Marcello Lippi in, Martin Jol out! The only way to save Spurs' season

The last time we beat Arsenal was in 1999. Also the only reason Spurs haven't been succesful over recent years was because we are always too quick to push the panic button. I truthfully believe the only way to turn our season around will be to give him time. He turned it around last year and we came desperately close to winning trophies but for poor defending.I'm sure we'll do it again.

I believe we beat the gooners 2-1 in 2001 actually and Rebrov got the winner

2001? What planet are you on? Are you people seriously fans or just muppets that have nothing better to do with your time than write this crap, at least PaxtonYids got the right idea

You should be happy you could even get as talented a manager as Jol. There is no way Lippi will come to WHL, noone will. The club is being run by idiots....think Real Madrid without the lure of being a big club

Point the author is trying to make is not if jol can turn it around, but he he take us to a new level. The whole defensive is poor no one is dying to block shots, closing attackers space, defending too deep. We still will do well in the league, but not better than last season because there is no belief. If wenger of ferguson had our squad we will be top four!

2-1 vieira scored for us, iverson and tim sherwood for you

frankly this site is a joke, i haven't ever seen an article with a shred of truth or that ever happens, its pathetic really, jol must stay in, last time we gt a 'big name manager' he was shit and left, i'm sure lippi will do much better....or not, fergie was at united for ages b4 he did anything, its all about continuity as jol said earlier this week, as long as we get a UEFA cup spot agen and gd cup runs and start getting points on the board i'll be happy, he has had alot of major injuries and hard teams to play against in our opening 6 matches, give jol a break, jeeeeeez! SPURS 4EVA!

lippis a world cup winner a top coach, if he takes another job that isnt for a team he has a real love for itll be a champions league club minimum, the guy can pick and choose his jobs. i like jol hes a likeable manager, but how comes EVERYONE can see the defense and creative players in the midfield was thin, hes wasted 16 mil that could have brought a good cb and a good creative midfielder on bent who you didnt need, all hs done now is alienate defoe who will surely leave if any offers come in in jan or at the least the summer, how the club can talk about loyalty and how he needs to sign his new contract when they spent 16 mil on another striker instead of showing some faith in him is ludicrous! as for damien commoli the back stabbing nonce i think arsenal are wel rid of that sort of character! anyone who thinks hes a big shot cos he negotiated paying 8 mil for zokora needs a brain transplant!

we are not far removed from a time when a 10th place finish and a decent performance in one or two games against a top team was a good season ok bmj does seem to be tactically behind the top coaches but as for for players not being motivated come on jol has assemled the best young squad we have ever had and i think it is time to sit back and evaluate the expectations a lot of you guys have for the team the future is bright so support the manager and the players and things will come good!

For the first time in years I was nervous about finishing behind Tottenham. Martin is probably the best that WHL has seen for years. However you could see the haunted look on his face today. The game is all about confidence. When our unbeaten run was broken, it took us two years to regain the same sort of form and confidence. I can only imagine blogs like these and chairmen like Levy do not help.

Yes Yol has done a lot for spurs but maybe he can't just find his way beyond the top four,think it's time to find someone who can fight the top four battle tactically. definitely Yol lacks that, Chelsea at home last year , Arsenal Last year , Man unt Last year and this year, Fulham Two weeks ago, why do we keep loosing grip after leading for so long.?

You poor sad spuds. What makes you think that Lippi would even consider such a treacherous club with its fickle fans? Most spuds are loud mouths who know nothing about football and believe whatever is printed in the sun, Spurs will never succeed - regardless of what poor manager you choose.

Finally some spurs fan saw sence, and starting crying, because they have now realised that arsenal are much better. Even with a dodgy keeper and a head start we showed you at your own turf. 9 points ahead of you, and a game in hand. beautiful football,passing,touch,movment ohhhh how i love being a gooner red & white. adebayoor adebayooooor adebayoooooor fabregas fabregas fabregas king kolo king kolo

Obviously I'm delighted with today's result, but putting that to one side, I think you lot and Levy should get behind Jol and let him carry on what he's been undoubtedly doing since he arrived. I seriously am not one of those gooners who thinks 'yeah keep Jol cause he's shit' because I rate him highly, he talks sense, he has made great buys, and Spurs have been consistently improving. I get a lot of stick for this, but I would love to see Spurs become a real threat to us again (no offence intended) like you were pre-Wenger, Klinsmann part I era for example, because it makes the derby that much more meaningful. If Jol is given full control over signings and team management then he can do well. If not then you'll never get where you want to be.

[quote]I was down the Lane today, picking up 2 extra tickets for the game at the weekend.I spent a lot of time here for business as well as matchdays.I just sat for a moment in my seats area gazing out onto the turf,lost for a moment in the eerie quietness and felt how far removed this was from the madness that will be 1:30 on Saturday afternoon.I have sat it this place boy and man for 25 years, seen it all in that time, good memories as well as the bad. Of course all this comes with being a life long lover of your club, you have to have broad shoulders. As I got up to leave a friend who works at the club came over and sat with me. I was lost in thoughts of Great days here."I can't wait for saturday" I said to him, he smiles and nodded. and as I walked away from my seats and from this wonderful stadium I thought "We can do this, we're taken all the stick over the years,but we can really do this". I got into my car and as I drove out of the main entrance I smiled WITH REAL BELIEF and thought" I just can't wa

u spuds make me laugh, what makes you think a top quality manager wants to come to and manage spuds you guys live in planet cukoo land, 16mil for bent and cant even hit the target. spuds think they are a big club the sooner you realise that you are not the less expectation you might have. spuds have spent nearly 90mil in the last 3 years and your ambition is to get 4th place off arsenal instead of trying to compete for the title. cmon the gooners, PLEASE SPUDS FANS WAS FABREGAS CLASS TODAY OR WHAT?

Since last season..Jol is too negative to break into the top four.Top four clubs have top four class managers..Lippi said he would take Spurs job and nothing wrong with trying...Lippi or Capello either will do.

Jol can moan about finishing as much as he likes but it wont wash..Arsenal to be fair missed some very good chances via Diaby and Adebayor twice..Jol instead should talk about conceding 6 goals in the last 2 games...his coaching is not good enough specialy 3 clean sheets in 34 games is a joke.

40 million pounds and bottom 4 is the best spurs can achieve oooh. With a player like bent (Championship Player) what a waste(of 16 million), defoe is by far better. please stop this dream of top 4 or being better than arsenal and focus on the general league, its a 20 team league and not arsenal / spurs league. And for once let jol buy the players he wants and not any player linked with arsenal (Comolli). Como is one man that is very happy any time spurs loses. we want some like arsene who hates losing.

Something has got to give. There has got to be a change - you can see it in everybody's body lanaguage - it needs to change but not BMJ. He is the best thing that has happened to Spurs since whatever Gazza, Hoddle, Venables, Greaves whatever etc. But he nees some help. Chris Hughton was a solid player but is an average coach - he was a defender but our defence at the moment is shite. Send Chris to help Clive out with the stiffs or serve half time sherberts to the comfy chairs and bring in some help for BMJ to shake the lazy overpaid tossers on the pitch up a bit.
