Stoke ousts Arsenal from FA Cup; City advances
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 25 - 01 - 2010

Arsenal was ousted from the FA Cup by Stoke Sunday with a 3-1 loss to give Sol Campbell an unhappy return to the team after almost four years.
Just 70 seconds into Campbell's second Arsenal debut, Rory Delap's first trademark long throw-in flew over the 35-year-old defender and Ricardo Fuller headed powerfully past Lukasz Fabianski.
The visitors leveled just before the break through Denilson's deflected strike, but Fuller headed in from Delap again in the 78th and Dean Whitehead sealed Stoke's fourth-round win.
Manchester City was drawn to play Stoke after Roberto Mancini's side beat Scunthorpe in Sunday's other match, with Robinho rounding off a 4-2 victory before departing on a likely loan move to Brazilian side Santos.
With Liverpool and Manchester United already eliminated in the third round, Chelsea is the only member of the Premier League traditional “Big Four” remaining in the world's oldest knockout competition.
Robinho, who joined Premier League City for 32 million pounds ($51.59 million) in 2008, has struggled to make an impact at Eastlands and has been in and out of the side this season.
In an interview with Brazilian radio station Bandeirantes, Robinho said City's owners had told him that he was no longer part of the club's plans.
“It would be exceptional to return to Santos,” said Robinho who joined City from Real Madrid. “To play at Santos would help me on the way to the World Cup. It is my home, I know everybody.”
Robinho, who scored the fourth goal against Scunthorpe and was mobbed by City's visiting fans, had indicated that he could be playing his last game for the club.
Another standout fixture drawn Sunday at Wembley Stadium sees 2008 winner Portsmouth make the short trip to south-coast neighbor Southampton.
In the other matches involving top flight teams, holder Chelsea will host Cardiff, League Cup finalist Aston Villa will go to either Wolverhampton or Crystal Palace, Bolton will host either Tottenham or Leeds and Fulham will play either fourth-tier Notts County or Wigan.
