Spurs face Chelsea on Monday in an FA Cup quarter-final replay before England's crucial double-header against Israel and Andorra as they look to get European Championship qualification back on track.

Robinson has promised not to remind England rival Ben Foster about his strike when the pair meet up for international duty, although the Watford goalkeeper is bracing himself for the banter.

Spurs' goalscoring hero believes his exploits will be forgotten by that time, given the magnitude of the Chelsea clash at White Hart Lane.

"The aftermath of that will be discussed next week, so the goal will be long in the memory," said Robinson, whose goal was the second of his career after steering in a header for Leeds in 2003.

His goal helped Spurs extend their unbeaten run to eight games in their recent hectic schedule. The Chelsea clash will be their sixth match in 16 days.

"We're optimistic, especially at the Lane," added Robinson. "We rested a few of our so-called key players against Watford and hopefully that will benefit us on Monday."

Victory over Chelsea will add to the workload, with a UEFA Cup quarter-final meaning Spurs' fixtures will be just as congested when players return from the international break.

"After Monday there is a very tough scenario for us," said boss Martin Jol. "I know the schedule and it's even more difficult than we had over the last couple of weeks."

Jol, however, views the added games as a sign of progress at the club in his second full season at White Hart Lane.

"We are close to convincing people we have a talented squad," said the Dutchman. "Hopefully people will give us a bit of credit now, we are in the top six and I don't think there are teams outside the four who challenge in all the cups.

"Middlesbrough last year were 11th or 12th and could focus on the final of the UEFA Cup, we can't do that. We have to be in a good situation or we might miss out on European football."

The bid to qualify for Europe through their Barclays Premiership finish appears to be on track, with victory over Watford coming after goals from Jermaine Jenas, Robinson and Hossam Ghaly, with Darius Henderson grabbing a consolation.

Robinson's position as England's first-choice goalkeeper has been threatened by the emergence of Foster but, while the Spurs stopper wheeled away in delight after scoring, he did not over-do his celebrations.

"It's the respect I have for any goalkeeper, the goalkeepers' union," said the 27-year-old. "If I went running around the pitch it would have been like I planned to do it - but it was just a freak goal."

Robinson famously blundered against Croatia earlier this season when Gary Neville's backpass hit a divot, one of the factors behind the calls for Foster to be given a chance.

"There are a lot of people who have opinions on the situation but I'm just looking forward to playing for my country next week," said Robinson.

"Of course I have sympathy for Ben, any goalkeeper in that situation is unfortunate, no-one knows more than me.

"Criticism can be very hard depending on what level it is, as a goalkeeper it's how you react and you have to be mentally strong."

Foster, on-loan from Manchester United, showed great maturity in emerging from the dressing room and showing a willingness to talk about the goal.

The 23-year-old will return to Old Trafford next season and will give boss Sir Alex Ferguson a selection dilemma.

Edwin van der Sar has played a huge role in United's title challenge, while Foster has established himself as one of the top performers in the Premiership.

"I saw Sir Alex Ferguson a few weeks ago and he told me his plans and he wants me up there next season," said Foster. "I've just bought a house up there, so I'm looking to settle down, kick on next season and push Van der Sar all the way.

"I'm not the sort of person who is happy to train week-in, week-out and sit on the bench. I think the whole point of being a footballer is going out and playing first-team football. I'm going to do as well as I can and see what happens."

Meanwhile, Jol will meet Chelsea counterpart Jose Mourinho on Monday, eight days after their lengthy discussion before the 3-3 draw at Stamford Bridge.

Jol said: "He's special. Not when he says it himself because I hate that, but I can say that."
