:00:42. > :00:46.Welcome to Premier League show. Tonight we'll be taking an in-depth

:00:47. > :00:50.look at the reign of Arsene Wenger as he celebrates 20 years in charge

:00:51. > :00:54.of Arsenal. We'll look back at all the big talking point of the last

:00:55. > :00:57.seven days of top-flight action. First, we're here at Wembley Stadium

:00:58. > :01:05.to reflect on what's been a seismic week in English football. LAUGHTER

:01:06. > :01:09.Get that smile. The new England football manager Sam Allardyce...

:01:10. > :01:14.It's going to be a great thrill to make everybody so proud of the

:01:15. > :01:17.England team. Sam Allardyce is being investigated by the FA over claims

:01:18. > :01:21.he offered advice to businessmen on how to get around player transfer

:01:22. > :01:28.rules. A significant error of judgment... Sam Allardyce is the

:01:29. > :01:32.shortest serving England manager. The newspaper claimed Allardyce

:01:33. > :01:38.cashed in on his position to agree in principle to a ?400,000... He

:01:39. > :01:42.said inappropriate things for a manager to say. On reflection it was

:01:43. > :01:47.a silly thing to do. I didn't think it could get any worse. It was a

:01:48. > :01:52.dream job and I feel very sorry for him. Tremendous sympathy Sam has

:01:53. > :01:56.lost his job. For him to lose it this way I feel very sorry for him.

:01:57. > :02:01.The Daily Telegraph alleged four format and current Premier League

:02:02. > :02:04.managers received bungs for transfers. Not sure how we evaluate

:02:05. > :02:08.how much corruption there is going on in the game but there is clearly

:02:09. > :02:11.some. Corruption in football has no place, that's my stance, I'm sure

:02:12. > :02:17.everyone would agree with me on that. It's bad for football in

:02:18. > :02:22.general, it is a black mark. I'm joined by Telegraph chief football

:02:23. > :02:26.writer Sam Wallace. Was the FA right to act as quickly and to part

:02:27. > :02:34.company with Sam Allardyce in the way they did? I think so. I think it

:02:35. > :02:36.made the decision easy for them, reading the interviews from Greg

:02:37. > :02:43.Clark the FA chairman, he seemed to say it was Allardyce accepting his

:02:44. > :02:45.fate. The big picture is the FA is the moral authority for football in

:02:46. > :02:50.this country from the England team is a big part of what it does but

:02:51. > :02:55.not the only thing it does. It has jurisdiction over players, managers,

:02:56. > :03:01.agents, club owners. That is a very complicated aspect of the FA's life.

:03:02. > :03:05.The government department is tricky cases like Luis Suarez's races in

:03:06. > :03:11.case, the John Terry races in case. It's impossible for them to operate

:03:12. > :03:18.with its highest-paid employee who sees these rules as optional. --

:03:19. > :03:24.racism case. They are not necessarily sure entrapment was the

:03:25. > :03:28.right way to go about it. Sam Allardyce says it was entrapment,

:03:29. > :03:33.what are your thoughts on the modus operandi? The Telegraph would reject

:03:34. > :03:38.the allegation of entrapment, it was done by our investigations team,

:03:39. > :03:42.acting on information they had about certain individuals. We are heavily

:03:43. > :03:46.governed by the ipso code, which means the newspaper can only do

:03:47. > :03:51.these kind of investigations if they are in the public interest. I would

:03:52. > :03:55.refer back to Greg Clark the FA chairman's comments, he says it

:03:56. > :03:59.shows the importance of a free press and the ability of reporters like

:04:00. > :04:02.the Telegraph investigations unit to look into what he described as the

:04:03. > :04:06.dark corners to find out what's going on. Are we scratching the

:04:07. > :04:14.surface here, are there deeper and more problematic areas in football

:04:15. > :04:18.that with more man-hours will be unearthed? It's a very hard question

:04:19. > :04:22.to answer. We had the Stevens enquiry ten years ago which cost the

:04:23. > :04:27.Premier League a lot of money. There were no charges on the basis of

:04:28. > :04:31.that, it was an experienced Met commissioner who undertook it,

:04:32. > :04:37.refusing to sign of 17 transfers. No action was taken. With fever, it

:04:38. > :04:42.needs the authorities to intervene to make change. -- Fifa. Greg Clark

:04:43. > :04:46.says he feels the police are already overworked and it is football's

:04:47. > :04:51.problem to solve. I would like to think I could be accused of naivete,

:04:52. > :04:54.the world is changing. The kind of people I encounter in football who

:04:55. > :04:57.work as agents and in the recruitment departments, by

:04:58. > :05:01.different characters to the ones that perhaps in the past could be

:05:02. > :05:07.accused of corruption. From a manager whose tenure lasted one

:05:08. > :05:10.match to one who is on 1129. Arsene Wenger has already spoken out to

:05:11. > :05:14.reassure Arsenal fans they have nothing to worry about when it comes

:05:15. > :05:22.to his conduct. It's to the Emirates we go next. Arsene Wenger took the

:05:23. > :05:25.reins at Arsenal on the 1st of October 19 96. At the time unknown

:05:26. > :05:29.on these shores, the unheralded Frenchman went on to spearhead a

:05:30. > :05:33.revolution in the English game. Over the last two decade he has

:05:34. > :05:37.experienced glittering success alongside periods of frustration as

:05:38. > :05:41.the club and game itself has evolved around him. To mark the anniversary

:05:42. > :05:45.of his appointment we've assembled a panel of experts to assess and

:05:46. > :05:51.dissect his legacy. Ian Wright is an Arsenal legend scoring 185 goals in

:05:52. > :05:55.288 games and winning the double under Arsene Wenger in 1988. Martin

:05:56. > :06:00.Keown was a Gunnarsson saw what you picked up three Premier League

:06:01. > :06:05.titles and three FA cups in two spells with the club. Amy Lawrence

:06:06. > :06:10.'s deputy football correspondent at the Observer and author of two books

:06:11. > :06:15.about the club. John Hartson was signed by George Graham as the most

:06:16. > :06:23.expensive teenager in European football and experienced his arrival

:06:24. > :06:28.at first-hand. Piers Morgan is a lifelong Arsenal fan and has been

:06:29. > :06:32.critical of Arsene Wenger's regime. My main ambition is to bring success

:06:33. > :06:38.to the team. And satisfy all the people who love Arsenal. Today it

:06:39. > :06:42.was all about Arsenal. Tony Adams, what a way to clinch the

:06:43. > :06:46.championship to real life come to England, to win the championship is

:06:47. > :06:51.a tremendous honour, maybe my biggest satisfaction in my career.

:06:52. > :06:58.Arsene Wenger, no question about it, manager of the season. Soaring,

:06:59. > :07:02.soaring Arsenal. They had a lot of critics when I arrived because I was

:07:03. > :07:06.unknown. Invincible, Arsenal champions. Arsenal people had

:07:07. > :07:18.confidence in me. Let's go back to the very beginning.

:07:19. > :07:21.It's easy to forget the landscape of Premier League football managers was

:07:22. > :07:25.different, there wasn't this plethora of foreign managers. He was

:07:26. > :07:30.exotic, different, there was some suspicion about him. Who was this

:07:31. > :07:33.guy, what was he about? Tell us what it was like to be in that dressing

:07:34. > :07:36.room and hear his name and meet him for the first time. It was weird

:07:37. > :07:42.because we'd never heard of him obviously. The papers were like

:07:43. > :07:46.Arsene who? You looked strange, tall, skinny guy, massive glasses,

:07:47. > :07:51.ill fitting suit, everything looked weird, didn't look like a football

:07:52. > :07:56.man at all. When I first saw him. I did up and down on him. I had to up

:07:57. > :08:01.and down him. Obviously after that you started to realise what he was

:08:02. > :08:04.all about when he opened his mouth. My memory was, I'd never heard him

:08:05. > :08:10.swear. The boys were there, a bit longer than I was... Didn't raise

:08:11. > :08:13.his voice. Remember the first time... Blackburn, whether they came

:08:14. > :08:20.he never spoke for ten minutes, that was absolutely the most strange...

:08:21. > :08:23.At half-time? Most managers coming, they love the sound of their own

:08:24. > :08:28.voice, there is always a speech. He just wanted calm, he was clever, he

:08:29. > :08:31.let us sorted out, police said the first couple of minutes, then he

:08:32. > :08:35.would have a calm effect, pick out something he felt could change the

:08:36. > :08:39.game. It was generally about starting to play and once we play

:08:40. > :08:43.they can't with us. That would mostly happen. The thing I remember

:08:44. > :08:46.most, every time in the first few weeks he went to an Arsene Wenger

:08:47. > :08:49.press conference I came away thinking, I've really learn

:08:50. > :08:52.something today, he was saying things about football I'd never

:08:53. > :08:55.really heard before anyone else saying, which seems pretentious now

:08:56. > :09:00.but it really had a powerful effect. I think you felt very different from

:09:01. > :09:04.the very first impression. Most fans... I was editor of the mirror

:09:05. > :09:09.at the time, my sport person would come to me and they do do what the

:09:10. > :09:14.good news or bad news was news, Bruce is going. He wanted rid of

:09:15. > :09:17.him. I said what's the bad news? He says you are hiring some bloke no

:09:18. > :09:22.one has ever heard of who been managing in Japan. Arsene Wenger. I

:09:23. > :09:27.said, who the hell is he? I remember thinking it's so odd, so random.

:09:28. > :09:30.David Dean spotted in Wenger the future of British football and it

:09:31. > :09:34.was an unbelievably brilliant appointment. Tell us how aliens of

:09:35. > :09:38.his ideas were at the time. It literally from Friday doing

:09:39. > :09:45.everything we were doing before, like normal, to mandate. It

:09:46. > :09:52.literally... George didn't want us in, it was most extreme. Working in

:09:53. > :09:57.the canteen was shot? George was like we're not going to pay for you

:09:58. > :10:03.to have food on Friday, get yourself home. Get home! You weren't allowed

:10:04. > :10:08.in the canteen before training. It changed. The training ground

:10:09. > :10:12.remember, when Arsene caning, they showed him the lovely green fields,

:10:13. > :10:17.he said, what is this? There were no facilities, we can't here. You going

:10:18. > :10:20.to do impressions the whole way through? The kit man rang me and

:10:21. > :10:24.said, we're not going to be at London on Monday morning, the

:10:25. > :10:31.training ground has burnt down. And I... He said it was Arsene. Is said,

:10:32. > :10:38.you're kidding me. Because I knew the gaffer didn't like the training

:10:39. > :10:41.ground. We were treated like kings. I remember going in the players

:10:42. > :10:47.lounge, they are all standing around, like they'd... Like there

:10:48. > :10:51.had been a death in the family. They said he's shut the bar, there is no

:10:52. > :10:55.more alcohol in the players lounge. Tony Adams had a lot to do with it,

:10:56. > :10:59.Tony Adams studied, everyone else let Tony get on with what he was

:11:00. > :11:04.doing as long as he was playing. Wenger came in and helped him. Tony

:11:05. > :11:08.would say... Saved his life, listen to him and really helped him. After

:11:09. > :11:12.training normally it would be the quickest and quickest out, a big

:11:13. > :11:17.drinking culture at the club. A crowd of seven or eight of the lads

:11:18. > :11:22.that would call it a liquid lunch, we would have lunch as quickly as we

:11:23. > :11:26.could. When Arsene Wenger came in he would take us, we'd go into a

:11:27. > :11:32.private room at Saltwell house and stretch. The guys would take

:11:33. > :11:35.themselves, Tony, Nigel, Arsene Wenger put three or four years on

:11:36. > :11:41.their careers. Everyone seems to get this impression that what Wenger did

:11:42. > :11:44.differently was treated like adults and everything explained to you

:11:45. > :11:47.properly, if you're going to take these vitamins, this is the effect

:11:48. > :11:50.it will have. If you drink, this is what it'll do to you. If you're

:11:51. > :11:56.going to stretch this is how it affects you on match day. Let me

:11:57. > :12:00.throw a spanner in the miracle work. It's under label that Wenger

:12:01. > :12:03.revolutionised the way British football is conducted at the sharp

:12:04. > :12:10.end in terms of the science and doctors and so on, the diet, no

:12:11. > :12:14.alcohol. I do think people overlook how many very good footballers

:12:15. > :12:21.Arsene Wenger inherited. Dennis Bergkamp, Martin Keown, Ian Wright,

:12:22. > :12:27.David Seaman, toady Adams. Twitch Tony Adams. Nigel Winter burnt,

:12:28. > :12:31.Patrick Vieira. These are all very good footballers. Only Patrick

:12:32. > :12:37.Vieira was one Wenger had any part in bringing in. I'm not diminishing

:12:38. > :12:40.the Wenger magic. Feels like you are. I'm putting it into historical

:12:41. > :12:43.perspective. Lots of the problems he's had in later years have been

:12:44. > :12:46.because he hasn't had good enough players. He inherited a fantastic

:12:47. > :12:50.group of players who were amazing in the double season but he also

:12:51. > :12:54.brought Vieira, completely down to him. And the left back who came in

:12:55. > :12:59.and made an amazing partnership. Marc Overmars who took the Premier

:13:00. > :13:03.League by storm. Nicholas and Alta. Players that go on and win the World

:13:04. > :13:09.Cup season later. Would the double have happened without the new

:13:10. > :13:12.welding with the old? I don't underestimate the sheer volume of

:13:13. > :13:45.very good players he had on the books.

:13:46. > :13:55.COMMENTATOR: Thierry Henry ?! Could they now be heading for

:13:56. > :13:58.invincibility and immortality? Arsenal, the champions, unbeatable

:13:59. > :14:04.from start to finish. And we move on to the invincibles

:14:05. > :14:10.period. The pinnacle, some might say of his 20 years.

:14:11. > :14:18.And that is a very special period of football that Arsenal had there?

:14:19. > :14:23.When you saw how good The Invincibles were, I would watch them

:14:24. > :14:28.for 10 to 15 mens of a football match, it could be Knill, and then

:14:29. > :14:33.in the space of ten minutes it would be 4-0. Amazing. What I remember

:14:34. > :14:39.most is when Wenger won at White Hart Lane. I was in the Spurs

:14:40. > :14:44.boardroom with Lord Sugar. After, everyone had gone. In walked Arsene

:14:45. > :14:49.Wenger and Pat Rice, I remember thinking I would never love any man

:14:50. > :14:54.as much as I loved this guy right now. The most extraordinary thing to

:14:55. > :15:00.have happened to Arsenal Football Club.

:15:01. > :15:05.He said it was his life's dream, going a season unbeaten. That was

:15:06. > :15:11.not what people wanted, you wanted to win the league, to be a top

:15:12. > :15:17.cancerer... But there was pressure. Everybody was targeting us. The year

:15:18. > :15:21.that we did do it, it went under the radar but an idea that Wenger

:15:22. > :15:26.developed the year before. Something he wanted to achieve.

:15:27. > :15:31.He thought it possible when nobody else thought it worth chasing,

:15:32. > :15:34.because he is a perfection mist. He looked at the dressing room and

:15:35. > :15:39.realised that with the players there, he had characters, he had

:15:40. > :15:44.Pearce, players with flair, defenders that wanted to defend. A

:15:45. > :15:49.world-class goalkeeper, he looked at the team and probably thought, for

:15:50. > :15:54.the first time in my managerial career, I could go unbeaten.

:15:55. > :16:01.There were players that were refusing to be beaten.

:16:02. > :16:07.Thierry Henry, he was a shy player, he lacked in confidence. What he

:16:08. > :16:12.grew into, it was unbelievable. He on his own. He had such quality and

:16:13. > :16:15.Patrick Vieira, a massive driving force.

:16:16. > :16:23.There were a lot of leaders in that team. A lot of strong characters.

:16:24. > :16:28.And remember, Gabby, Wenger won the league three times in that

:16:29. > :16:32.eight-year period against that fantastic Manchester United team. He

:16:33. > :16:38.revolutionised everything. And yet the problem now for all of those who

:16:39. > :16:44.fell in love with Wenger like me, is that it is just not the same.

:16:45. > :16:50.And Amy, the press at this time. The marvellous head-to-head we would

:16:51. > :16:54.have in the press conferences with Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson, was

:16:55. > :16:59.it a joy to cover this period? It was a golden era to have two

:17:00. > :17:03.heavyweights. We have become used to the Premier League being more mixed

:17:04. > :17:08.in terms of who is up there competing and the top four thing

:17:09. > :17:16.going on. But back then for about six years, it was Arsenal v

:17:17. > :17:21.Manchester United. The north against the south, it was a real

:17:22. > :17:27.heavy-weight no holds barred collision. It was totally

:17:28. > :17:34.captivating. In time they realised that they had more in common. I

:17:35. > :17:38.think that Arsene Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson like and respect each

:17:39. > :17:42.other warmly now. What people forget is that we had to

:17:43. > :17:48.be the stadium. We had to create money. I went for a challenge to

:17:49. > :17:54.build a new stadium without dropping out of the Champions Leaguement we

:17:55. > :18:06.made it, I felt I had done my job in a committed and a faithful way.

:18:07. > :18:11.So, conveniently, this 20-year period can be sliced in the middle,

:18:12. > :18:15.almost the before and the after. And it is ironically, one of his

:18:16. > :18:21.passionate projects, the building of the Emirates, the moving of the

:18:22. > :18:26.library, where the landscape turned and the trophies became harder to

:18:27. > :18:34.come by. I preferred Highbury. The inmateness

:18:35. > :18:41.of the stadium. But could you survive in the modern

:18:42. > :18:48.era without what you have now? I felt we lost a lot of things.

:18:49. > :18:53.I felt it lost heart. If you buy the best players and

:18:54. > :18:57.maintain the Premier League and maintain the level of performance

:18:58. > :19:05.but actually the opposite happened. I'm not sure if you asked now, if

:19:06. > :19:09.you asked the fans would you watch Highbury or The Emirates, most would

:19:10. > :19:14.say that they prefer warming in Highbury.

:19:15. > :19:19.You look aggrieved? I'm in the Arsene Wenger camp. There is lots

:19:20. > :19:24.that aren't. Last year there were pockets of fans putting up banners,

:19:25. > :19:28.Wenger out. All of this. I was quite disgusted by it. I voiced my opinion

:19:29. > :19:35.about that. That they should not be doing that. A lot of the money has

:19:36. > :19:41.gone into the stadium. I think he has made some mistakes, yes. I think

:19:42. > :19:45.he let players' contracts run down. Van Persie.

:19:46. > :19:49.He should have been sacked for that alone. You send the captain and best

:19:50. > :19:56.player to the number one rivals and they win the league and he wins the

:19:57. > :20:00.golden boot! Are we kidding each other #1k4r57 Ferguson rang Arsene

:20:01. > :20:07.Wenger himself. He did the deal on the phone. He said to him $24

:20:08. > :20:12.million for Van Persie. He said, OK, take my caps and best triker, a

:20:13. > :20:19.dereliction of duty by an Arsenal manager. But the bottom line is that

:20:20. > :20:24.it has not been good enough in terms of trophies won but more than

:20:25. > :20:32.acceptable to the owners. I agree with you... Because of the

:20:33. > :20:37.money he is making for the camp. When Thierry Henry left to he was

:20:38. > :20:42.literally saying to the players you are not winning the Champions League

:20:43. > :20:47.here. It made me feel sad for that to happen. Then for Robin Van Persie

:20:48. > :20:52.to go to Manchester United and score the goals that he did, they won the

:20:53. > :20:56.league with his goals. Manchester United fans were saying

:20:57. > :21:00.that they would have but I don't think so. I think somewhere along

:21:01. > :21:04.the line Arsene Wenger got soft on that.

:21:05. > :21:08.This is a problem now. A generation of Arsenal fans who have not tasted

:21:09. > :21:14.the success of being champions. 12 years. There is a growing unrest.

:21:15. > :21:19.The older fan has been brought up on the brand of football, the Arsenal

:21:20. > :21:27.way. That they are respectful to Arsene Wenger.

:21:28. > :21:30.You should not talk with disrespect. While he is there, he decides, not

:21:31. > :21:36.you. Why? Because he has earned the right

:21:37. > :21:38.to do that with the success on the pitch and how he managed the club

:21:39. > :21:45.since. Who is to say he is not right to

:21:46. > :21:49.have done what he did. Give me a number, how many more years, if it

:21:50. > :21:55.is left to Arsene Wenger to decide, if he carries on not winning the

:21:56. > :21:59.league or a championship final, and what pony do you guys, I understand

:22:00. > :22:04.why you love him, I loved him too but how many more years as a

:22:05. > :22:09.manager, do you give him before he gets sacked? I would give him three

:22:10. > :22:15.years simply because I think... He has put a lot of faith into a lot of

:22:16. > :22:20.squads that let him down. They have let him down badly.

:22:21. > :22:25.Three more years? What happens if we come third or fourth? We won't do

:22:26. > :22:30.that. Should Arsene Wenger sign a new

:22:31. > :22:34.contract. He may be offered one but should he say that his time is up?

:22:35. > :22:41.He should be the one in control of that decision? It's the same as it

:22:42. > :22:45.has ever been. Each time a contract renewal comes about, there have been

:22:46. > :22:50.many, the only person that makes that judgment call looks in the

:22:51. > :22:57.mirror, and it is Arsene Wenger. Why? Why should he be the own person

:22:58. > :23:05.in the world to sign his on contract.

:23:06. > :23:10.He is the last emperor in football. You ask Alex Ferguson or Jose

:23:11. > :23:15.Mourinho, how do you fancy coming third and fourth for 12 years, they

:23:16. > :23:22.would laugh at you. Going forward, this season, there is

:23:23. > :23:30.a feel-good factor in Emirates and the team, he has added well in it

:23:31. > :23:31.weres of Lukasz, in terms of a new contract he has to challenge this

:23:32. > :23:48.season. COMMENTATOR: Sensational goal.

:23:49. > :23:57.Sanchez, back to Ozil. It does. It is the stuff of Arsenal dreams.

:23:58. > :24:05.Let's talk in terms about his legacy. If he was to go? The legacy?

:24:06. > :24:11.When you think of the legacy, I curse I did not have more time with

:24:12. > :24:18.him. Would have loved to have been around him. It does hurt to the core

:24:19. > :24:24.to not see us challenging but I will not sit here and not defend him for

:24:25. > :24:29.I believe he is so great. What I will say, be careful if you are

:24:30. > :24:38.being disrespectful to him. Once he is gone, you will realise, as much

:24:39. > :24:46.as the FA Cups have been barren, he has taken the club global. The fact

:24:47. > :24:51.is, Mark, that they were still singing that when we were playing

:24:52. > :24:58.just before Arsene Wenger got there. It does seem a story of two acts.

:24:59. > :25:02.The first act, he was revolutionary, bringing many things to Arsenal. The

:25:03. > :25:08.second act is the big picture act. There is another kind of success, I

:25:09. > :25:11.know by the stands he sets that the second half does not look successful

:25:12. > :25:16.by most people's standards and his own. But in terms of what he has

:25:17. > :25:20.done to the Football Club, I think there is much to admire in what has

:25:21. > :25:23.been a complex second half of his career.

:25:24. > :25:29.We were there when Arsene Wenger arrived at the Football Club. We

:25:30. > :25:34.thought that he was big but you see it now around the world. Whoever

:25:35. > :25:41.comes in next, it is the joy for the next manager, what he created, the

:25:42. > :25:47.platform. If we had stayed at Highbury, as you had wanted to,

:25:48. > :25:54.Piers, we would never have survived. We have secured the future, in doing

:25:55. > :25:59.so, taken away some of the trophies. He could have been more greedy.

:26:00. > :26:05.When you hear the respect for the guys that they have for Arsene

:26:06. > :26:09.Wenger, that is an amazing legacy. The love and the devotion that many

:26:10. > :26:14.great players have for Wenger is a testament to the style of football

:26:15. > :26:19.he has alled tried to play. An amazing legacy on its own.

:26:20. > :26:25.I don't think that we will be here in 20 years still talking about

:26:26. > :26:30.Arsene Wenger but who knows? I would not put it past him.

:26:31. > :26:38.?8 million a year, I think I would be there until I was 90.

:26:39. > :26:42.I will leave you to chat on about Arsene Wenger's legacy and more but

:26:43. > :27:04.let's take you back over the last seven days in the Premier League.

:27:05. > :27:12.I have 23 players, you ask me why not play, I say what? COMMENTATOR:

:27:13. > :27:18.He goes ? for goal. He gets it, Manchester

:27:19. > :27:21.City are home. It is definitely helping my game. My

:27:22. > :27:41.game and everyone else's game. Liverpool, 5, Hull City, 1.

:27:42. > :27:45.Having led 2-0, Sunderland have been beaten in the final moments of the

:27:46. > :27:50.game. It you can't always blame it on the

:27:51. > :27:53.manager, the players have to take responsibility on the pitch.

:27:54. > :27:57.Southampton are running away through... Oh, they have got it it

:27:58. > :28:17.is four Premier League defeats in a row for West Ham.

:28:18. > :28:38.With the header going in! Into the back of the net... Keane scores for

:28:39. > :28:45.Burnley and doubles their lead! So, it's six out of six for Manchester

:28:46. > :28:55.City, who are top, as Pepe Guardiola continue their perfect start.

:28:56. > :29:00.West Ham and Stoke are firmly in the danger zone with each manager

:29:01. > :29:06.feeling the heat. Join us on Wednesday the 12th of October.

:29:07. > :29:11.10.00pm on BBC Two. If you miss any of the shows, you can always catch

:29:12. > :29:19.up with them on iPlayer. Goodbye for now.
