The Tottenham Hotspur season goes from bad to worse. If they lose at home to Bolton on Sunday it will mean 9 Premier League matches without a win. Two points from two draws –incredible - including one at Chelsea - is their worst ever start. Now the jokes are starting to fly around like "What do a toothpick and Tottenham have in common? They both have two points!"
What is to be done? I think get a strong new coach who will make the current players fight for their places. Fabio Capello has restored England's results and discipline. It’s a key factor. Juande Ramos needs some new help with him - not the sack. A new face to gee up the players. Fair play to the club for not panicking - yet! Of course, they should not have sacked Martin Jol whose present club Hamburg currently top the German League. Spurs sacked Jol a year ago. In a sense, it serves them right! Changing the manager time after time very rarely works. The successful clubs are the patient ones. Changing the manager can be like an expensive divorce.You has to change the players, the staff, scouts and so on.
Meanwhile the fixture of the weekend is at Stamford Bridge on Sky Sports on Sunday lunchtime (1.30pm kick-off). Both teams are unbeaten in the Premier League and both joint top with 20 points. Chelsea have a better goal difference – plus 16 to Liverpool's plus 7. Both have injuries to key players. The difference here is that Chelsea have a bigger squad. They were without 7 regular first team stars last weekend and won 5:0 at Middlesbrough.
Liverpool are without their best player, striker Fernando Torres, and maybe another potential scorer in Robbie Keane. Chelsea to win.
Another top game will be the Sky Sports lunchtime match on Saturday: Sunderland v Newcastle. Much more than just a local derby. Newcastle looking for their first win under caretaker manager Joe Kinnear and maybe Joey Barton plays after his jail sentence and then six match suspension for another assault. Barton blames alcohol for his problems and says he gave it up in January. He says he knows he is in the last chance saloon. He should be, but you never know with football clubs... I am sure it’s Joey's last chance at Newcastle.
There are always lotsof talking points and it’s YOUR views I want. That's why Pieman Radio was formed to fill in all the gaps around the phone-ins on TV and Radio.
My message is clear; a bit of fun and fair play mate.
I'll finish this blog with some more Spurs jokes doing the rounds........
"A man was found floating down the Thames wearing a wig, full make up, suspenders and a Spurs shirt. Before informing the next of kin the police removed the Spurs shirt to save the family embarrassment."
"I met this really kinky girl last night. ‘Humiliate me’, she said. So I bought her a Spurs shirt."....
It’s only a bit of fun, folks. I hope the Spurs climb the table soon. Fair play, mate!
