The official crest of Manchester United Spurs' 17-year wait for a trophy is over! With all due respect to the 1999 and 2008 League Cup wins, this is our best trophy win since the 1991 FA Cup. This was also our fourth European trophy win and our first since the 1984 UEFA Cup at White Hart Lane. Brennan Johnson's 42nd minute winner was our first goal in a European final since legend Graham Roberts' 84th minute equaliser in that 1984 final.

Thus, it is Spurs who have the glory, the Europa League trophy and entry to next season's Champions League. Ange Postecoglou got his famed "second-season trophy," in his 100th game in charge of Spurs. Whether he leads us next season remains to be seen, but for the moment, he, his team and of course we fans can soak up the unadulterated joy of this dramatic win......

Who will be SOQL champion number 11?

How best to steady your nerves as shaky Spurs approach their Europa Cup final showdown with equally brittle Manchester United at neutral Bilbao on Wednesday? Easy. Today I am featuring the dreaded decider of the Spurs Odyssey Quiz League.

This is the tie-breaker that makes me many enemies and few friends. It is when the 60 or so contestants in the running for the title of 2025 Spurs Odyssey Quiz Champion must show Trump-like selecting skill, i.e. pick a side by the seat of your pants!

Villa Park - 16.05.25

Thanks to Eugene Gasper for this picture

44 years ago, almost to the day, Ricky Villa scored his iconic FA Cup winning goal against Manchester City. Last night a team called Villa won the headlines and the match when they eventually broke down the resistance of Spurs' "B" team. Number 44, Kamara, sealed the points with the second goal, putting Villa back into the Champions League places with one game to play.

That last game for Unai Emery's side will be at Old Trafford against Spurs' Europa League opponents next Wednesday. Villa will not know their European destiny until then, but either Spurs or United will have won the Europa League Final and a coveted place in the elite European competition. United lost at Chelsea last night, so it will be 16th and 17th placed Premier League survivors battling it out in Bilbao......

Spurs v Crystal Palace, 11.05.25

Both teams have Cup Finals on the horizon. As expected, Ange Postecoglou rested most of those who had won in Norway on Thursday. Palace coach Oliver Glasner didn't read the script, and Adam Wharton was the only first choice player missing from a Palace side which faces Manchester City at Wembley on Saturday.

The Spurs B team did not perform or even compete. We were overrun by Palace, who gave a display of football they hope to repeat in the FA Cup Final.

The statistics resulting from this match do not make edifying reading, now or next season, even if we do win the Europa League......

This was a mediocre affair yielding ample evidence, that with the exception of the bottom three who were relegated earlier than ever before, these are the two worst teams in the Premier League. Each side scored a goal which in both cases resulted from the defensive frailties of their opponents. It was another familiar encounter in a very depressing Premier League season.

As with last weekend's Premier League match against Liverpool, Ange Postecoglou made eight changes from the previous game showing how low a priority he assigns to the league campaign at this stage. Two were enforced due to injuries to James Maddison and Dominic Solanke. The other six consisted of the back four, Bentancur and Johnson. All six were listed as substitutes simply to make up the numbers since none of them were used. In the absence of Son, Romero and Maddison, Guglielmo Vicario captained the side from the start for the first time......

Spurs Odyssey Message Board

Spurs Odyssey Message Board

Visit the 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!
