Subject to Ramos finding a way to get this team to play in a way that produces a goal every now and again of course. He has the players to do it.

Spurs are (and probably always will be) an odd case. How one football club can turn so many good players & managers into shit in a short space of time is beyond me.

I am not going to make out like I know all the answers, because I don’t, but I do know that Ledley King is an unreliable permacrock. Any club/International manager who builds a team around him is signing their own p45 in my opinion.

So you can take it as read that your main man and captain will be out through injury more often than not, which is why your vice captain is even more important than at most clubs. This is where I feel a tinge of sorrow for Ramos, because the obvious choice for number 2 is Keane and he got flogged in the summer to some poxy northern outfit.

However all such sorrow rapidly evaporates when you see Ramos’ choice of number 2 – Jermaine Anus. I don’t think there are many sober pundits (therefore we exclude Merson from this debate) that would pick JJ as the captain type. You want someone of intelligence, that doesn’t shirk a tackle and one with a will to win. I could continue with the blurb – suffice to say Jenas is not a captain. The likes of Keane, Carragher, Terry, Viera, Hyypia, GNeville et al all possess something JJ doesn’t – balls!

Sort out the captain first, arrange the defence next and then worry about scoring goals after that…

Any team who has a Jenas, Jamie Redknapp, Kieron Dyer type captain will struggle to do anything.

You've probably hit the nail on the head there AFU, Spurs have always had quality players but never had in recent times a Roy Keane type of player leading by example when the going gets tough and come to think of it Spurs are always considered a soft touch, thats no disrespect to them as I've always had a soft spot for Spurs but instead of spending vast amounts of money fo stylish players it would do them no harm to get a couple in who are willing to role their sleeves up as there not far off being a top side even though at the moment it wouldent look like it.

Alans back in training

Game might be soon for him,could be a Spurs Captain of the future

.Hes been fantastic from day one,I love scottish players in the team.

Hes got to pick Ledley and play Bentley in hes correct position in a 4-4-2 or else were doomed before we start.

Enjoyed reading your posts AFU,Slick and ODM

Exciting stuff. Bale sent off after making four monumental fuck ups in the space of 16 minutes, then Spurs come back with ten men and an offside flukey misshit shot

Come on SPURS!!!!!

**ONEDUNME** · #81 (**permalink**) 19-10-2008, 15:44

Spurs are playing better with ten men than they have been doing with 11 recently

Pity Jenas can't kick a football.

Yeah Spurs looked much better with 10 men.

After the pen and sending off they could have just let themselves take a hammering so fair play for making a game of it, i actually fancy them to win it now.

I think they have playd alright the last 3 games to be honest and have been very unfortunate. One win and I can see them flying up the table.

**ONEDUNME** · #83 (**permalink**) 19-10-2008, 16:15

2-1 Stoke

GaNgStA kEeKs · #84 (**permalink**) 19-10-2008, 16:22

Spoke too soon

Ramos definately the problem as whatever he has said at half time has ruined Spurs!

**ONEDUNME** · #85 (**permalink**) 19-10-2008, 16:35

and just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, the keeper knocks out Corluka and on comes Dawson.

Oh dear. Alltogether now...

Sacked in the morning....you're getting sacked in the morning

Another woeful wasted ball in from Jenas. He really is fucking garbage.

and another.

They'd be better taking the cunt off and playing with nine men.

**ONEDUNME** · #89 (**permalink**) 19-10-2008, 17:03

Red card Dawson.

I don't even have to comment on that clown. Andy Gray says he was unlucky. Bollocks. He's just a useless clumsy cunt.

Everytime Dawson does something wrong in a game my first thoughts are you ODM haha

I agree about Jenas too. Him being captain shows everything that is wrong with Spurs right now IMO.

He is a fucking awful player with nothing to his game at all bar maybe some pace.
