Gunners are blazing: Gallas gets betwen Adebayor and Bendtner
Tottenham 5 Arsenal 1 (Agg: 6-2)
Tottenham marched into the Carling Cup final with a 5-1 win over Arsenal as Arsene Wenger's warring players had to be separated from each other on a night of drama at White Hart Lane.
Emmanuel Adebayor and Nicklas Bendtner had to be pulled apart by Arsenal skipper William Gallas as frustrations boiled over during their first defeat against Spurs in eight years.
Bendtner had blood on his shirt and a lump and a gash on the bridge of his nose following the altercation and Adebayor was restrained from going down the tunnel at the end of the game.
Adebayor and Bendtner's clash has undermined Arsenal's team spirit, but Wenger claimed he knew nothing about the extraordinary incident.
The flashpoint came just seven minutes from the end of this gripping night and Adebayor appeared to headbutt Bendtner before Gallas and referee Howard Webb intervened.
Wenger claimed: "I don't know anything about it. Really I don't know."
Arsenal were ripped apart by their north London rivals, but Wenger refused to give Spurs credit following their emphatic victory.
The Arsenal chief said: "It is a disappointment of course. I feel that everythinig went against us. We had to take many risks and we were open to counterattacks.
"We were not mature enough to stop it. The score is brutal and high, but it does not reflect what happened on the pitch. "With the first shot they scored, the second was an own goal and then they scored again straight after half time. The rest of the game had no meaning.
Malbranque compounded Arsenal's misery as Juande Ramos secured a place in the Carling Cup final on 24 February in his first season in charge.

I think this is a first for referee Howard Webb... Cos normally when a player headbutt or intended headbutt on another, he would get send off but its usually an opposing team player. In this case, someone did headbutt another player but from his own team... weird i know...
The question is, should the referee have sent him off as well? Afterall, he did commit the crime while on the pitch...
A new one i guess...
I doubt the Fifa rule book got this in it yet...

Arsenal strikers Emmanuel Adebayor and Nicklas Bendtner could be investigated after they clashed in the 5-1 Carling Cup loss to Tottenham.
Tempers flared between Adebayor and Bendtner
SNARLING CUP SPECIAL Bendtner is black & blue as Arsenal turn on each other after Tottenham walloping Spurs 5 Arsenal 1 Carling Cup semi-final 2nd leg: Tottenham win 6-2 on aggregate
Arsenal crashed out of the Carling Cup in shame last night after Emmanuel Adebayor appeared to strike team-mate Nicklas Bendtner during a fiery confrontation. Arsene Wenger's young Guns were thrashed by a rampant Tottenham - their first victory over their north London rivals in 21 attempts stretching back to 1999.
But there were extraordinary scenes in the second half when first William Gallas and then referee Howard Webb had to separate Adebayor and Bendtner in the Spurs box after 83 minutes. Arsenal captain Gallas said: "I don't know exactly what happened. I think everyone was disappointed about the game. It was very difficult to accept. They were nervous. "They know they made a mistake and maybe they will have to speak to the boss and explain why they did that. They are young and have to understand, but we lost our calm."
But predictably Wenger said he had not seen the incident, which ended with the Danish striker nursing a bloody nose. "I don't know anything about it," insisted the Gunners manager. "I don't know what you are talking about."
The incident was also seen by Matthieu Flamini, who shouted pleas to his team-mates to calm down from the substitutes bench. But Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger insisted: "I did not know anything about it. I didn't see it." -

Just because he is young and new at the club can bully him meh... I bet he wouldn't dare to do that to Gilberto Silva.
