21.Manchester City had a fifth goal on the hour. Well, you doesn't need
:11:22. > :11:28.Andy Carroll to get back in this tie, you needs Lewis. Because that
:11:29. > :11:36.is the realms of fantasy now for West Ham. -- he needs. 5-0 with half
:11:37. > :12:00.an hour to play. Stewart Downing to take this free
:12:01. > :12:09.kick for West Ham. It is a goal kick. Not the happiest
:12:10. > :12:32.of debuts for Roger Johnson. Ooh, Dzeko has his foot in there.
:12:33. > :12:41.Here is neighbour-mack... And deflected off Roger Johnson for a
:12:42. > :12:42.corner. The workrate of Manchester City's front two has just
:12:43. > :13:09.encapsulated them tonight. Great save! Brilliant save to deny
:13:10. > :13:17.Dzeko, and what would have been City's six. Terrific textbook
:13:18. > :13:19.header. All kinds of power and really got the header down but a top
:13:20. > :13:52.save. And Kolarov keeps it in. Substitute
:13:53. > :14:01.looking to make an impact. He finds Nasri. A good save again by Adrian.
:14:02. > :14:06.And he has made a couple of brilliant saves to deny Edin Dzeko.
:14:07. > :14:17.Otherwise he might have had a hat-trick, too.
:14:18. > :14:33.A foul by Diame. His dreams have very much faded and died.
:14:34. > :14:41.A lovely back heel by Marcos Lopes. And that is another, smashed into
:14:42. > :14:52.the roof of the net by Dzeko! And Manchester City have six! And it
:14:53. > :14:59.doesn't flatter them one bit. Another fabulous finish! Look how
:15:00. > :15:00.much room he has, Edin Dzeko. It's terrible defending but a magnificent
:15:01. > :15:25.finish. It has come to Clichy. It is Nasri.
:15:26. > :15:33.And the referee blows his whistle and ends the misery for the moment.
:15:34. > :15:38.West Ham have absolutely no chance of salvaging their semifinal.
:15:39. > :15:46.Negredo with three of them and Yaya Toure with one of them and Negredo.
:15:47. > :15:52.West Ham have been humiliated by Manchester City. They will be going
:15:53. > :16:06.to Wembley for the Cup Final. All that remains is the formality. 6-0!
:16:07. > :16:09.We ended up falling foul to a Manchester City that are great
:16:10. > :16:15.quality and have great talent. And our players, in the end, could not
:16:16. > :16:20.cope with that. That was a brilliant performance, but only because of the
:16:21. > :16:25.six goals but by the way that the team played for those 90 minutes, it
:16:26. > :16:33.does not matter if we have three or four of them but we play in the same
:16:34. > :16:39.way, very balanced. And we always try to score more. You had the
:16:40. > :16:44.unequivocal support of owners on Monday and they have repeated that
:16:45. > :16:52.time and again. Does it annoy you that almost every week, people say,
:16:53. > :16:56.do they really mean it? Well, they really do mean it because we keep
:16:57. > :17:00.communicating and trying to resolve the situation as best we can, which
:17:01. > :17:06.is not easy but we are actively communicating between each other on
:17:07. > :17:10.the injury front and also in trying to bring new players in. I don't
:17:11. > :17:15.think many neutrals were expecting any thing more than one Chester city
:17:16. > :17:22.to win but how disappointed were you by the nature of that if it? In the
:17:23. > :17:30.end I was slightly embarrassed. Man City are exceptional and they have
:17:31. > :17:33.done that too many sides. I was not concerned about those six goals
:17:34. > :17:38.because they have done that to other teams or about those 32 shots on
:17:39. > :17:44.target but I was concerned about a game that was played for the most
:17:45. > :17:50.part in the half of West Ham, and nine fouls, not one booking for any
:17:51. > :17:54.West Ham player. Trying to close at ball down the never confronted and
:17:55. > :17:59.it was not there. And Man City made them look silly. It was quite
:18:00. > :18:08.pedestrian? It felt like an exhibition. It was played at
:18:09. > :18:12.altitude, almost. It reminded me of a training session when you used to
:18:13. > :18:20.play against the first-team and the manager says, don't go mad, see how
:18:21. > :18:26.the first half goes. Don't injure anybody. At any stage, did we ever
:18:27. > :18:28.see anyone going with any full-blooded tackle running around
:18:29. > :18:36.the pitch meaningfully. And closing people dying. It looked completely
:18:37. > :18:44.out of sorts. They didn't lay one glove on them. Six goals is no mean
:18:45. > :18:48.feat. It was a West Ham player, a player they went after, Negredo, and
:18:49. > :18:58.he was one of several highlights. Quality goals. But poor defending.
:18:59. > :19:05.And this one, Dzeko was able to return the favour to Negredo and was
:19:06. > :19:13.unchallenged, good finish. Adrian was isolated. Seeing the entire
:19:14. > :19:19.game, this sums up the game. In a nutshell. Normally, the penalty area
:19:20. > :19:24.would be somewhere to make a challenge but they continued to back
:19:25. > :19:32.off. That is from ten yards. This is another example, you would think
:19:33. > :19:37.that was Roy Keane, not one tackle being made on him. That is the thing
:19:38. > :19:44.they did willingly. Finishing was sensational. But the build-up to
:19:45. > :19:52.getting into that was issued, it beggars belief at times from West
:19:53. > :19:57.Ham. Dzeko, he had that little scrap and he gets in front of him. This
:19:58. > :20:04.was the icing on the cake. This is another one. Through the legs. That
:20:05. > :20:09.is an outstanding finish. Steve is right, the finishing was exceptional
:20:10. > :20:16.but every time they finish in the box, it was three yards and they
:20:17. > :20:24.could easily have taken a touch on any touch. Manchester City, 91 goals
:20:25. > :20:29.in 32 games. They will not take their foot off the gas. The game
:20:30. > :20:35.never changed for a West Ham, three down, never changed. But Man City
:20:36. > :20:40.would not take their foot off the gas, they kept playing and driving
:20:41. > :20:49.home that advantage. Heavy defeats for West Ham, you know David
:20:50. > :20:56.Sullivan, a penny for his thoughts? Eight don't think that they got beat
:20:57. > :20:59.in the other day heavily, they were beaten again today and I am not sure
:21:00. > :21:04.that is the deciding factor, the case will be, do the players still
:21:05. > :21:10.believe in what they are doing? Does he believe? On those performances,
:21:11. > :21:14.there was a lack of belief, I thought, on both occasions. Good
:21:15. > :21:20.following from a West Ham fans, they were a positive. They were singing
:21:21. > :21:25.their Hearts out. They are out of both cups. They can concentrate on
:21:26. > :21:29.the league and it did not cost them any points in the league. They have
:21:30. > :21:33.to get some players with enthusiasm of the majority of those players
:21:34. > :21:37.tonight and they once they must -- that must get a match in the Premier
:21:38. > :21:45.League. They have to lift their game and show more aggression. But what a
:21:46. > :21:54.game on Saturday! Cardiff City? Yes! I am sure they had one eye on
:21:55. > :21:59.those games, that is why they decided that. But that keeps
:22:00. > :22:07.knocking them, it keeps knocking that belief from them and on paper
:22:08. > :22:12.it will be a really crucial game. Ali ever seen such a one-sided
:22:13. > :22:18.semifinal in the League Cup? You were involved in one against Oldham?
:22:19. > :22:24.1990, the plastic pitch, they called me back for the second leg and the
:22:25. > :22:29.excuse was the pitch, and we won the second leg but I have seen something
:22:30. > :22:32.like that before. But again, the supporters were exceptional on that
:22:33. > :22:39.day and denied they were fantastic and they will need them, they need
:22:40. > :22:47.that support. That is reflect in the other semifinal, Sunder land against
:22:48. > :22:51.Man United. Their season took another nosedive after exiting the
:22:52. > :22:56.FA Cup at the third round on Sunday. Guy Mowbray was there.
:22:57. > :23:02.Their semifinal with added extra. The Capital One Cup carries extra
:23:03. > :23:05.importance for Manchester United. Both teams are much changed from
:23:06. > :23:24.Sunday. Seven changes each. Alonso makes his debut, having
:23:25. > :23:30.signed on loan. Those staying or Jonny Evans, Tom Cleverley and
:23:31. > :23:49.Valencia along with Welbeck. Still no Wayne Rooney or van Persie.
:23:50. > :24:01.Fletcher. It got away from Evans. That was worth a go. He had to get
:24:02. > :24:04.it through his legs. That touch from Fabio Borini was excellent. Always
:24:05. > :24:15.wide. Alex and Bobby. Ki. Taken nicely by Alonso. Fletcher
:24:16. > :24:41.could not quite get onto that. He deflected that cross. It moved up
:24:42. > :24:43.invitingly for Fletcher. David Moyes has only got past the fourth round
:24:44. > :25:02.once before, with Everton. Ryan Giggs. I spotted space. He goes
:25:03. > :25:08.for the girl and it comes off the crossbar. It was deflected. That
:25:09. > :25:13.took it away from Mannone. The Dutch... The spin of the ball
:25:14. > :25:41.changes. That will not kind. That was a
:25:42. > :25:49.lovely ball. His best pass of the match. The cross was not headed
:25:50. > :25:59.around and 64 macro... It was blocked by Ryan Giggs. It does not
:26:00. > :26:12.have a semifinal feel to it. John O'Shea. Free kick. Hard and heavy.
:26:13. > :26:13.Sunderland will barely have time to lift this into the penalty area
:26:14. > :26:26.before the break. One last chance before the break for
:26:27. > :26:32.either side to try to steal the initiative in this cup tie. A
:26:33. > :26:41.chance! And he has scrambled over the line! Phil Bardsley has done it.
:26:42. > :26:46.The former Manchester United full-back. This has been crying out
:26:47. > :26:55.for a goal and delivery... No one side. That was played back across
:26:56. > :27:03.the box. The old Manchester United one, two. Wes Brown. Was that an own
:27:04. > :27:13.goal? I don't know. That is an own goal from Ryan Giggs?
:27:14. > :27:40.Adnan Januzaj against Phil Bardsley. Into the box. He comes up against
:27:41. > :27:44.Alonso. Handball appeals. They have been heard and it is a yellow card
:27:45. > :28:03.for the Italian and a free kick for United. Punched away from Rafael.
:28:04. > :28:10.Fletcher has to turn it behind. There is not any wavering support
:28:11. > :28:17.for David Moyes. And Manchester United are level. That was a
:28:18. > :28:24.wonderful corner. Well timed run and jump from the captain. His first
:28:25. > :28:28.goal of the season. Nothing that Mannone could do to stop that.
:28:29. > :28:36.Perfect, eyes on the ball, right from the start. 1-1. Sebastian
:28:37. > :28:48.Larsson. It comes to Sebastian Larsson. That
:28:49. > :28:55.was a superb parry from David De Gea. Great cross from Phil Bardsley.
:28:56. > :29:00.He relieved tried to make the best of it. He was beaten by Nemanja
:29:01. > :29:09.Vidic. Straight into Sebastian Larsson. Corner. Strong red and
:29:10. > :29:14.white presence there. He cannot get the shot in. That corner nearly
:29:15. > :29:26.turned out to be a good one. John O'Shea. Johnson. Into the box! The
:29:27. > :29:37.flag has been waived. Penalty to Sunderland! Tom Cleverley tries the
:29:38. > :29:46.challenge. That was a clumsy looking challenge. He puts his backside into
:29:47. > :29:51.Adam Johnson. Manchester United players are delivered. They haven't
:29:52. > :29:54.had a penalty given against them in 77 games in the Premier League, in
:29:55. > :30:01.the Capital One Cup, this is a big one.
:30:02. > :30:08.The Italian is on loan from Liverpool. Fabio Borini. He scored
:30:09. > :30:15.the winner, the late winner against Newcastle. And he scores! Into the
:30:16. > :30:24.roof of the net. Sunderland have the lead again. Fabio Borini always
:30:25. > :30:27.scores the big ones. Semifinal, it is alive all right. Absolutely
:30:28. > :30:47.rocking at the Stadium of Light. Johnson weaves his way past one
:30:48. > :30:51.challenge, and two, and shoots. Going for glory and he did
:30:52. > :31:00.everything right except find the finish. This is what he hasn't done
:31:01. > :31:11.enough in a Sunderland shirt. Through a quarter of the first leg
:31:12. > :31:18.of this semifinal. A few on the nearside think it might have been
:31:19. > :31:22.closer than it actually was. The technique there, eyes on the ball,
:31:23. > :31:29.knows where the goal is. And he is very close to finding it. Only at
:31:30. > :31:43.the halfway stage at the end of the night.
:31:44. > :31:53.And Januzaj has found the roof of the net! A really clever attempt. He
:31:54. > :31:57.is in line again. No problem with that decision and no problem with
:31:58. > :32:04.what Januzaj was trying to do. The ball bounced off as well. David
:32:05. > :32:09.Moyes looks resigned. Having to come from behind at Old Trafford in the
:32:10. > :32:11.last couple of weeks. Nonstop dialogue between the Manchester
:32:12. > :32:14.United manager and his coaching staff. Whistles all around the
:32:15. > :32:31.ground. Gus Poyet screaming for full-time!
:32:32. > :32:37.Another Manchester United throw. Can they get the ball into the box one
:32:38. > :32:41.last time? Trying to pass their way into the middle... Fletcher will now
:32:42. > :32:49.deliver and it is Brown who heads away. Vidic has stopped him and
:32:50. > :32:52.there still might be another chance before the end. And in comes Marcus
:32:53. > :33:11.Alonso. That will be a goal kick. There
:33:12. > :33:16.won't be time for it. That will be it at the Stadium of Light. We are
:33:17. > :33:19.halfway through and all set up for a cracking second leg to this Capital
:33:20. > :33:24.One Cup semifinal at Old Trafford in a couple of weeks time. The winner,
:33:25. > :33:33.scored from the penalty spot by Fabio Borini. It means an advantage
:33:34. > :33:36.to Sunderland halfway through. It is Sunderland's first win over Man
:33:37. > :33:43.United in 21 meetings. David, where do your frustrations
:33:44. > :33:48.mostly lighter night? Decision for the first goal. Can't see how it was
:33:49. > :33:51.a free kick. I think it was a centre forward challenge but it gave
:33:52. > :33:56.Sunderland a free kick. That doesn't take away our defending at the end
:33:57. > :34:02.of that but we had a player booked for a similar decision when they had
:34:03. > :34:04.a penalty kick, so tough to take. Tougher the players because they
:34:05. > :34:11.played well. The support was unbelievable, the way they backed me
:34:12. > :34:16.and the team. The team are getting better and we were unlucky to lose
:34:17. > :34:22.tonight's game. You are halfway, no great celebrations yet. No, because
:34:23. > :34:28.we know how good they are, how good Old Trafford is. We were under
:34:29. > :34:33.pressure but to have a chance, you need to take advantage of the home
:34:34. > :34:37.leg and I think we scored the two goals and it gave us a little
:34:38. > :34:43.advantage. I sensed the frustration with the award of the penalty? Just
:34:44. > :34:47.a bit. The referee was looking directly at it, didn't give it, and
:34:48. > :34:55.the lines man, who I think would have had to see through Patrice
:34:56. > :35:01.Evra, gave that. I can't believe it. We will have another look at those
:35:02. > :35:06.key decisions shortly but Sunderland now have their noses in front come
:35:07. > :35:10.the return leg at Old Trafford. Yes. There are a couple of things you
:35:11. > :35:14.need to take out of that. The fans will play a big part and they have
:35:15. > :35:19.to be patient in that game. I have seen Gus Poyet's side playing, the
:35:20. > :35:23.last 20 minutes, he showed and they showed they can be well organised,
:35:24. > :35:28.tough to break down as well. When he was Brighton manager coming he did
:35:29. > :35:30.the same there. They had a ready good reputation for playing in
:35:31. > :35:38.possession but what they did not get an awful lot of credit for was how
:35:39. > :35:40.they played out of position. He has Sunderland in that same vein, where
:35:41. > :35:45.they are well-organised, they have good struck. It is going to be that
:35:46. > :35:50.sort of game because we saw 20 minutes from the end, Manchester
:35:51. > :35:54.United playing comfortably. Do you have sympathy with him or is it a
:35:55. > :35:59.case of clutching at straws? I do have sympathy for him. We are
:36:00. > :36:03.talking about the penalty layout. But, to be honest, I was astonished
:36:04. > :36:08.that David did not think the first foul was a foul on Fletcher. Because
:36:09. > :36:15.this ball goes up, he needs him in the back. He is distracted by
:36:16. > :36:21.Fletcher, straight into the back. It is a foul and every time I've see
:36:22. > :36:28.it, it is even more of a foul. So I was even more astonished by that.
:36:29. > :36:34.And to compound their misery, it was a goal made in Manchester, wasn't
:36:35. > :36:38.it? Yes. He literally runs from the edge of the box and runs around the
:36:39. > :36:44.back and he is not tracked. This is your centre half, your opposition
:36:45. > :36:49.coming up for the free kick. So you can understand why David Moyes is
:36:50. > :36:53.not happy about that. It puts a different complexion on the game all
:36:54. > :36:59.of a sudden. Why are they failing to do such basic things, then? I don't
:37:00. > :37:05.know. At that level, it is an elementary error. You would expect
:37:06. > :37:11.somebody given that job, this is your job, Mark Kim and stay with him
:37:12. > :37:19.until the danger is out. -- Mark him. You can deliver the ball but
:37:20. > :37:26.you need to go and head it. In effect, the first time, they were
:37:27. > :37:33.giving the free header away. You both understand things when it comes
:37:34. > :37:38.to the penalty call. It wasn't a penalty? No... Time and time again,
:37:39. > :37:45.you have a chance. Should Vidic come out sooner? And does Cleverley need
:37:46. > :37:50.to make that challenge? You are in the box and all of a sudden, things
:37:51. > :37:55.change. He runs an awfully long way here. Has Cleverley made the
:37:56. > :37:58.challenge with the wrong foot? He shouldn't have made the challenge,
:37:59. > :38:06.but take that away, it is not a penalty. People might say Johnson
:38:07. > :38:10.dived. He did not die. For me, he is just off balance and he has fallen
:38:11. > :38:19.over. It is not a penalty. -- he did not dive. Invariably, players make
:38:20. > :38:24.their challenge with their strongest foot. It is difficult if you are not
:38:25. > :38:29.ultra left-sided to wrap your left foot around there. I think, as I
:38:30. > :38:43.say, there is a coming together, but enough to give a foul moment. David
:38:44. > :38:46.Moyes refuted it in his book recently but it is being said it is
:38:47. > :38:54.not helping David Moyes at the moment. Almost reminiscing when he
:38:55. > :38:59.couldn't easily read in question at Old Trafford. But you guys are not
:39:00. > :39:05.having any of it? If Man United were winning games... Now they are losing
:39:06. > :39:08.games at the moment and it is his fault they are not performing at a
:39:09. > :39:12.level to win games. It is nonsense. He should be allowed to go and watch
:39:13. > :39:17.the game. When David Moyes is down in that dugout watching the game, he
:39:18. > :39:22.is not thinking about Alex Ferguson. Nor are the players. They
:39:23. > :39:26.are thinking about their job. Why can't they do this, Sunderland, when
:39:27. > :39:31.it comes to the league? Because they have been brilliant. It is a
:39:32. > :39:34.different sort of pressure and a different way of approaching the
:39:35. > :39:40.game. I don't think they have played particularly poorly. We have seen
:39:41. > :39:48.some diesel results. In every game, you need an element of luck. -- some
:39:49. > :39:53.decent results. I'd just think I have seen under Gus Poyet some sort
:39:54. > :39:57.of direction certainly consistent with improvement. And there is no
:39:58. > :40:04.doubt, they have a chance of staying in this season. Shrews we lost at
:40:05. > :40:10.home to Leyton Orient, who have gone off the boil of late, but they did
:40:11. > :40:14.win 2-0 yesterday. A cracking goal from Moses. Just before the
:40:15. > :40:18.half-hour mark, that was. That was before Scott Cuthbert wrapped up the
:40:19. > :40:24.good win just before the 90 minutes were up. Puts them back into winning
:40:25. > :40:28.ways, really, and just one point behind the leaders, Brentford, as
:40:29. > :40:32.this will confirm. Second win in seven games now. He has had to
:40:33. > :40:36.reinforce the ranks. He told us that only a few days ago. And it looks to
:40:37. > :40:50.me as if the new faces are doing well. Yes. They have a few players.
:40:51. > :40:57.He has been backed and he has needed players, he has players out injured.
:40:58. > :41:01.Reinforcement to look like coming at just the right time. Before we go, a
:41:02. > :41:09.quick reminder of the football on offer this coming weekend on BBC
:41:10. > :41:12.One. We have Football Focus, of course. Then joined Gary for all the
:41:13. > :41:19.top-flight goals on Match Of The Day. That gets under way at
:41:20. > :41:23.10:30pm. The perfect warm up act for the Football League Show just after.
:41:24. > :41:28.Thank you as always for your company this evening and thank you to you,
:41:29. > :41:33.too. So at the halfway point, save to say Manchester City are all but
:41:34. > :41:34.in the final, while it is advantage Sunderland at Old Trafford. See you
:41:35. > :41:41.on Sunday. Good night.
