Jol and Robbo

The blinded faith by Jol on Robbo will cost him the job ultimately. It's time for Cerny.

The UEFA Cup "captaincy confidence boost" obviously didn't work.

Will we see Jol in 2 weeks time again?

Did Robinson ever promised to Jol tht he will pay him 4M?

In Jol I trust.

It's not a decision to be taken lightly, dropping E'sN1. Let's face it Maclaren hasn't been any more decisive and will probably end up playing Robbo this week too.

I thought we played well generally tonight, while some of the players, Keano, Zokora, Jenas, Daws, Kaboul and Bale did VERY well. The ref was a complete wanker !

I still can not figure out why we need Robbin ?
Reason 1 : Jol fully support Robbin, then Robbin also fully support Jol?
Reason 2 : Robbin is the keeper for England team, so Jol face a high pressure to fire him?
Can somebody tell me the real reason??
I still can not sleep because of the match and why we always let somebody score in the last minute?? There are too many why in my brain now.

Sam, you're relatively new to being a Spurs fan, but get used to it. I've been following Spurs for nearly 40 years now and it has always been the same. We flatter to decieve, we play some lovely football, but we have an innate capacity to shoot ourselves in the foot.

A couple of positives from last night - we shut out most of the long range shots and Jol finally decided to keep a winning forward pairing on the pitch rather than give someone else a run because he felt he had to.

Robison is a liability, ditto Chimbonda when he's defending - the trouble with the right back position is that Stalteri didn't look any better in midweek. But for keeper we have an excellent back up waiting in the wings who surely deserves a run now.

And we maintained our average of two goals conceded per league game this season - if we continue to require three goals to win a game it's going to be a long season.

The last minutes goals at Sunderland, Fulham, Liverpool costs us 5 points already. We would be mid-table or above with that 5 points if we learn to stop conceding the last minute goals.

Regarding Chimbonda, we should bite Chelsea's hand off when they offered $10M for him in the summer in retrospect. I am sure we can get at least 2 if not 3 good reinforcements with $10M for a right back.

Sigh. Drop Robinson. Been said before, will be said again. Clear to everyone except Jol.

Find it hard to blame anyone for last night as we played very well in places and on the face of it a draw we would have taken before the game. My gripe last night was their first goal, there was a huge fuckin gap in the wall again, and when you watch it, Chimbonda jumps about 5 hours early with his arms raised high in the air, alright they scored (the ball took a deflection on the way through, I think Robbo would have held it if not) but if it had hit him then it would have been a pen.

Anyways I don't have to suffer the usual torrent of abuse from my extended family now.

What will be interesting is where ourselves and Liverpool find themselves when we play them at WHL on the last day of the season.

Sean We'll be figting for 5th place ... at least

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME ..
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON ...
YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU ...
SPURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRS !!!!! !!!

.. next up... a cheeky 2 -1 smash and grab at NOOOCursal !

well we need to get a couple of tricky away wins at places like the Barcodes, to make up for stupid points dropped (home to Everton, away at Sunderland, not holding on at Foolham)

Normally a draw would be fine there, but if we can get the smash n grab, we can build from that and the draws vs Villa and the Scouse.

agree Sean, we played well.

I managed to watch the game in the hotel room.

I'm quick to criticise Jol when he gets it wrong so it's only fair I offer some praise when he gets it right. We didn't do much wrong on Sunday. The subs ( or lack of ) were spot on. Why change the state of play when things are going well. When he did introduce a sub he kept the shape of the side in tact and pushed hard for another goal. Best way to defend is to attack.

No-one was at fault for the equaliser. That's football...it's a game of 90 minutes + stoppage and unfortunately goals can occur at any stage of the game.

My only criticism is why does he persist in playing Robbo ?
