Schizophrenic

[davidmatzdorf]

I do NOT believe you actually felt the need to type this.

It was out of a responsibility to someone specific from my past.

Do you HAVE a sense of humour?

Read my posts. Then you'll realise what a silly question that is.

In fact, one quick question ... were you bullied at school?

Briefly. I survived. Why is it relevant, or are you just being rude?

And as for "Schizophrenia is a very common and debilitating mental illness, characterised by auditory hallucinations, confusion between fantasy and reality and often by obsessive or paranoid behaviour ..."

It's JUST like supporting Spurs then!

And that's the only bit of your post that makes sense... :roll: :clap: :razz: :wink: :twisted:

Anyone who is thinking of calling for Jol's head (even if only half of you is thinking of it) is a moron.

In his first season we had our best league finish in 16....thats 16 years!!

This season we have suffered from injuries and bedding in new players, but i think we will rally and get something out of it.

Getting rid of jol will solve nothing, yes he is imperfect tactically on occassion, but overall he is moulding the team. It will take another year and a couple more big players but he will do it. Starting all over with another manager would put us back another two or three years.

There will be tough decisons to make in the future, I believe we will have to get shot of Defoe and Keane. Top clubs don't play with these kind of limited strikers who can't do anything with their back to goal. Look at Saha, Drogba, Kuyt, Rooney, you need strikers who are quick, can play on the last man, but are also able to hold the ball up or drop deep and link play. This is probably why we are strongly linked with Bent in the Summer. A front two of Berbs and Bent would offer the team alot more options.

There is also trouble brewing with Robinson, i think Jol persevere with him until the end of the season, but I wouldnt be surprised if Alnwick starts as number one next year.

Have faith in Jol, it was never going to be plain sailing all the way.

Believe me I am no moron, and maybe you need to take the rose tinted shades off ! I want MJ to suceed ! .
How refreshing when he came to spurs a manager who was honest and frank in interviews, but lately all I hear is waffle .
I do not want another manager again with all the disruption that goes with it, but I am bitterly disappointed with some /most of our lacklustre performances this season.
How many managers would put up with his team not turning up at the emirates in a local derby, or their team being spanked 4-0 at home , I want a reaction from the team and if this doesn,t happen I want to hear some harsh words from the big man , at least showing that it ####ING HURTS TO BE BEATEN ! The blood is starting to boil , Martin calm me down, get the team going again otherwise the jury,s out !

I understand what you are saying. I dont think we should sack him now, that would not do us any favours at all for the rest of this season. As you say, logistically it would be a nightmare. On the other hand, if the season peters out like i suspect it will and we end up mid table and trophy-less then i think that the board will have plenty of amunition to fire him. I know that i cant see into the future but i really dont believe that Jol has the ability to push us on. Also, for me, its the style of our football that dissapoints me the most. Jol's way is not the Spurs way. Yes i know that we haven't played the Spurs way for along time but it doesn't mean that we should not strive for it. I want to see Spurs play with panache, and flair. I dont want to see them going away to shit teams and defending, i believe that Spurs should try to win every game.

Completely agree yidboy , that we should try to win the game not let it unfold before us , why not try practising what our motto preaches " TO DARE IS TO DO "

Exactly, to dare is to do. When i think about our history and tradition it makes me extremely proud. The great players, the great matches, the glory etc. I think a lot of matches/performances over the last couple of years have been instantly forgetable.

Of course it hurts to be beaten, but Martin Jol ranting and raving at what is essentially a young team when they got beat is not going to help anything. Lock at Wenger and Ferguson over the last couple of years where both have been develpoing new teams and the results have been below both clubs usual standards, they both supported the young players and inisisted they had belief in their teams.

There is not panacea to the years of underachievement and culture of mediocracy that engulfed the club during the late nineties. We overachieved last season and the legs are struggling with the number of games we have played this season, this could be seen in the second halves against arsenal and united recently.

Jol know what is going and its clear he holds the respect of the players, read the article translated from Dutch on these boards last week and he says its frustrating that he has no leader on the pitch at the moment who will execute his tactics, that he got frustrated when Defoe and Keane were getting long kicks from Robinson against arsenal. He will find that leadership, maybe from Dawson as he matures into our Terry.

I really believe that we should have faith and support Jol as he develops the team and club. Look what continuity does; Alardyce at Bolton, Fergie, look at the mess Charlton are in now. We have chopped and changed our managers searching for a cure for far too long and all it has got us is a solitary League cup win with a gooner at the helm.

I agree with you on Ziegler and Routledge ... but at least they would have given us options.

And ultimately if we're not going to play them - or indeed Routledge WAS crucial to the Malbranque deal - why not just sell them and put the cash towards a left-sided midfielder we WILL play?

Like I said, it's not rocket-science.

But like I said, it's not that simple either. It is not a lack of money that has stopped us buying a left winger; it's a lack of requisite quality (we offered £12m for Downing ffs). Or to put it another way, anyone we want to prize away who is good enough will cost so much that selling Ziegler and even Routledge won't make that much difference to our resources. Besides, we did try and sell Routledge but Fulham wouldn't cough up. No point selling him for a pittance, as we don't need the money that badly.

It may not be rocket science, but it is easier said than done.
