I don't think Tottenham have been our rivals since the late 80s or early 90s but now with more investment and a greater drive to turn things around, Tottenham have finally reached that phase. I know the table can be deceiving in this light but Tottenham are playing a thoughtful approach to a quick return to being contenders - well not at the top but important players in the premiership who can break a teams run.

On the other end, while Tottenham are able to make these quick changes with the aid of a huge support - we take things slower and buy one player. He's a great player, brilliant in fact but I think this is a player that will keep us at 5th place not move us forward.

Arshavin, I don't believe is a player who changes a teams fortunes but is an insurance player who can guarantee you retain your position. We should face facts that he is not a big league player but a Russian league players - a big difference. Apparently we have him as a playmaker and one has to wonder how he will grasp the teams he will be up against as well as the players. Some of these he has seen before, others never but he hasn't played against some of the brute reality of the game.

That's for the current top four though. Against Tottenham, I think they will be destroyed fairly easily as long as Arshavin and the players around him can find some balance and stability - at any point in the game. This doesn't have to be a 90 minute game. We just don't want to walk into this game and never gain even a glimmer of confidence.
