    PNP, the way you tweet about opposition players not being punished, whilst being reluctant to acknowledge that Spurs have also been the recipients of poor decisions in their favour, shows a lack of consistency.

    Even if you think the Kane incident was a penalty, and I've already explained to you on the Arsenal board why I don't think the issue is clear cut, Kane shouldn't have even been on the pitch to take the penalty in the first place.
    I completely disagree with the Lacazette penalty incident against United being a dive. It wasn't a penalty, but that doesn't mean it was a dive. Fred and Lacazette collided into each other when they were both going for the ball. It happens.
    Given that Pogba and Matic were allowed to repeatedly foul our players without even having a word said to them, let alone being booked, and Rashford somehow escaping a booking for completely mistiming a challenge on Xhaka, I don't really think it's reasonable for anyone to complain about us getting decisions in our favour. United were getting every decision up until that point. Swings and roundabouts.

    So I take it you won't be tagging the FA about Lacazettes dive then?

    No. Because it wasn't a dive, as I've explained in my post. Penalty shouldn't have been given, but it doesn't mean it was a dive.

    I literally acknowledged that Spurs were recipients of poor decisions in our favour in that comment, naming two in the last match! <laugh>
    I got one wrong though, apparently. Kane was onside, according to the VAR:

    Why shouldn't Kane have been on the pitch against you, though? You've lost me on that one.
    It was a penalty, though. The rule is extremely straightforward. Kane didn't play or attempt to play the ball before the foul. It's that simple.

    Lacazette and Aubameyang both dived. Ashley Young specials.

    Any girl over 11 shouldn't get bundled over by Fred.
    He's 5'7" and about 10 stone.

    If Kane was sent off for his attempted headbutt on Cesar Azpilicueta for violent conduct, he wouldn't have been eligible to play against us.

    PNP, I am tired of arguing with you on the penalty decision <laugh> You could be right, you could be wrong. I'm still not facking sure. To be honest, I can't be bothered with it anymore. At least we can agree that Mustafi is a stupid **** and that I cannot wait for him to be sold in the Summer. Utterly brainless footballer.

    Don't agree with last comment as I've already explained. But no point arguing about it. It's just going to end up like:
    "I think Lacazette dived"
    "I disagree"
    "I think you're wrong"
    "Well, I think you're wrong too".

    I'm not sure what you're laughing about? It was a red card offence. Had he been red carded like he should have been, instead of the ref bottling the decision to send off England's golden boy, he wouldn't have faced us. It's that simple.

    Mark "I wanted Tottenham to lose the game themselves" Clattenburg? Yeah, I think I'll pass on that one.
    Finding a decision so blatant that even he has to side with us isn't equivalent to agreeing with him about anything else.

    Can't read the Halsey one, but he also thought that Kane was offside, despite his own ex-boss explicitly pointing out why he was wrong.
    It's never a headbutt. Sissoko's was. That wasn't. Even Ian Wright agrees:

    "Maybe because it's Harry Kane people want that to happen?" Maybe, Ian. Maybe.

    Lacazette felt a slight graze of his thigh and then fell to the ground, purposely falling over under minimal contact when you can easily stay on your feet is a dive in my book. Aubameyang did the exact same in the NLD, though justice was done in that match.

    Tottenham’s players fear Harry Kane has decided it’s time to quit the club in search of trophies elsewhere, according to the Daily Telegraph.

    The newspaper claim the Spurs dressing room has major doubts over the future of the 25-year-old after failing failing to win a medal during his half-decade of prodigious goal scoring.

    The Telegraph report Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy values Kane at around £200million after he signed a new six-year contract last year.

    OPINION

    Given Spurs tied Kane down to a contract last year that runs until 2024, they are sitting pretty, right? The poster boy of English football is the best paid player in the club’s history and is in a team that is third in the Premier League and in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. He has also had another enormously productive season, taking his personal haul to 24 this campaign with his second of the week in last weekend’s defeat to Southampton. Yet, it can’t be ignored that one thing is glaringly absent for Kane and the other Spurs players moulded into such an eyecatchingly impressive side by Mauricio Pochettino: trophies. Spurs will extend their trophy drought to 11 years if they fail to win the Champions League on 1 June, which is possible but is still a massively tall order. Only Kane himself will know how frustrated he is, but there were reports a fortnight ago he was fuming behind the scenes after the defeat to Chelsea ended the club’s title hopes.





    Eriksen ought to be fuming about new Son contractTottenham's Christian Eriksen ought to be fuming over a report on one of his teammates.Thisisfutbol
