8? He starts 6 usually if you include our wingers.... It's exciting to watch...and usually works out well. You'd rather MP2?
And we needed the win, and his shirt had the right badge, and it was against Arsenal..........I probably could go on........
It was a great strike by Wanyama, but did anyone notice Oxlade Chamberlain day dreaming and not responding to the loose ball until too late? Hope he is that slow on Sunday.
Yeah both him and Can were useless during that phase of play. Of course resident Liverpool scape goat Karius got the blame for a "crap punch". Didn't think it was that bad to clear the ball out to where 2 of your players both had an opportunity to get to the ball and the ball ends up about 25 yards from goal. In Chamberlains defence maybe he just wasn't that bothered about letting Wanyama strike the ball from there as 999 times out of 1000 that ends up anywhere but the back of the net.
So Harry Kane felt contact & so went down. So, he felt the contact, so that gave him the right to go to ground. Is that what he is saying, because that sounds like deceiving the ref to me. Now, I'm not even wanting him to get a call from the powers that be, I quite like the guy, and he'd probably miss the Palace & Udders game anyway, but they need to be very careful with what they do now. Is it okay to feel contact & to go down? Shearer said it was, but I'm still not sure.
He is talking crap anyway. He felt FOR contact and went down. He deliberately trailed a leg and went over. Dress it up you like, darling child of English football, you and Dele are both cheats.
This is exactly right. If a keeper goes for the ball and a player can’t jump over an outstretched arm without crashing to the ground, he obviously isn’t a superbly fit, professional athlete but a cheating scumbag.
Have to disagree sorry. I hate spurs with a passion but both were stone wall penalties. Why should Kane have to jump out of the way of a trailing arm that's missed the ball and made Contact with him? It's not his error is it it's the goalkeepers, so he goes down and wins a penalty like any good striker would. As for the VVD tackle , mistimed kick and chopped into lamela. How anyone can argue these 2 incidents weren't penalties is beyond me.
Harry said; 'He felt contact, so he went down.' That's why I wrote what I did. So Harry Kane felt contact & so went down. So, he felt the contact, so that gave him the right to go to ground.

Big changes are coming. Also, how far down should it go? Conference? There could be a TV HQ somewhere doing all of them. Just a matter of time till some bright spark gets an interval ad break. There's money there, they will do it.
If you stay on your feet you don't get a penalty though , so players can't really win either way. Alli litrally dives though sticking the leg into players , Kane was just using it to his advantage , I'm not classing it as a dive.
I think in some cases people forget the effect of speed. In slo-mo it can look like a small push/kick/shove, but can unbalance someone running at speed.....remember when running both feet can be off the ground for a short period of time.
So Kane was actually touched, was he? I thought the keeper had pulled his arm away and that Kane had dived.
He was also offside, as it appeared that Lovren didn’t touch the ball. Jon Moss said to his assistant, after being told the choices, “I’ve no idea whether he was offside, I’m going to award the penalty.” Isn’t it great that games are under the control of such clear-sighted officials!
He was asking his assistant for help...which he couldn't give, so without any proof that Kane was offside he awarded the penalty. Seems reasonable to me. The same as the ref in rugby asking the video assistant if there is any reason not to award a try.
