Earlier this week I posed the question as to whether we thought that Tom Huddlestone would make the England World Cup squad. A resounding 73% of Spurs fans unbiased voters, think that the big man will be on the plane to South Africa. I wonder if Fabio agrees?

What's more important of course, is that Huddlestone returns to fitness and gets back in the Spurs team.

Like a craggily-bearded convict using the walls of his cell to chalk off the days until freedom, it is with growing excitement that I desecrate the walls of AANP Towers with scribbles signifying another game played, and another win recorded. Nine games to go, and our heroes are fulfilling their side of the bargain.

At last a football performance to measure the fragrance of potential that has been sprayed in the North London air for many years. Finally on a big European stage it could be smelled in from afar cities as Barcelona, Milan and Manchester.

Arsenal's 5 star unleaded performance against Porto was arguably the best all season, in particular Nicklas Bendtner.

For 26 years of my Spurs supporting life I was a fit and mobile, but sometimes inebriated Tottenham fan. Everything changed for me in September 2004 when I stupidly broke my neck on a night out in Plymouth.

This incident would prove to be serious and of life changing magnitude. The vertebrae at the base of my neck had dislocated causing a spinal cord injury that has left me paralysed from the shoulders down.

It has been confirmed that either Spurs or Fulham will face Portsmouth on April 11th in the FA Cup semi-final.

Should Tottenham get there, it means that the North London derby, which is currently scheduled for April 10th, will have to be rescheduled.

Our fixture list around this time already looked tough, with Arsenal on the 10th, Chelsea on the 17th and Manchester United on the 25th, but if we make the semi final we could be looking at that game on the 11th, Arsenal on the 14th and Chelsea on the 17th.

As Rob mentioned earlier, the England vs Egypt friendly is more important than your average friendly. It's the first game since the John Terry fiasco for example, and we'll all be watching to see how he performs sans elasticated armband. There's the left back situation too. Ashley Cole is currently injured and Wayne Bridge has removed himself from the equation, so Everton's Leighton Baines and Aston Villa's Stephen Warnock both have a shot to booking themselves a World Cup ticket.

A quick trip up to Watford for this North London dwelling Geordie, and my first visit to Watford's Vicarage Road.

If the rumours are true we could very well see Robin van Persie back for the last six premier league matches of our season, not to mention the Champions League quarter final, semi final and final, if we get there of course!!

The last six games are:-
Wolves H
Spuds -A
Wigan – A
Citeh – H
Blackburn A
Fulham – H

The Spuds game could be postponed if they get through to the FA Cup semi-final!

When Gareth Bale and Theo Walcott left the comparative backwaters of Southampton for the fierce rivalry of North London, the hype surrounding the two youngsters was immense, and with good reason.

At just 14, Nike had agreed a sponsorship deal with Walcott, and at the tender age of 16 years and 143 days he came on as a sub for the Saints against Wolves in a Championship match.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but: Why take Lucas off??

We could see the goal coming. Rosicky tore down the right sight while our defense struggled to get back into position. His cross was going nowhere but to Diaby's head which had no one marking it. Diaby knocked the ball past Pepe and the Gunners were up.

West Ham forward Carlton Cole has revealed that he rejected a number of advances from admiring clubs in the January transfer window.

How far can Harry Redknapp take his Tottenham Hotspur team? A thumping 3-0 victory over Manchester City on earlier in the season cemented their status as perennial fourth place chasers. But who will drop out of the top four to make way for Spurs? And does Mr. Redknapp have the financial clout to usurp one of the traditional big four?

Jan Molby believes a Liverpool win over Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium this week would put the Reds into the driving seat for third place, and at the same time hand a severe blow to the Gunners' own ambitions.
The Danish midfielder, who won a clutch of trophies with Liverpool in the 1980's, said Rafa Benitez's men head to North London on Wednesday confident of extending their unbeaten Premier League run to eight games, and can record their first away victory over the Gunners since a Titi Camara-inspired success in 2000.

Bordeaux striker Marouane Chamakh has revealed that he wants to join Arsenal when his contract expires this summer - effectively ending Liverpool's interest in him.
The Reds were one of the frontrunners for the Morocco international's signature but a move to North London with the Gunners appears to be too strong to resist for the 26-year-old, who admitted that he favoured a switch to the capital with Gunners' manager Arsene Wenger believed to be a keen admirer of his abilities.

There are a few things one could get to with wordplay.

Manchester United tore apart Arsenal at the Emirates to maintain the pressure on Premier League leaders Chelsea. Two goals in the space of three minutes just before the break blew away the Gunners and a killer third early in the second half ended the game as a contest.

The Old Trafford outfit were purring and a clever goal from Nani, that may well go down as a Manuel Almunia own goal, gave Sir Alex's side the lead and then just two minutes later Wayne Rooney scored a cracker after some good approach work from the England international and Nani.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is facing pressure from all directions. Ever since bouncing back into the Premier League title race, his young Gunners are being questioned about their credentials to finally last the course of the entire season, particularly given the tough string of fixtures ahead. While his side responded with a fighting display at Villa Park, the resulting goalless draw was enough for Villa boss Martin O'Neill to suggest that Wenger's judgmental comments off the field are getting the better of the Frenchman.

When I started watching football this was the biggest game. In my mind it still is. With due respect to the North London Derby, which is always a game immersed in history, this one is more of a history-in-the-making kind of duel. There's always something going down when these two giants of English Football meet.

If you are anyone on the Hull City roster, you are familiar with a Wayne Rooney that would score all four goals by himself in a blowout United win at Old Trafford. On the other hand, if you are anyone who represents the Sky Blue half of Manchester, you saw a different Wayne Rooney; this version of Wazza showed his clinical finishing ability under some of the most nerve-wrecking circumstances.

As expected Tottenham have pipped West Ham to the loan signing of Monaco striker Eidur Gudjohnsen, leaving the door open for out-of-favour Spurs striker Robbie Keane to leave White Hart Lane. The Mail reports the Hammers had been expected to complete a deal for the Icelandic international after the player completed a medical on Tuesday, but Harry Redknapp swooped in with a late offer and used the lure of a Champions League challenge to snatch Gudjohnson, a former Chelsea player, from under the nose of their city rivals.
