Excellent stuff City, softening them up for the Reds next week.
Meanwhile, it seems Martin Jol has made the mistake of doing an interview after smoking a few too many joints on a visit back home to Amsterdam.
Martin Jol said:
Martin Jol is confident his record at Tottenham can stand favourable comparison with Rafa Benitez's at Liverpool.
The two sides clash at Anfield on Saturday afternoon, with both clubs currently in the top four in The Premiership.
Both managers are in their second seasons in charge of their respective sides, but Jol feels he has performed a better job.
Though Benitez guided The Reds to UEFA Champions League glory last term, Jol believes more progress has been made by Tottenham.
"We've done better than Liverpool if you compare the progress at the two clubs," insisted Jol.
"Liverpool were still in the top four or five before Benitez arrived and we weren't, so it's a much different job.
"But we are already where we want to be, we needed a year and we are in the top four now."
Jol also noted the difference in transfer policy between himself and his Spanish counterpart on Merseyside.
The Dutchman added: "We work in different ways.
"They have signed older players, we have brought in a lot of young players and most of them have done well, along with two or three experienced players."

I didn't include people who are no longer at the club, or the vast majority of Rafa's junior signings who aren't likely to get a game in the first team for a good few years.
