Here we go again! This is the 78th year, from way back in the Push and Run era, that I have had to steady my nerves ready for the start of a new season - and this one, 2026-27, comes packed and packaged with promise and potential. And I'm not taking the 'p'.

I think our toughest problem, starting with Brentford on Saturday, will be recognising the players in manager Roberto De Zerbi's new-look, revamped Spurs. Here are the main comings and goings, with perhaps more business still to be done in this very obviously post-Daniel Levy era.......

Roberto de Zerbi's Spurs side produced the performance they needed to keep West Ham in the bottom three and relegate them for the first time in 15 years. For me, no gloating is involved in this result. I simply shed tears of joy and relief at the final whistle as Spurs ensured their current run in the top flight enters a 49th year next season.

It's the first time since 1975 that Spurs have suffered such a last day scenario. It must never happen again.

Joao Palhinha scored the vital goal towards the end of the first half. It was his seventh goal of the season and of those no less than three gained us precious points. Those goals were at home and away against Wolves, plus today's winner......

Spurs went into this game effectively needing just one point to ensure their Premier League survival. Unfortunately, they suffered "the usual result" at Stamford Bridge and will have to go through the tensions of a final day battle for survival.

We will be at home to Everton (statistically one of our favourite opponents) while West Ham host Leeds, who they need to beat to stand a chance of climbing above Spurs. We still need at least a point.

We hoped for a point against Chelsea, but now face unbearable final day tension. We've never faced such a scenario in the Premier League years..........

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!
