Woody the hero!!

Jonathan Woodgate scored in the first period of extra time to give Juande Ramos his first silverware in the first season in the English league. The £8 million, January signning, rose unchallenged, glanced a free-kick from Jermaine Jenas onto Cech's gloves and the ball then rebounded off the Spurs defender's face and into the net.

Didier Drogba's freekick in the 39th min gave Chelsea the lead, but Spurs was given a penalty when Wayne Bridge was adjudged to have handled the ball in the box. Dimitar Berbatov's penalty sent Petr Cech the wrong way.

Round up

Poor Eduardo broke his leg after Martin Taylor clusmy challenge only after 3 mins into the game.. Not only Arsenal lost a player for the rest of NEXT SEASON, they also dropped 2 precious points when Gael Clichy judged to had foul Stuart Parnaby in the box in the dying minutes. Good luck to Arsenal for the return leg of UEFA Champions League in Milan next week.

Fernando Torres's hat-trick secured 3 points for Liverpool's win over Boro. Torres is the first Reds player in 5 years to hit 20 goals in all competition.

Defending Champion Manchester United trashed Newcastle United 5 - 1. Ronaldo and Rooney both scored 2 each. Saha added Too's woe by scoring in the 90 mins.

Tonight, London derby for the Carling cup final.

soccersiao BERN's predict;

Tak Giu Land welcomes back the Barclays Premier League after last week unforgettable FA Cup in which Arsenal tore apart by Man United and Liverpool losing to Barnsley after leading at half-time.

in midweek Champions League action, Liverpool brushed aside Serie A leaders Inter Milan and the REDS will bring a 2-goal lead to the San Siro. Man United having leave it late again, levelling with only 3 minutes to go thru' Carlos Tevez, another advantage to go thru at the expense of French side Lyon. Chelsea boss Avram Grant rested both John Terry and Frank Lampard in their game against Greek side Olympiakos, and made to pay for it as no goals scored during the whole duration. Arsenal is in no panic mode yet as they could advanced to the last-8 with a score draw having drew 0-0 at the Emirates.


LIVERPOOL vs MIDDLESBROUGH
Liverpool trailing Everton for that 4th and last spot for next season Champions League, must NOT drop any more points. any slip-up Everton could drag further away as they play only on Monday night.

2/4 goals, D-H
LS: 3-1

NEWCASTLE vs MAN UNITED
in saturday late game, Man United travel to tyneside with a possible 8 points adrift from Arsenal at the top. this is a match that Ferguson wanna win, and win it badly.

veteran and captain Ryan Giggs is back from a minor knock sustained in France midweek. otherwise, manager Alex Ferguson have the luxury of a full-strength team to choose from.

the home side will be without defender Stephen Carr (hamstring) and midfielder Emre (calf strain) against United.

Striker Obafemi Martins is again missing with an ankle problem but Charles N'Zogbia is available after serving a one-match suspension.

latest around the Barclays Premier League, 22nd FEB

ROMAN ABRAMOVICH has spent £578million trying to make Chelsea the world’s biggest club.

And he is set to fork out another £810,000 in bonuses if his Blues lift the Carling Cup on Sunday.

The club’s yearly figures have revealed the Russian multi-billionaire, who bought Chelsea in June 2003, continues to pump vast amounts of his fortune into the business.

Chelsea’s aim is to continue reducing their net transfer spending which fell to £11.7m last year compared to £84.5m in 2006 and £126.7m in 2005.

That means there will be no big-money swoop for Barcelona superstar Ronaldinho, who was heavily linked with a switch to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea’s policy will be to sign younger players with a re-sale value.


FRANK LAMPARD has won his battle to start the Carling Cup final against Spurs.

Chelsea boss Avram Grant left him out of Tuesday’s Euro draw at Olympiakos. That fuelled speculation Lamps would be snubbed again in favour of Michael Ballack for Sunday’s Wembley clash.

But Grant has told him he will play — and Ballack is likely to start as well. Didier Drogba is set to be partnered up front by £15million signing Nicolas Anelka as Grant bids for the first leg of an unprecedented Quadruple.

Joe Cole reckons the rivalry between the Blues and Spurs means the fans are in for a scorching final, perhaps even a classic.

The Chelsea winger said: “I know the rivalry well. I grew up with it and a lot of fans have come up to me this week and said we HAVE to beat them.


SPURS keeper Paul Robinson looks certain to start Sunday’s Carling Cup final against Chelsea after his UEFA Cup wonder show last night.

Boss Juande Ramos axed Robbo for 10 games following a series of high-profile howlers.

But the England star, given the captain’s armband, hit back with a string of fine saves to deny Slavia Prague. He said: “I just had to answer to myself. I know myself and I know how I’ve been playing or not been playing as the case may be.

England boss Fabio Capello was watching in the stands and Spurs chief Ramos said: “Robinson did a great job and did everything he had to. It was difficult for him especially after such a long time without playing but his display was magnificent."

“We have three days to recover and take a closer look but there are lots of things to consider.”

Jamie O’Hara scored his first Spurs goal to seal his side a last-16 clash with PSV Eindhoven.


WES BROWN’S Manchester United future is on a knife-edge after Alex Ferguson hit out at his contract demands.

Brown, 28, wants £65,000 a week to sign a new deal but has been offered £10,000 less. He could leave on a free in the summer.

Boss Fergie said: “We’ve given him his offer. It’s in his hands, not in ours. Players today live in their agents’ pockets. It’s a situation which depresses me at times.

“Wes has been with us since he was 12 but I don’t think that matters these days. Their agents live their lives for them — and if you are happy to go along with that then you get the situation you have just now.” Brown, who currently earns £31,000 a week plus another £10,000 a week every time he plays, has enjoyed one of his best seasons, deputising at right-back for Gary Neville.

Fergie added: “It’s amazing given he has had such a good season and such a good run of games while Gary has been injured.

“We wouldn’t have made the offer if we hadn’t had faith in him.”


The Football Association has rejected the Premier League's initial plans to play matches abroad.

The "39th game" proposal was discussed at a board meeting on Thursday where the FA told the Premier League to rethink its current plans.

"We haven't got what I would call a sustainable plan in front of us," said FA chairman Lord Triesman.

Triesman said the Premier League had failed to answer the issues he had outlined in Parliament earlier this week and that the rest of the board agreed with him.

"Firstly there are serious problems of congestion in the season," he said.

"I make it very clear that we would want to make sure that all of our own competitions can be played successfully, and that there isn't the usual overstretch that you get at that time of year which can have an impact on the England side.

"Secondly, I think that we have to make sure that our international relationships are in good shape; there are very many reasons for that, and the 2018 World Cup is one of those reasons.

"Third, there is bound to be continuing concern about whether the 39th game would change the symmetry of the competition or would introduce unfairness as it is perceived in the competition.

Michael Owen gave the magpies a first-half lead, but left to bite the dusk after that with 3 minutes onslaught by the villians. Newcastle failed to recovered after that. thus leaving manager Kevin Keegan still searching for his first league win and fear of a relegation battle.

Man United v Man City
1-2 (0-2)
it was $23 for a A-A bet on sunday morning. on a day where Manchester mourns the death of Busby babes and those who perished. many thought that the Red Devils would rise to the occasion and getting those 3 points. but wat ive seen is totally not the stuff that you expect from the defending champions. City however seemingly behaving like a home team, closing down furiously whenever they lost possession. Micah Richards, Richard Dunne was outstanding in defence. Joe Hart was equally impressive.

unlike the way they have to defend like hell in the last encounter back in August. this City team seems comfortable after taking the lead. Stephen Ireland and Martin Petrov was enjoying themselves on the wings. attacking when opportunities arise. its wat a match ive been seeking... no fear for the champions when playing at Theater of Dreams. its jus another football game.

CHELSEA v LIVERPOOL
0-0
REDS captain Steven Gerrard has revealed its impossible now to think about any chance of catching up on the title race. instead focus on fourth place. as their supporter, i dun even wanna dream about it.

ARSENAL v BLACKBURN
2-0 (1-0)
the Gunners have stretch the lead to 5 points with same no. of games played.



coming up this weekend, FA CUP 5th round action. notably the tie at Old Trafford between Manchester United and Arsenal. the last time these 2 sides met at the same ground in 2003, the Gunners came up on top with a 2-0 win. Beckham had a boot kicked on his face thereafter. it would be a interesting tie with lots of controversy... guarantee. :)

and then the Champions League 2nd round the days after.
