· Ange runs out of supporters - Giller's view
Hands up: I confess to chickening out and staying off line after Tottenham's exit from the FA Cup at Villa Park yesterday. I had neither the appetite nor the answers for the lynch mob demanding the head of both chief coach Ange Postecoglou and chairman Daniel Levy.
The keyboard warriors think I am doing more harm than good for the club with my stubborn defence of Ange, and the way I keep pointing out the pluses of the Levy and ENIC reign.
Ange is hanging by a thread to his job that most people think they can do far better than the Greek Aussie, and more fans are coming out in the open with their desire to see the back of Levy and ENIC.......

. Aston Villa 2 Spurs 1 - Just the Europa League to go for then
. Aston Villa v Spurs FA Cup Preview - Yet another absentee from Spurs' FA cup squad
Thanks to Eugene Gasper for this picture
It's fair to say that due to Richarlison's injury sustained at Anfield on Thursday night, Ange Postecoglou had to go into this FA Cup fifth round tie with even less resources, with no players returning from injury just yet. However, the fact is that Spurs have been knocked out of the two domestic cups in just four days and Ange's hope of a second season trophy rests upon success in the Europa League. The same can be said of winning any place in Europe next season.
Spurs list of absentees runs to 12 with Dane Scarlett cup-tied for this game. Once again, we had to play without our top three scorers and arguably top four centre-backs. The depression deepens for Spurs and for Postecoglou, who has led us to 21 defeats in our last 46 games in all competitions.......

This was always going to be a very difficult hurdle for a team missing its first choice goalkeeper, three centre-backs, its three top scorers and more. The pressure was relentlessly against us from the start. At half-time, without one shot on target, we were level in the tie, seemingly still with some hope of success. That flicker of hope was extinguished five minutes into the second half when the inexperienced Kinsky brought down Nunez and Salah converted the penalty in front of The Kop.
I personally cannot remember The Kop being so vocal as their team pressed on and added two more goals to ensure their passage to a record 15th League Cup final. Son had a couple of late efforts that were close, but we ended the game without a single shot on target which is an abysmal statistic. Spurs were just not at the races here.......

Thanks to Andy Park for this picture
It was Groundhog Day (2nd February) over in Pennsylvania, but the only significant number two here was the two goals scored by a Spurs side still missing their top three scorers (Maddison, Johnson and Solanke) and their two first choice centre-backs (Romero and Van de Ven).
Another superb inswinging corner by Son led to a first half own goal, and after defending their slender lead with utter determination and resolution Spurs achieved their first win in seven Premier League games and also their first clean sheet in those intervening league matches. The second goal, also made by Son, but scored with aplomb by substitute Pape Sarr, was one of pure skill.
Thus, Spurs climbed back into 14th place, ten points clear of the bottom three. That is a significant and surely decisive margin.........

. Spurs 3 Elfsborg 0 - The kids are alright!
. Spurs v Elfsborg Preview - Mickey van de Ven returns tomorrow!
Three young academy products (two of whom came off the Spurs bench in the second half) won the game, together with the headlines as they each scored their first senior goals for the club.
20-year-old Dane Scarlett was recalled from his loan at Oxford this month and now he has appeared for Spurs, he won't be going out on loan again this season. Dane made his senior debut in November 2020 and last appeared for the first team at the end of last season. He set the ball rolling when he headed in Kulusevski's cross in the 66th minute.
To be honest, Elfsborg never looked like scoring and Scarlett's goal was probably enough to settle the result. However, debutant 19-year-old Damola Ajayi scored a very neat goal on his club debut (assisted by Scarlett) before Mikey Moore (still only 17 remember) scored his first senior goal almost on the stroke of full time. The kids are alright!......

. Spurs 1 Leicester 2 - John Ellis writes
. Spurs v Leicester Preview - Spurs to win this one, surely?
"It's happened again!" That's just one of the chants we had to suffer from gleeful Leicester fans as we made our way down the High Road. The only other team they've beaten away this season was Southampton. Even Spurs managed that, but that was eight league games ago on 15th December. We've lost four consecutive games now in the Premier League. Our last home win was 14 games ago (9 at home) in early November. Leicester dragged themselves out of the bottom three to end their horrible run of seven defeats. Anyone can beat Tottenham now.
All excuses aside (Injuries and fatigue), I am fed up with writing about constant defeat. You must be fed up with reading about it. The fans in the stadium were directing their ire not at the coach, but at Daniel Levy. The "We want Levy out!" chant has previously been heard at away games and in pockets at home, but today they became increasingly vociferous. Firstly, during a lull in play in the first half (Leicester's "game management" ensured plenty of those), before we were losing and then of course in the second half........

. Everton v Spurs Preview - Not so easy this time
Thanks to Eugene Gasper for this picture
Spurs woes were increased yesterday when rumours spread regarding a knee injury to Dominic Solanke. Post-match, Ange Postecoglou confirmed that Solanke would be out for weeks. Pre-match he had advised us that both Bissouma and Johnson were doubtful. Hence, we started another game with 10 absentees through injury. We did see the return of Ben Davies at the back.
The level of injuries is unprecedented in my experience, but this does not excuse a pathetic first-half performance that allowed Everton to score three goals. They'd only managed three league wins until now and had only scored one league goal in their last six matches. Everton's last home league win over Spurs was just over 12 years ago when David Moyes was in charge for his last season before taking over at Old Trafford. Only Spurs could make "The Toffees" look this good. We became tragically unstuck........

Spurs Odyssey Message Board |
Spurs Odyssey Message Board
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!
