As ever and ever, the Derby between Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea did not disappoint, although a quick look at which could bring 1-1 against the impression that the game was pretty boring. Emmanuel Adebayor scored in the ninth minute Spurs which give early lead, but Daniel Sturridge had secured the equalizer from 25. The next 65++ minutes can been goalless, but they were certainly not boring.

The hosts began the ball for the first ten minutes shiny, as Chelsea touch you. While we all know that possession no longer the beacon many commentators believe to be the frail Blues defence could wave after wave of the Spurs to resist pressure. After about the fourth or fifth time, Gareth Bale tearing down the flank was getting in the way, he headed to the ball to Adebayor without John Terry hatch. The Spurs forward beat easily Petr Cech to it on the back of the net.

Adebayor of objective revive some again visiting attack when Chelsea finally began to put their own pressure some. It was Sturridge, who get the goal for the Blues, at the end of a beautiful Ashley Cole cross, the ball on the back of the net bag packed.

But then things started to disintegrate for Chelsea. Branislav Ivanovic locked was his thigh and although the Serbian at least in part been responsible for the Adebayor goal, a look at the Bank showed that him to replace only right-back Paulo Ferreira available,. André villas Boas had no other choice, and José Bosingwa moved to central defence. As if that weren’t enough, John Obi Mikel, had come from before the whistle blew for the end of June, maintaining his own injuries, even though at least there was a replacement in Oriol Romeu.

By half time, spurs were however carried out ideas. Harry Rednapp moved Rafael van der Vaart for the second half, replaced him, for some unknown reason with Roman Pavlyuchenko. For the first ten minutes of the second, it seemed as both teams still tried to catch their breath. But then chaos broke out again.

Both teams managed to the ball at least once again put on the back of the net: Juan Mata a goal far away, had been determined, the same for Chelsea during a second Adebayor, or perhaps excluded for foul on Bosingwa during the peak until. But even if the ball in the one or the other network not was landing it was ping to the pitch as in a crazy game of Pinball. PING! Inches wide of Brad Friedel objective. PING! John Terry fantastic blocks to refuse Gareth Bale. PING! Chelsea midfielder sends the ball in the 10th row. You get the picture.

The Division of the spoils brings spurs for the third place on seven points behind Manchester United, while nine behind Manchester City, and even a game in hand. Chelsea stay fourth there is very little but positive to take from today’s performance.

Nadal remains unbeaten on clay in Davis Cup singles Rafael Nadal beat Argentina’s Juan Martin del Potro in a thrilling match to secure the Davis Cup for Spain.

World number two Nadal lost six games in a row in the first set but came back superbly to win a high-class encounter 1-6 6-4 6-1 7-6 (7-0) in Seville.

The victory was his 16th successive win in Davis Cup singles on clay and gave the hosts an unassailable 3-1 lead.

However Nadal said his busy schedule, which includes the Olympics, meant he would not play Davis Cup in 2012.

His success secured Spain’s fifth Davis Cup title and their third in four years, while Argentina have yet to win it.

“Today is one of the most emotional days of my career,” said Nadal, 25, after winning the title for the third time.

“After such a difficult year, this was a spectacular finale to the season. To win a final this way is very special.

“We are very grateful to all the people of Spain. It was the best atmosphere I have experienced in my career.

“Next year I will not play. Next year is a very complex year. It’s an Olympic year. I have been, for many years, one of the players that plays the highest number of games in a year, and I don’t want to over play.

“So next year, since it’s an Olympic year, my participation in the Davis Cup is impossible.”

A strangely out-of-sorts Nadal broke Del Potro in the first game but his opponent battled his way back into the match and dominated the Spaniard’s serve to take the opening set to the delight of the Argentine fans in the 28,000 Olympic Stadium.

However, Nadal’s indomitable spirit helped him halt Del Potro’s run and he took the second set with a typically aggressive display that was greeted by a huge roar from the home supporters.

The 10-time Grand Slam winner took the third set in commanding style and the result looked to be a formality with Del Potro, who lost a near five-hour epic to David Ferrer on the opening day, seemingly tiring.

But, as the tension grew with each point, the 11th-ranked Argentine dug deep and produced a series of magnificent winners to keep the tie alive, taking 10 points in a row and then breaking the Spaniard in the eighth game to give himself the chance to serve for the set.

However, amid increasing noise from the crowd, Nadal went on the attack and broke Del Potro’s serve to level the set again.

Nadal broke his opponent again but Del Potro was not beaten yet and broke back immediately, firing a blistering forehand winner to take the set into a tie-break, in which the left-hander was unstoppable.

“On home clay they are probably one of the best teams in history,” Argentina captain Tito Vazquez said after Spain stretched their record home winning streak to 21 series.

Del Potro left the court in tears for the second time in three days, having also let slip a lead in his five-set loss in his opening singles match.

“Both my colleagues and I must be happy that we have done a good job, not only in this tie but the whole Davis Cup,” said 23-year-old Del Potro.

“We could fight Spain on home turf and we could feel that we could beat them.

“But beyond the defeat, I am particularly happy because of what the team gave me and what my colleagues gave me and their support so that I could play better.”

Yamaha’s Edwards also came off his bike but escaped serious injuries, while Rossi was able to nurse his Ducati back to the pits.

Simoncelli lay stricken on the track before being taken to the circuit’s medical centre where he was pronounced dead.

Simoncelli’s death is the first in the premier class since another Honda rider, Daijiro Kato, was killed at the 2003 Japanese Grand Prix.

Shoya Tomizawa also died in a similar crash to Simoncelli in Moto2 last year.

Simoncelli, known for his shaggy afro haircut and fun-loving personality, began in the 125cc class in 2002 before moving up to the 250cc class in 2006. He won the 250cc world title in 2008.

The prevalent national news that key LSU football players Tyrann Mathieu, Spencer Ware and Tharold Simon were hanging for Saturday’s Auburn game went unconfirmed by LSU coach Les Miles Wednesday night.

“I certainly understand the interest surrounding what seems to be news,” began Miles at his regularly scheduled press conference. “The problem with that news is it’s internal discipline and internal function of a team. I’m not inclined to be forthcoming in information. I am not reactionary to needs of media and things external to this building. When there’s information that I can share, I will.”

Asked to confirm if Mathieu, Ware and Simon were suspended, Miles said, “No, cannot confirm that.”,

The Daily Reveille, the LSU student newspaper, reported that Mathieu and Ware will be suspended because of a failed drug test, and the Times-Picayune of New Orleans is reporting that the players tested positive for “synthetic marijuana.”

“I certainly understand the interest surrounding what seems to be news,” Miles began at his regularly scheduled Wednesday night press conference. “The problem with that news is it’s internal discipline and internal function of a team. I’m not inclined to be forthcoming in information. I am not reactionary to needs of media and things external to this building. When there’s information that I can share, I will.”

Mathieu, a sophomore from New Orleans nicknamed the Honey Badger because of his uncanny playmaking ability, is the Tigers’ top weapon on defense from the cornerback position and is also a kick returner. He has been considered by several national media members to be a legitimate early Heisman Trophy candidate.

Miles said all his players practiced Wednesday, and the depth chart “hasn’t changed.”

Asked if any players who may be suspended for the Auburn game would also be suspended for the Tigers’ next game at Alabama on Nov. 5, Miles said, “Again, I’m not making that determination. It’s a process that I go through.”

Miles grew testy at questions about the three players possibly being suspended for failed drug tests, which are administered by the school’s compliance department.

“I think you’re way left of center,” Miles said. “I’m saying that wherever you got those (failed drug test) reports, I didn’t confirm them. I’m not going to confirm them, and it’s not information that I’m going to respond to.”

Reports of the three suspensions, which were also reported through sources by the Associated Press and ESPN, is the second time in two months that negative news has hit the LSU program. In late August, starting quarterback Jordan Jefferson and reserve linebacker Joshua Johns were arrested on felony battery charges and indefinitely suspended from the team. Each was later reinstated after a grand jury reduced the charge against Jefferson to a misdemeanor and dropped the charge against Johns.

Miles was asked if news of these latest suspensions was another black eye for LSU.

“Well, I don’t know,” he said. “I think to me it’s doing things correctly. It’s towing the line. It’s making sure the guys that represent us all operate in a same, very fundamental fashion. I think it’s a right thing. I think there are probably places that this doesn’t take place, and I think this process is a very good one.”

All NCAA schools have drug policies. LSU’s policy allows one failed drug test without punishment. But suspensions happen after a second one, and there is a chance of expulsion after a third one.

“I can only tell you that I’m doing this for the best of our football team and our squad and to maintain a deportment and a procedure that I’m true to and a process that I’m very comfortable with,” Miles said.
