Juande Ramos; good or bad for Tottenham?

I've been listening to 606 and a lot of Tottenham fans don't seem to be to happy with Juande Ramos being chosen as Martin Jol's replacement.

My question is this is he a good choice for Tottenham?

I think he is a great choice for Tottenham.

A lot of Spurs fans are disappointed that Jurgen Klinsman was not chosen as manager, but i think Junade Ramos is a better manager than Klinsman.

I'm not taking anything away from Klinsman, he is a good manager, but you can also argue that he didn't have to qualify Germany for The 2006 World Cup and that squad was just filled with talent, but Klinsman is not proven at club level and managing a club team and a national team is not the same its much harder to manage a club team, it takes more time and effort.

Juande Ramos is the type of manager that motivates players, he gets the best out of them, he can mold young talent, he is the type of manager that players respect, i know this because he did it with my spanish team Sevilla.

Give him two weeks in charge of Spurs and you will see a difference, don't expect them to win the title or finish 5th but do expect an improvement.

So in my opinion Ramos is a great choice for Tottenham and i am still devastated that he has left Sevilla.

So c'mon Spurs fans, give him a chance he is quality.

Football Depression

Almost every year i go through a footballing depression, this year it started a lot earlier.
___________________________________________________
Juande Ramos has left Sevilla, and has signed a four-year contract with Tottenham. Kill me now.

I don't know if you all know this but I'm a Sevilla fan. Don't get me wrong, Liverpool is my number 1 team, i bleed Liverpool red and no matter who they play i always support them, but my second team is Sevilla.

I have nothing but respect for Juande Ramos, i think he is one of the better managers out there, i think he has character and i think give him two weeks and you will see the change in Spurs. I am devastated that he has left Sevilla.Juande Ramos is now at Spurs, Liverpool lost in the Champions League and don't look like the will qualify, Liverpool drew with Arsenal in a game the deserved to win, and i think our season is over.

I think our season is over (Liverpool) because, Manchester United are just killing it in the premiership, Arsenal have a very good team with a great start to the season, Chelsea are starting to get back on track with a 5-0 win over Manchester City who i thought would get a win or even a draw against Chelsea.

And i have the feeling that something big is going on behind closed doors at Anfield, i think that Benitez is the wrong manager for us, i don't think that a lot of the players are very fond of him and that's because he has very little contact with the players, Pako Ayesteran (assistant manager) was the one who had contact with the players and i think a lot of the players are very upset that he is gone.

When I listen to Steven Gerrard talk about Rafa Benitez i can just tell that he is not too fond of him, i think that at the end of the season Rafa will go because it will come down to Benitez or Gerrard and the fans would never forgive Gillette and Hicks if Gerrard goes.

I'm depressed because after we lost the Champions League, we went out and fixed what caused us to lose the Champions League. We have a good team, we had a good start to the season and then the fucking rotation system began again and Pako Ayesteran left and its been down hill from there.

I don't understand why the job is not being done, i love Liverpool, i will always love Liverpool but they are breaking my heart.

Sevilla were also not doing too well, but i understand it, Antonio Puerta died, a good player for the team, a home grown player and a Sevilla boy at heart, the team started to struggle because of an emotional breakdown and, i understand their slump. There was also the whole Daniel Alves thing, him wanting to leave Sevilla in the summer and not being able to and not playing in the Champions League with Sevilla.

Sevilla are starting to do better, but i don't know what will happen now that Juande Ramos has left.

Jurgen Klinsman to Spurs?

The Guardian Unlimited is reporting that Jurgen Klinsman is ready to take the job of Martin Jol at White Heart Lane.
Would he be good at Tottenham? a lot of people think he is fantastic and others think he didn't do much with Germany, he had a great squad, they were at home and didn't have to qualify.
What do you guys think? is he a good manager?
Its a good article, go check it out.

Paul Rubbish Robinson

I don't get it, i really don't get it. How is that the Paul Robinson has not been dropped from Spurs? and even worse how is it that he can be England's number 1?

What does this man have to do to get dropped from the England NT?

Someone please tell me!! Are Steve McClaren and Martin Jol blind? No I'm serious are they blind?, because you would have to be blind to think that Paul Robinson is the best English goalkeeper.

If you go back and look at my picks for the season (http://allaboutthebeautifulgame.blogspot.com/2007/08/epl-table-predictions.html) I had Arsenal dropping into 5th and Tottenham breaking into the top 4, its obvious that i was completely wrong, seeing as Arsenal look unbeatable and are first in the league and Tottenham are in 17th place and looking pathetic.

And in my opinion a lot of Tottenham's screw-ups this season has been because of Paul Robinson.

How important is a goalkeeper to a team? In my opinion extremely.

I don't care about Women's football, don't get me wrong i think that women can do anything men can do, but i just don't care for or enjoy women's football.

But this is a good example so I'll use it.

Look what happened in the Women's World Cup, Greg Ryan benched Hope Solo and played Briana Scurry and what happened? the US loses against Brazil 3-0 and essentially it was Scurry's fault.

The back four have to have confidence in the goalkeeper they have to think that if they make a mistake the goalkeeper will be able to clean it up.

But Paul Robinson is just utter rubbish, he is, there is a difference between making a mistake, i get it he's human, but c'mon the guy is a walking disaster, the mistakes he makes are simply ridiculous, he lets in goals that my seven year old cousin could stop.

The fact that Robert Green was not even chosen is just shocking to me, and in my opinion Scott Carson should start.

Steve McClaren you are an IDIOT not only is Paul Robinson crap for Tottenham but he is also crap for England, I don't see why you would pick him.

Please tell me that i'm not crazy and that you all also see the Paul Robinson is rubbish.

Whats going on with Tottenham? and Transfer Market

Tottenham, Tottenham, Tottenham...

Wil Jol go?

Is Juan Román Riquelme on his way to White Heart Lane?

Will Aaron Lennon ever be fit?

Will Juande Ramos take Martin Jol´s job

______________________________________________

Everything is going on with Spurs since the Prem started!

They Won 1, Drew 0, Lost 2 and they have 3 points

I know its the start of the season but to win the title you have to start the season good and i know they won 4-0 against Derby... it was against DERBY not Man U, not Arsenal, not Chelsea, Not Liverpool but DERBY! i don´t think that beating DERBY 4-0 has saved Martin Jol´s job.

Will Junade Ramos replace Martin Jol?

Let me tell you something Juande Ramos is a fine fine coach, i would even want him at Liverpool

he has done an amazing job at Seville.

Junade Ramos would be the man to take Tottenham to the top 4 and the champions league, but why would he leave Seville? they are in the Champions League and they finished they league 3rd.

Is it even right to sack Jol after 3 games?

The sun is reporting that Spurs have rejected an offer from Fabio Capello to coach Spurs i say LIES! If Capello wanted that job he would have it.

UPDATE- Juande Ramos denies Spurs talk.

There have also been rumors that Juan Roman Riquelme might be on his way to White Heart Lane, he is a fine player and would do great player at Spurs.

-Real Madrid have signed Arjen Robben and Gabriel Heinze. I think Heinze is a good signing, Robben is always injured.

To be honest Madrid paid too much for Robben.

Robben is bashing Jose Mourinho saying that Mourinho never gave him a real chance to play at Chelsea.

Robben shut the fuck up! you are always injured, how was Jose supposed to let you play? what an Idiot.

Tottenham is at it again! and so is Steve McClaren

Sorry its taken my so long to post, I've just been a bit busy.

Tottenham are at it again, losing to Everton 1:3.

So far many of my predictions have been wrong! I think that many of us saw this year as Tottenham's chance to make it in the top 4 and we saw Arsenal slipping, now i see Arsenal sharp and Spurs slipping, Its the same every year with Spurs they make you think they will do it, they have the squad and many will argue that they have the manager but they never get the job done.

I think this is it, Tottenham Hotspur will not break into the top 4 and the will probably finish lower than last season, I say this because they have lost 2 games and they still have to play Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Man United and on top of that Everton are playing pretty good, Its not looking good for Spurs.

I've been saying this and i will say this again PAUL ROBINSON HAS TO GO!

And it might be time for Martin Jol to go too.

Martin Jol to win the sack race.

-Middlesbrough sign Mido from Tottenham.

___________________________________________

My beloved Reds have beat Toulouse 1:0 in the Champions League group stages by a goal by Andriy Veronin, whom i think will turn out to be a fine striker for us.

-Jamie Carragher has declined Steve McClaren's invite to go back and play with the England NT. And i have to say i completely agree with Carragher, i don't think its about his ego, i think its about having the best player for that spot and Carragher who next to Terry is the best English centre back has been disrespected. Playing him out of position and playing Ledley King and Wes Brown instead, Ledley King? He barley plays for Spurs! he's always injured!.

-I'm Very worried about Peter Crouch possibly leaving, there are many rumors that many clubs are interested in him. I think that I and most Liverpool fans just love Crouchy, he is a game changing player and i am very worried that we will lose him for lack of playing time. RAFA I BEG YOU PLEASE DON'T LET CROUCH GO.

Dear Steve McClaren,

Stop smiling. Thanks to your stupidity England probably wont make it to Euro 2008. How blind are you? how is it possible that from the states we can see that Gerrard and Lampard can't play in the same midfield, you can't see that? Have you EVER heard of Kevin Nolan and Matty Taylor? Do you know that there is a difference between Full back and a Centre back? And that Jamie Carragher is a Centre back and not a Full back? Are you also aware that Ledley King barley plays for Spurs due to the fact that he is always injured? How could you have selected Micheal Owen to start for England after he just came back from a season long injury and didn't even play 90 minutes with Newcastle? Do you honestly think that David Beckham is fit to play against Germany, even though he hasn't been able to play for the Galaxy and has a nagging ankle injury? I'm actually really starting to believe that you are blind because you can't see the ridiculous mistakes that Paul Robinson not only makes for Spurs but also for England. I wonder when the FA who are also blind will open their eyes and see what a mistake you are.

I you want to keep your job open your EYES! let David Bentley and Micah Richards play, look at Kevin Nolan, Matty Taylor, Scott Carson, Ben Foster and if you want Walcott to play, wait until he plays with Arsenal for a while.I'm sure that I've missed much more, but thats all for now.

Natz.
