1907 : Moments after Andrei Arshavin brings a low stop out of Hammers keeper Robert Green, West Ham hit the post. Actually that tackle looks worse each time I see it 1808 : Close although not close enough twice in a minute from armoury - Cesc Fabregas's pass towards Andrei Arshavin crucially cut out by Matthew Upson - Arshavin would be free otherwise - and then Emmanuel Eboue firing across goal, but evading Arshavin's lunge at the far post by a matter of inches.

armoury goal : We've only been playing 5 mins to be truthful, West Ham already look out of their depth. Tottenham, in the meantime, do what Man Town , Liverpool and Aston Villa have not been able to do this season - win at Stoke - and you wonder how important that could be in the dash for 4th, while matters were a touch more cosy for two revived sides in Everton and Sunderland - both of those are looking up instead of down in the table now, for sure. Ruairi in Bordeaux through text : anxious about an upset today, though seeing Cole and Noble on the bench makes me feel slightly better 1713 : and do not you dare think League 2 is being left out, here's Numbers Ian to make it 3 from 3 : The League 2 announcements are manufactured by leaders Rochdale, who overturn a 2-0 deficit to victory 4-2 at Accrington while Notts County replace Bournemouth in 2nd place after a 1-0 win at Crewe while the Cherries suffer from a surprise 3-2 defeat at Grimsby, who are now just 4 points behind Cheltenham. 1620 : Unusual scenes at the Britannia where, a goal and a person to the good, Tottenham defenders Benoit Assou-Ekotto and Vedran Corluka become involved in a little bit of an argument over not much in any way. 1609 : Erm, not the best couple of mins for Stoke as Dean Whitehead receives a second booking for a clutzy - but some distance from antagonistic - tackle on Luka Modric, the hosts down to ten men. 1519 : Gary Caldwell rises high to meet a Wigan corner and smashes a savage header goalwards, nevertheless it crashes against the post and away. Wolves goal : Aston Villa stand off David Jones far too long, the midfielder slips it to Matt Jarvis and the winger's cross is poked into his very own net by James Milner under stress from Jones following in. Aston Villa goal : To be fair, it's been coming, and James Milner is not surprisingly at the center of it.
