Goodnight, Mr. Ramos

Look, I know Colin and Eric are both Tottenham fans. I know you guys both love the Juande Ramos. But, at the end of the day, Cups will always fall short of the Premiership. Would Rafa Benitez ever have been within thirty miles of the hot seat if this wasn't true? Even though year in, year out, Liverpool competes strongly in the Champions League, being a semifinalist 3 out of the last 4 years, finalist 2 out of the last four and of course winning it in 2005, because of our continual fourth place finishes and reprehensible record against Manchester United, not everyone was sold on him. Ramos did an amazing job winning the Carling Cup last year, and I read probably forty-five articles talking about how England wouldn't miss a big-game manager like Jose Mourinho because it now had Ramos and how Chelsea now wishes they had Ramos and not Grant and that Ramos is the true successor to Mourinho et cetera. Basically...everyone loves this guy because he played well against Chelsea last year (who could forget that amazing 4-4 draw?) And it looks like he has kept the gift, as one of his two points in the Premiership has been a Chelsea draw. Lets just look at what he's accomplished this year in the Prem:
Middlesborough 2 1 Tottenham
Tottenham 1 2 Sunderland
Chelsea 1 1 Tottenham
Tottenham 1 2 Aston Villa
Tottenham 0 0 Wigan Athletic
Portsmouth 2 0 Tottenham
Tottenham 0 1 HULL CITY

Ok, so, that's rather underwhelming. The only result anyone Tottenham fan would be happy with is obviously the away draw with Chelsea. But otherwise, they've lost to the recently promoted Hull City (at home), to a struggling and patchwork Portsmouth club, a Sunderland team with far less cash or talent (and then drew the equivalent with Wigan) and those were both at home. The loss to Villa is understandable, Villa are a very good team. But you see what I'm getting at. Sure he's only seven games in, and I'd say you should give him fifteen, but only because he still hasn't lost a cup game. If Tottenham bombs out of UEFA or the Carling cup, the noose will tighten very quickly, and honestly, I can't see an angered White Hart Lane not calling for his head (even more) if they fail to get at least 3 points out of the upcoming matches with Stoke and Bolton. Because couple that with a (probable) demolition at the hands of Arsenal at the Emirates, and Ramos won't be allowed to walk down Harigney without a flak jacket on.
