Arsenal centre forward Olivier Giroud has come out and stated the importance of winning the Capital One Cup.
The French international is still adapting to the English culture, but believes it is important that his side are focussed for their next tie.
The North London club pulled out Bradford and a trip to the Valley Parade in the quarter final draw with the game set to be played out on December 10th.
He told London 24 sport after the match “I think it should be for us, an objective”.
Giroud recently told Sky sports that he believed the goal he scored for France again Spain in the recent 2014 World Cup Qualifiers will provide him a huge boost for when he plays domestically in the Premier League.
The former Montpellier man signed in a £10 million deal this summer and has had to deal with the burden of expectation, of trying to replace Robin Van Persie, who scored 37 goals in all competitions for Arsenal last season.

Every cup tournament has its heroes. That’s the brilliance of a competition where every game brings with it the possibility of elimination – take over a game in the Capital One Cup, and you’re remembered for the rest of the tournament.
The five men in this list have done just that – two with hat-tricks, and three with two-goal performances that decided a game in their team’s favour. There’s even an honourable mention for one man whose heroics should be remembered even though they weren’t enough to take his team through to the next round. Can you guess who we’re talking about…?
5. James McClean, Sunderland v Morecambe, Round 2
This season, midfield starlet James McClean hasn’t quite lived up to the hype surrounding him since he burst onto the scene in the first weeks of Martin O’Neill’s Sunderland tenure. Perhaps it’s the pressure, a blip in his form, or something else, but that aside, the youngster was back to his best against lower-league opposition with both goals in this comfortable victory, and added another in the win at MK Dons in the next round.
4. Luke Moore, Swansea City v Barnsley, Round 2
One of the forgotten men of English football popped up to propelSwanseapast stubborn Championship opponentsBarnsleyin this otherwise fairly close encounter.Moore’s first goal came on a perfectly-executed turn and strike in the closing minutes of the first half, before he struck again in the closing minutes to seal the win. His career may not have panned out as projected after bursting onto the scene as a youngster at Aston Villa, but clearlyMoorestill has goals in him.
3. Christian Benteke and Miles Storey, Aston Villa v Swindon Town, Round 4
This game was a story (no pun intended) of two very different tales – Benteke, the Belgium international brought in at considerable expense by Villa in the summer but struggling for goals and a regular place in the side, and Storey, who has progressed through the Swindon academy after being released byWest Bromand is only now embarking on the first steps of his professional football career. Benteke’s diving header (and a sweet strike from Gabriel Agbonlahor) had Villa 2-0 up as the game approached its final 15 minutes, but Storey, on as a substitute, sent the home fans into delirium with two goals in four minutes. TheBirminghamboy’s fairytale night was not to be however, as Benteke nodded home a Stephen Ireland free-kick to send Villa to the quarter-finals.
2. Theo Walcott, Arsenal v Reading, Round 4

You’re all probably very familiar by now with Walcott’s heroics in inspiring one of the greatest comebacks in Arsenal’s recent history. A timely strike just before half time saved his teammates the embarrassment of trailing by four at the break, before Walcott came up with the 96th-minute goal to force extra time. And with the score at 5-5 and penalties just minutes away, who should pop up with the decisive goal before Marouane Chamakh put the icing on the cake? You guessed it. Having already scored twice in the third round demolition of Coventry, Walcott is currently the tournament’s leading goalscorer this season, and has played a large part in Andrey Ashavin climbing to the top of the assist charts.
1. James Collins, Swindon Town v Stoke City, Round 3
One of the most famous wins in Paulo Di Canio’s managerial career coincided with one of the outstanding performances of striker James Collins’ football life, as the League 1 side’s striker put Thomas Sorensen to the sword with a sublime hat-trick in this upset win. A poacher’s goal and a header helped Swindon take an early game, but the game was deadlocked at 3-3 after 119 minutes when Collins capped off a memorable night by sliding in to poke home the winner.
Everton midfielder Darron Gibson believes that team-mate Nikica Jelavic will rediscover his prolific scoring form soon.
The Croatian immediately adapted to Premier League football following his arrival at Goodison Park last year, finding the net frequently for the Toffees.
However, this season has been less fruitful for the striker, who has struggled to maintain his excellent form.
Gibson feels that Jelavic will come good soon, and add to his tally of six so far this term:
“The vein of form he had when he first came was special and from a football point of view I think we knew he couldn’t keep it up constantly.” He told the Liverpool Echo.
“Every striker goes through a lean spell but it hasn’t taken him too long to score again.
“He’s definitely up there with the best goal scorers I’ve played with to be honest. His finishing is unbelievable.
“He makes some great runs and he makes the passes easier for me.”
The Irish international went on to compare him to some of the best forwards he has ever played alongside:

“He’s a bit like Michael Owen or Van Nistelrooy in the box,
“He’s first class and I don’t think there’s many better than him in the Premier League at the moment.”
There’s no place like home. Home, is where the heart is. Indeed, the prodigal son is now back where he belongs.
English football loves a good cliché and in the case of Joe Cole’s recent return back to West Ham United, you can take your pick from the aforementioned trio of cheese as to which one you’re now sick to death of hearing.
There’s always been something of a strange media obsession with the Joe Cole story, ever since he made his first team debut for the Hammers 13 years ago this month as a fresh faced 17-year-old in the FA Cup.
Indeed, while his profile is somewhat higher than your average 31-year-old making a move during the January transfer window, such has been the bleary-eyed nostalgia heaped upon Cole’s move to Sam Allardyce’s side, it feels as if the actual footballing merits of the transfer have been consigned to the sidelines.
Make no mistake about it, Big Sam’s not brought the former Chelsea midfielder back to West Ham to simply appease the old boys sat at Upton Park. While he may now be 31 and entering the final straight of his long and often polarizing career, Joe Cole has got the potential to make a real difference to West Ham’s season
And given Allardyce’s success in the past at squeezing the best out of the advancing years of some of his players, don’t be surprised for Cole’s transfer to be as sustained in its longetivity as much as its impact.
Of course, given the disappointing turn that Cole’s career has taken in recent years, it’s easy to see why some of the neutrals have found it a little bit more difficult to look past the fanfare. For all the subsequent debate that seems to so often rage over the overall impact the London-born star wielded during his seven seasons with Chelsea, his most recent showings in the Premier League leave little room for argument.
Upon joining Liverpool on a free transfer in 2010, the capture of the then 28-year-old Cole was widely touted as a great coup for Roy Hodgson’s men. After helping fire Chelsea to a Premier League title the season before, it was thought handing a £90,000-a-week four year deal to a player essentially entering his peak years as a footballer was good business.
Yet even if you take into account the niggling injuries and managerial upheaval during his sole full season up in Liverpool, for a player who possesses such an exquisite amount of talent, Cole served his new employers up a hugely disappointing season.
A season-long loan to Lille last season offered him temporary reprieve from his Anfield nightmare, but despite earning rave reviews during his first months with Les Dogues Cole’s performances towards the end of the Ligue One season faded badly. Like a hallmark for much of his career, the fitness levels continued to hamper and the stardust seemingly gradually evaporated as time went on.
But what we did learn at Lille is that if Cole’s backed by a manager and left to play his natural game in a team that are set-up to cooperate, he still has a lot to offer to any club. And in Sam Allardyce, the 31-year-old couldn’t have sought a better manager to try and salvage the last part of his career and prove the doubters wrong one last time.
From Youri Djorkaeff and Fernando Hierro to Jayjay Okocha and the late Gary Speed, Allardyce’s track record in not only salvaging the careers of older players, but ensuing they maintain a sustained level of performance, speaks for itself.
As much as the former Bolton Wanderers boss knows how to get the best of his men when on the pitch, it’s no fluke that Allardyce excels at getting them on the field of play in the first place, too. While some have been keen to ridicule his penchant for sports science and his love for all things ProZone, it’s this quantitative approach that helps Allardyce get the very maximum out of his players.

He may not have healing hands, but Allardyce’s philosophy will ensure that Cole will be managed sensibly, with real thought given to the amount of games he’s playing and how regularly he’s set to play them. One of Cole’s biggest issues throughout his career has been clocking up enough game time. He’s not going to be much use to anyone sat in the treatment room and Allardyce will be looking for quality, not quantity from Cole.
But if he can stay clear of injury, there’s no reason why Joe Cole can’t wield a real impact for West Ham – and not just for a token half-season run, either.
This isn’t someone who has played 38 league games a season, every season, for the past ten years. He may be 31, but despite his past fitness concerns, he’s got plenty of football left in him yet. He’s still got the ability to pick a great pass, retain possession and the little bit of stardust to change matches. Whether he’s still a matchwinner remains to be seen, but if he can rediscover even the form he hit upon his first few months at Lille, West Ham will posses an asset that few of the teams around them could match.
For all the past few weeks of fanfare, it feels like many have used Joe Cole’s move to West Ham as a precursor to his career’s obituary. Although he’s far from finished yet and if Big Sam can get the best out of him, then his second spell at West Ham could just prove to be one his most seminal chapters.
I get that David Beckham is one of the wealthiest players in the game. I get that he can retire somewhere quietly and just sit back for the rest of his days. But one of the biggest reasons to applaud the midfielder is his latest gesture that all of his wages (or at least a large percentage of it) will go to charity. Above all, this is just a guy who seems like he wants to remain in the game, but has now made an exceptional move for his status and image in football.
The other more hideous side of the game is David Sullivan’s revelation of the behaviour of player agents.
Now, wages has taken the game (and many other sports) onto a completely different level, and one that is certainly out of reach for most fans. But the modern game doesn’t get more damning than reports of agents wanting to put someone’s head through a wall for the sake of their own benefit.
At some point or another. No, scratch that. In the very near future, the prominent football governing bodies need to take a stand against the vultures and the “gang warfare,” as Harry Redknapp described it, in football. It’s well enough for FIFA and UEFA to talk about moving the game forward, taking big international tournaments to less developed parts of the world and attempting to stamp their authority on heavy spending. But the fees that agents go after all ties into Financial Fair Play, so why is that particular side of the game seemingly ignored by most with the power to stop it?
And here’s the other thing: when do footballers in general start to take some flak for the actions of agents? Most footballers are off in their own world, like Prince, asking for a camel at 3am in the middle of January. We get that, people have been taken away from reality due to the vast sums of money in the game. But are the majority of footballers that stupid that they don’t understand how damaging their agents are to the game?
Well, the defence will be that footballers are looking out for number one and will of course back their agents as a means of getting the highest possible pay packet. And in fairness, we can probably place as much blame for the wages in football today at the feet of agents as we do with broadcasters like Sky. But Lionel Messi, Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, Radamel Falcao, and players of that stature in football are always going to receive the highest wages wherever they go. Men in football like Pep Guardiola don’t need agents to negotiate the best deal for them; all the former Barcelona manager has to do is turn up at any club in the world and he’ll be given what he wants, on the basis of what he achieved in Spain. So, while agents are important, they’re not absolutely crucial.
But you hear of stories about agents getting a cut of any high-profile deal and wonder what exactly we’re watching. Yes it’s sports, but it’s creeping slowly into the realm of sports entertainment. Let’s have the next FA Cup final contested inside the confines of a huge steel cage—I’m sure that will help to peak interest.
But why is that we talk about people like Jorge Mendes? Why do we need to know the name of an agent and the list of his clients at major European clubs? Why have governing bodies allowed people like him to overshadow certain areas and athletes in the game? It’s wave after wave of questions that need to be put forward, and yet we may never know the answers or have the problems removed.
You can take Arsenal as an example and the influence Darren Dein has had at the club. David Dein would be welcomed back with open arms and the red carpet by most supporters, but his son is public enemy number one, largely for engineering the moves away of players like Thierry Henry, Cesc Fabregas and Alex Song, among others.
So you’d ask, why would the son of a man who had such an effect on Arsenal go about dismantling the good work laid down in previous years? Money, obviously. I’m quite certain that Darren Dein has absolutely no interest in whether Barcelona win the Champions League this season and hit Real Madrid for six on the way to doing so. Nor do I believe that he’s particularly concerned if Arsenal finish well outside the top four due in part to his own fine work. But he does care that names like Fabregas and van Persie will be the centrepiece of a transfer window and will offer the opportunity for a couple of million to line his pockets.
Again, you’ve got to wonder how much players actually believe in what they’re saying. They talk about trophies and the glory of certain competitions and even the stupidity over which position they’ll play. But it’s all just a mask for the desire for more money, which of course stems from the agent.

I don’t believe any club wants to spend £50 million in combined fees for a player, but that’s what football has come to. If UEFA are taking on this militant level of thinking for financial fair play, then they must look to the source. I understand that footballers and most other athletes only have a short career where they need to earn as much as possible, but does that excuse the need to pay someone £180,000 a week for being quite good at making a 30 yard pass? It will never be acceptable.
David Sullivan’s story is about as low as you can get in football, and that particular agent has some fine company at the bottom of the pit.
Pepe Reina has urged the Liverpool board to back Brendan Rodgers in the transfer window this summer, the Telegraph report.The 30-year-old Spanish goalkeeper has been encouraged by the Reds form this season that has taken them to seventh in the Premier League table and five points shy of a European qualification.And Reina has called on the board to provide manager Rodgers with the funds to improve the squad and build upon on successful foundations laid down this term.“This year has been important for us in terms of getting to know what the manager wants and develop the ideas,” he said.“Then we have to be ready for the very first game of next season to challenge.”Obviously we will need some help from the board but I think the basis is well settled. We know the ideas and philosophies of the manager.”It is getting better and better so hopefully we will be ready to compete.
Reina also reiterated the importance of holding onto top scorer Luis Suarez with Bayern Munich amongst a host of top European clubs hoping to prise the Uruguayan away from Anfield.
“Liverpool is very lucky to have Luis,” he added.
“Every day I am proud to say that I share a dressing room with such a big player. He is 100 per cent all the time. Obviously we will see what happens in the future. Everybody wants him to stay with the team.
“He can create the chances himself from nothing. He can be a killer in the box. But he can also provide assistance to the team and be involved all the time. He is not just a proper striker in the box. He looks to create but it is very important for any team to have that 25-plus goals-per-season striker.”

After watching Newcastle narrowly overcome Stoke at St James’ Park in the early days of March manager Alan Pardew remarked, somewhat presumptuously, that his side were ‘done’ in the battle to avoid the drop. Less than a month and three games later the Magpies are still deeply embroiled in a fight for their Premier League existence. Defeats at Wigan and Manchester City left them just three points above the drop zone with seven games left to save their skin. Thursday’s demoralising Europa League quarter-final defeat at the hands of Benfica was the last thing Pardew and his squad needed with individual errors costing them dear in Lisbon. Now it’s down to 51-year-old and his backroom staff to galvanise a mentally and physically fatigued squad to obtain a much needed victory at home to resurgent Fulham. Thankfully for the Newcastle boss they’ve been unbeatable at St James’ Park lately, winning four out of the last five, and with several key players returning from injury it points to another successful afternoon on Tyneside.
The Cottagers will head to the North East in buoyant mood after beating QPR on Monday to rubber stamp their Premier League ticket for next term. Martin Jol’s men are on a five-match unbeaten run and currently sit comfortably in 10th – a position Pardew will undoubtedly look up at with envy. With the mental pressure of relegation all but eradicated it will give Fulham a chance to express themselves against a Newcastle side suffering from another European hangover. One man who won’t pass up an opportunity to let his hair down is self-confessed Toon Army fan Dimitar Berbatov, who is seeking a seventh goal in as many games. And he’s not the type to let sentiment get in the way of personal accolades meaning the West London side and their resident Bulgarian will be tricky customers for their anxious hosts.
Team News
Yoann Gouffran returns for Newcastle after being cup-tied for the Europa League quarter-final clash with Benfica on Thursday. Full-back Mathieu Debuchy has an outside chance of playing as does midfielder Cheick Tiote with both recovering from hamstring injuries. Massadio Haidara and Fabricio Coloccini remain sidelined.
Steve Sidwell starts a three-match ban after his red card against QPR on Monday. Emmanuel Frimpong is likely to step in to fill the midfield breach left by Sidwell. Ashkan Dejagah is a doubt for Fulham.
What the managers said…
“We’ve done so much right tonight and got ourselves into a great position with Papiss’ goal. The away goal could come into it if we get the first goal at St James’ Park because if we can get that first goal, we are only going to need one more. In terms of the performance and the players, I can’t fault them. We came here to have a go at them and we did that. They caused some problems to us just before half-time for ten to 15 minutes, but other than that we were in control of the game. If it was 2-1, you would think we would have a good chance at home, but it is an uphill chance for us now. We can be proud of the performance, but disappointed with the result.” Alan Pardew insists Newcastle can still make it to the Europa League semi-final’s (ITV Sport)
“Everyone tells me that in England 39/40 points will do and I have worked here for five or six seasons and in one or two seasons 37/38 points was enough and we have got 39 points now and hopefully we will be fine, but in this league you never know. We have got 39 points now so hopefully we can look up now and get as high as possible.” We lost [Clint] Dempsey, [Mousa] Dembele, Danny Murphy and I thought it could be a difficult season for us but in the first week in April to be on 39 points I think is fantastic.” Martin Jol wants Fulham to continue their strong end to the season (Sky Sports)

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is hoping to bring Borussia Dortmund midfielder Ilkay Gundogan to Old Trafford this summer, according to the Express.
Gundogan has been an unsung hero for the German side this season as they reach to Champions League final at Wembley where they will face fellow Bundesliga club Bayern Munich.
The £17million rated central midfield man would be the second Dortmund ace to leave the club this summer after Mario Gotze confirmed his move to Bayern Munich last week.
United are keen to add quality to their central midfield role to partner the impressive Michael Carrick after the likes of Tom Cleverley, Paul Scholes and Phil Jones have failed to hit form leaving Wayne Rooney to be the deepest of the four midfielders on numerous occasions this term.
“It is not reprehensible to answer such questions (of a future career in England or Spain) with ‘yes’,” Gundogan told Sport Bild.

“Everyone has a childhood dream on what he would like to achieve one day and my dream always was to play in England or Spain.”
Travelling to Nottingham Forest games, walking along Trent Bridge, you can see people with earphones fixed into their ears; they could be listening to music – or they could be listening to Robin Chipperfield, Colin Fray and John McGovern on the radio airwaves.
They play a key role in the lives of a Forest fan, home and abroad.
Since Billy Davies returned in February, he’s been a noticeable absentee in the post-match interview sector on BBC Radio Nottingham. Many believe he holds grudges, but why, supporters can only speculate.
Under the stewardship of the previous board, Billy Davies often complained he wasn’t given enough funds to fulfil his job requirements at the club. He made it clear to the board and fans alike, via the platform of the radio and newspapers. Nothing twisted by those who questioned, but simply taking the passionate words he spoke, and discussing to great length.
Because Fawaz Al-Hasawi was in a position of vulnerability when re-appointing Billy Davies, it seems the fiery Scotsman has all the power he craved. With backing from the board, he’s now able to fulfil his job requirements. But rather than brush the past under the carpet, it’s apparent Billy seeks revenge.
Billy, once the man who complained about not being given the tools to complete his job, is now halting others around him from doing their job to an acceptable level. In an era where great levels of communication were promised, the club could be cutting off a vital weekly source for fans across the world.
With Fawaz openly admitting he’s attempting to agree a deal with Al Jazeera to broadcast all of Forest’s home games, it looks as if the club are targeting a new bulk of fans in the Middle East. Whilst this may be important in terms of profit, Forest can’t be allowed to lose sight of the most integral part of a football club – the real fans.
The ones that have ploughed money into the club for many years, and may still be attending. Or alternatively due to financial reasons, aren’t able to attend.
Following months of positive headlines surrounding the club, the decision to avoid the local media may come back to bite them. When the national headlines quieten down, and the Wayne Rooney saga comes to an end, there will be a point when those in high authority at the national newspapers are seeking stories. With this move, Forest could make themselves an easy target.
Billy Davies may thrive on the attention of his enemies, driving him to success. Fawaz Al-Hasawi however, in the dark January month that saw him wave goodbye to two managers, gave the impression that the headlines were tough for him to take. Fawaz is often quoted discussing the “pride and honour” he has being in charge of such a great club. That must take a dent you would imagine, if a cloud of negative headlines surrounded the club again.
It could be the case that Forest are slow getting around to signing a contract with Radio Nottingham. Whatever the situation, it needs to be resolved very soon.
Nottingham Forest need to ensure they don’t become the North Korea of football, or the lottery winner that’s forgotten their roots. Billy Davies needs to learn that the spontaneity in his answers are what connects him to the fans, not the scripted and predictable nature currently being served up.
Listening to the radio is often the first stage to becoming a weekly supporter. The connection through the airwaves soon becomes an addiction, and before they know it, they’re walking over Trent Bridge going to their first game. If that disappears, so could a new generation of fans.
