It's a danger of becoming a bit of a tradition at Tottenham. A trip down to Brighton to answer some tough questions... followed by a humbling, and a return journey with few answers and perhaps even more queries.
Well, we got one answer at least. Are Spurs in a title race? If their 1-0 defeat at the Amex Stadium revealed anything it's that considering this side as contenders may actually be an insult to those actually involved in the battle for the Premier League crown.
Last season, Tottenham's response to a European record home defeat dealt by Bayern Munich in a 7-2 Champions League crushing, was followed by an arguably even worse performance when they were easily dispatched 3-0 at Brighton just a few days later.
