I have to say that being under the influence of pain killers at the moment doesn't give one a
clear head. What a shame that I didn't do my usual and replies to the guys who kindly tried to rub
my face in it yesterday. Now most of Arsenal land knows that Fabregas the King of InsideArsenal is
no lover of Adebayor.
Arsenal will be at the top of the Premier League for at least 24 hours after defeating Newcastle
United 3-0 for the second successive time in only four days. The Gunners, who also beat Newcastle
3-0 in the FA Cup on Saturday, are now three points ahead of Manchester United, who face Portsmouth
at Old Trafford tomorrow.
Arsenal stayed at the top of the Premier League after defeating London rivals West Ham 2-0 at the
Emirates. Early goals from Eduardo and Emmanuel Adebayor sealed the victory for the Gunners.
Elsewhere, Manchester United and Chelsea both won, with the Reds keeping pace only two points
behind the Gunners.
Arsenal travel to the Turf Moor on Sunday to face Championship side Burnley in the third round of
the FA Cup.
The Pride of Lancashire, who have been under the management of former Falkirk boss Owen Coyle since
late November, will likely face an understrength Arsenal side, as Gunners boss Arsene Wenger tends
to blood young players in England's cup competitions.
Arsenal suffered an embarrassing defeat at the hands of arch-rivals Tottenham as the Spurs broke a
9 year winless streak against their bitter enemies in an emphatic fashion. The deserved 5-1 win was
the first time in 21 matches that the Gunners lost to their North London rivals, and was enough to
propel Juande Ramos' rejuvenated side into the finals of the Carling Cup where they will face the
winner of tomorrow's match between Chelsea and Everton.
Near the end of the Arsenal Tottenham Carling Cup semi-final last night, an altercation took place
between Adebayor and his strike partner Bendtner. They argued as they were waiting for a corner to
be delivered and Adebayor head butted Bendtner, cutting his nose. The referee Howard Webb spoke to
both players but took no action.
One of the most fascinating sideshows in the Spurs Arsenal Carling cup clash was the bust up
between Arsenal teammates Emmanuel Adebayor and Nicklas Bendtner - and now the dust has settled on
the incident, the press are falling over themselves to tell us all the gruesome details. According
to a [.
Arsenal face off against Newcastle for the second time in four days this Tuesday as they look to
record yet another win against the Magpies.
The Gunners have already defeated the Magpies twice this season, although they were held to a 1-1
draw in the league in early December. The latest match between the two sides was a 3-0 home win for
Arsenal as the Gunners progressed to the fifth round of the FA Cup on Saturday.
Second-placed Arsenal take on sixth-placed Manchester City this Saturday in the day's early
fixture. Arsene Wenger will be hoping to become the first manager to win at the City of Manchester
Stadium this season, as City look to break back into the European spots.
The stadium has become a fortress for City this season, seeing the Citizens drop only 6 points in
12 home games.
Arsenal fell apart in yesterday's thrashing by Tottenham. Already down 4-1 and with the game
already lost, two Arsenal players were involved in an altercation which saw Nicklas Bendtner and
Emmanuel Adebayor forced apart by Gunners captain William Gallas.
Adebayor allegedly headbutted the young Dane, who proceeded to confront the peacemaker, Gallas.
League leaders Arsenal host 16th-placed Birmingham on Saturday as the London giants look to stay
clear ahead of Manchester United at the top of the table.
The Gunners are unbeaten in their last nine games in all competitions, having won seven and drawn
two. They have not lost a game in the Premier League since early December, and have every reason to
believe that their recent unbeaten run will continue on Saturday.
Barclay's English Premier League leaders Arsenal may lose their top spot to Manchester United today
when the Red Devils host Newcastle United at Old Trafford. The Gunners went into the weekend two
points ahead of their nearest rivals, but dropped two unlikely points at home against lowly
Birmingham.
The Blues were outplayed throughout most of the 90 minutes, and Arsenal looked sure to win after
taking an early lead thanks to an Emmanuel Adebayor penalty kick.
Arsenal will try to produce an impressive performance at the Craven Cottage this Saturday to make
up for a poor show against Birmingham last weekend. The Gunners fell to second place on goal
differential last week after Manchester United routed a manager-less Newcastle side 6-0. Arsenal,
who drew 1-1 with relegation-threatened Birmingham at the Emirates, will be looking for a full
three points at Fulham and hoping that United slip up at Reading.
Before the game I called for a victory first and foremost. After the Birmingham it was important
to pick up three points again and if we could produce a good performance to boot then that would be
an added bonus. In the end, we got both and with the team Fulham had it was always going to go one
way.
Arsenal returned to their winning ways today after an impressive 3-0 victory over London rivals
Fulham. The victory completed the double over their London rivals, and kept up pressure on league
leaders Manchester United, who sit above Arsenal on goal differential after defeating Reading 2-0
at the Madejski.
Arsenal travel to White Heart Lane this Wednesday to face Tottenham in the return leg of the
Carling Cup semifinals. The Gunners have faced their London rivals three times this season,
resulting in two wins in the Premier League and a 1-1 draw in the first leg of this fixture.
The Gunners will be high on confidence after emphatically defeating Fulham 3-0 on the weekend.
Arsenal emphatically defeated Kevin Keegan's Newcastle in the FA Cup Fourth Round to dim memories
of an embarrassing defeat at White Hear Lane. The Gunners won 3-0 at the Emirates thanks to a
second half brace from Emmanuel Adebayor and a late own goal from Nicky Butt. Arsene Wenger will be
hoping that his team can repeat the victory when Newcastle travel to London to face Arsenal in the
Premier League on Tuesday.
Kevin Keegan's Newcastle United will travel to the Emirates this Saturday to face Arsenal in the
fourth round of the FA Cup. The 12th placed Magpies will be hopeful of pulling off an unlikely
victory after Arsenal crashed out of the Carling Cup in a 6-2 aggregate loss to Tottenham
Hotspur.
Keegan would like to get his second managerial spell at Newcastle off to a winning start, but he
faces tough opposition in the Gunners who will see the returns from injury of Gael Clichy and
Philippe Senderos.
