Martin Jol Seems A Tad Deluded

I’ll write thoughts on the match once I can wipe the shit that is covering my eyes from sitting through that 90 minutes of utter dross. But Jol’s recent press quotes are really starting to piss me off,

“I feel we have had a pretty good spell (three successive draws), the only thing we needed was more wins. A win today and we would have been fine,” Jol said.

“We lack a bit of leadership (in defence). Someone has to stand and pull the strings at the back. Hopefully Ledley King will be fit in a couple of weeks. He was not there and wasn’t there for the last seven months so we have to get results without him.”

About the pressure on him, Jol told Setanta Sports 1: “I’m already used to it, even before the season started.

“The only thing that counts is results. We’re still in a good position in the cups and hopefully, on Thursday (in the UEFA Cup) we can get a result.”

Three successive draws are not good results. Lacking leadership in defense is the club’s fault for only having 1 alleged leader in Ledley (although I think he’s just our best defender rather than a leader) and choosing to buy young talent rather than experienced winners.

And we are not still in a ‘good’ bloody position in the cups. Passing the first round counts as good now? Well yes, I suppose it does.
