Spurs fans must shake their heads and wonder what on earth their club’s management were up to when they chose to fire likeable Dutchman Martin Jol, and they get another chance to see what they’re missing tonight as Jol leads his Hamburg side into a UEFA Cup Quarter Final first leg against Manchester City.
The German outfit sit joint top of the Bundesliga with a cracking home record, and Saturday’s 1-0 home win against fellow title challengers Hoffenheim sees them approaching this match in great heart, despite some injury problems that need to be overcome.
Standing in their way are a jekyll & hyde City side who offered nothing against Arsenal last weekend, and may have to contend with the sight of skipper Richard Dunne wolfing down a morale boosting stein of lager and a bratwurst at half time.
Back Hamburg to establish a first leg lead at evens with any of Bet365, Boylesports, Paddy Power or William Hill.
