Almost forgot to mention for those that care, Tottenham play that other team from North London tomorrow, broadcast live on Fox Soccer Channel at 6:30 am CT. I will of course DVR it so I can rise at a more humane hour. This is really a winner-take-all affair as it will likely settle who finishes in fourth place and qualifies for next year’s Champions League.

What does manager Martin Jol have to say about the game? From Football365.com’s Mediawatch:

Quote Of The Day
“Hopefully we can go to Arsenal and keep a clean sheet. But it will be very difficult. Anything can happen at Highbury. Maybe hundreds of squirrels will come on to the pitch and we will have a problem. You cannot prepare for things like that. We will probably have to run from them” – Martin Jol, the man whose rise to the position of Mediawatch’s favourite manager took less time than it takes a squirrel to climb a tree and dodge Mediawatch’s swinging boot.

(for those not in the know, a squirrel on the pitch interrupted this week’s Champions League semifinal at Ars*nal against Villareal)

Inevitable Squirrel Joke Of The Day
Do you think he heard about Sol Campbell going nuts?

(for those not in the know, Sol Campbell wigged out earlier this season, left the stadium at half-time, and was reported as saying he was leaving football forever)
(for those still not in the know, Sol Campbell was brought up through the Tottenham system and was their captain for a number years; yet when the time came, he ran out his contract and went to Spurs’ most-hated rivals after claiming repeatedly he was going to stay, thereby guaranteeing Spurs got nothing for him. Like most Tottenham supporters, I have several stock phrases I use for Sol Campbell, and nearly all them start with the letter “f” and work in the word “traitor” one way or another. Fans hanged Campbell’s effigy outside their stadium along with a placard reading “Judas” when the news broke. )
