Good morning.
There is rather interesting website that goes by the name of MyFootballFacts.com and Paul, the chap what owns and writes it is a Tottingham fan of some considerable standing. If you want to go missing for a while and enjoy yourself while your gone, give him a click.
I’m easily distracted and hadn’t looked at the site for some time but whilst taking a peek at Spurs Community I clocked a thread that had highlighted an interesting ‘milestone’ that had been originally highlighted on Paul’s site.
Big Martin Jol and our Arry have now been in charge for precisely the same quantity of Premier League games.

Now of course anyone can argue that all these numbers may be correct and in proper order but at the end of the day you’re not comparing like with like. The players were different, the fixtures were in a different order against teams fielding different players …yadda yadda ya.
But that doesn’t stop the figureseing of interest…
Cant really make any other points to add to those made. A big thumbs up for him. Yes he did have a few tactical shortcomings but so does every other manager. Even so, he was nearly the one!
Just a thought.Would anyone have him back?
could do worse i guess,never say never in football
Without CL, probably. With CL…hard to say with zero experience. Hopefully he’ll get his chance one day.
Yeah all well and good …but you can prove anything with facts.
We have gone from a chubby Popeye to Schnorbitz – great!
schnorbitz,haha takes you back to some other time
@DAVSPURS – from what I can see of Ledders’ league appearances he made 85 in three seasons 2004/5, 05/6, 06/7 when Jol was in charge (apart from Snatinis half a dozen matches), 4 appearances 07/8 under predmonantly Wendy, and has made 50 appearances 08/09, 09/10, 10/11 – which is all but Arry’s watch. He made 3 appearances in our 12 game CL adventure. Therefore I’d say Arry has had less of Ledders than BMJ.
Recognising BMJ as a bit of a star ( cos he was) can we also give some credit to Arry – he has done a comparatively very good job in spite of his big gob.
