Hot on the heels of the draw with Blackburn, Sunday sees Manchester City come to town for the last installment of this season. With just a point needed to secure European qualification and three likely to be enough to get Spurs up to a last season-matching 5th place, its a fantastic feeling to know that for the second season running we're in contention for something going into the last game of the season.
Thursday's game against Blackburn didn't go entirely to plan - principally because Rovers came out of the traps faster than we did - however the longer the second half went, the more Spurs looked like the only winners - as indeed they would have been but for Keane's shot hitting the post.
Man City are a poor football team currently. With the exuberance that came when Stuart Pearce was appointed, you would have thought that they would have built on a glut of good youngsters, the coffers swelling with the millions received from the sale of Shaun Wright-Phillips and a passionate and inspiring manager.
Its not really gone that way though. Disciplinary issues once again deprive City of the talismanic Barton, their forward line is responsible for the lowest EVER goal return in home matches in the top flight, and should investors come in during the summer to take the club over, the presence of Pearce at the helm come the first game of next season is far from a certainty.
City will likely play a 4-5-1 formation with Mpenza playing a loan role up front supported from the flanks by Vassell and Sinclair. In midfield veteran big nose Didi Hammann will almost certainly get the nod in the absence of Barton, with youngster Ireland and the allegedly disfigured Dabo completing the central areas. At the back they will have supposed Spurs target Sylvain Distin, alongside Richard Dunne. With Isaakson now seemingly the first choice keeper and full backs Ball and Onuha completing the lineup, they don't on paper pose a huge threat, especially with their lack of firepower.
Spurs are going to be without Steed Malbranque - the frenchman limped off during the game on Thursday - and his obvious replacement Hossam Ghaly may not feature given the petulance he showed for becoming a "subbed sub" in the same game. The midfield lineup will be decided by the fitness of Jermaine Jenas, should he be fit then expect Tainio to move to the left of midfield with Lennon on the right and Didier Zokora completing the central pairing. Antony Gardner did nothing to indicate he will lose his place at left back so the back four will likely remain the same with King, Dawson and Chimbonda. Which attacking pairing Martin Jol selects remains to be seen - Jermain Defoe has chipped in with some valuable goals recently and with Robbie Keane and Dimitar Berbatov the current joint players of the month, whoever of the three features is going to cause problems for the Man City backline.
A word about Paul Robinson also - if he completes the game he will have played every minute of our league campaign, and after a shakey start to the season he has in recent weeks begun to look back to his best - not more so than with his wonder save against Middlesborough.
Just 90 minutes left then - and with a win guaranteeing European football next season, motivation is not likely to be lacking. One final push to make our 125th anniversary season a European one - surely we should expect nothing less?
