Saint Paul told us in Corinthians of the three virtues - faith, hope and charity. Those Spurs fans travelling to Anfield year after year have two of those qualities to the full - faith in their team, and hope of success. Sadly, at this venue, we see too much charity towards the hosts, and I fear another case of "it's the hope that kills you."

Many of those fans were inconvenienced by the date of this fixture being changed after some had made their travel and accommodation plans for a game being played 200 miles from home.

Liverpool and their star signings - Bradley Barcola from PSG, Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes and Victor Munoz from Osasuna are still settling in. That must also be said about new coach Andoni Iraola, who had so much success at Bournemouth......

It's sarcastic song time again, friends and fellow mourners. This week, following on from Passing Strangers and Things Can Only Get Better we have, fittingly, A Long And Winding Road, the Beatles classic that leads us to Anfield tomorrow for League Cup action and probable elimination.

Who honestly thought we would be going into our fifth game of the season without having smelt a Premier League victory and; even more worryingly, seeing a single league goal?

Spurs Odyssey readers will remember what a goal looks like, the sort of thing Harry Kane and Jimmy Greaves used to serve up by the bucketload........

Spurs have failed to score in their first four league games for the first time in their history. They've made their worst start since 2008 (remember two points from eight games?). There were ironic jeers when we hit our first (weak) shot on target early in the second half, and boos in the second half when we passed backwards one time too many for the liking of the home crowd.

That home crowd has seen just won league win in the calendar year in 13 games. That was, of course, the narrow win over Everton on the last day of the season. We couldn't even beat the team against whom we have gained the most Premier League points. In truth, despite our domination in terms of possession. David Moyes' team looked the more likely winners. When, oh when, will the good times return to Tottenham?.....

Spurs had lost their first two Premier League matches this season and the last four league meetings with Nottingham Forest. So there was some apprehension going into this game. A goalless draw meant that both sequences were ended. However Spurs haven't scored a goal in their first three league matches for the first time since the 1974-75 season and the first time in three consecutive Premier League games since November 2021

There was also some controversy as Forest had a goal disallowed for handball after VAR intervention......

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!
