Nobody who saw this game will ever forget it. A classic cup-tie. It can be briefly summarised as follows.

An even first half saw Spurs go in at the interval with a 1-0 lead. Spurs dominated the first 15 minutes of the second half building up a 3-0 lead. Surely they were on the way to the semi-finals? But wait!

A totally inept eight minutes brought United back into contention at 3-2. They dominated the next 15 minutes but couldn't equalise. Spurs finally got the ball down the other end and unbelievably scored directly from a Sonny corner. Ten minutes were left including time added on. United scored in time added on. Would they or wouldn't they?

In the end Spurs prevailed 4-3. ........

I am not going to be the one who dances on the grave of ex-Saints boss Russell Martin, who was sacked by Southampton last night within 90 minutes of the savage 5-0 thrashing by the Jekyll and Hyde team that is Tottenham.

With my bias clearly showing, I am much happier to skip in delight with a Spurs side that on its day is arguably the best in the land. Sadly, these days have been few and far between and we (including manager Ange Postecoglou) have no idea which Tottenham team is going to turn up.......

This was a pivotal game for both sides. After wins for Newcastle yesterday and Manchester United today (at Man City), Spurs began the game in 13th place, needing to win to climb back into the top half. Southampton were stuck at the bottom of the table but needed a win to at least put them in touch with Wolves.

The result was almost certain within 15 minutes. I say almost, because it is Spurs, after all. Spurs were three up in that time and continued their rampage to take a five-goal lead into half-time. Russell Martin's side will be heading straight back to the Championship on this form, but they at least drew the second half in which Spurs understandably took their feet off the pedal........

In the cauldron that is Rangers' Ibrox Park stadium, packed to the rafters with fervent Scots, Spurs fell behind early in the second half but salvaged a point thanks to team work by substitutes Dominic Solanke and goalscorer Dejan "Deki" Kulusevski.

Rangers (who have an "old firm" League Cup Final on Sunday) stood one place above Spurs before and after a result that keeps both teams in the hunt for a top eight place and automatic qualification for the Round of 16. With two games to play in the New Year just 4 points separate teams in 8th and 25th places. UEFA must be pleased with how the new style competition is working out........

The dream began with the news that both first choice centre-backs would start for Spurs. Neither made it to the end of the game. Then when Spurs went two-up inside eleven minutes, we dared to dream that we might see one of our better performances of the season.

Indeed, it was one of our better games, but we surrendered the points with poor defending for Chelsea's first goal and foolishly committing clear penalty fouls in the second half. Cole Palmer does not fail from the spot and even delighted his fans with a cheeky Panenka for his second penalty and Chelsea's fourth goal. That was the cue for a mass exit of the disheartened home support.......

Remember those halcyon days of "I'm loving Big Ange instead?" Yeah, me too - just about. Spurs under-achieved yet again and fell to their sixth defeat and tenth place in an admittedly tight Premier League table. Bournemouth thoroughly deserved their third Premier League win over a Spurs side that seems incapable of playing "Ange-ball" to the requirements of their leader.

The home side scored from a set piece which was so poorly defended and should have had a hatful of goals. They had one disallowed, and fortunately put most of their attempts off target. Fraser Forster came to our rescue with two or three decent saves, but he was as guilty as anybody with poor play-out passing........

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!
