Is it me or does this statement from Robinson smack of arrogance?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/league_cup/7074443.stmEngland goalkeeper Paul Robinson admits everyone at White Hart Lane is under pressure as new coach Juande Ramos assesses his squad.
Robinson has suffered a dip in form and there have been claims Ramos is seeking a replacement for the 28-year-old.
He said: "It is like your first day at a new club. Everyone is on trial again - it is a new start for everybody.
"We will see what happens and if he makes any signings. I am confident I am number one and it will stay that way."
Robinson also revealed Ramos has been working on improving Spurs defensively in a bid to move them away from the wrong end of the Premier League.
He said: "We have been working defensively the last few days and trying to shore up at the back.
"The clean sheet against Blackpool reflects that but we have a lot more work to do.
"I think everyone saw a Tottenham team starting to get a bit of confidence and play with a bit of freedom, that is the way the manager wants us to play."
Robinson said Ramos has been communicating with the players in English, despite using Spanish in his media conferences.
"Juande has communicated very well, a lot better than people think he can," said Robinson. "He has an aura and confidence about him and hopefully that will breed through the team."
