All the optimism surrounding Spurs in the build-up to this new season crumbled at Brentford's Gtech stadium. Yes, Roberto de Zerbi is still missing key players, with Van de Ven missing, Maddison, Udogie and Fernandes on the bench, Pedro Porro not involved and Kudus and Kulusevski not yet fit. (Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert are a long way from recovery and availability). However, Brentford, who have spent moderately overwhelmed us and took a deserved lead in the 12th minute before adding two more goals. It could have been worse, as Igor Thiago hit the post with a second half penalty that could have made the score 4-0.....

The Club is extremely saddened to learn of the passing of our former player, Terry Dyson at the age of 91.

Terry was a key part of our double-winning side in 1961, scoring in the FA Cup Final. He also scored twice in the 1963 European Cup Winners’ Cup Final. He made 209… pic.twitter.com/T1FzzVdmAP

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......

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!
