Soccer: Juande Ramos has pledged to stay at White Hart Lane to turn Tottenham around after witnessing his side slump to their third home defeat of the season against Hull.

The London club must now go back to 1912, the year the Titanic sank, to find a worse Tottenham start to a season.

But Ramos, who could cost Tottenham €20million in compensation if he was sacked by chairman Daniel Levy, insisted: "This is my job. I am the same whether we win or lose.

"Any decision on my future is not up to me but I am determined to put it right. It is my job, my work.

"The main problem for us is scoring goals. You have to score to win games and we are finding that difficult.

"But if we continue to play similar to how we did against Hull we can change the situation."

Spurs' last home league win came against Portsmouth in March and they have triumphed in just three league games since claiming the Carling Cup last season.

Ramos, however, said: "The effort was there and the players did their job very well.

"Their attitude was positive and when I speak to them they say they want to finish this situation quickly."

Ramos will discover today the extent of his striker problems when Roman Pavlyuchenko undergoes a scan on the ankle which saw him limp off in the first half to be replaced by Darren Bent.

For Hull, however, they are coming to terms with life at the heady heights near the summit of the Barclays Premier League after their second win in the capital in eight days, following their victory against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

It left Brown admitting: "We're ahead of schedule and in dreamland at the moment but we know we will have lows as well.

"I still see Tottenham as a top-six team but they have got to start winning soon.

"My hardest job after last week was to keep their feet firmly on the ground and make sure that they weren't over-confident."

"We defended manfully again and kept the work-rate high. I love 1-0 wins. As a defensive coach it is fantastic to see.

"You can see there is a spirit, there is a camaraderie that doesn't want to get beaten."
