ARSENAL'S FINAL N.LONDON DERBY ENDS IN FIERY STALEMATE.
According to Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, this was the day fair play died in English football. The game was played with such pace and there was no telling which way it would go. Tottenham mounted pressure and diffrent waves of attack came and went by. Tottenham teenage sensation seemed a threat down the right wing, causing Flamini and attimes Senderos loads of trouble. But the best chance of the half fell to Michael Carrick after a mazy run into the Arsenal box and turning Jens Lehmann placed his shot into the side netting.
The game came alive in the second half, and then in the 66th minute it happened. As Emmanuel Eboue and Gilberto bumped into each other, Wenger was convinced that the ball should have been put out of play to allow treatment for the 'injured' parties. Carrick stopped at the sight of two injured players rolling around next to him, but then he decided to carry on, urged to do so by the referee who checked on the health of both Arsenal players. Rolling the ball to Edgar Davids who supplied Robbie Keane with a pass to open the scoring, it was the cue for all hell to break loose. Wenger, for once, lost his temper in spectacular fashion, squaring up to Jol and screaming abuse at him. However, by the time the game was sent into a whirlwind of controversy, Thierry Henry had arrived into the fray and you could just see the Tottenham defence quivering at his mere presence, Spurs defence simply ran out of steam in the final 15 minutes and all they could do was whack balls up to a hapless Jermain Defoe, the Arsenal attacks came on them in waves. Henry's 86th minute leveller was cruel on a Spurs side who had worked so hard, but Jol could feel content after an impressive performance. Thus it ended 1-1 to the North London rivals.

PLAYOFF RUN-INS
The race for the eighth and final playoff spot in the East is set to go down to the wire with Philadelphia and Chicago locked in an intense battle. Speaking of intense battles, the Mavericks and Spurs continue their Texas-sized showdown for first place in the Southwest. The two are the only teams to have won at least 50 games in each of the past six seasons ... In the East, LeBron James scored 35 or more points in nine consecutive games. Since 1970, the only other players in NBA history to post streaks of 35 or more points in at least nine straight games are
Michael Jordan (10 in 1986) and Kobe Bryant (13 in 2003). In those nine games, LeBron James averaged 38.6 points, 7.1 rebounds and 7.6 assists ... The Washington Wizards have the league's highest scoring trio. Gilbert Arenas (29.1 ppg), Antawn Jamison (20.6 ppg) and Caron Butler (17.3 ppg) are averaging a combined 66.8 points. Philadelphia's Allen Iverson (32.9 ppg), Chris Webber (20.3 ppg) and Andre Iguodala (12.2 ppg) rank second at 65.4 points. ... Jamal Crawford (26.3 ppg last week) became the first Knick this season to be tabbed Player of the Week, after knocking down two game winning jumpers en route to leading New York to a 3-1 mark. And you-know-who continues his own scoring rampage in the West. With 2,673 points, Kobe Bryant is 46 points shy of tying Elgin Baylor's franchise record of 2,719 points, which he established during the 1962-63 season. Bryant became the first player since Michael Jordan (2,541) in 1992-93 to amass 2,500 points in a single season.
My man Kobe doing it big time...He deserves the MVP award man or what u think?

GREED + FOOLISHNESS= STUPIDITY.
When a German woman found a wallet containing 1,000 euros ($1,220) she decided it was better to get a reward from the owner than to keep the money -- even if that meant resorting to extortion, police said Friday.
"It was a bit stupid. She could just have kept the wallet," said a spokeswoman for police in the southwestern city of Darmstadt. "But she wanted the finder's reward -- and might have got one anyway. But she opted to extort it instead."
Police said the 47-year-old found the owner's phone number in the wallet and told the pensioner she could only have it back for 100 euros "plus 20 euros travel costs."
The owner agreed to the terms, and tipped off police, who arrested the woman with the wallet at the handover point.

"The Judas Gospel"...I See!
Judas Iscariot, vilified as Christ's betrayer, acted at Jesus' request in turning him over to the authorities who crucified him, according to a 1,700-year-old copy of the "Gospel of Judas" unveiled recently. In an alternative view to traditional Christian teaching, the Judas gospel shows the reviled disciple as the only one in Jesus' inner circle who understood his desire to shed his earthly body.
"He's the good guy in this portrayal," said Bart Ehrman, a religion professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. "He's the only apostle who understands Jesus. "The Judas gospel's introduction says it is "the secret account of the revelation that Jesus spoke in conversation with Judas Iscariot." Later, it quotes Jesus as saying to Judas, "You will exceed all of them (the other disciples) for you will sacrifice the man who clothes me.""The idea in this gospel is that Jesus, like all of us, is a trapped spirit, who is trapped in a material body," Ehrman said. "And salvation comes when we escape the materiality of our existence, and Judas is the one who makes it possible for him to escape by allowing for his body to be killed." Rev. Donald Senior, president of Catholic Theological Union in Chicago, said the document revealed the diversity and vitality in early Christianity.
"The question becomes ... does this tradition, this alternative story, if you like, in the gospel of Judas have a claim that in some sense is equal to the rival claim of the gospel tradition?" Senior said. It is not known who wrote the Judas gospel. The copy unveiled on Thursday is of a document mentioned critically in the year 180 in a treatise called "Against Heresies," written by Irenaeus, bishop of Lyon in what was then Roman Gaul. It spoke out against those whose views about Jesus differed from those of the mainstream Christian Church. In the Bible's New Testament, Judas is portrayed as the quintessential traitor, accepting 30 pieces of silver to betray Jesus by identifying him to Roman soldiers. The biblical Gospel of St. Matthew says Judas quickly regretted his treachery, returned the silver and hanged himself. The New Testament contains four Gospels -- of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John -- but many more so-called apocryphal gospels were written in the first centuries after Christ's death, attributed to such disciples as Thomas and Philip and to his female follower Mary Magdalene.
YEAH...RIGHT,IS THAT SO???

Juventus 0-0 Arsenal (agg.0-2)...Arsenal thru!
Arsenal eased through to a Champions League semi-final against Villarreal with a comfortable 0-0 draw in Turin. The Gunners, taking a 2-0 lead from the first leg to the Stadio Delle Alpi, were never in danger of losing against a poor Juventus side. Arsene Wenger's side could have made their passage more comfortable after they split the Juventus defence on numerous occasions. With a two-goal lead in the bag, there would have been nothing from Juve's first-half performance to have worried Wenger. He may have spent much of half-time considering his side could have stretched themselves even further away. Certainly the Gunners' attacking endeavours were the more flowing of the two while the home side were continually frustrated either by a wayward pass in an advanced position or the presence of an offside flag. The Italian press had talked about The Old Lady needing a miracle to battle through to the semi-finals and there was little evidence of one arriving.
With Alessandro del Piero sidelined through injury, it was difficult to see from where the creative spark Juventus so desperately required would arrive. Every time they looked like puncturing the Arsenal defence, one of the Gunners, invariably Kolo Toure or Philippe Senderos, was present to make sure the danger did not materialise.Only Buffon's swift reactions when he raced from his line prevented the home side from going behind when, in racing through, Thierry Henry uncharacteristically allowed the ball to slightly overrun. There were inevitably a couple of scares at the other end. David Trezeguet was unfortunate not to connect to Nedved's cross on the six-yard box and Zlatan Ibrahimovic thought he had beaten Jens Lehmann when his shot from the edge of the box took a big deflection but the German goalkeeper was fully behind it. He was also able to beat away a Nedved shot that seemed destined for the corner. But, eventually the Czech maestro's frustration got the better of him as he was sent off with 13 minutes left for a second booking after a foul on Emmanuel Eboue. At the end,it was the gunnerz goin thru to the semi-final for the first time in their history, on the back of a champions league shattering record of 8 consecutive cleansheets...Gonner4Lyfe Man!

Imagine That...!
Football referees in Nigeria can take bribes from clubs but should not allow them to influence their decisions on the pitch, a football official said on Friday. Fanny Amun, acting Secretary-General of the Nigerian Football Association, said bribery was common in the Nigerian game. "We know match officials are offered money or anything to influence matches and they can accept it," Amun told Reuters on Friday. Amun first made the statement earlier in the week to a football seminar in the capital Abuja, prompting protests from other officials. "Referees should only pretend to fall for the bait, but make sure the result doesn't favour those offering the bribe," Amun said.At the seminar, Nigerian football league chairman Oyuiki Obaseki reprimanded referees for poor quality match reports, saying that bribery was to blame. "The quality of your reports have not done our league any good, so please desist from corrupt practices," he told delegates. Despite a high-profile campaign to stamp out graft in the impoverished African country, Nigeria consistently ranks among the most corrupt countries in the world -- and football is no exception.
