Roman Pavlyuchenko believes Harry Redknapp is mocking him at Tottenham Hotspur.

The Russian international is fourth choice striker at White Hart Lane this season, and he is still waiting for his first start in the Premier League.

Pavlyuchenko admits he wants to quit the club in the New Year, and he has now revealed he feels that Redknapp is mocking him by constantly naming him on the bench.

"You cannot even imagine how tired I am of sitting on the bench," he said. "Do you want to hear the most recent joke in London? It goes: Harry Redknapp put Pavlyuchenko in the starting line-up.

"For me it would be funny if it was not so painful. I have a feeling that our manager is mocking me. On the eve of the Carling Cup final (against Manchester United) he asked me to come to see him.

“He said: 'Tomorrow will be a chance to show your best in front of 75,000 spectators. We need to use it'. He used it by keeping me on the bench for the whole 90 minutes."
