I'm not at the Grove and the match isn't on TV - I really hate that!

So I'm not able to get back for the game tonight and our friends at Teleclub have deemed it perfectly acceptable that they show Hull v Chelsea tonight (despite 14 sport channels) along with a variety of Bundesliga games so it's the dodgy internet feed or a trip into town to watch Sky Sports. Typically this week has seen the arrival of the wettest weather for ages so it won't be a pleasant trip!

However, watching the derby at the ground is so much easier than on TV, I get 20 times more nervous watching the game on Sky compared to being there. There's no real rational reason for that other than the 4 or 5 beers in the pub before the game that we usually have! Having said that and considering the recent events at Premier League games this season I wonder of the 8.00pm KO could lead to more trouble than normal (though the last two seasons' Carling Cup games passed off with no real problem). Spurs fans don't need much to feel the world is all about to change for the better and despite being bottom the arrival of Sir 'Arry of Redknapp seems to have inspired more rabid delusions of the Spurs revival. I think Arsene has it right with his comments in that the new manager can't do much before the January window (interesting to see the LMA asking for a transfer window for managers too) but he can lift the players (as he seemed to on Sunday) and it's up to our own players to perform well and get the Spurs' players feeling that low confidence again...
