West Ham's 3-1 defeat at Newcastle yesterday means that Spurs' Premier League status will be assured if we gain just one point from our final two games, thanks to a goal difference that is currently 13 better than that of "The Hammers", who looked crestfallen at the end of yesterday's proceedings. I don't think I have celebrated goals by another team as much as those of "The Toon" since "Nayim from the half-way line" against Arsenal in May 1995.

The question is - can we secure that point (or all three) at our least favourite ground - Stamford Bridge - where we have only managed one Premier League win in 33 attempts.........

How best to steady your nerves as Spurs prepare to tackle Chelsea at Stamford Bridge tomorrow? Easy. Today I am featuring the dreaded decider of the Spurs Odyssey Quiz League. Now this will REALLY cause you stress.

We can hope that Manchester City conquering Chelsea in Saturday's low-key FA Cup final has given them a hangover that will last throughout tomorrow's showdown - which will be pre-the arrival of their "saviour" Xabi Alonso.

Spurs, needing one point to open the trap door for the Hammers, must take nothing for granted and all could yet go horribly wrong.........

21-year-old Matthys Tel was both the hero and villain last night in our penultimate home game of the season against Leeds. Firstly, he scored a cracking 20 yard goal in front of the South Stand to give us a 50th minute lead, which, if held, would have given Spurs a four point lead over relegation rivals West Ham. We suffered prolonged agony when Tel performed what turned out to be a reckless overhead clearance in his own area. Play continued, but ultimately VAR intervened and when referee Jarred Gillett was called to the monitor, the inevitable announcement of a penalty followed. Dominic Calvert-Lewin did not fail from the spot.

The draw does put us two points ahead of West Ham and we are in control of our destiny with two games left. Should West Ham lose at Newcastle on Sunday (here's hoping) then one point from our last two games would be enough for Spurs. The trouble is the first of those games is at Chelsea next Tuesday. I fear this will go to the last day against Everton, and I do not want to be biting my nails then!......

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......

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!
