Was speaking to a Millwall fan yesterday about harry Kane and they loved him. The one thing they were concerned about was when teams were known for kicking as Kane was to slow to get out of the way. Could be the reason not to start against Stoke.

Bale and paulinho have both suffered in recent years

Ref's fault for booking Vertonghen. He (ref) lost control of the game from that moment on.

There was certainly a minor maul and the charge is fair enough.
Showed team spirit but not something I like to see at Spurs.
Mason pushed Benteke over the edge and the lads piled in when he retaliated.
Handbags really.
What's the usual penalty for this kind of thing?

Just looked it up: £20,000 for each team.

That Weimann was well out of control... only thing I disapproved of from our lot was the card waving shit.

Bentake was already barging and lashing when Mason retaliated.

It was the only thing that actually livened up a pretty dull match and created the dramatic end. Not saying what the players did was good but the EPL is falling behind a lot of leagues and the only thing it has left is a bit of passion. However, the way clubs treat fans, the 39th game and the lack of home grown talent in this country is rapidly removing that passion. Now you get a £20k fine for what - handbags.

We don't have a 39th Game and Fifa or UEFA have pretty much said its not going to allow it. Axe to grind much?

Well, this issue is re: the FA, so I dont so why you'd bring up the 39th game in relation to it if you knew they had nothing to do with it...
I didn't bring up the FA - read the post!!! I said the EPL was losing it's passion and the handbags created a bit of passion in a dull match - I MENTIONED THE EPL - NOT THE FA ;)
