OSG Prem: Tim Sherwood Still Doesn't Like Jorge Jesus

((HT: Press Association))

Spurs caretaker manager Tim Sherwood still has no respect for Benfica manager Jorge Jesus and his histrionics in the Benfica 3-1 opening round match at White Hart Lane...

For those who don't remember...


Round 2 is a few days out and Sherwood was still on fire about it:

"I know exactly where he was coming from and I know what I saw.

"I have got no respect for the man. I've got respect for the football club and I've got respect for his players.

"The club is a huge club and we've had a lot of emails from Benfica fans apologising for their manager's behaviour. At the end of the day, I will shake his hand, because they are a giant of a club."


Tottenham has plenty of injuiries and worries for Sherwood, but Jesus thinks everything in the first leg is done and done...

Here's Jesus...

((How's that for a toss...???))

Spurs Boss Not A Fan Of Benfica Boss

((HT: SkySports))

Benfica was better than Spurs in the first leg of their Europa League Round-of-16 match-up at White Hart Lane...

Not in dispute...

But what is up in conversation are the antics of Benfica manager Jorge Jesus during the match itself...
Like this exchange after the third Benfica goal...


Current Spurs caretaker manager Tim Sherwood was not happy post-match as he told Sky:

"I thought his team were very good and showed a lot of class - it's just a shame he didn't," Sherwood said.

"In the first two minutes, he was coming over to the fourth official saying I was stepping in his box.

"He doesn't mind himself, does he, to be fair? Waving goodbye like that [with three fingers]? It lacks class. Why would anyone do that?

"He's got a good side, of course he has, but, nah, not for me thank you. I have no intention of speaking to him."


Jesus, when asked said he was referring to his goal scorer Luisao- even if his player wears the number 4...

Sherwood may still have his locker room, if you believe what Sandro said this week, but he may only have it for another nine Premier League games or so...
