Somehow Abou Diaby has escaped without a booking for a disgusting challenge on little Luka Modric that could easily have done the Tottehan Hotspur midfielder some serious damage. Yes, he got the ball, but no, getting the ball and then maiming the player in possession is not legal in any sense of the term. At the very least, Diaby should have been shown a yellow card.
Tottenham Hotspur Vs. Arsenal: 2-1 At Half-Hour Mark
Anyway we've gone about fifteen minutes without a goal, at that's mainly the fault of Theo Walcott, who is absolutely destroying Benoit Assou-Ekotto out on the Arsenal right. This time he gets away from his man and buzzes the edge of Heurelhio Gomes's far post with a low drive from the edge of the area. Seconds earlier, Roman Pavlyuchenko somehow contrived to miss a Peter Crouch knockdown entirely - he had the chance to head the ball in from four yards out and didn't even bother jumping, which was a little bit odd. Anyway, it probably won't be long before another goal comes along.
