Welcome to my blog its been a couple of days since i entered one but that was due to not having the time to get something to come to mind but i am starting this now so hopefully something will come to mind in the end to well that is the plan only a matter of time to see if it turns out that way.
After being away from Wembley for 8 years the Carling Cup was back at the home of English football and Tottenham was the happier fan base leaving the ground after coming from 1-0 down to a some what of a bad call from the referee but Tottenham did draw the game level with a spot kick of there own but this time the ref got it spot on Wayne Bridge used his hand to get the ball under control and the lineman spotted it and sign to the referee what he had saw the game ended with it being 1-1 to take it to extra time, I turned it over and forgot about extra time but when i did turn it back Tottenham where 2-1 up thanks to Woodgate going up for a corner and getting his head on it to get his first Tottenham goal and what i time to get it i may be a Millwall fan but it was a happy time for me seeing Chelsea losing just goes to show that money cant buy you titles and cups.
There wasn’t just the carling cup this weekend there was a hole lot of football being played it was a great weekend for football well that was for the fans anyways it wasn’t that great for Arsenal player Eduardo after playing Birmingham the 3rd min of the game he was hit with a tackle that could see him being out of the game for a hell of a long time that is if he comes back, if you didn’t watch the match Eduardo was sadly hit with a tackle that saw him break his leg i would put pictures up but seeing them after it happen it was just a sick thing to look at, the Birmingham player got sent of for the tackle i didn’t see the tackle so i couldn’t judge the referee on that one but even being down to 10 men Birmingham come at Arsenal and they took the lead but they lost the lead and found them self down 2-1 until the 93rd min when the Arsenal full back Gael Clichy was to have foul Stuart Parnaby in the box but looking at the tackle i am sorry for any Birmingham fans reading but what a cheat that player is there was no foul there and i have seen the tackle about 10 times but these things happen in football so James McFadden steps up and powers it home from the spot to get his 2nd of the game and to give Birmingham the point which was well earned by Birmingham overall.
Other games this weekend saw Middlesbrough go 1-0 up against Liverpool but Torres had didn’t ideas about that game and won it for Liverpool by getting his first Hat-Trick in the league for Liverpool to win the game 3-2 that wasn’t the only high scoring game this week Man Utd beating poorly Newcastle 5-1 Rooney and Ronaldo was having fun against Newcastle and picking up 2 goals each rounded off a great game for them to cut the lead that Arsenal have to 3 points as Arsenal fail to win early in the day against Birmingham, yet another lost to add to the poor old Derby this weekend at the hands of Wigan at the JJB doesn’t matter how hard Derby try they just cant get any points but at least they will have the team to come back up next season when they go down
