So, a fair bit of reaction to the Alli tackle, which was indeed brutal and nasty, but how does it rank in the pantheon of bad things a Spurs player has done? Is it worse than Dembele's gouge, Bent's miss or Ghaly's petulance? Does it rank with Zokora's dive, Defoe's bite or the Paulinho / Adebayor wall?
And was it even the worst tackle you've seen? I seem to recall Jamie Redknapp doing something similar but there being no condemnation because 'he's not that kind of player' and surely the likes of Van Den Hauwe must have put 10-12 tackles like that every game back in the day when football wasn't so soft...
Let's try and keep it on the pitch so we don't get side-tracked by Judas, although, obviously, any comments along the lines of 'marry Mandy Smith' or 'become interim Tottenham manager after AVB left' would be worth having.
