Ramos must leave, and fast…
Some might argue that Juande Ramos is brave and loyal for standing his ground and refusing to leave Spurs. Others may allude to a Christmas spent on the streets, dejectedly wearing a Santa outfit (1:40 into this clip) like Dan Ackroyd in Trading Places. The Spoiler, however, chooses to ignore both of those loud clamouring voices and simply sticks to the facts. We’ve already prophesised a doom-laden end to 2008, and it doesn’t look like improving. As a gentle reminder, here’s why the rest of the matches from now until Santa’s next installment will be seriously disappointing for Spurs fans.
It’s at this point that we’d love to say something about dreaming of a white Christmas. But won’t. Because it would be too mean.
