As if a flight across time-zones was not discombobulating enough, I found myself stepping off
the plane to be greeted by the news that Alan Hutton had scored for us, while Jermaine Jenas had
put in a decent performance and Robbie Keane had started -all of which left me wondering whether I
had flown into a new space-time continuum rather than simply across continents.
A good bourbon. Terminator 2 with surround sound. Scantily clad nubile young women
prancing around AANP Towers. Just a selection of some of the finer things in life, which get the
juices flowing here at AANP Towers, and to this exalted list can be added an evening kick-off at
home to l'Arse.
It looks like tonight it might be us who can use the excuse that it was only our kids that lost
if things don't go right.
Due to Arsenal's injuries and inferior squad, it looks as if they'll be naming a few more first
team players than they normally would in the Carling Cup. Meanwhile, our own injury list could see
us give an opportunity to some untried youngsters.
As a Spurs fan, Tuesday night's performance hurt....a lot! What got to me more, however, was the
players, once again, stating that Spurs have closed the gap on Arsenal and we are the better team.
Same thing I've heard over and over and over again. Yet, not a peep from the Arsenal players on the
matter at hand and it appeared there was no need to.
After two successive defeats we need to bounce back with a win to boost morale before our game
with Villa on Saturday and a victory would also give us a great start to our Champions League
campaign.
There has been a lot of debate as to whether we should persist with a 4-5-1 or go back to
4-4-2.
