cos apart from the financial state (which is important, I know) I'm struggling to find a positive. We seem to have:

* A manager who doesn't know if he'll still be in charge day-to-day who, in that, position cannot properly demand the respect of the players/give players a dressing-down when they're under-performing.

* No captain. No-one on the field to kick players up the a*se when they need it. No-one to carry out the managers orders on the pitch. Hell, no-one to even rally the troops to play for them, the club and the fans even if they've lost support for the manager.

* Players who are either not just not good enough (Bent, Tainio, Malbranque, Zakora) either do not care about the club (Lennon? Chimbonda? Berbatov?) or simply do not have the mental strength for the fight (Dawson, Jenas)

* A training regime that is clearly failing. We conceed the same goals week in, week out. Every team seems to know exactly how to undo our tactics and is fuly aware there is never a plan B.

Don't get me wrong, I will always love Spurs and nothing will make that change but I really need something to cling onto in what I can only see as dark times ahead!

Our away form is better than it was last year, comparing the same fixtures.

Keane has scored 5 League goals already.

We're still in European competition. (Unlike Blackburn).

It's October. Not May.

We've played 6 away games - only 4 at home.

We're gonna get a new ground?

Ledley has started walking again?

We'll win the championship?

It's only 2 months until the transfer window.

Zokora is going to the African Nations in January.

I've changed the title of this thread slightly as maybe we need at least one positive thread on here.

Bale - he is bloody brilliant!

We are generous to a fault....8 million for Jenas, 16 for Bent?

We have an illusionist/magician on the books....how else can you explain (apart from fraud) any offer where we accepted money for Murphy.

Martin Jol is an optimist...while all about see the oncoming train....it's still 'light at the end of the tunnel'.

We will not be going bankrupt any time soon....except in the realm of hollow reasons/excuses justifying the absurd.

The definition of enlightenment has now been expanded to include 'muppet'.


'knee jerk' is now an acceptable way of describing our defending style.....or lack therof..

'knee jerk' has also now entered parlance as a succinct description of the bodily motion attempted for periods of up to 90 minutes duration involving a group of strangers occassionally referred to as a midfield, and somewhat misleadingly referred to as a team.

Sooner or later we will get a manager who will put the fear of god in to our players, teach them how to defend and finally realise the true potential we have in alot of our players that seems to be diminishing under jol's coaching!!!

Oh and Gareth Bale too!!!

we already did it last 2 seasons, we know we are capable - we only need a new manager to break the psychological deadlock.

1) The best fans in the world
2) Despite their current failings this squad ( with the right coaching and selection policy) is the best we have had in the last 20 years.
3)Unlimited potential in our kids that will save us a fortune and strengthen nearly every postion over the next few years.
4) For the first time ever even our drosss such as Zok, Jenas,Bent,Chimbonda et al.have a huge resale value.
