Thanks to Declan Mulcahy for pointing the way to some of the following statistics:-
Yesterday's win against West Ham was our fourth in succession, which is our best run of form since that which ended with our League Cup win over Southend on December 20th.(Index of this season's match reports)
It was also our third successive away win, something we have not done since December 2004, when we beat Blackburn, Manchester City and Norwich City.
We have now scored 4 or more goals 3 times in our last 4 games, and 6 times so far this season (MK Dons, Charlton, Cardiff, Fulham, Bolton, West Ham. We did not manage so many goals in one game at all last season, and the last time we scored so many, so often was in the 2001-2 season (Tranmere twice, Bolton twice, Fulham, and Chelsea).
Spurs scored 4 or more goals 5 times in both the 2003-4 and 2004-5 seasons. Check out the Spurs Odyssey archives for full details!
