Last season’s league runners-up started their first home game this season with a defeat to the last season league champions Chelsea. Due to the renovations going on at White Hart Lane, Tottenham had to make Wembley their compulsory home ground throughout this season. Unfortunately for Spurs, this ground has not been favourable for them. History seems to repeat itself anytime they play on the pitch.

Tottenham’s disarray at Wembley started last season when they had to use the ground for their Champions league home matches. They lost to Leverkusen and Monaco and drew Gent. The only win they had on the ground last season was against CSKA Moscow. With their latest defeat coming from Chelsea, this means Tottenham had played 11 matches in the new Wembley stadium and they have only struggled to win 2 of those matches. Their loss to Chelsea in their first home match of the season breaks their one year plus home unbeaten record which was kept at White Hart Lane.

Presently, the Spurs have nowhere to hide, they have to face this challenge and resolve the Wembley disagreements as Wembley will host their home matches throughout the season. If they should allow this poor Wembley form to continue this season it is going to be highly disastrous for them. And this is a season that technically should be theirs if we were to judge from their consistencies. It is also a season that they are expected to have a good outing in the UEFA champions league. As they have worked hard to systematically and successfully preserved their stars from impending predators, the Wembley jinx should not be allowed to serve as a stumbling block for their success.

The next Spurs game at Wembley will be against Burnley. This could also amount to a test for them as Burnley defeated Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the opening games of this season EPL. more artcles on www.viewingcentres.com.ng
