Today at The Lane. Tough game certainly. However, as always, confident

We need a win. Good luck to Mauricio and the boys. COYS!

3 invaluables points today. Gutsy performance. Well done Mauricio and the boys. COYS

Nice to know Ossie is always confident of a Spurs victory. He still does work for the club and travels to do work with Ledley King in Asia and China, they were both recently in Singapore and Beijing.

It's great for the fans to see former players who are still held in high regard wanting Tottenham victories and are disappointed when they don't arrive. Graham Roberts is still involved with the club, Steve Archibald is another and while he is a Liverpool man Ray Clemence was at White Hart Lane on Sunday to see the game.

Jordan Archer is on loan at Northampton Town where he produced a wonderful save that you may have seen from the video I posted at 1.30 BST today. A Morecambe fan has tweeted what a great save it was and great bloke he is.

Some suggestions that is a Lens outfit he is wearing. Presumably he won't be playing any football util his contract finishes next summer when he'll be a free agent. Sad way for it all to end at Spurs.
