To hear Harry Kane immediately come out and say that Alli has learned his lesson is as meaningless as it is premature. How can he say that so soon after the event after he has not even played another minute of competitive football. Actions peak louder than words. We all hope that he will learn his lesson but nobody can be sure that he has before his resolve is tested again.

His temperament will be put to the test on many occasions in the future and not too distant future I suspect and I suspect we might begin to have an idea as to how he reacts when it actually is put to the test again. I would say this to Harry Kane lets wait to see, we hope he has, he will need the support of his manager and his teammates, but only he will know deep down whether he will see red mist and overreact when he is provoked, only he has that degree of control or lack of it within his gift when he is put to the test again.

To be fair, much as I deeply love Harry he isn't the brightest spark is he.

Scored his 12th PL goal of the season this afternoon, going clear of Sergio Aguero and Sadio Mane (both 11) in the 2016/17 PL goalscoring tables, and is already ahead of his final tally last season (10). :love:

Plus he was hacked to bits several times by Stoke players who were clearly trying to wind him up and he handled it OK. This time.

Did what he needed to do today. Played well, was effective, kept his nerve and was understated without losing any edge.

He really was trying to get involved in the game a lot more today and also recently. I think the system really helps him.

I don't see the difference. Scholes, while being a much better player, hid behind the "couldn't tackle" thing for years, when in truth he could be a nasty little shit himself.
He got away with it because he was a baby-faced short arse, with a cheeky grin. That, and bacon-face owned the Prem...

I think Dale's goal scoring record flatters him. I believe some vastly overrate him.

I'd happily support selling him.

This is just pure attention seeking. You don't actually believe this.

Whether you get 'likes' or 'dislikes' it doesn't really matter, you just want to be noticed.

Whatever floats your boat.

Thought he played very well yesterday. He's a great in the making... when he's hitting his peak at 26 we'll be lucky we still have him.

Erm what......I was looking for your following post saying that you were joking........please tell me you are joking......!

If not, then sir you don't know what you are talking about and I am incredibly glad that you do not currently manage Spurs..!

Bizarre interview with Dele's parents being published in the Mirror today. Sounds like there's still real issues there - they're clearly not telling the whole story but saddening nonetheless :(

(I fully advise using an adblocker if you read the deny the shit-stirrers revenue).

Weird, very very weird.

I wonder what would make him block out his parents like that.

And who knew he was a prince lol.
As someone who knows his adoptive family, i can confirm that his natural parents are talking a load of bollocks here.
They know exactly why he won't deal with them and it's fully justified

Funny how these kind stories are published when their is a public backlash against a player, wouldn't surprise me if this was strategically published yesterday after the horror tackle in the week just so that it goes along with the ill feeling towards Alli in order to generate more clicks.
