The season's over, Spurs survived the drop, and now the rebuild begins. Jim is joined by JJ a coach with an A licence for A Coach's View: a player-by-player audit of the Tottenham squad heading into the summer.

It starts as "Spurs don't need to do much" and turns into something far bigger. JJ makes the case for Rodrigo Bentancur and Micky van de Ven as the spine to build around, works through the goalkeeper and centre-half questions, the Solanke and Richarlison striker dilemma, what to do with loan hero Palhinha, the young-player calls on Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray, and why the midfield is where the real overhaul has to happen.

There's also considered look at the viral video claiming De Zerbi has "masked" Palhinha — and why that story is not as tidy as it sounds.

Jim is back from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, joined by DJ and Stu, to react to Spurs beating Everton and surviving the drop — the relief, the euphoria, and a season none of them will forget in a hurry.

This is a reset episode, not a panic one. The panel digs into De Zerbi's points-per-game form, his press conference verdict on the squad and the famous "big broom", the goalkeeper question after Antonin Kinsky's redemption arc, Micky van de Ven going from maligned to one of the league's best, Djed Spence playing through a broken jaw, the man of the match debate, and the winger problem Spurs have to solve this summer.

The full five-Originals season audit follows on Tuesday.

One point keeps us in the Premier League. The biggest game of our season is Sunday — and our captain has chosen to be in Argentina.

The Originals previews Spurs v Everton — a final-day survival game — off the back of Roberto De Zerbi's press conference. Jim is joined by Si, back in the UK, and Stu in a 42-degree Dubai. And we open with a thank you, because we've passed 10,000 subscribers.

We get into what's at stake (a point at home and we're safe), what De Zerbi's "I burn, I burn" line actually means once you translate the Italian, and the team news — Solanke and Maddison available, and whether either should start. We talk through how De Zerbi sets Spurs up, why Everton having nothing to play for might not help us, David Moyes openly wanting to send us down, Djed Spence's England call-up, and the keeper question De Zerbi flatly refused to answer.

Then the big one: Cristian Romero, in Argentina for his boyhood club's final rather than our survival game. We go through "I'm not stupid", the telling "until now", the Ben Davies contrast — and the bigger question of who should captain this club next, and why it probably shouldn't simply be Maddison.

Plus your member questions, "I miss Captain Sonny" and whether we let Son go a year too soon, our final-day score predictions, and a loan watch on Mikey Moore's outstanding season at Rangers.

The Originals is the panel show from Oh So Spurs — higher-quality, more nuanced Tottenham content from fans who've lived every minute of this season. Smarter than the angry-pundit register, but still nervous supporters at heart.

Spurs lost 2-1 at Chelsea — and A Licensed Coach JJ is calmer about it than most. This is the tactical post-mortem: how we conceded, what actually went wrong, and the gameplan to survive the final day against Everton.

This episode of A Coach's View is a collaboration between Oh So Spurs and JJ's own channel, The Full Co.

Jim and JJ get into the Kolo Muani right-wing debate, the first goal broken down properly — why it wasn't just the keeper, and the "circle of half mistakes" that led to Enzo's strike — the quality gap between this Chelsea side and our midfield, the Kolo Muani error that gifted the second, and an honest defence of Richarlison, the man without whom Spurs would have been relegated long ago.

Then the bit that matters most: JJ's gameplan for Everton. Be the protagonists, dominate the ball, take control of our own destiny. A point on Sunday keeps Spurs up.

A Coach's View is the tactical strand from Oh So Spurs — Jim Goddard with A Licensed Coach JJ, breaking down what's actually happening on the pitch.

Spurs lost 2-1 at Chelsea — but the numbers say we were the better side. 2.15 xG to Chelsea's 1.09, and 67% of the game's big chances. And now the whole season comes down to one game against Everton.

Jim is joined on The Originals by Stu in Dubai and Si in Switzerland to pick through a frustrating night at Stamford Bridge and answer a stack of Oso 33 member questions.

We get into why the data and the eye test tell completely different stories, the Enzo Fernández screamer and the Kinsky question, the front-three problem and an honest defence of Richarlison, the VAR decisions still baffling us — the Delap elbow, the Cucurella booking that makes no sense — and what fans can realistically do about officiating. Plus the most honest question of the season from Oso 33 member Howard: have Spurs ever stressed you this much, and how are you coping?

A point against Everton on Sunday and we're safe.

One point from safety. Eight years since we last won at Stamford Bridge. And Chelsea? Winless in seven, four straight home defeats. Could Tuesday actually be the one?

I'm joined on The Originals by Stu in Dubai, Si in Switzerland and Johnny in drizzly Dublin for a Chelsea away preview that, for once in this fixture, doesn't lean on dread.

We dig into the maths (one point keeps us up after West Ham's defeat), what De Zerbi said in his press conference — including his flat "no" when asked if a Spurs win would be a "miracle" — and the Italian mentality angle, comparing his approach to Conte's, Frank's and Tudor's.

Plus Chelsea's form crisis (winless in seven, two goals in their last seven), the four Brighton lads in the Chelsea XI who came through De Zerbi, and Conor Gallagher returning to his old club — Si has called him for man of the match. Romero, Maddison, Tel and the keeper question all covered too.

Listener questions: Linda on whether supporter culture actually changes after this season, the Jonathan / Roston debate on whether we really need a deep-lying playmaker or whether it's a unicorn position, and Danny on whether the directors have learned anything from this season's drama.

1-1 with Leeds at home. The fifth home game this season we've taken the lead and dropped points. And now Chelsea away on Tuesday — eight years since the last time we won a league game at the Bridge. Could this finally be the one?

I'm joined on The Originals by our ray of sunshine Stu in Dubai, Si over in Switzerland, and a brilliant guest — Jason McGovern from Last Word on Spurs.

We get into what actually happened against Leeds (Tel's first De Zerbi-era goal, the Richarlison miss, the overhead-kick decision that gifted Leeds their penalty), the five-game De Zerbi trajectory — 8 points from 5, xGA halved, the direction is genuinely up — and the home pattern that won't go away.

Then Linda's brilliant question on the tumor of negativity pressing on the soul of this club, and why so much Spurs content goes nuclear after every result. And the big one — Chelsea away. Eight years at Stamford Bridge. Andy's question on how De Zerbi exorcises the demon. Roston's case for positivity. And whether this group, mostly recruited in the last two windows, even carries the scar tissue the previous lot did.

Plus your listener questions — Maddison usage, Kolo Muani vs Spence, the penalty drought, and how on earth we're planning to celebrate when we stay up.
