Parker: Spurs must learn from slumps

Scott Parker hopes experience will prevent Tottenham from repeating the end-of-season collapse that has blighted their last two Barclays Premier League campaigns.

Seven wins in the last 10 matches has left Spurs well positioned to qualify for the Champions League, but their capacity to implode gives way to only cautious optimism at White Hart Lane.

"It's in everyone's mind because it's happened before. We need to maintain our performances," said Parker. "We have some tough fixtures coming up but we've got some players coming back from injury. Hopefully we can freshen it up that way. I'm sure we'll be fine."
