  1. Player reactionpublished at 17:48 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February 2015

    West Brom defender Joleon Lescott on his alleged professional foul on Danny Graham, which brought a yellow card: "I didn't think I touched him to be honest, so I wasn't nervous. The ref didn't seem like he was going to do anything. Then the linesman gave it.

    "At half-time, someone said I pulled him, someone said I tripped him. I thought: Which one was it?"

  2. 'Historic double no mean feat'published at 17:48 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February 2015

    Swansea manager Garry Monk on his club completing a first league double against Manchester United: "I don't know if today is better than the win at Old Trafford - it's quite even. It was a great result - what a fantastic day. The team have done tremendously well against a side like Manchester United.

    "To take six points off Manchester United for the first time in the club's history is a great achievement. To make history for this club is fantastic for this team to be remembered and it is no mean feat."

    On fighting back from a 1-0 deficit: "Whenever you go a goal down it is against the plan but I thought we showed a good reaction. That's what we did, we got a goal back straight away and finished the half OK.

    "We came out in the second half and had to withstand some pressure - understandable because Manchester United are a very good side. I thought we defended very well and I can only remember them having one shot on target in the second half."

  3. 'One mistake can cost you'published at 17:46 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February 2015

    Scott Sinclair, Aston Villa's goalscorer: "I felt as though we needed to go forward and keep pushing for goals after we scored. We need to manage games better, keep possession and create more chances than we did.

    "Once we get a win it will breed more confidence in the squad, so that's the main priority - getting three points and build from that."

    On the sending off: "Ron Vlaar has been a top man and outstanding in the game. One mistake can cost you and we need to make sure we learn from that."

    On the new manager Tim Sherwood: "He has made a difference. The first 20 minutes we looked enthusiastic, kept the ball and went 1-0 up. He has told us to go and do our thing and to make things happen."

    Ben, Norwich: Absolutely ashamed to be a Manchester United fan at the moment due to the board letting this happen to a beautiful club. Louis van Gaal should be sacked no later than midnight. Absolute disgrace spending £150 million to turn them into nothing better than last year. The fans are speaking. LVG OUT!

    Clinical, very clinical. Edin Dzeko races down the left, squares the ball to Samir Nasri inside the penalty area and he does the rest. The midfielder shows great feet and composure to work a bit of space before slamming the ball into the top corner. Newcastle, I don't envy you now.

  6. 'I don't know the offside rule'published at 17:41 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February 2015

    West Brom head coach Tony Pulis: "The first 20-25 minutes, we were OK and played good stuff - but then we got away from what we were trying to do. They had two bad results and we knew they would be up for it, with Gus sending out that letter and getting the fans onside. Their supporters cheered for everything."

    On referee Mike Jones' decision only to book Albion defender Joleon Lescott for an apparent professional foul on Danny Graham: "The lad who's fallen down with Joleon, I've seen old ladies take bigger touches than that and not fall over in the street. He's fallen over."

    On the decision to disallow a first-half Adam Johnson goal for offside: "Jermain Defoe is offside and he's interfering with play. He couldn't have given it for Johnson, because he's level. But I don't know the offside rule, to put it bluntly."

  7. 'I'm proud of the players'published at 17:40 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February 2015

    Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew said: "I can't remember being as fulfilled by a defeat for a long time. I'm so proud of the players and I feel so despondent for them to not get anything out of the game.

    "From the start to the finish we had a game plan to threaten them and give them no time. We were superb, but sometimes this game can be very cruel.

    "The performance from the players and the fans was exemplary. We couldn't have done any more. I was kicking myself that we were 2-0 down because we had been so much better than that. We played the best football that we have done since I've been here."

  8. 'United didn't create many clearcut chances'published at 17:39 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February 2015

    Swansea keeper Lukasz Fabianski: "The atmosphere is good in the dressing room - everyone is happy with the win, especially against that kind of opponent. It gives us a massive boost of confidence for the coming games.

    "I had a lot of crosses and set pieces to deal with, I was expecting more shots instead of crosses. But anyway, we managed to win so we are all happy.

    "I think at Old Trafford we had more possession and looked more comfortable on the ball. Today, United had more possession obviously but they didn't create that much. They had a few half chances but nothing that clearcut."

    Lisa: Very disappointed Chelsea fan at Stamford bridge. Referee had a shocker, two points dropped but worse than anything Nemanja Matic is the one player we really can't replace. The thought of losing to Spurs on Sunday...

    Richard Clarke: So Chelsea only draw and the world has ended. Why, every time, does Jose Mourhino think they have been hard done by when they don't win. Disputed decisions are a part of the game - some you win some you lose. He's like a spoilt child and is no doubt sulking like one now.

    Queens Park Rangers midfielder Joey Barton, on Twitter:, external "Young kid making his debut has made a good tackle. Couple of Hull players trying to get him sent off. My job as captain is to protect him.

    "I've tried to prevent Hull's players influencing the referee as you can see by me pushing Alex Bruce away. My actions towards Tom Huddlestone were certainly not malicious, it was a stupid reaction to being barged but I can appreciate it wasn't right.

    "I'm gutted I got sent off. I've let my teammates down today and being someone who puts the team above everything else I'm gutted about that."

  11. Manager reactionpublished at 17:34 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February 2015

    Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said: "It was about fighting for the win. Crystal Palace made it a really tough game and we had to dig deep on a difficult pitch against a good team so I'm very happy with the win.

    "Palace gave everything they had. It was like a cup game. They closed us down and stopped us playing."

    New Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood: "I am bitterly disappointed. I didn't think we deserved to lose the game but we didn't do enough to win it. We have to go and do a job and forget any anxiety.

    "It will be a work in progress, there is a lot of work to be done and I've told the lads that. We have to brave and get on the ball.

    "There is no point in me getting a big stick out and banging them on the head with it. It is about me getting the best out of them for the remaining games.

    "We will improve. It is a very short amount of time to get instructions into them but we will get better and we need to keep this great club in the Premier League. We are not thinking about going down."

    "I have been really impressed with Steve Bruce's player acquisition but he has had a lot of bad luck with injuries. Once it does come together and the players are all fine then Hull City could find the back end of the season looks a lot more easy than it seems. "

  15. Manager reactionpublished at 17:28 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February 2015

    Stoke boss Mark Hughes: "Before the game there was a lot of positivity around Villa and rightly so. I think Tim (Sherwood) will be a very good appointment.

    "But today was about what we needed to do as a group and to have a response to the previous weekend at Blackburn (a 4-1 defeat) when we didn't do ourselves justice.

    "Not too many people gave us a chance of winning, which we were a bit taken aback by. But we played well. I would have settled for a point - but I think we deserved all three.

    "It was a key game for us on a number of levels and I am delighted with what we produced. If we keep on performing like this then I will be very happy at the end of the season."

    Hardik Dhanak:, external Refereeing has ruined the EPL this season... Need some serious change in that.

    Jack Robinson:, external Best League in the world, but shocking decisions every week against a team on top like it's planned. People will soon get tired.

  18. 'It was a bad decision'published at 17:24 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February 2015

    Sunderland head coach Gus Poyet: "We knew before the game what West Brom would do. Tony Pulis is a genius at setting up teams, so you need something to go for you. Sometimes you need the referee to do their job. It's getting to a point where we cannot get the right decision. It was a simple decision, it was clear."

    On referee Mike Jones' decision to only book defender Joleon Lescott for an apparent professional foul on Danny Graham: "It's a bad decision. It was poor because the referee didn't make the decision. It was the linesman. The referee needed to consult the linesman. They were two mistakes that cost us."

    On the decision to disallow a first-half Adam Johnson goal for offside: "It's a tough one. I'm not going to blame the linesman, because it's a difficult decision. But he was wrong. When you have those two decisions against you, it's difficult to break down a Tony Pulis team. It's 0-0 and probably the last one shown on Match of the Day tonight."

  19. 'We forgot to score'published at 17:19 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February 2015

    Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal: "Of course you can say we dominated the game but the only thing we could have done more was score more out of the chances we created. Today we were the unlucky team. I think we created enough chances. We were the dominant side in both halves.

    "Conceding so quickly after opening the scoring was important. It was a throw in for Swansea and we should have been more organised. But it was a good goal by Swansea.

    "Today we played well - only we forgot to score. We have to be more effective."
