89 mins GOAL Tottenham 3-2 Swansea - Gylfi Sigurdsson
Gylfi Sigurdsson rifles away a volley as he is left unattended at the back post and Jefferson Montero twists, turns and supplies a telling deep cross. Is there time? Probably not. Let's see.

59 mins GOAL Tottenham 3-1 Swansea - Andros Townsend
Well played referee Michael Oliver! The official allows play to continue after Nabil Bentaleb was floored by a heavy challenge and Andros Townsend takes full advantage haring forward, cutting inside the last man and curling home. Top reffing.
50 mins GOAL Tottenham 2-1 Swansea - Ryan Mason
Ryan Mason has to be restrained by stewards as he heads towards the Tottenham faithful to celebrate, punching the air and hollering his head off.
That is his first Premier League goal and it was a decent strike to open your top-flight account, hammering home a rising shot after Christian Eriksen's twisting run drew in the Swansea defence.
UPDATE: We can confirm that Gomis is in a stable condition following the earlier incident at White Hart Lane tonight.

Gylfi Sigurdsson rattles the crossbar with a swerving free-kick against his former club, but he goes from head in hands to punching the air in celebration as Ki Sung-yeung pokes in as the ball comes back into the middle.
11 mins Swansea sub: Oliveira for Gomis.
11 mins Bafetimbi Gomis is carried off the pitch, oxygen mask in place and conscious.

Laces for power, side-foot for precision.

Lovely strike and an early lead.

It's never easy to predict our results but this one is even more unpredictable than usual. I'll take any kind of win, hopefully they can channel the spirit of Makay!

 

[Mr Pink]

I know we're big outsiders for top four and whilst I don't expect us to make it, and I'm well pleased with the direction we're heading under Poch regardless, it would be nice to stay in the race for as long as we can to at least make the run in interesting from a competitive point of view. If we keep hanging in there you never know sort of thing.

Lets be honest if we fail to win tomorrow night that little flicker probably gets blown out.

Will be an emotional night given the sad news of Dave MacKay passing away, lets hope we can put on a show in honor of him and bounce back from what has been a disappointing couple of weeks which was make or break for our season.

Failing to win tomorrow night would be the icing on a pretty shit cake in truth albeit I'm convinced exciting times lie ahead long term under Pochettino and this current group.

 

[0-Tibsy-0]

Win our next two games and make the end of the season interesting.

I didn't expect top 4 at the beginning of the season and I still don't now. But seeing we are just about still in the mix, lets give it our best shot.

Be tough to pick ourselves from a disappointing week, but 3 points tomorrow would be much appreciated.

 

[yojambo]

Just realised even if we win we'll still be 7th. Never really expected us to get top 4 this season but if we are going to challenge then this game really is a "must win". I think there has been a really positive mood despite the loss to Chelsea so hopefully the lane will be buzzing.

Totally agree.

Only the League left, we might as well give it everything and see where we finish. Football is a fickle business, the mood would change rapidly if we won our next three games - including going to OT. Unlikely maybe, but not beyond us IMO.

 

[Spurger King]

No reason not to be confident. The West Ham and Fiorentina games were, in my opinion, highly compromised by the League Cup final being on the horizon. The final itself was lost because the best performing team in the league played better than us.

Obviously they were four very disappointing results, but I think they all impacted on each other, and we can draw a line under it. For the first time this season we'll be fully focused on the league, and have no excuses not to go all out in every game from now on.

 

[mpickard2087]

I think the pressure is on somewhat. It's no good showing some promising signs if we allow the last three months of the season to fizzle out and finish a long way off in the standings. They need to keep scrapping till the end, and I want to see more consistent performances now.

Three points needed to get the show back on the road.

 

[Makkaveli101]

You just know Siggy will score against us.

 

[THFCSPURS19]

Not feeling good about this one at all.

 

[tippspur59]

Surely be minutes silence for Dave Mackay before the game?

 

[Ian Kane]

Surely be minutes silence for Dave Mackay before the game?

Minutes applause I think I saw somewhere with the team wearing black armbands.

 

[teok]

Very tough game and the lads will be emotionally and physically knackered.

 

[Good Doctor M]

Very tough game and the lads will be emotionally and physically knackered.

Hopefully, more pissed off than knackered.

 

[edgey]

A difficult game tonight but come out with the right attitude and we can win this, which will hopefully lift the spirits of the lads again and go for a big final push to see where we end up.

 

[VegasII]

Think we're going to rock tonight.

 

[SteveH]

We are all feeling a little flat ATM and I would be surprised if we did not. It might take a few games to get back into the grove and we have got very little wiggle room.
But the big thing is the overall improvement in the atmosphere surrounding the club.

COYS

 

[spursbri111]

i just wanna go on a good run and either finish top 4 or crash and burn and finish 7th or 8th. I have always defended being in europa but its a killer on league form. look at man utd this season. the ve generally been poor but dug results out from having more energy than other teams by not playing midweek. win tonight and its still on. play kane. bentaleb, mason for the next 11 cup finals

 

[stevenurse]

After the recent cup final loss I think it's important for the fans to play a big role tonight. Despite the loss I didn't get the usual "useless bastards" feeling I get after a defeat. I felt proud of the team, and they will need picking up, not to mention making it a great atmosphere in memory of Mackay.

Swansea aren't mugs but we have more than enough to win this.
