Here we go!
Tottenham Hotspur’s 2026/27 Premier League campaign kicks off with a challenging trip to Brentford. The Gtech is always a tough venue to visit, and the ninth-place Bees have had a strong preseason, coming off emphatic wins against Rennes and Eintracht Frankfurt.
A neutral could be forgiven for thinking it might be a bridge too far for Spurs, only narrowly escaping relegation last season.
But this is a new season, and a new-look Spurs. The Lilywhites have splashed the cash to overhaul their squad, and under coach Roberto De Zerbi appear to have turned a corner, staving off disaster last season before embarking on a successful preseason of their own (Sydney Super Cup winners, you’ll never sing that).
There are still many questions to be answered, though. Could Spurs’ lack of attacking depth hurt them? Is the amount of change to the squad going to affect cohesion (or lack thereof)? Where in the world is Dejan Kulusevski?
Let’s get started. I am ready to get hurt again.
COYS!

The match thread rules are the same as always. To any visitors coming here for the first time, welcome! We’re glad you’re here! Wipe your feet, mind the gap, and be sure to check out the other pages at this outstanding site. While you’re here, though, we have a few rules and regulations:
- Absolutely no links to illegal streams. They’re bad and they get us in trouble. Violators will be warned or banned.
- We have rules against “relentless negativity.” Nobody likes a Negative Nancy. Don’t knee-jerk and post outlandish or hurtful things just because you’re frustrated.
- Along those lines, outright abuse of players or match officials is also not allowed. It’s fine to say “wow, that was a really bad call,” but it’s NOT okay to direct copious amounts of abuse in the direction of said official over a call you did not like.
- Treat other people in the match thread the way you would want someone else to treat your grandmother. Be nice. This is a community of fans, not an un-moderated message board.
- NO SPIDERS!
- Finally, while we don’t have a rule against profanity, please try and keep the naughty words in check. Also, language that is sexist, racist, transphobic, or homophobic in nature will be swiftly deleted and you will be immediately banned. This is an open, supportive community.
Have fun, and COYS!
