    Don't joke, several of our Reddit/Twitter fans are clamouring for him

    Bloody hell we gave up on Vinicius quickly, didn't we?

    Lots of discussion about Kane diving as usual, but as previously it's been discussed against an incident that did result in a penalty against his "dive" which didn't. It does seem to be the case that most (all?) of the complaints about Kane's dives regard incidents which resulted in no gain to us at all - just look at the number of penalties we get compared to certain teams. Other people do the same thing and get penalties. So why does Kane now (and Bale in the past) get singled out for behaviour that doesn't even benefit us?

    As for Cavani, yes he should have received retrospective punishment. However, should he have been playing at all? Didn't he put something unsavory on social media recently that was much talked about when it happened then immediately dropped by the media? The sort of thing that might get players from other clubs suspended? It was mentioned so little after the event that I can't even remember what it was, hopefully one of you will do.

    Given that this season :

    1. may resemble 2012 and 2013 as far as the fight for the PL top 4 goes
    2. Spurs have yet to visit the Library

    you may come to rue those words.

    Cavani used the word 'negrito' to refer to a friend on social media and he's been charged with misconduct by the FA.
    He has until January 4th to respond and faces a 3 match ban, as there's no malicious intent, unlike the Suarez 8 match ban.

    No when they mention Salah it's, he dived, he's cheated the ref there, he went down too easily.

    When it's Kane it's always, clever play, trying to buy a foul, he was touched so has the right to go down.

    Am I Lying tho<laugh>

    Yes. Really blatantly.

    Your games always, without fail, have an ex-Scouser bleating away as co-commentator.
    Our league games generally have someone who used to play for a team that hates us, like the Scum, the other Scum or the other one.
    We all know what happens when your lot don't toe the line, so they never criticise your supposed (an ex) Saints.

    No, no I'm really not, I could pull a thousand clips/articles of Kane diving and the English media lapping it up like butter wouldn't melt cos he's England's main man up top.

    You've went off on about some other **** cos you know I'm bang on and don't wanna admit your golden boy is as sneaky as the rest but gets treated differently cos as I said he's Engerlands golden boy.

    Wouldnt disagree tbh.

    Goes with what I said about the media and how they speak of thier own when it comes to the dark arts as opposed to how they speak of the foreign players.

    Dunno what your point is, I've never claimed Salah doesn't dive tbh.


    Just never seen a spurs fan say the same about Kane is all.

    Wierd cos everyone else in football sees it.

    You can't expect pens from pathetic dives ala the one Kane done v wolves tbh.

    Wasn't even nearly convincing, shouldve been booked tbh
