SPURS ARE BOTTOM OF THE LEAGUE! Yes, with Wigan and Portsmouth winning, and West Brom winning a point, this leaves Juande Ramos's men the only pointless club in the Premier League (add your own joke here). NB: This writer is a Spurs fan.

16:57 FULL-TIME Everton 0-3 Portsmouth

16:55 FULL-TIME West Ham 4-1 Blackburn.

16:55 FULL-TIME Middlesbrough 2-1 Stoke


16:54 FULL-TIME Hull 0-5 Wigan


16:54 FULL-TIME Bolton 0-0 West Brom


16:50 GOAL! Craig Bellamy makes it 3-1 to West Ham - and the points must surely be theirs. And as if to make sure, Carlton Cole hits a fourth in the final minute - 4-1.

GOA...no it isn't! 16:48 Kevin Davies thinks he's won it for Bolton at home to West Brom but his left-volley is judged to be hit from an offside position. And would you believe it - a minute later he scores again but is offside. Oh dear...

16:43 GOAL! Stoke's resistance has faltered right at the end... Boro make it 2-1 thanks to Tuncay's strike after Sorensen had kept out Didier Digard's long-range effort.

16:41 GOAL! And now it's five! Zaki's second makes it a total jod bone for Wigan and a tough lesson for Phil Brown's men.


16:39 GOAL! Wigan are running riot at Hull - it's like a rugby score! 4-0, with a corking strike from Emile Ivanhoe Heskey.


16:33 GOAL! Ten-man Stoke HAVE EQUALISED! And after Boro missed a penalty a few minutes ago. Justin Hoyte, on his debut for Boro, has put through his own net under pressure from Dave Kitson. And Jermain Defoe has made it 3-0 for Pompey at Goodison - his 100th goal in League football.

16:26 GOAL! Amir Zaki scores for Wigan - and at 0-3 it's curtains for Hull. Not a good day for Humberside sports fans, with Rugby League's Challenge Cup Final being lost to St Helens.

ANOTHER PENALTY MISS! This time at Middlesbrough, where winger Stewart Downing crashed his spot-kick against the bar rather than put the match very probably beyond Stoke.

16:21 GOAL! Wolves 5-1 up at home to Forest thanks to Michael Kightly - and revitalised Chester now 4-0 up on Barnet with three goals in six minutes.

PENALTY SAVES! NOT ONE BUT TWO! By England keepers as well! Robert Green gets down to stop Jason Roberts equalising for Blackburn at Upton Park, and David James has prevented Everton from pulling a goal back at home to Portsmouth by beating out Yakubu's decently struck pen. Games(s) on!

Half-time around the country - and time to take a breather. Pompey and Wigan look good for wins, while Paul Ince's return to Upton Park is not quite going to plan.

Joy at the Deva Stadium if Chester can hang on to their 1-0 half-time lead at home to Barnet, as they hadn't even found the net this season until today after having been humped 6-0 on day one.

15:42 GOAL! Pompey seem to have found their scoring touch now - Glen Johnson has put them 2-0 up at Everton after a sweet one-two with Jermain Defoe.

15:38 GOAL! Today is going from bad to worse for Stoke - now 1-0 down at Boro thanks to an Afonso Alves goal.

15:37 OFF! First Premier red of the day! And it's Amdy Faye of those big bruisers Stoke - leaving them down to ten men at Middlesbrough.

15:35 GOAL! And as if by way of response to Alan Plank, news in that Bristol Rovers have gone 2-1 up at lovable Leeds thanks to Daryl Duffy.

Alan Plank from Hammersmith says: "Premiership pah! What about the real leagues?" Well Alan, we do our best with what we have – for all the scores n stats you want you can find them HERE

15:23 GOAL! Loads of action at Upton Park - West Ham are now 2-1 up after a goal each in a minute, with a scrambled goal from Dean Ashton putting them 2-0 up before Jason Roberts pulled one back for the ever-popular Paul Ince's men.

15:17 GOAL! Lower league fans, look now - Port Vale's Marc Richards has bagged his fourth of the season to help his side to an early lead against Bournemouth - which has made my boss Rob a lot cheerier.

15:13 GOAL! West Ham take the lead at home to Blackburn thanks to Callum Davenport, and Luis Valencia has doubled Wigan's lead at Hull.

15:10 GOAL! Portsmouth are off the mark for the season - Jermain Defoe has given them the lead at Everton.

It’s also FA Cup day today – yes, the long-awaited Pre-qualifying round. We’re following one match in particular in our ROAD TO WEMBLEY feature – find out who we’re following here.

15:05 GOAL! Wigan have scored the Premier League's first goal of the day... well actually it's an own goal by Hull's Sam Ricketts, but Latics fans won't care - they're in the lead.

Phil Shuntley from Marlow asks: "Is Saha playing for Everton? To be honest Phil, his fitness record is such I’d be surprised if he made it up the steps of the team bus. But no, he isn’t in the squad for today....

Don't forget that the Carling Cup third round draw was made earlier this afternoon - the time when the big boys enter the competition. Holders Tottenham go to Newcastle, while Man Utd host Middlesbrough and minnows Liverpool will face the mighty Crewe.

Blackpool have just beaten Southampton at St Mary's in today's early fixture - a Ben Burgess penalty on the stroke of half-time enough to overcome Jan Poortvliet's young side.

Stoke lose the Beast
Preston have signed Stoke striker Jon Parkin for a fee of around £500,000. He could play in today's game against Charlton. Stoke are also unchanged for their game against Middlesbrough.

Hull new boy
Hull have signed defender Paul McShane on a season-long loan from Sunderland, the Barclays Premier League newcomers have announced on their website. Talking about Hull.. 39 year-old Dean Windass could make his first Premier League start today!
