Poor old Martin Jol!!

I was surprised at the Bank holiday weekend to read that Martin Jol was not in full charge of Spurs' transfer purchases. The North London club buys players like confetti
and they seem to have four of everything. The club has been unlucky with injuries but
they appear to lack creativity in midfield while the defence seems to sink goals.
I feel sorry for UK Chancellor Alistair Darling, who apparently will have a lower
tax take due to lower-than-expected City bonuses. We will have to wait for his
first budget to see if he has the capacity to surprise.

Postscript: We have since said goodbye to Martin Jol and now have Juan de Ramos buying players like confetti. Last night's (15/9/08) match against Aston Villa was a disappointment going down 2-1 at White Hart Lane.
