Bentley: Tottenham can finish above Arsenal

Tottenham midfielder David Bentley fancies overtaking North London rivals Arsenal this season.

"It's hopefully looking that way," smiled Bentley, but even he is not brash enough to say it for certain. "Only time will tell. Arsenal have a good team now but so have we. Let's see who comes out on top."

On facing his old club in the North London derby, Bentley continued: "I can't wait.

"I've not been sleeping at the moment thinking about running out there. I've always wanted to play in a north London derby, it will brilliant.

"Hopefully they want to see characters. They don't always go just to watch the football, they'll come to abuse me. I'll get the banter but I'll enjoy that. You don't to have a boring life as a footballer.

"If you don't get a buzz off that's probably where you fail.

"There is nothing quite like running out for your country but it's probably going to be the best moment in my career, one of them anyway."
