great teams would lose 5-1. man utd also did lost 5-1 to newcastle some seasons back.

5-1 would give you the boasting/gloating for a few days or weeks perhaps but come May, when we look at the trophy cabinet, what have Spurs won?

"Yeah man...we beat the gunners 5-1, and we have won...aaaaahhhhhh...???? anyway we beat 'em 5-1 and the last time we won a good cup/title was..... aaaahhhhhh"

Gunners and Red Devils couls still smile and say AHHH.... when we looked at out trophy cabinet...

just won a battle..not yet the war..

'The score doesn't reflect what happened on the pitch'

Tottenham H. 5-1 Arsenal

Carling Cup S/F Leg 2

White Hart Lane

Tue, Jan 22, 2008, 8pm






On the way the game went...
"Of course it is disappointing because we lost. I feel that everything went against us. We were always in the situation where we were chasing the score. We were open to counterattacking and we were not mature enough to stop the counterattacking."
On the scoreline...
"The score is very high and very brutal but I think it does not reflect what happened on the pitch. The first shot on goal was a goal, the second goal was an own goal, the third was straight after half time. After that, the game was over. It had no real meaning after that. They could concentrate on defending and catching us on the break. I don't give a big meaning to the importance of the score. It can be explained by the way the game went."
On regrets...
"My only regret is playing [some of] the players who played. We go into the season with many targets and every season we go in with that priority in this competition. It is good to see that some players have potential and some are not completely ready yet."
On the Carling Cup being a priority ...
"Not at all frankly."
On the second half scoring...
"That was dictated by the game. They defended like mad and they caught us on the break. We were 2-0 down, they only have 45 minutes to last. I don't see where you can be surprised."
On the education of the Carling Cup...
"It is part of the learning process. When you are a footballer you have to deal with disappointments. That is part of it all. You have to take that on board. When you a footballer you lose games, it is how you respond and deal with that."
On the reaction to this defeat...
"We live in a world where the last game is always a definitive conclusion. But it is not as simple as that. To educate young players great patience is needed aswell as a comprehensive attitude and tolerance. That is my problem not yours."
 
Wenger said the score did not reflect the match. He’s right there. Tottenham could have had seven.

8 internationals/7 first team players by the end of the game?

arse*** at war as Adebayor clash bloodies Bendtner nose

Dominic Fifield at White Hart lane
Wednesday January 23, 2008
The Guardian

arse*** departed the Carling Cup with a snarl last night as Emmanuel Adebayor and Nicklas Bendtner were involved in an ugly spat in the home side's penalty area which left the Denmark international with a cut on the bridge of his nose and blood staining his shirt.

Frustration boiled over late on when, with the visitors trailing 4-1 and preparing to take a corner, Bendtner, who had already put through his own net, and the substitute Adebayor started pushing and shoving each other at the far post. Tempers were frayed further once the Dane had been cut - there were suggestions that he had been head-butted by his team-mate - with the pair eventually separated by their captain, William Gallas. He also remonstrated angrily with Bendtner, while Eduardo da Silva and Bacary Sagna dragged Adebayor from the scene.

That prompted the referee Howard Webb to approach both strikers, with Bendtner's nose already swelling up, and admonish them for their actions before Cesc Fábregas's corner was taken. The rest of the game was played out to an uneasy truce, the unused substitute Mathieu Flamini bellowing from the dug-out at Adebayor to "calm down". Arsène Wenger insisted he had been unaware of the incident. Regardless, a member of arse***'s medical staff appeared to hold Adebayor back at the mouth of the tunnel while the rest of the visiting players trudged back to the dressing room.

"I think everyone was disappointed about the score," Gallas said of the clash. "It was difficult to accept but we were very nervous and we lost our calm. They know they made a mistake and maybe they'll have to speak to the boss now and explain what they did. They are both young but they have to understand."

The incident was a bitter way for arse*** to exit the competition, with Wenger admitting the 5-1 thrashing was a "brutal" result and suggesting that his younger players may not have been ready for the contest. "We were not mature enough to stop their counter-attacking," admitted Wenger. "My players have potential, but you could see that some players were not completely ready for that. We were always running after the score, taking risks and being at risk at to the counter-attack. But it's part of a learning process. When you're a football player you have to deal with disappointments."

oh the adebayor/bendtner clash was hilarious..
screw the cup..i dont care if we dont win it..this was good enough ;)
 
unsane - u MUST b e a spurs fan .... finally something for u lot to crow about ya? :mrgreen:

Wenger's right.

L Fabianski - not top flight material and will never be AFC no 1.

Justin Hoyte may be Eng - U21 intenational but is still suspect at centre back. As a right back he is less mistake prone.

A Traore - lotsa potential but he aint no Gael Clinchy just yet

Gilberto - one of his worst performance and was guilty of not tracking jenas whenthe 1st goal went in. His best days are over, sad to say.

Abou Diaby - infuriated me with mistimed passes, off target shooting and delayed balls, need smore 1st team expirience.

Nic Bentdner - the guys had the cheek to demand to Wenger that he should be in the 1st team????
The boys got A LOT to learn. Wenger best lay down the law with this strong headed youngster or show him the door.

Theo Walcott - Im beginning to think he wont make it at AFC, seems to me he's just like that other AFC reject Jermaine Pennant now floundering at pool.

What I did love was Adebayor's non stop running, chasing, tracking back and all - full effort for the cause he he's clearly an AFC man and a world superstar for the near future.

BRING ON NEWCASTLE!

Adebayor - We're united and can achieve a fantastic season

By Richard Clarke


Emmanuel Adebayor believes Arsenal’s unity and focus will enable them to put last night’s defeat at Tottenham behind them and achieve “a fantastic season”.
The Togolese striker came off the bench to score the visitors’ only goal in the 5-1 defeat at White Hart Lane in the Carling Cup Semi-Final second leg.
It was a disappointing night for Arsenal and passions were running high late on as they sought to find a way back into the tie. Afterwards, Adebayor remained optimistic about the team’s chances in the remaining three competitions this season.
“We are a strong unit and what happened last night against Spurs will strengthen our desire and determination to compete for other targets,” he said.
“Overall I think that we should have been more calm during the game and although I was pleased to get a goal back for the team when I came on, I am sorry for the disagreement with my team-mate Nicklas.
“We are both passionate about this Club and sometimes that can be projected in the wrong way. It was a mistake. We want to focus on the games ahead and rely on our squad’s great togetherness to achieve a fantastic season.”
