World Football Thread XIX: Capello to the Rescue!

If he plays. I honestly think it would be a good result for Spurs to end the game with 11 players.

CH, what's been hapening to Arsenal? First of all Spurs somehow return from teh dead against you, then you get beaten by Stoke, possibly the crappest team in the Premiership (although no one has figured a way of stopping Delap yet it seems...)

Also, Maqi, that was another lucky escape...

Not our fault they wasted so much possession.

Now above the bar codes too.

I'm going to the North London Derby next week in expectation of a fighting performance from the Totts, who are always up for it when they play us. I wouldn't be surprised if David Bentley scores.

At least you got your money's worth

Maybe I should have put my money where my fears were. Not that I could ever bet against my team.

A blip, I hope - plus the fact that Arsenal are never at their best against physical teams. They play better against footballing sides, as was just seen in the superb match against Man Utd. Screwing up in the last minute against Spurs after outplaying them for most of the match affected the team in the next game against Stoke, and the Delap throw-in effect added to that.

Enjoy Stoke's campaign It's looking like it's gonna be a hell of a close season for everyone in the bottom 12 spots.

Wow, the Arsenal kids in the Carling Cup are a joy to behold.

Vela is superb. Looking like Spurs might be getting rid of Giovani, which is a shame as he hasn't had a proper run in the team yet, but I don't think he's 'Arry's type of player.

Poor old Pompey. What a result against Milan that nearly was. Credit to Inzaghi and Ronaldinho - great goals.

I can't help wondering what RM were thinking. At least Ramos speaks the language this time. Mind you, is Martin Jol still having a good run with Hamburg?

The Giggs freekick? I thought it was in.

Giggs was actually more dangerous for his 20mins than Ronaldo was all game.
