There are time when players and fans alike feel a pain. The pain of being outplayed, outclassed and eventually outgunned. The pain of watching our beloved team taken to the cleaners by a 22 year old. The pain of knowing that a certain manager, Harry Redknapp, is making strategies to stifle us.
The North London Derby is a pain that couldn't have come at a wrong time for us.
A week for introspection of our players and the manager follows the Nou Camp howler. The soul-searching has begun.
Yet, a part of me is as excited as ever. Talk about the negative vibes that surrounds the club. But, come a local derby, everything is put to fire. Spurs, the name that evokes hatred among our fans. The memories of destroying them are etched in each and every mind. Bring them on!
The injuries to our players is the only part that worries me. Now, is the time that all our remaining players stay fit and take advantage of any slip-ups by the teams above us. That means, pragmatically, we have to win every game till the end of the season. There is no better place to banish all the thoughts of Barcelona, than the Lane.
Spurs haven't exactly got the result that would make us jump. Sunderland absolutely thrashed them at Stadium of Light and made everyone eat their words about Spurs finally being strong mentally. Also, they have got a small matter of travelling to Wembley on Sunday to face Portsmouth in the FA Cup semi's.
We will be fresh for this tie. So, the central defence pairing of Sol(he will have a hot reception) and Vermaelen should be employed. The main threat for Spurs comes from Defoe and the inform Pavlyuchenko. Also, Luka Modric is one player we have to watch out for. C'mon Sol, score a goal and shut their fans for good!
