    A very, very early booking for West Ham midfielder Mark Noble! He was late on Ola Toivonen.

    The players have been down because it takes time, but you pick them up. That's the nature of the job. We expect a tough game, it always is against Mark's team, but a game we can win.

    I'm fairly sure that I just saw Jermain Defoe hoovering a tube of smarties on the Sunderland bench. Tremendous stuff.

    We are bottom of the league, so we have to get three points. The most important thing is they show they want to win and get the fans behind you. As long as they give everything, the best team will win. If you are not afraid to win the duels you will get results. I'm concentrating on the game and the other things are not so important.

    Dick Advocaat, Sunderland manager

    A lot of reports today suggest that Dick Advocaat is planning to leave the club after today's game...

    Arsenal v Man Utd (Sunday)

    "Arsene, is it healthy that you're not accountable for your team selection?"

    It's fair to say the press were not holding back at Arsene Wenger's pre-match news conference yesterday, and the Frenchman certainly gave as good as he got. Watch his spiky exchange with a journalist below.

    Almost time for kick-off in the Premier League then, players disappearing back into tunnels around the grounds.

  11. Price of footballpublished at 14:44 British Summer Time 3 October 2015

    There's been a few protests around the grounds today already in regards to the price of a ticket in football. "Twenty's plenty" seems to be the order of the day.

    My alternative 'a fiver would do' campaign is yet to gain any traction...

    David Pleat
    Former Tottenham manager on BBC Radio 5 live

    "It was an emphatic victory, that was clear cut right from the final whistle.

    "They showed their intent to attack throughout the game, we knew West Brom would crack and Bolasie scored and then Cabaye's penalty was the icing on the cake. 

    "As Alan Pardew claps the crowd they will be happy tonight. The Eagles are on the up."

    Crystal Palace 2-0 West Brom

    Graeme Le Saux
    Former England defender on Final Score

    "It's been a feature of Palace's season. They're so creative and have so much pace in wide areas. 

    "Having that direct option of players that can run at opponents means you are always going to be in the games. 

    "Wilfried Zaha has responded magnificently to being dropped. Alan Pardew must be delighted and they thoroughly deserve the success they've had at this stage of the season."
