Jenas looking forward to Arsenal clash
In-form Tottenham star Jermaine Jenas has issued a derby-day rallying cry of 'Bring on Arsenal'.
Spurs go into next Saturday's White Hart Lane showdown in the unusual position of being able to peer down on Arsene Wenger's men in the Premiership following their 1-1 draw at Manchester United.
Jenas' brilliant free-kick earned Tottenham a share of the spoils and though Charlton's win at Portsmouth pushed Martin Jol's impressive outfit into third spot, they remain three points clear of Arsenal heading into one of the most eagerly awaited fixtures of the season.
It is six years - and 12 games - since Spurs' long-suffering fans tasted victory over their old rivals.
But Jenas believes his team-mates have every reason to be confident ahead of the latest capital clash."Bring on Arsenal, that's what I say," said Jenas."They are a great team and we have a lot of respect for them. But we are very confident at the minute and, on home soil, why shouldn't we fancy our chances of getting a win."
Jenas accepts Tottenham still have a long way to go before they reach Jol's lofty ambitions for the club, but they are definitely moving in the right direction.With seven English players in Saturday's starting line-up, they are also doing their bit to nurture home-grown talent too.
And Jenas, a £9m capture from Newcastle in August, thinks Spurs have every reason to be optimistic about the future.
"We are still learning and it is important to try to maintain what we have started," said the 22-year-old England international."But the job Martin is doing is great for Tottenham and English football."We have so many young players in the team, with so much character and attitude, it can only be good news."

jermaine genius
I think Defoe played really well yesterday. For the first time in a long time he played for he team.
As for the other Jermaine, well he was excellent yesterday, quality. Hopefully he can continue
up the spurs kicck some gunner ass
I think we should all calm down a bit.
Traditionally arsenal have one up on us, but this season is looking good.For the first time in years I think we might not get battered by every team in the entire universe , cos we are that bad .
hopefully ugly fat jol can stand behind fattie robinson in goal and use his teeth to keep any shots out.
That way the mighty arsenal might only score 15 or 16 against our 3 all own goals.
We gotta start to play 2 halfs of football and not one if we have any chance in beating Arsanal dont forget we havernt beat them in six years so we have a huge task a head of us.
that guy who stands behind me in the south stand when we beet fulham, you know who you are, callin jenas a 7million pound mupet, go eat your shirt
I agree defoe had good game. He played hard and got involved. Davids and dawson were a close second to kings motm display. JJ played with a lot more confidence. Its a shame jol needs to play davids on left because he can control the game in cm and give carrick more freedom. But jol is trying to accomadate jj because davids can at least play very well on the left where as jj needs to play in his favourable cm position to build confidence. So you can understand why jol does it.
To anon 12.40 the 2nd one...
As the admin all i can say is...fuck off gooner
ARSEHOLE and the dumb ass fuckhead henry are going to get thumped next saturday. No doubt about it. And traditionaly ARSEHOLE dont have one up on spurs if you can look earlier than the late nineties. But you have probably not supported ARSEHOLE that long.
It's ARSEnal, not ARSEHOLE, ;-)
12.40 anonymous!

get out our blog u french trator shit shoveling, wenger sucker pike dicked mug! we will see your boys saturday, same time same place! MUGS! UP THE SPURS
I agree that Defoe is playing better, ie; more selflessly. That I reckon is why other players are getting more and better scoring opportunities. His play is becoming less direct and therefor less predictable and harder for teams to defend against. His off the ball movement is creating gaps for mido and midfielders to exploit. Jenas is showing all those Spurs and newky fans who doubted him that the staff at the lane know more about football & players than we do. Next week he'll have the chance to show whether at this early stage he's capable of filling in for the mighty Davids. He'll have his work cut out. King & the England under 21 captain looked exactly what they are: sheer class.
manure's goal was a once in a blue moon gift from The England No1. Our goal was pure quality from a player growing in stature by the game. I know which team was happiest. Onwards and upwards.
Go on the Spurs!
P.s.
