00:00It's clear that he's but one of a number of naturally gifted players whom Danny Wilson is trying to gel
00:06into a team.
00:07Five from home, six from abroad, with Carboni out with an ankle injury, make up the selection.
00:14And Wilson welcomes back Norwegian Peter Rudi and Argentine Juan Cobian
00:20and gives a first start of the season to the Swede, Niklas Alexandersson,
00:24who was hit by knee ligament problems so soon after starting from Gothenburg.
00:30Last December.
00:31In the absence of the suspended Lee Dixon, Arsenal give a full debut to Nelson Vivas.
00:37They're signing from Argentina's World Cup side in the summer.
00:41Alex Manninger takes a ring goal from the injured David Seaman.
00:45And this man, scorer of the best goal in the World Cup, would like a goal of any sort.
00:50His long-standing charm in the Dutch side, Wim Jonk, will be hoping that Dennis Bergkamp's blank story runs to
00:58a ninth page.
01:03First whistle from Paul Alcock gets the match underway.
01:08And it's the right sort of opposition when you've been knocked out by a lower division side from the first
01:13cup competition of the season.
01:15To face the champions is the test that Danny Wilson, I'm sure, will be quite happy to accept.
01:22This fixture last season, which relaunched the career of Ron Ankinson.
01:28But unfortunately for him, it wasn't a very long journey.
01:37Adam's first clearance, but he finds Colleague in the way.
01:49And Parler gets in behind Hinchcliffe.
01:52Good save by Freshman.
01:55Followed him across and got the left hand down.
01:58And another really good pass by Dennis Bergkamp, which utilised the pace of Ray Parler.
02:05And caught Andy Hinchcliffe, more than a bit short.
02:09acha!
02:10Hinchcliffe!
02:19Piero!
02:21Piero!
02:25And Elke gets away from Tom.
02:28Well, how clear was the run?
02:34There will be a yellow card.
02:40Quite a long way out.
02:43He lost control there.
02:46And Elke, and he made the challenge.
02:50It was all a bit of a mess, actually.
02:56Bergkamp to take.
02:58Adams was up at the back.
03:04Interesting.
03:07And there was Alex Anderson.
03:11Who couldn't make proper contact.
03:15Nigel Winterberg.
03:19He looked surprised, but it was just a little nudge.
03:23And it counted for a lot.
03:31Taken the wrong way.
03:32And he might feel that that was quite inadvertent.
03:35Replay suggested that he could have had a case.
03:41But I didn't see the replay.
03:43And now they're rather more important than the referee.
03:45The first time I've asked him.
03:47This is Anelka.
03:47That's well seen.
03:49He's got a problem now, though.
03:50Parla is inaccurate.
03:58Probably hasn't got enough support.
03:59Dicanio diagonally forward to the left.
04:03I don't think he knew he was there.
04:08Oh, that's brilliant play by Vieira.
04:10Oh, dear, oh, dear.
04:12And that's a reaction to having the shirt pull.
04:15Humphreys gets involved.
04:16Well, this is all a bit predictable.
04:19Because it's been getting increasingly out.
04:21Plus, very silly.
04:22No reason for Dicanio to get involved at all.
04:25Peter Rudi doing an excellent job in calming down the Italian.
04:28That was a shirt pull by Vimyov.
04:31And an overreaction by Patrick Vieira.
04:38And Winterburn and Dicanio had nothing to do with it.
04:41And Dicanio has been sent off.
04:44And has pushed on.
04:45Flap the referee.
04:46His career in English football could come to a very sudden end.
04:50Utterly ridiculous by Dicanio.
04:53Had no reason to get involved in that whatsoever.
04:56And he pushed the referee over.
04:58And I believe his Premiership career might well be at an end.
05:03This is what started it.
05:04Two hounding Vieira, who played it really well.
05:08And as he turned, Vimyov grabbed him.
05:11Vieira got up, reacted with Young.
05:13Who fell down.
05:15Not entirely because of the push.
05:17He made it worse.
05:19The referee then is smiling.
05:20Humphreys gets involved.
05:22Dicanio gets involved with Keogh.
05:25Keogh having no part to play.
05:27Then Winterburn's got to come.
05:29He sees it is his job to protect Martin Keogh from Dicanio.
05:35And this is the end of it.
05:39The red card being shown to Dicanio.
05:45And the red card is shown too to Martin Keogh.
05:48Who is extremely upset about it.
05:51Seemed to be he was only protecting himself when Dicanio came across.
05:56But now, is he going to sort out?
05:58It's a yellow card for Vieira.
06:01Who smiles at the referee.
06:03He's a straight.
06:19Played by Vivas.
06:21This is Vimyok.
06:29and the players come off
06:32to high volume of boos
06:34at the end of a really poor half
06:37which the
06:40sending off of two players
06:42Martin Keown
06:43what for
06:44seemed to me to be challenged
06:46by Di Canio
06:47and was simply protecting himself
06:51good save
06:54three times
06:56freshman has denied Arsenal
07:01in his own
07:03inimitable fashion
07:07not a lot of curl
07:08Rudy who hit it away
07:27Manix Anderson
07:35Jovian
07:41two waiting in the middle
07:51Niklas Alexandersen is the player he will replace
07:55still short of match fitness
07:58but he's a bit further down the road to recovery
08:02Briscoe has appeared in the last two matches
08:05Amazon is dead
08:13Hawker
08:25took it cleanly away from Vivas
08:28Huffies
08:30Atherton
08:31and Gold
08:32was more aware than most
08:43had an hour of contest
08:46no goals
08:47plenty to talk about
08:48oh that's a good save by Manninger from Tog
08:59oh that's back for the form of last season
09:03powerful header
09:06and a very good tip away
09:08very good tip away
09:20very good tip away
09:34no chance of the match
09:35no chance of the match

09:39no chance of the match
09:40pinch-cliffs cross
09:42goalkeeper
09:43couldn't take it
09:44and should have been given no chance
09:46but was able to parry it away
09:54a bit hurried and plurried again there
09:57Alex Manninger
09:59bold
10:01chance here
10:02played early by Verkamp
10:03but inaccurately
10:15Walker caught in possession
10:17three on two
10:18parlay to the right
10:19not a good ball to Anelka
10:21from Anelka
10:22another good save
10:23but it wasn't a good pass by Anelka
10:27this hitch click
10:31Rudy
10:35and an own goal
10:36no
10:40no wonder he smiled
10:42didn't miss the path
10:44most by much
10:47Rudy's cross
10:48Adam's made his first mistake of the match
10:53and it produces only a corner
11:03and he's made five now
11:05worthy of the crowd to play
11:06really struck it well
11:08and Anelka
11:09very good turn away
11:19out out out is the shot
11:23Berkamp waits on the left
11:25touchline
11:25Anelka
11:27it's got inside

11:32Nürnberg
11:33number eight
11:35share of Arsenal
11:36all my right
11:37is being filled
11:38useful
11:39good clearance again
11:41by Tom
11:41greater enterprise
11:43in the closing stages
11:44strength challenge
11:46by Bivas
11:51Yonk
11:54Chris go
11:57yes
12:12manninger
12:14pulled by the shot
12:17and
12:18Jeffield Wednesday
12:19are going to beat the champions
12:33I'm quite sure what Briscoe was doing there
12:37Anelka
12:37and
12:38Anelka
12:38absorbs it out
12:38as we move into the last minute
12:40and here's Humphries
12:42could tie it all up
12:44taking so many touches
12:51really had no confidence
12:53he was going to be successful
13:00and he has blown the final whistle
13:05Arsenal beaten for the first time this season
13:08and Briscoe's goal for the record
13:10the 90th scored
13:11by Sheffield Wednesday
13:13in home matches against Arsenal
13:15over the years
13:17Arsene Wenger
13:18finding that history
13:20does not lie
13:21this has not been a happy ground for Arsenal
13:23if anyone wants here
13:24in the last 14 years
13:26it's a match
13:28in which there were opportunities
13:29for the champions
13:31who for much of it
13:32were the better of the two sides
13:35but Briscoe
13:36who'd missed
13:36the best chance of the afternoon
13:39finally made one count
13:41but the man of the match
13:43without any question
13:44is Kevin Pressman
13:45and the headlines of the match
13:47would come from the two
13:49sendings off
13:50and from moments
13:52in which many players
13:53did their game
13:55no credit at all
13:58which led up
13:59to the sendings off
14:00I think there was a lot of
14:01jiggery-pokery going on
14:02wasn't there
14:03you know
14:03and there was a bit of kicking
14:04I think there was some
14:05fish went flying as well
14:07you know
14:07and Paul has reacted
14:09and there's no
14:10I can't condone it
14:11it's just absolute stupidity
14:12I don't know what's gone through his mind
14:14but obviously
14:15at this moment in time
14:15you know
14:16we've suspended him
14:17which is
14:17the first thing we can do
14:19straight away
14:19obviously because we know
14:20the seriousness of the incident
14:21you know
14:22and obviously we'll wait now
14:23for the FA hearing
14:25and just it
14:26it was eyes
14:27eyes
