When his side took the lead in Saturday's North London derby the Dutchman must have felt the tide was turning in his favour, only for a stunning Arsenal fight back to leave him contemplating the consequences of a 3-1 defeat.

Under pressure: But Martin Jol is confident he will keep his job

Speculation over Jol's position in the capital has been rife since the start of the season, with Spurs' miserable form manifesting talk of a swoop for highly-rated Sevilla incumbent Juande Ramos.

And, in light of recent results, rumours of a similar nature are beginning to resurface, with the latest reports suggesting Jol has been handed six games to prove he still the man to take the club forward.

Daniel Levy, Tottenham's chairman, has backed his manager publicly but whether Jol still has the full support of the club's board remains subject to conjecture.

Jol, though, is adamant that he is the man to help break the top four's monopoly of the UEFA Champions League places, and after Saturday's game, he hit out at those who continue to undermine his position.

"I'm not hurting inside," said Jol. "I will try to get the results and as long as the players show me the commitment they showed me again, there is no problem.

"People said in 2005 I was going to be out of a job but I am still here.

"So I think I will be here in six weeks. I feel there are two worlds here in London.

"There are you guys (journalists) and then there are the supporters who read your papers.

"It's amazing, no?

"Although they read your papers, they're still backing me. That's a great feeling.

"I don't think the board is a problem. I tell them all the time what's wrong. We speak about players and talk about the team."
