Reading's Spurs supporting striker Dave Kitson has been arrested for failing to provide a breath sample after being stopped by police. A bleary eyed Kitson was pulled over after Arsenal's late comeback in the Carling Cup Semi-Final 1st leg proved to much for him. The player is rumoured to have told police: "When are we ever going to beat the bastards? We can't seem to beat them when the year starts with a 2. It's enough to drive a Spurs fan to drink or is that enough drink for a Spurs fan to drive?" Kitson was said to be watching the match in the pub because he couldn't upgrade his black and white TV to a new HD Ready one as his Tottenham League Championship videos won't play on modern television equipment.

The player recently caused controversy when he asked his team mates to throw the 3rd Round FA Cup game at Tottenham Hotspur because he'd already bought his tickets to see Spurs vs Manchester United in the 4th Round.
