Tottenham Hotspur have taken the unprecedented step of appealing a 'dubious goal panel' ruling, and will write to the Premier League in a bid to have Harry Kane awarded their winner at Stoke and help his golden boot challenge.

Hmm. If this was another club I’d be ripping the piss out of them about how small time it is. It’s a team game, Harry, but whatever you need I guess. If a golden boot is a good enough trophy to keep him, guess we should push for it

Not sure what I think of this. I understand his frustration knowing that it is indeed his goal, especially when chasing the golden boot.

But it does still seem somewhat...I don't know...desperate?

I'm pretty sure that's how the Scouse will view it.

Not really that small time conisidering it really did hit him on the shoulder, and Harry is a winner! Of course he wants the golden boot for the third season running. Personally anything to stop Salah winning, and shutting Liverpool fans up.

Yeah seems a bit ridiculous this. Still, 3 golden boots in a row would look pretty amazing from a branding point of view and more importantly I've got a bet on Harry Kane to score over 31.5 league goals this season so I'm all for it.

The striker's focus should be on numbers, records and stats in addition to how the overall team performs and what results the team returns.

A striker without with a selfish gene is missing an essential ingredient.

They've got this on the BBC sport football pages. The 'have your say' comments are hilarious if not completely predictable.

Tbf Kane may one day be able to beat Shearer’s all time goal record. Imagine how frustrated he would be if he fell one short. Probably also a nice hefty goal bonus which i’m sure all the people commenting wouldn’t turn their nose up at either.

I couldn’t care less what other clubs fans think and overall I like the sheer single minded ambition it shows from Kane, he just wants to be the best at everything.

Personally I couldn’t care less who scores, as long as we pick up the points. But i can see why Harry wants it, with all those records he’s chasing

This situation should not be allowed to consume any more airtime. It can only divide our club. I trust that it will be resolved in the near future so we can move on. Teams can implode from incidents like this. Certainly not immediately but it can lead to a different atmosphere in the changing room. Especially if Harry is seen to be treated as special.

Why? Even Eriksen has said if he claimed it he must have touched it and is happy with the assist. You are making an issue out of nothing

Yeah regardless of any thoughts on how silly the whole thing is, any suggestion this is dividing the club I would say is way off base. I really don’t think Eriksen gives a toss. Harry does, Poch’s backing him, as you would hope a manager would for a star striker when he knows the other player couldn’t care less. Poch’s huge on mental attitude, he probably loves the single-mindedness of it.

It's good for the club to get Harry in with a chance of overtaking Salah. We all saw how he raised his game, and made others do the same, at the end of last season in order to win the golden boot

I am sure Eriksen gets a bonus for a goal or assist. I am sure we want to try to get Kane the boot again this year. It's always a team effort. Even thou he gets the trophy. We all know it's a title u can't win alone.
