We don't want to waken the ghosts of great expectations, but last night was as good as its gets for we Spurs disciples. Suddenly we are thinking of trips to Ipswich and Coventry next season, rather than Stoke and Blackburn. There is still a lot of work to do, but that victory over Villa on top of the win at Wolves has put a bounce in our step.........

This was an immense and potentially season-changing result. Before the match Villa were in 5th place in the league table with 58 points and on course to qualify for next year's Champions League competition. In contrast Spurs were in the bottom three, two points behind West Ham United and had only won one league game this year. Villa had home advantage though they had played in Europe (in reality in Nottingham!) on Thursday.

Spurs put in their best first half performance of the season. They scored two fine goals and totally dominated the half. The second half was a more balanced affair. Spurs had the commitment and confidence to hold onto their lead without really seeking to extend it. Though Villa scored a last-minute goal there was never any doubt that Spurs would win......

Spurs finally won a Premier League match in 2026 at their sixteenth attempt. It was the first league victory since December 28, 2025 at Selhurst Park against Crystal Palace. This leaves Sheffield Wednesday with the dubious distinction of being the only team in the top four English divisions without a league win in 2026. The sequence was one less than Spurs worst ever run of sixteen winless league games, 91 seasons ago which ended in relegation........

In an exciting and entertaining game where Spurs led twice through excellent goals by Pedro Porro and Xavi Simons, Brighton stunned us with goals in added time at the end of each half. Until Rutter's 95th minute goal, Spurs had hopes of a precious first league win of 2026, and indeed of ending that 15-game winless run. It was a good home performance and if we are going to go down, we will do so with a fight. Roberto de Zerbi insists we can win our last five games!.....

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!
