The Premiership: Ramos has the full confidence of the Board.. oh dear

Ever since Juande Ramos took charge of Tottenham Hotspurs, I'm sure that all Newspaper reporters have been ready to run the imaginatively titled story, "Vamos to Ramos!". They are all ready with it, ready to go, it must be like having an itchy trigger-finger.

Now that Juande Ramos has been given the vote of confidence by the Tottenham board, the Reporters' trigger-fingers must be itching like crazy. The Vote of Confidence often means the complete reverse and is usually a polite prerequisite to total doom.

The Chairman, Daniel Levy has said he intends to give Ramos every chance to make a success of his spell in north London. He failed to mention however, if this had anything to do with Football.

Football Premiership - Spurs defeated... yet again !

I am really running out of titles to call these Tottenham Hotspurs Blogs. Tottenham Lose, Spurs defeated, The Woe Continues, Tottenham still without a win.. etc etc

After the opening 7 games without a win, I was wondering how it could possibly get any worse. And now I know.

It was playing Stoke City, the next team up in the table, getting two players sent off and losing 2-1. Now with Spurs, no awful result surprises me.

This was the chance to turn things around. Newly promoted Stoke City are hardly World beaters. All was going well until the 17th minute. Tottenham conceded a Penalty, Defender Bale was sent off and Stoke's Higginbotham converted the chance.

1-0. Now Spurs were really up against it.

Arguably offside, a glimmer of hope was offered by Bent who managed to equalize and for a while Tottenham had most of the play despite being a man short. But... to continue the abysmal theme of the season, City scored again in the Second Half and Tottenham Hotspurs never came back. Stoke could have arguably scored another, missing a second Penalty awarded.

Dawson was the second Spurs player given the red card deep into injury time to round off yet another thoroughly miserable afternoon.

City fans joyfully chanted, "You're getting sacked in the Morning!". I don't think this was aimed at their own Manager somehow. Juande Ramos must go now surely. Eight games, two points and NO wins.
