Finishing in style!

Let's get the bad start to the final month of the 2016-17 season out of the way. It was horrible to lose our fourth league game of the season (and the only one we lost to a bottom half side) at The London Stadium on May 5th. It was their "Cup Final". It was their highlight of a miserable season, and one of Spurs' objectives next season must be to ensure there are no gloating rights for "The Irons". This was the only one of our last seventeen games in which we failed to score. Enough said.

As Spurs Odyssey readers, you've been inundated with statistics throughout the season, as Spurs' records went tumbling. That trend continued in May, and I won't burden you with a repeat of too many here. Remember, you can follow our match by match progress through the links at the end of this item.

Suffice to say, we closed our season in fantastic style. Firstly we had a brilliant win over Manchester United in our last home game, when Harry Kane scored the last Spurs goal at our old White Hart Lane Stadium. We gave "The Lane" a brilliant, rousing and emotional send-off, graced by the presence of many Spurs legends from The Double era onwards.

That goal of Harry's was the first of 8 goals in his last three games, which secured a second successive Golden Boot. The brilliant 6-1 win at Leicester and 7-1 at Hull are fresh in our memories, and along with the preceding games of a marvellous season will secure massive orders for the 2016-17 DVD! Needless to say, Harry was the Spurs Odyssey player of the month too!

When did we last have back to back away wins as massive as these last two games? Not ever, as far as I can see. I have found back to back home wins in the record books at the start of the 1930-31 season, when we beat Reading (7-1) and Burnley (8-1) at home. This Spurs team, under the guidance of Mauricio Pochettino, has the potential to continue its progress, and to cement its status as the best Spurs team for years by bringing home some silverware. Bring it on!

P.S - Manchester United's Europa League win last night (24th May) means there will be five English teams in next season's Champions League. Four of them - Chelsea, Spurs, Man City and Man Utd - go straight to the Group phase, whilst Liverpool will have to qualify through the play-off round. The team from the other end of the Seven Sisters Road can look forward to Thursday night football next season!

Spurs are rounding off their season with a trip to Hong Kong. Son Heung-min and three other Spurs players made a whistle stop trip to Seoul, before joining the squad for a friendly match. Commercial ties have also been renewed, with an extension of our contract with AIA.
