Two teams with a proud history in domestic and European football clash this Sunday (2.15pm - SKY) in a vital game with regards to Premier League survival.

Forest famously won the European Cup in consecutive seasons with Brian Clough and Peter Taylor at the helm in 1979 and 1980. Spurs only last season won their fourth European trophy, although the best they've done in the Champions League is to reach the 2019 final. We famously reached the semi-final of the European Cup in 1962, losing narrowly to Benfica 64 years ago.

This week, after an excellent point gained at Anfield and a high energy winning performance at home against Atletico Madrid, Spurs recovered pride and high morale, despite aggregate defeat and exit from the Champions League. Forest made 9 changes last night in Denmark against Midtjylland, clearly prioritising Sunday's game, but still made it to the Europa League quarter-final (after a dismal home effort in the penalty shoot-out) where they will face Porto.

Both teams have poor league form. Spurs are seeking their first league win of 2026 at the thirteenth attempt. Lucky for some?.....

Full preview here...

Igor Tudor gained his first win with Spurs at the sixth attempt and Spurs entertained and excited the home crowd with a performance containing plenty of energy, desire, and goals! The three-goal deficit from the disastrous first leg was too much to overcome, but such was the effort being put in by our team that there were times when it seemed possible.

Spurs have gained plenty of pride to take into Sunday's crucial game against Nottingham Forest and the remaining Premier League programme.......

And the Oscar for best supporting player goes to Richarlison de Andrade. No matter what the critics say about him, he always plays with his heart on his sleeve, and yesterday's late-late equaliser at Liverpool was worth its weight in Brazilian gold. What a difference a goal makes!

It was fitting that he stabbed home his vital goal on March 15 - the Ides of March anniversary of the ambush of Julius Caesar. I wonder if Liverpool skipper Virgil van Dijk said to him as the ball hit the net, 'Et tu, Brute.'.....

Interim coach Igor Tudor got a battling performance with severely limited resources and Spurs gained a precious and deserved point with a goal scored by Richarlison in the 90th minute. My headline would have read "Battling performance gives Spurs hope," even if "Richie" had not scored that late goal. The fact is Spurs had more shots on target than did Liverpool who were booed off by some elements in their crowd. Spurs were well supported throughout and heartily cheered and applauded at the end of the game.

Both West Ham and Nottingham Forest had drawn their games before we played. This unexpected, but most welcome result keeps us one point above both teams. Next week's home game against Forest has mighty implications......

Spurs began this game a mere one point ahead of both Nottingham Forest and West Ham. At their eleventh attempt in 2026, Spurs sought a precious first win of the year against the last Premier League team they beat - Crystal Palace. After surviving a VAR reprieve over a marginally offside "goal" by Ismaila Sarr, Dominic Solanke actually gave Spurs the lead in a "must win" game.

The red mist descended upon the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (still no sponsor after seven years) when captain Micky van de Ven hauled back Sarr, conceding not only a penalty, but seeing a red card for preventing the goal-scoring opportunity. Sarr did not fail from the spot and Palace scored three goals in seven minutes, including two in the allocated eight minutes of added time.

Hearts and minds had surrendered on and off the pitch, as many fans evacuated the stadium, which was already at less than its full capacity. The relegation abyss has truly opened........

Once again Spurs lost out on a goal decision where contact was the issue. However based on their performance throughout the game there can't be any complaints regarding the result.

Both teams made two changes from last weekend's matches. Pedro Porro returned from injury to replace Spence who wasn't in the match squad. Solanke started with Sarr among the replacements.

Danso was on the bench wasn't used until the 90th minute so presumably he is not fully fit. Spence's absence suggests that he too is injured.....

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!
