Afternoon all, a honest question this time, im wondering how high/low you lot regard Martin Jol.
From the outside i thought he worked complete wonders for you, when he turned up you were lingering around mid table and going no where, from what i see he turned up in 2004 and 2 years later was incredibly unlucky not to get you in the CL, improved your side and imo his contibution is what made you a top 6/4 side that you still are today.
Am i right in what i just said? was asking you guys as for obvious reason's you know much more about your club than i do
Martin Jol

Spurcat :
I joined for the N days that ja606 went down.
I occasionally posted on there mainly to debate the NPD stuff.
I don't like the format (KISS is my motto) .
I don't go there hardly, so I cannot pass comment on the overall quality of the articles. Neither do I know whether the mod schemes there prevents the antics that riddled BBC 606, and is still here to a lesser extent.
As you said, there are sufficient of the old tribe there to be friends with, if you so choose.

Spurcat, there isnt as much banter about on the boards, it seems a lot more sensible for debate, however threads dont really seem to be as mentally stimulating in the fact that its pretty much a spurs only board so there is no good debates with other fans. Also there is nowhere near as much posters

edinspur -
why don't you write "is nay" instead of "isn't" ?
is "is nay" dying out ?
i remember a time when if a supposedly scottish character on the tv said "isn't" i would leap up and exclaim that it was a charade.
i fear that those days may now be behind us.

i wasnt taking the mickey out of scottish accents there by the way.
i actually think that many scottish accents are particularly melodic.
especially mild ones

I'd strongly recommend Not606 if you want somewhere that's much more reasoned and intelligent. Not as much posting or posters as here but for some that might be just what they're after - seems to be much less "banter" and wummery. It's just straightforward, fairly informed debate about Spurs and football in general.
Course, that might not be your thing which is fair enough.

I logged onto not606 before this forum was created & i instanstly disliked it.
The only other forum i used after BBC was 12yards (when JA went down for a couple of weeks), that was okay, but i was pleased when JA found its feet again.
I'll never use not606 whilst JA is still up & running.
Plus, you dont have the or smiley anywhere else.
