Spurs host Czech league leaders Slavia Praha (Prague) tomorrow night in our sixth and last Champions League game of the year. We have two more of these league phase games to play in late January. Last year, 16 points were needed to finish in the top eight (qualifying automatically for the Round of 16). Realistically to reach such heights, we need to win all three of our remaining games, which is a big task and probably too much of a challenge.

Two wins in those last three games should enable us to finish in the second group of 8 teams and thus be seeded for the play-off round. We must take one game at a time though and first deal with Slavia, who are struggling in 31st place without a win, and seemingly heading for non-qualification.......

Hark ... listen ... hear that chomping noise? It's the sound of Spurs supporters eating their words after Tottenham's emphatic win over Brentford. First came the boos, now the oohs as people sit up and suddenly realise there's the making of a proper Tottenham team here.

They say a week is a long time in politics. In football, it's like a lifetime. First of all, the team gave a proud account of themselves with the draw at Newcastle, now this spanking of Thomas Frank's old Brentford team who can scare the very best........

Spurs fans saw a home league win for the first time since the opening day of the season. A win at last! It just remains a mystery really as to why we had to wait this long for the energy, effort, movement, skill, and excitement demonstrated here against Thomas Frank's old team.

Xavi Simons starred. We've known all along what a footballer he is and today he capped a fine overall performance with an assist for Richarlison's goal, and a superb individual goal......

Spurs captain Cristian Romero earned a precious point and justice for Spurs with an added time overhead kick after a shocking penalty award and conversion had looked like giving Newcastle the spoils.

"Cuti" Romero scored his first league goals of the season, and his first since the European Super Cup Final against PSG in August. This was also Romero's first brace of his career. Both were stunning in their execution and were Spurs' only shots on target. In one game "Captain Marvel" (the original comic book character was male!) scored more league goals than any individual Wolves player has managed so far this season!

The hardy band of travelling Spurs fans was rewarded for their endeavour, and their whole-hearted support throughout the game..........

In a league where just about any team (barring Wolves at the bottom) can beat any opponent, Spurs have lost for the third time in a week and have also lost their third consecutive London Derby. Thomas Frank's team have certainly got the losing habit and will probably slip into the bottom half of the table later today (Sunday).

If they are not careful, Spurs will become one of those teams incapable of beating anyone. They certainly can't win a home Premier League game at the moment.........

Losing to Arsenal is always hard to bear. Losing 4-1 and conceding a hat-trick to Ebere Eze (the man who shunned us in the summer) is quite another. Quite frankly (Thomas), this defeat was nothing short of a disgrace, and unfortunately not the first by a three-goal margin at The Emirates.

Richarlison's wonder goal (think Sarr in the pre-season friendly against the same team) was no consolation for our no-show in the first half when we failed to register a shot, and played a dismally failed defensive strategy with what turned out to be a 5-4-1 formation. Five when defending you might say. Oh, but we were always defending. Richarlison was our most advanced player, but all too often he was only 35-40 yards from our goal.........

The most epic thread on The Spurs Odyssey message board was one which started in 2010. This provided the history of our new stadium applications (including the thankfully unsuccessful bid for the Olympic Stadium) right up to the present day with images of the completed new stadium. In the early hours of Saturday 20th October, 2018, our stadium thread reached 1,000 pages! There is a genuine community feel about the board, which is moderated.

Every Spurs match is covered with excellent threads, which feature images and stats from previous games. There is so much to enjoy about the message board which also has an off-topic section where non-football matters are discussed.

There is also a great archive of filed material with links to some great Spurs history and goals.

If you would like to become even more involved, then please e-mail me (webmaster@spursodyssey.com) stating your full name, address (Town and Country will suffice!) and desired user name, and I will do the rest.

I look forward to hearing from you!
