La "Curling Cup"... infatti l'Arsenal non l'hai mai vinta...la lasciamo al
Chelsea...probabilmente l'unica loro vittoria dell'anno..;-)

 bersaglio?
Esatto. Se vieni a Torino nel 2006 lo vedi alle Olimpiadi per la "modifica"
cifra di 25 euro. Se riesci a non abbioccarti vinci un premio però...

Cmq mi dispiace che si sia trasformata nella coppa delle riserve, ieri
Arsenal e Manchester avrebbero potuto tranquillamente schierare i
titolari visto che c'era tutto il tempo di recuperare per sabato!!

It's over. Arsenal are out of the Carling Cup. It was an exhilarating
experience for the youths and they leave this competition with their heads
held high. They have done their fans proud and this run will be remembered
by many Gooners not only for how far their team had gone but also the manner
in which they reached this stage.
Wins away to Manchester City and at home to Everton were made all the
sweeter considering they were games of men against boys. David vs Goliath if
you like. Against Everton they showed great resolution to come back from a
goal down against a team which lie 1 point adrift of the first team in the
Premiership. Astonishing.
The away side started in bad fashion and went behind as early as the 20th
second. Johan Djourou slipped and like a flash David Bellion pounced to
capitalise. If truth be told things could have been worse going into the
break but after the interval Arsenal stepped up their game and took it to
Manchester United.
Arsenal were fielding such a young side that even the inclusion of 27 year
old Manuel Almunia couldn't prevent the average age of the side from being
19. This was the age of Manchester United's youngest player.
Manchester United did field a few "youngsters" but had a vastly experienced
starting XI which included 8 full internationals.
Old Trafford was sold out. Very surprising considering this was a Carling
Cup game but the bitter rivalry between the two clubs ensured this was going
to be a spectacle and everyone took their chance to be a part of it.
Manchester United's goal came so early that a lot of fans missed it on their
way into the stadium. Djourou miscontrolled the ball and it rolled to
Bellion. He made his way towards goal and as he was about to shoot Clichy
slipped in front of him. He took his time and hit a firm drive that somehow
managed to get away from Almunia.
That was a massive blow for Arsenal and they were soon under intense
pressure. They lost their composure and were looking very timid. As a result
they created little and had very little grip on the game.
Justin Hoyte fouled Kleberson right oin the edge of the box and for a second
all away team fans had their hearts' in their mouths as they waited for the
referee's decision. Freekick and not a penalty. The freekick came to nothing
in the end.
Gaël Clichy tracked backl well and used his pace to help out defensively on
numerous occasion, most notably being when Chris Eagles was sent clear by
Bellion. He put Eagles under pressure and the winger dragged his shot wide
as a result.
Close to the half hour mark Robin van Persie nearly put the Gunners back in
the game. Wes Brown's back pass was poorly dealt with by Howard and van
Persie was in there like a flash. Unfortunately the ball went out for a goal
kick.
Almunia was made to dive to his right soon after to palm away a thunderous
drive from just outside the box by Richardson.
Arturo Lupoli was fouled on the edge of the box after Quincy had embarked on
a mazy run. The resulting freekick was taken by Jermaine Pennant. He curled
the ball around the wall and the shot was destined for the far post but
Howard was equal to it.
The game burst into life in the second half. With less than a minute gone
there was an altracation between Robin van Persie and Richardson. After an
overzealous challenge by van Persie, Richardson lashed out and swung his
fists about. The game was stopped and the two players were booked.
The away team were getting back into the game and had a lot of possession.
They passed the ball around well and were getting at Manchester United. But
for all their possession they created little of note.
Pennant's freekick was blocked and numerous other attempts at set pieces
were uninspired. There was no presence in the box so ultimately the ball was
being hacked clear every time it was put in there.
Chris Eagles darted to the left byline but hacked wide when in a great
position to cross from.
The game petered out for a narrow 1-0 loss but the home side were given a
scare when Pennant took a short freekick to van Persie who promptly left
Fortune in his wake before firing just wide of Howard's left hand post.
It was a great run by the youths and everyone at the club is proud of them.
They deserve credit for getting as far as they did and a good few of them
can hope for some action in the first team sometime soon judging from their
displays in this competition.
