2026/27 SPURS SEASON PREVIEW, featuring Flav from The Fighting Cock.

With Roberto De Zerbi preparing for his first full season in charge of Tottenham, Jon is joined by Flav for the definitive Spurs season preview.

How much should we read into an unbeaten pre-season? Has Tottenham's huge summer transfer business actually made the squad better? And after the departures of Cristian Romero and Djed Spence, are there still major holes that need fixing?

Jon and Flav go through the Spurs squad position by position, decide who should stay and who should still leave, pick their strongest starting XIs and debate the players they're most excited to watch this season.

Plus: who's ready for a breakout year? What's the biggest thing that could derail De Zerbi's Spurs? Does having no European football give Tottenham a genuine advantage? And after narrowly avoiding relegation last season...

Just how high can Spurs realistically finish?

Jon and Flav make their final league predictions, choose their Spurs Player of the Season, top scorer, breakout star and signing of the season, before finishing with one bold prediction each that could look either inspired or completely ridiculous by May.

Jon looks at what we’ve actually learned from Roberto De Zerbi’s unbeaten pre-season, asks whether Tottenham’s £200m+ squad overhaul has genuinely made the team stronger, and discusses one of the biggest decisions of the summer as Antonin Kinsky takes over as Spurs’ number one.

There’s also the latest on the Savinho saga, continued links with Cody Gakpo and the big transfer question: if Spurs have one major signing left, should the priority be a winger or a striker?

Plus, Mathys Tel and Mikey Moore emerge as two of the biggest winners from pre-season, Tottenham’s midfield suddenly looks stacked, and interest continues to build around Pape Matar Sarr.

With the Premier League kicking off this weekend, Jon also briefly looks ahead to Brentford — with the full match preview coming separately on Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/c/TheBigJonBassShow
