Martin Jol has finally been sacked by Tottenham after a prolonged display of directorial brilliance unsurpassed since the glory days of Risdale and Leeds United.


In the UEFA Cup last night Everton beat Larissa, Spurs lost to Getafe, and Bolton drew with Braga.

Rafa Benitez has been given a vote of confidence by Liverpool's co-owner Tom Hicks, "I totally support Rafa. Nobody wants to win more than Rafa. He's the right manager. Rafa's rotation has been his policy for three years. His ability to coach and manage in the Champions League should be unquestioned. But we should win the next two at home; then we have what is obviously a vital game against Marseilles. But you don't give Rafa guidance — no one wants to win more than him."

Do you think he could have said 'Rafa' a few more times?
