Time for a the ramblings of a man suffering from a serious case of indifferent non-chalance....
Rewind one year and the headlines were all about a London club whose manager was undermined by his board buying players he didn't want. That London club had got to a the FA Cup final the season before and had qualified for Europe for the first time in who knows how long. Unfortunately, the pressure of expectation at the start of the next season was too much and the club started off badly resulting in the manager getting the sack and the club just about staying up on the last day of the season. That was West Ham, this is Spurs. The question now is will we stay up? Not as ridiculous a question as it may have sounded a few weeks ago...
As for Martin Jol, from the minute our board were caught with their pants down it was only ever going one way. The fact that he was eventually fired BEFORE last night's game just about sums up our board. What a bunch of c*nts (and that's a word I don't like using). Our most successful manager in 25years gone in three seasons... who in their right mind will want to take over? I feel sorry for the man and I sincerely hope he gets a job he deserves somewhere soon.
As for me and no doubt other countless Spurs fans last night was one of the strangest atmospheres I've experienced or am likely to experience. Losing at home for the second time in 60yrs in Europe and the fans singing the name of the (at that moment!) ex-manager! Surreal.

As I udnerstand it, both jol and Hughton were sacked before the game. Why the fuck did they stick around? That is exactly the attitude which ahs got them in the shit they are now. No self-respect? Would Wenger, Maureen or Fergie have stayed? Of course not.
Ultimately it seems that Jol was just too good of a person to be a top notch manager. At teh highest level you have to ruthless. he isn't. That's why he is no longer at the Lane.
