Going wildly off-topic he has been stopped twice.
Once because he was shown as being disqualified (which he is, the disqualification suspended barring an appeal, not about him speeding, he did do that but one of the people involved once coughed at the wrong time or some other random event having sod-all to do with the facts)
The second time he was stopped due to an on-going operation targetting specific cars.

Hardly harrassment.

In my experience a large number of them think they are better than normal and do drive in an exceptionally arrogant manner.

Anyway back on topic. C'mon Arsenal.

The thing is, the police in the car that pulled him over would not have known it was Defoe. In order to do so it would require them to have been furnished with the information before hand.

Now Police with a grudge maybe, but the organisation itself planning to harass him while they are being sued for harassment. Very unlikely.

If they show anything like the performance they had against Everton they'll quite comfortably win tonight and I can't see Celtic getting a win in London.
Hopefully tonight the fans remember the pitch is for players and not for them to wander onto.

[Arthurgray50@blu]

Hi DerekS, Oh yes they do, and l should know.

[SB_07]

Come on you Gunners! Just under an hour until kick-off!

*sigh* OK I'll just forget all my training and experience.

[SB_07]

Vermaelen looks top class. He was impressive at the weekend and he's impressive again so far tonight.

Oh yeahhhhhhh

Not a bad result for Arsenal

[Derek]

Celtic might get 3 in London. They do have an impressive away record in Europe.

[Arthurgray50@blu]

Too me Celtic were poor, they gave away the ball far to easily, Celtic used to be a powerful side, and l respect them for quality football, When they play at The Emerates they to get these goals quickly, I think they need a kick up the backside, as they can play much better than what they did, and they need another manager Mowbray is not the manager they deserve - and no l am NOT and Arsenal fan.

Celtic have got to tighten up at the back and bring in some new players before the window shuts.
