    "It's very evenly balanced, it's a case of one goal might settle it. Hull put a lot, physically and mentally, into the first half, but can they keep it up? Spurs were not at their best and I feel they might get better as the game goes on."

    I'm mentioning Brady a lot here, but justifiably so. The left wing-back whips in a cross that flicks off Nikica Jelavic and then deflects off Danny Rose and around the post. It's another corner, but nothing comes from it.

    Robbie Brady puts in another corner for Hull City. Hugo Lloris comes a long way and just about gloves it clear from above a crowd of players.

    Robert Brady with the corner kick, which Paul McShane meets with a firm thud of the head, but it sails over.

    Dame N'Doye gets a wriggle on into the area but hits traffic. Dangerous moment though - and the Tigers have a corner.

    If Hull ever needed an incentive, here it is. A win today, as things stand, would put you out of the drop zone on goal difference. Do it like you mean it boys.

    Martin Whitehead: Have to blame my late father for being Spurs fan. But days like this are a struggle. Where's the passion?

    Jay: Hull have hit the woodwork thrice in their last two matches. Had those gone in, they'd be sitting in 14th place right now!

  8. Friedel's farewellpublished at 15:59 British Summer Time 16 May 2015

    Keeper Brad Friedel is speaking to the supporters at half-time. The 43-year-old is retiring to do some punditry in his native USA.

    "You've got a great keeper in Hugo Lloris," he tells the White Hart Lane faithful, before receiving a standing ovation.

    Time for some number crunching then. The only goal from the 3pm kick-offs is at QPR, where Newcastle are 1-0 up.

    That means the Magpies are safe if Hull fail to win here.

    Sunderland are two points above the Tigers, as they are drawing 0-0 with Leicester, who will creep three points clear of the drop if they maintain that score.

    Aston Villa are in a spot of bother though. Their 6-1 hammering at Southampton earlier means they can be caught by Hull on the final day.

    "I think Hull and Steve Bruce will be the happier, because Spurs are at home. Hull are desperate for the points, they have committed themselves, stuck to a structure and been unfortunate once or twice. 0-0 is probably about right."

    Hmmm. I enjoyed that, in the same way I enjoy eating toffee or walks on the beach. It needs a bit of va va voom though.

    "Hull are defending well and offensively we have seen enough to suggest they can score today, because Elmohamady has got in behind Rose down the right."

    If you didn't know better, you'd think neither of these sides has anything to play for. They do, don't they? I've not lived in a parallel universe this weekend where Hull are safe and Spurs are in the Champions League?

  14. Postpublished at 15:42 British Summer Time 16 May 2015

    It's all gone a bit quiet to be honest. Spurs are poking away at the Hull back line, but the three centre-backs of the Tigers spread themselves well.

    Ryan Mason has got a booking though, for bringing down Dame N'Doye on the halfway line.

    Nick Harris: Wow Spurs are average. Bar Kane and Lloris they're mid-table at best

    thescholarwall: Jelavic- a great finisher? Don't think so John - @HullCity down where they are because he isn't

    To give a bit of a defence to Nikica Jelavic, he has had his injury problems this season.

  16. Postpublished at 15:38 British Summer Time 16 May 2015

    This might be Spurs' best chance. Ryan Mason does well to wriggle to the by-line and cuts it back. But Erik Lamela is having to stretch and can only poke it past the post.

    "Jelavic has looked very sharp, and as long as Hull keep creating chances for him, eventually he will score one for you because he's a great finisher."

    Eric Dier whips in a ball from the right. It eludes everyone though, which gives Paul McShane a chance to get what looks like a jaw injury checked.

    Without wanting to curse you Hull fans, you look very comfortable at the moment. Spurs can move the ball around, but it lacks thrust and the Tigers are coping. In fact, they've had the better chances.

    Fraser McIntosh: That is one BIG goal for Newcastle. Bad news for Hull. Steve Bruce will be crying a Riviere.

    Very good Fraser.
