Sorry Spurs plumb dark new depths

JUANDE RAMOS’ English language studies have proved slow going since his arrival in north London.

Presumably he has been resident long enough to have come across the word “sacked”. If not, it cannot be too much longer before the Spaniard becomes acquainted with it by his Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy.

His unveiling, as the replacement for Martin Jol, took place on Halloween last season and whether he is around long enough to make ornate carvings into more pumpkins and get ready for the trick or treat brigade is becoming more doubtful by the hour. Bolton at home next Sunday may well be his final chance before Spurs bid adios amigo.
