Martin Jol admits he is still smarting about Tottenham's defeat to Ars*nal in the Carling Cup and feels the players need to secure victory over The Gunners on Saturday to hand the fans something to take from the season.
Spurs made progress in all three cup competitions, but bowed out to Chelsea in the FA Cup, Sevilla in the Uefa Cup and Ars*nal in the Carling Cup.
Jol's charges led 2-0 during the first leg of their semi-final, before succumbing to Arsene Wenger's young guns.
Tottenham are off the pace in the Premiership, but still in the hunt to secure a spot in Europe and Jol feels victory over their neighbours is of paramount importance.
"We want to do well in that one - we feel we owe that much to the supporters," said Jol.
"If I think back to the last game against them here in the Carling Cup when we led 2-0 - it still hurts."
First half was great i couldnt agree more.
Second half we looked like a championship team and we were really lucky to escape with a point.
Some scummy fan in the pub had 60 pound on an Ars*nal win, his face was a picture when we scored :yucky_:
Dont know where the 4 minutes came from tho lol
I was at the game to day and saw some of the worst managerial decisions i have ever seen. We played relatively well in the first half but the second half was a different story. You would of thought martin jol would of learnt his lesson by now about sitting back E.G. Carling cup semi final first leg 2 0 up at half time, come out second half and sit back- final score 2 2. FA cup quarter final 3 1 up at half time come out second half and sit back- final score 3 3 Today come out second half and sit back on a 1 goal lead for some unknown reason yet again we cock it up, we were so lucky to get a draw, we did not deserve it at all. A few more of martin jols great work today..........taking lennon off and putting Huddlestone on and this was at 2 1 down, y take our best attacking option off and put a defensive midfielder on, also y was jenas not taken off at half time he was absolutely awfull today the worst i have seen him although he scored the goal he contributes nothin to the team and he is lazy. Berbatov was trying to do everything himself today because he knew he had no support, he is getting more and more frustrated i will be very surprised if we hold onto him in the summer.
Im starting to get concerned about Martin Jol, when has he ever made a game changing sub, y bring defoe on with 8 mins left. Sort it out martin

I thought exactly the same. He dived against us back at the Immigraints to get the penalty. Ironic that it was against Jenas, again. :rolleyesj:
Both free kicks were pretty soft imo. There were alot of worse fouls through out the game where the ref played on.
And i dunno if it's been mentioned, but it didn't half piss me off when what ever his name is pushed the lino in the back, then they had a little joke about it.:fyou:
