Premier League Results 6th November 2010

Birmingham City 2-2 West Ham United
The game started brilliantly when the sprinkler system came on, leaving the players drenched and the referee at a loss, but it wasn’t until after the interval that the game came alive in other ways. Birmingham came back from 2-0 down to deny West Ham a much-needed win.
Danny Gabbidon was in defence for West Ham and prevented at least one goal.

Blackpool 2-2 Everton
Blackpool just refuse to lie down and get relegated – and I woudn’t want it any other way. The Tangerines got an excellent draw against an in-form Everton side. Not that you could really say Blackpool are off-form – they’re closer to the Champions’ League places than the relegation ones.
Neal Eardley and David Vaughan started for Blackpool and scored the two goals, both of which put Blackpool into the lead. It was a very happy birthday for Neal, who scored from a stunning free kick.

Bolton Wanderers 4-2 Tottenham Hotspur
Not so long ago, Bolton at home were easier than Bolton away. Now they’re harder to beat than Inter Milan – for the simple reason that they’ve worked out that two men are harder to beat than one.
Bolton doubled up on Gareth Bale, as many predicted Inter would do, which made it very difficult for Tottenham to make any attacks. Though it was one of his markers who scored the goal to put Bolton 2-0 ahead. Some newspapers immediately started criticising Gareth for having a poor game and wondering what that meant for his Tottenham future but Harry Redknapp says Gareth was his best player, he’s just a young boy who isn’t going to be at his best every week and he’s not going to get his head turned by all this transfer talk. I don’t like having one of my favourite players at Tottenham but I do hope he’s right. If a Welsh player is doing well, it’s best they stay where they are.
Sam Ricketts was an unused substitute for Bolton.

While Gareth is starring on the football field, his classmate Sam Warburton is playing a sport far more familiar to the Welsh.

Dean Saunders becomes the 1000000000th person to compare Gareth to Ryan Giggs.
