You'll like this. The difference between success and failure in football can be minute you need every edge you can get. And when you think about it, so much of football is in the mind. We talk about teams playing with confidence: that's a mental state. We talk about players looking nervous, or not knowing what they're supposed to be doing, or playing tentatively, or showing complacency.

It's that time of year again when I allow myself to go all misty-eyed about the FA Cup while the less sentimental (and perhaps younger) among us tut-tut and denounce the old jug as a busted flush.

The Champions League is bigger, bolder, more watched, more important and above all more lucrative than the FA Cup, this we all know.

A run of three home fixtures is a welcome site as Spurs look to push on in the second half of this season and secure a top four place at the very least. Following West Brom this evening, Tottenham entertain Wolves and Everton in the league and while nine points is perfectly possible, Harry Redknapp is warning against any complacency.

Arsenal 1-1 Wolves

Twenty-seven attempts on goal, eleven attempts on target, thirteen corners, one goal. Frustrating, to say the least. The goals have dried up again at home (three in three league games – conceding two in the process), giving Wenger a fresh headache to mull over as we head into the New Year.

Paul Davis: No time for complacency in fight against racism

Ryan Giggs rightly is held in the highest regard by all true fans of the game, yet the question remains whether he is past his sell by date. Certainly if one were to look at the facts and see he has already scored two goals this season than the argument may seem ludicrous. However, his performances this season have been marked with a sense of sluggishness and downright complacency.

For all the panic and soul-searching, then, England have qualified for next year's European Championships in Poland and Ukraine, although their performance last night was again patchy and hinted at a team that is likely to struggle against the very best in Europe next summer. Moreover, England's night which should, or might, otherwise have been an evening for celebration of some sort was further soiled by the decision of Wayne Rooney to take a kick at Miodrag Dzudovic with just over fifteen minutes of the match left to play and get himself a red card and a suspension for the start of next summer's tournament.

Shell shocked Gunners

Just when we asked for a little more consistency and building on recent improvements to go on a little positive run of matches, this happened. Abysmal, is the only word I can find to fully explain this defeat at Ewood Park. From having a 2-1 lead going into half time and seemingly in full control of the game, we wilted in the second half.

It was dark when I got up this morning. That's rubbish. Dark is for sleeping in, definitely not for getting up in. Unless it's the middle of the night and you have to go to the bathroom.

On arising, one should be bathed in soft, warm light and that light and warmth should remain with one throughout the day until you decide it's time to sleep again.
