'Bring on Arsenal', cries confident Jenas
In-form Tottenham star Jermaine Jenas has issued a derby-day rallying cry of 'Bring on Arsenal'.

Jenas curls home the levelling free-kick
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 yesterday's starting line-up, they are also doing their bit to nurture home-grown talent too.
And Jenas, a £9million 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.'
好野, Jenas |
