Stoke appear to have scored after firing in a header, but Peter Crouch blocks the ball and clears despite being behind the goal line.[LNB]Replays show it is miles over, Spurs will be very lucky if they win this one.[LNB]16.46: Stoke are all over Spurs and only Gomes is keeping the north Londoners in that one, meanwhile Everton still doing all the pressing at Goodison Park.[LNB]16.42: GOAL! West Ham 1-3 Bolton[LNB]He couldn't hit a barn door last season but he is on fire today Johan Elmander grabs his second and ends the West Ham fightback barely moments after it started.[LNB]16.41: GOAL! Arsenal 6-0 Blackpool[LNB]Marouane Chamakh joins in the party and headers home to get his first goal for the club.[LNB]16.39: GOAL! West Ham 1-2 Bolton[LNB]Interesting, the actual penalty is debateable depending where you stand on the advantage rule. Either way though Mark Noble has pulled one back.[LNB]16.38: PENALTY! (West Ham)[LNB]16.37: GOAL! West Brom 1-0 Sunderland[LNB]Very very sorry Sunderland fans, just as I posted that Peter Odemwingie sends the Hawthorns in to raptures after prodding home from close range to score on his debut.[LNB]16.35: Approaching the last 10 minutes, and it's all Stoke at the Britannia stadium, not much action from the Hawthorns though I'm afraid.[LNB]16.33: GOAL! Everton 1-1 Wolves[LNB]This must be their first attack, either way it's a well taken goal. A Wolves counter sees Sylvan Ebanks-Blake gran an unexpected equaliser.[LNB]16.32: GOAL! Birmingham 2-1 Blackburn[LNB]Craig Gardner is the hero, sending a stunning finish past Paul Robinson from distance, City have turned it around.[LNB]16.28: GOAL! West Ham 0-2 Bolton[LNB]How's your luck? Johan Elmander has doubled Bolton's lead and what a miserable afternoon this is becoming or Avram Grant.[LNB] On the run: James Morrison (centre) skips past two Sunderland defenders[LNB] [LNB]16.26: It gets worse for West Ham too, As a result of the own goal, Matthew Upson has had to go off with Winston Reid on to replace him.[LNB]16.23: Bad news for Ian Holloway, Cesc Fabregas and Robin van Persie come on for the Gunners, hide behind the sofa if your a Blackpool fan.[LNB]16.17: GOAL! Birmingham 1-1 Blackburn[LNB]Great response from city, James McFadden plays a delightful ball which finds Craig Gardner to put away the equaliser[LNB] Three-asy does it: Theo Walcott grabs his hat-trick as Arsenal go 5-0 up against Blackpool[LNB]16.16: GOAL! Arsenal 5-0 Blackpool[LNB]That's the hat-trick! Theo Walcott has torn Blackpool apart and oput away his third and Arsenal's fifth with still half an hour to go yet.[LNB]16.14: GOAL! Birmingham 0-1 Blackburn[LNB]Pedersen makes up for his penalty miss by sending a fine ball for Steven N'Zonzi to fire home[LNB]16.11: What a save! Ben Foster saves Morten Gamst Pedersen penalty after Nikola Zigic brought down Chris Samba[LNB]16.10: PENALTY! (Blackburn)[LNB] New man: Martin Petrov takes on Julien Faubert[LNB] [LNB]16.09: GOAL! West Ham 0-1 Bolton[LNB]Hammers fans I feel for you, Matthew Upson has headed in to the back of his own net, and after all that pressure from the first half West Ham now find themselves a goal down.[LNB]16.08: GOAL! Arsenal 4-0 Blackpool[LNB]I didn't even get to finish my last sentance before that one went in. Abou Diably has struck and this could get embarrassing.[LNB] Scramble: Birmingham keeper Ben Foster punches clear[LNB]16.07: Up and running again, Blackpool will be hoping to try and limit this to just...[LNB]15.53: If it's any consolation Hammers fans, West Ham were very much on top against Bolton following that shaky start. Jussi Jaaskelainen (another long name) keeping Bolton in that one.[LNB]15.48: Half-time in all the Premier league games.[LNB]15.42: GOAL! Everton 1-0 Wolves[LNB]It's been coming and Tim Cahill finally puts the Toffees in front, crashing home from the edge of the six yard box.[LNB]15.38: GOAL! Arsenal 3-0 Blackpool[LNB]Heads up: West Brom's Peter Odemwingie[LNB] Theo Walcott grabs a double, and I fear for Blackpool's goal difference this afternoon and we have not even seen half-time yet.[LNB]15.35: They are due some luck but they are really not getting it right now, West Ham's penalty is missed by Carlton Cole and are the Hammers just in for another of those afternoons?[LNB]15.34: PENALTY! (West Ham)[LNB]15.34: GOAL! Arsenal 2-0 Blackpool[LNB]Welcome to the Premier League Blackpool. Andrey Arshavin converts the penalty and damage limitations must be the order of the day for the Seasiders now.[LNB]15.33: RED CARD Ian Evatt has been sent off for Blackpool and Arsenal have a penalty. This could be a long afternoon for Holloway's side.[LNB]15.33: PENALTY! (Arsenal)[LNB] Welsh wonder: Gareth Bale celebrates scoring Spurs' opening goal[LNB]15.31: GOAL! Stoke 1-2 Tottenham[LNB]Stunning, that IS a left foot wonder whack! Gareth Bale has showed amazing technique to hit the sweetest left foot volley you may see all season![LNB]15.28: There I go again jinxing things, I rephrase, all the north London GAMES are producing goals.[LNB]15.26: GOAL! Stoke 1-1 Tottenham[LNB]Not a fine moment for Heurelho Gomes as a Stoke corner causes madness in the Spurs penalty box, and Ricardo Fuller finishes past the Brazilian who was all over the place there.[LNB] Battle: El Hadji Diouf and Barry Ferguson tussle for the ball at St Andrews[LNB]15.25: The north London sides providing all the goals so far (albeit all two of them) been a fairly quiet afternoon so far as far as net busters are concerned.[LNB]15.20: GOAL! Stoke 0-1 Tottenham[LNB]It's Gareth Bale, but it's not one of his sweet left foot strikes. A goalmouth scramble see this one just hit his chest and go in from close range, they all count though.[LNB]15.14: So close! Nearly an instant reply from Blackpool as Gary Taylor-Fletcher nearly continues his fine Premier League start, rising high above Gael Clichy to header just wide when he should at least hit the target. You won't get many more chances as guilt edged as that at Arsenal.[LNB] I'm back: Walcott fires Arsenal in to the lead[LNB]15.12: GOAL! Arsenal 1-0 Blackpool[LNB]Any evidence that the World Cup is now history is on on show at the Emirates as Capello reject Theo Walcott finishes off a fine Arsenal move (as ever) from close range.[LNB]15.11: No goals in the opening ten minutes despite Everton's ridiculous dominance against Wolves, Blackpool still holding their own at Arsenal while Bolton are still causing West Ham problems.[LNB]15.09: Why are all the players with long and awkward names causing all the action? At the Hawthorns Peter Odemwingie found himself through on goal but couldn't find the finish to cap off a dream start to his life in the Premier League.[LNB]15.06: Everton are swarming all over Wolves at the moment and Diniyar Bilyaletdinov has gone close, just failing to get clean contact on a strike as the ball broke outside the Wolves box.[LNB]15.02: Early days but West Ham are rocking Johan Elmander hits a sweet strike on the edge of the 18 yard box but it flies just wide, that's the last thing the Hammers need right now.[LNB]14.56: Other news see Jermaine Beckford get his first start for Everton while Kieron Dyer makes just his eighth start in three years, he has much catching up to do.[LNB]14.52: Spurs fears have been realised as well with the artificial service at Young Boys doing more than nearly humiliate Harry Redknapp's side, as the Spurs manager is left with just one fit striker in Peter Crouch, against a Stoke side who are very handy at home.[LNB]One blow for the Tony Pilis' side though is Kenwyne Jones just failed in proving his fitness and he will have to wait a little longer to make his home debut.[LNB]14.49: No Cesc Fabregas or Robin van Persie (to start at least) for Ian Holloway to contend with as he tries to lead a Blackpool side to their first away win over the Gunners for 52 years.[LNB]14.46: West Brom and Sunderland fans fear not I have not forgot about your sides, here is the team news from The Hawthorns.[LNB]West Brom v SunderlandWest Brom: Carson, Jara, Tamas, Olsson, Cech, Morrison, Dorrans, Mulumbu, Brunt, Odemwingie, Thomas.
