A couple of damning stats emerged after yesterday's disastrous second home defeat of the season to fellow strugglers Aston Villa. One from "Opta Joe" told us that Spurs have lost 50 of their 141 Premier League games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as many defeats as Arsenal have suffered in 382 top-flight matches at the Emirates Stadium. The other from "Squawka" reminded us that Spurs have won just two of their last TWENTY-ONE home games in the Premier League. Those games were against Brentford last December and Everton in May.

Spurs fans (with White Hart Lane station closed on matchday!) needed determination to get to the game and to get home afterwards, and they need the patience of Job waiting for an elusive league win.

At least we saw a goal by our team today, but the one that received the loudest cheer was cancelled by VAR. The two we did score, late in the game, were meaningless in the context of our team being 3-0 down after 79 minutes.

Anyone facing us at the moment must fancy their chances against "The Fall Guys".....

6,000 Spurs fans made the long trip to Anfield, where we haven't won since 2011. They got behind the team and did see a performance which suggested there are goals in our feet, but ultimately, the Liverpool big guns were more clinical and secured passage to the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.

Those travelling fans can erase five potential fixtures from their sparse 2026/27 calendar and now have just 12 Premier League games before Christmas. We need to start winning such games, beginning with Villa on Saturday.

Both coaches made wholesale changes.......

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!
