Spurs can't defend manager

Tottenham continued their dreadful start to the season last night with a 3-1 defeat up at Newcastle.

It's been the same story for a while now, Spurs can't defend, one clean sheet all season is not going to get you into Europe. Last night was no different, Michael Dawson being the main offender as he was responsible for Newcastle's first two goals.

There's no doubt that they have the talent up front, any team in the league would take their attack. But the fact is they have conceded on average over two goals a game, meaning they need to score two just to get a point.
Only Derby have conceded more goals, and only by one goal, and don't forget they lost 5-0 to Arsenal and 6-0 to Liverpool.

I'm a West Ham fan, so seeing the demise of Spurs isn't exactly upsetting me, in fact it's put a bounce in my step. Martin Jol is surely about to be thrown into the Exhange and Mart of football managers, and whoever comes in needs to spend wisely in January.

NO MORE STRIKERS! It's simple, spending £16m on Bent (more than Henry don't forget)when you already have Defoe, Berbatov and Keane is confused to say the least.

Sadly I don't think Spurs will be in this position come May, the Hammers of 2003 were the best team to get relegated and that's not going to change this season. They could easily still finish in the top ten and I fancy they will.
