I think Ramos will get better results for us in the cup than Jol did. It's also probably the most realistic way we will re-qualify for Europe.

Bring on Blackpool - the tough examination our leaky defense needs right now!

I'm excited by Ramos, I reckon he will genuinely start from a blank canvas, this means the like of KPB, Taarabt, Dervitte and Routledge have a chance of being in the 16 on match day.

Players lacking pace and or stamina, are probably in a bit of bother.

If he can guide us to 17th place in the Lge and winning the League Cup, i'll be deliriously happy. we are in a massive relegation battle and I can't see an early escape from it.

I can see Ramos converting Kaboul into a towering powerhouse of a midfielder that he seems to like, anyone else see that?

Now if he signed Poulson aswell we could get a midfield of this:

Lennon.....Kaboul.....Poulson.....Bale

Naturally width with a proper left footer on the left and two double hard bastards in the middle, I could defo see this midfield line.

Could work well, but Kaboul will need to improve his concentration first. In terms of footballing ability, I think he's certainly good enough to play there.

Considering that it was not the self serving Tottenham Official web site that put this out, one can only be encouraged.

I think the report was very informative and balanced, and considering it was the BBC website, who are not usually complimentary to the Spurs cause, I see it as an early Christmas present for us!

Wenger and Ramos both took over clubs with a very strong defensive platform and to some extent so did Martin Jol with Santini's team never crossing the half way line.

Ramos now hasn't got that luxury which makes his job that little bit harder, although he does have a very large, talented squad already at his disposal.

Was just reading another article on the daily mail's site about Ramos, did you know when he was manager of Real Betis he busted members of his team for having a halloween party, players supposedly were so scared of being caught by him they escaped through windows, I can just imagine this tonight after the game he busts Defoe, Lennon and Huddlestone trying to escape from Darren Bent's Halloween party with bags of goodies.

Seriously? You think so? I think we'll be in the top half by January. We aren't going to be anywhere near a relegation battle come the end of the season. We have 27 games left!

Also in one game with Sevilla, they were winning 2-0 and cruising, but he thought his players were just coasting and not really trying and instead settling for the result instead of trying to drive it home. He got so angry that he made a number of changes bringing off certain players he deemed weren't putting in an acceptable amount of effort. The result was that they played the rest of the game with 10 men because he didn't have enough players who he thought were playing as he wanted.

So no more slacking and trying to settle for a one goal lead now, cos if they do we will end up with no players left on the pitch.

So no change there, then.

I completely agree with you. With the next ten games being considerably easier than the last 10 games we should have a load of points on the board by the time we play in 2008.

I think top half of the table by the year end may be pushing it, but when we look at the league, we are not that far behind a lot of teams. A good start against Blackpool tonight and Boro on the weekend will lift spirits and we will see where we go from there.

I would not be surprised to see us in the top 7 at the end of the season, not only because Ramos is good, but also because we have not been much worse (pointswise) than last year.

Tottenham fans should not expect an immediate turn-around, warns Hunter.
"He has been made out to be a superman but he is not," he said. "He inherited a good club at Sevilla, with an excellent defence, and was able to take them forward from there.
"While not taking anything away from his success, I don't like the way Ramos is being painted as some kind of five-star superman."


The above is something the board and fans should be very aware of
