One of my favourite trips to the old White Hart Lane was when we won 1-0, Spurs fan Chris Powell scoring the goal.
My stepdaughter has undertaken some of the design work for the new stadium. Although she is more used to working on venues such as airports, she says she has never seen such a high standard of finish.
Building the new stadium, surely the finest in the country, distracted the club from the pitch leading to Spurs only just avoiding relegation last year. Much the same happened at Arsenal with the move to the Emirates.
Now a change in leadership has seen more investment in the team. However, it doesn't seem to have paid off at Brentford on Saturday, although there are still signings to come.
The Sunday Times reported: 'Spurs looked worryingly reminiscent of that side that buckled under the first sign of pressure last season. Brentford pulverised Tottenham from start to finish. De Zerbi was a little ball of frustration on the side.'
His watchword is 'Il campo parla', the pitch speaks. Haringey's finest will want to show what they can do on Wednesday. Charlton could well get thumped, but the more important match is against Preston North End on Saturday.
A defeat will give the pessimists and negativists their first chance this season, but the result will be no reflection of the calibre of the management or the team.
Tyreece Campbell has signed a new four year contract with the club.
