On cup final day, the result is more important than the performance. Tottenham Hotspur provided both as they deservedly won their first trophy this century after outplaying CSKA Fulham at Wembley today. While the game wasn’t the most exciting as a spectacle (when are cup finals ever?), a heroic Spurs fightback saw them peg back the holders after going 1-0 down to a Didier Drogba free-kick in the first half. CSKA have not had their full compliment of players for some time. Today saw the return of ‘Fwank’ Lampard (Lumpo’lard?) and John Terry. Add that to the fact the club’s African contingent were all back gave Avram Grant with one of those selection headaches that managers up and down the country would love. The CSKA bench consisted of Joe Cole, Michael Ballack and Alex. The term

live at yourglobaltv.comIn The Balance North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham go into battle on Wednesday with their semi-final finely poised after the 1-1 draw in the first leg at the Emirates.Tottenham took the lead against Arsene Wenger’s young guns two weeks ago with a Jermaine Jenas goal after 37 minutes, only for Theo Walcott to rescue a draw with a rather lucky equaliser 11 minutes from time with Tottenham looking to hold on for the win. Arsenal would have left the happier of the two sides with Spurs assistant Gus Poyet frustrated not to take a lead into the second leg. "We were the better team. We deserved to win but it's a 180-minute game and there are still 90 to go," he said. Juande Aiming For Cup Glory Although Juande Ramos wasn’t in charge for either this season’s le

Arsenal will face North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the semifinals of the Carling Cup for the second season running. The other semifinal will be a tough contest between Everton and Chelsea.Arsenal made it through to the semifinals after a thrilling 3-2 victory over Blackburn Rovers, while Tottenham barely had to fight to defeat Manchester City, despite playing 70 minutes with 10 men after the sending off of Didier Zokora.The Gunners defeated their bitter rivals 5-3 on aggregate last season, drawing the away leg 2-2 before defeating Spurs 3-1 at the Emirates after two extra time goals from Jeremie Aliadiere and Tomas Rosicky. They crashed out of the cup in the finals after losing to Jose Mourinho's Chelsea.Arsenal have already defeated Tottenham once this season, and face them again in only three days.The last Premier League fixture between the two sides was an emphatic Arsenal victory at White Heart Lane. The Gunners were trailing early after a Gareth Bale free kick, but pulled
First and foremost - what a fantastic result. Many teams will go to Ewood Park and struggle. Many will be lucky to go there and get a victory. Even our first team only got a draw there this season. Ok, the victory came after extra time but considering our second string have knocked out another full strength Premier League side is magnificent. Last year it was Tottenham, this year it was Newcastle and now Blackburn. We rode our luck, but you must expect this with such an inexperienced side, but we also played some sublime football.
Each goal was a moment of beauty in itself. The first came after some neat build up play and Diaby put away Bendtner's inviting cross. Eduardo then finished off moves ending with two perfect through balls. I know Samba missed the ball through from Denilson, but the weight and direction was still perfectly into the striker's path. We did look shaky at the back afte
So, Blackburn away - never a nice trip to make. A 1-1 draw this season was far less than we deserved but also more than we have got there in recent visits. Last season we went out in the FA Cup to a late Benni McCarthy strike after, in my view, Wenger underestimated Blackburn. He went with an understrengthed side that seemed to lack a cutting edge and we were duly dumped out of the cup. Tomorrow a similarly understrengthed team will walk out in the freezing cold at Ewood Park.
As we have seen in previous years Wenger has gone with a reserve side in the Carling Cup. This team has had two brilliant results: a 2-0 victory against a strong Newcastle side and a comprehensive 3-0 win up North at Sheffield United. These results give me confidence that this side can give Blackburn a real tough game, but will it be enough? Mark Hughes will go with his first team and it will be a really hard game for the Young Guns to win. The
Lassana Diarra was born on March 10, 1985 in Paris, France. He is a French footballer of Malian descent. His predominant position is that of a defensive midfielder and can also play at right back. On August 31, 2007 with minutes left before the transfer window closed Arsenal announced they had reached an agreement with Chelsea for the player. It is rumoured that the fee was £2million. He cited Gunners manager Arsene Wenger as one of the main reasons for joining the club, and the style of football his Arsenal team play. Those who have seen this 22 yr old midfielder/Utility defender who wears the number 8 Shirt will agree that if true, this fee represents a real bargain. Diarra made his Arsenal debut in September, coming on for the closing stages of the Champions League tie with Sevilla. He made his first full start one week later against Newcastle in the Carling Cup and put in a performance that underlined his outstanding qualities. Despite his unwise recent comments in
Man Utd vs Coventry City 1.920 0:1 1/2 2.000It will be interesting to see how Ferguson will pick his team for this game. Rooney continued his nagging and pleading with Fergie to let him play in this one. He might just oblige and hand Rooney the captain's armband as well. It may only be a Carling Cup 3rd round which traditionally is 4th on Ferguson's priority list but with the kind of players i reckon will be on his 1st team tonight might make this matchup to be a very one-sided affair. The BIG FOUR i picked should all have a good chance to get themselves on the scoresheet tonight. Ian Dowie is going to make a few changes to the backline which is by far shaky in the month of September conceding a total of 9 goals in 4 matches. If Man Utd manage to grab a early goal the floodgates might just open up for them.Take Man Utd at -1 1/2Bet: SGD18.76
The Shrimps were cut open by the Blades and there was no doubts yesterday who had premiership status last season. A early 1st half double by Billy Sharp deflated Morecambe. Second half double by Luton Shelton and debut strike by Lee Hendrie ensured that the Shrimps did not look likely to repeat their giant-killing feat again.Bet: SGD16.51Winnings: SGD16.51 X 1.95 = SGD32.19
Sheffield Utd vs Morecambe 1.95 0 : 1 1/4 1.95 Expect Bryan Robson to pick a 1st eleven team against a team which has success against Teams above it(they have beaten Wolves and Preston). But the question is will the Shrimps be able to keep up their over-performing by their standards and perhaps the answer is no. Robson's men may have problems defensively especially in away games but when they are at home it is a totally different story. I see Utd taking the game by 2-3 goals.

On Sunday, the Carling cup final was played at Cardiff’s Millenium stadium. Contested between Arsenal and Chelsea, to say it was a hard forught and exciting match is somewhat of an understatement.
The game started genially enough with both sides playing their normal attractive foortball. In the 16th minute, 17 year old Theo Walcott gave Arsenal the lead by ghosting around Ricardo Carvalho and deftly slotting the ball home. Arsenal’s advantage only lasted 6 minutes though before Chelsea’s on form Didier Drogba snatched a goal after being given the benefit of the doubt and judged onside. To me it did look like offside, with only a defender Manuel Almunia’s leg possibly saving the goal from being disallowed. Until half time, Arsenal looked the better side, with their inexperienced young team asking questions of Chelsea’s expensive all star cast.
In the second half, the game levelled out into a midfield tussle, with few chances at either end. Then the scary

The Carling Cup semi-final between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur remains finely balanced ahead of the second leg on Wednesday night, live on Sky Sports 1.
The Gunners mounted a fine comeback to draw 2-2 at White Hart Lane last week and Arsene Wenger will be looking for his side to finish the job at Emirates Stadium.
With their local rivals’ youngsters receiving praise from all quarters following the draw, Tottenham’s senior squad are out to prove a point and keep a potential avenue to European football alive - with Chelsea awaiting the victors in the final.
Arsenal’s young guns have produced superb displays to dispose of West Brom, Everton and Liverpool to get to the semi-final, but their Carling Cup talisman Julio Baptista will miss the second leg against Spurs.
The Brazilian - who scored both goals at White Hart Lane and four against Liverpool - picked up a groin injury in the FA Cup clash with Bolton and will sit out the clash that could hand Arsenal their first

Manchester United have been sensationally dumped out of the Carling Cup by Southend. A Freddy Eastwood free kick put the Essex side ahead. The bottom-placed Championship side then faced sustained pressure from the Premiership leaders. But despite fielding a strong side, including Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo, Alex Ferguson's men were unable to reply and went out 1-0. There were joyous scenes in Essex as fans watched their struggling side progress to the quarter finals. Newcastle eased the pressure on Glenn Roeder by beating Watford on penalties. The Magpies led early on through Antoine Sibierski, but Damien Francis put Watford level to force extra time. Watford then went in front through Danny Shittu on 108 minutes. Scott Parker levelled the scores and the Tynesiders progressed 5-4 on penalties. Charlton ended Chesterfield's Carling Cup run with a penalty shoot-out victory following a 3-3 draw. Wycombe Wanderers also went through to the q
