It's only Monday, but already it's almost time for another match.

Ahead of kick off I said the most important thing today, the necessity, was to secure the point that would take us back to the top of the league. Spurs are a good side and to get a draw at their place has to be considered a good result and a win would be a bonus.

When Rafael was sent off with 17 minutes of normal time remaining, a point was looking better than ever, so credit to our lads for not doing what Spurs do when a decision goes against them.

1. Beating Liverpool is always brilliant. Knocking them out of the FA Cup is great. Destroying all the good feeling and positivity that came with Kenny Dalglish's appointment is even better. Although I'm frustrated we didn't totally destroy them today. We dominated the game entirely, as you would expect for a side with an extra man for an hour, but just weren't clinical enough in the box.
