Tottenham's Palacios loves thundering into opponents

Tottenham midfield powerhouse Wilson Palacios admits he loves thundering into opponents.

Palacios faces Arsenal today, two years after almost signing for Gunners when first arriving from Honduras.

"I don't half like doing that," Palacios said, as his eyes light up and an infectious smile emerges. "Sometimes, unintentionally, you give your opponent a 'toquecito', a little touch. You don't go out deliberately to do it.

"Coming up against Fàbregas is an honour. But my tactic is the same, get close to him - all of them."

Palacios also admitted yesterday he'd welcome new contract talks with the Spurs hierarchy.
