There are far too many words to describe the way I feel about the match today against the Gooners. I can't even bring myself to type the score. Maybe it's time to give up football; all it does is bring heartache. But I know I can't - it's like a disease.
I'm forcing myself to watch Match of the Day right now, though Lord knows why I torture myself. Gareth Bale's free kick was superb I have to say - at least that's something to be positive about. He's only 18 and looks like a very good signing. However, I soon hang my head when Berbatov fluffs it up with only the goalkeeper to beat. What was he thinking? Just bloody shoot! If it had been 2-0, we may have stood a chance of winning. Robbo didn't deal with a cross (again) and so they equalised. Berba could've scored again which was blocked on the line. Spurs then get hit with a long range shot which of course goes in. Bent spurned a easy chance one on one with the goalie but wasn't composed. And then the Arse get another in the 94th minute. You do the math.
Fans who were, two weeks ago, totally behind Martin Jol, are now calling for him to go. But is it fair to blame him week after week? Surely the players have to take some of the blame? It's not like Spurs have a bad squad. They just can't keep a clean sheet and put the ball in the net...so it's back to basics then!
Maybe fortunes will change when we face an unknown Cypriot side in the UEFA Cup on Thursday, followed by an away tie at Bolton who are second bottom in the table and really struggling.
