Goalie gets off with it

Last season Spurs were the villain of the piece, we were the team that threatened the Leicester fairy tale, so the media made sure that the Dembele and Alli incidents were highlighted to high heaven, and hence there had to be retrospective bans. Even the Sissoko incident this season, everybody was made fully aware of it by the anti Spurs media.

The next stage in Deles education curve would be for someone on the coaching staff to suggest to him that the next time some oink does something similar to him he should throw himself onto the ground holding his face and roll around a bit. He would certainly be entitled to do so then see what the officials make of it.

When these on the pitch things happen its probably not the start of things, but an on going confrontation that started sometime back when the cameras weren't on it.
Like maybe Alli was blocking Valdes on a corner, something like that.
Then Valdes gives Alli a head shove the next time they meet.
And so on ....
Alli knew wot it was for, so did nuttin. End of.

Wait, was this the incident where the keeper was 75 yards away from dele, breathed out and dele tumbled like he was shot?

Tbh I think Dembele's eye gouge was worse....

One might think that but when you look at it ... the diving, cheating Costa does not even appear to notice that his eye has been gouged

Come on FA, do your job...
The inconsistencies are mind boggling.

Although its astonishing that he's got away with it I would rather see Valdes in goal when they play the rest of the top 6 than whoever their reserve keeper is.

I had originally emailed the FA moaning but I have to withdraw my moan because Clattenburg included it in his report. I know when Clattenburg is the official you either get the first class referee or the self centred one who thinks the game is mostly about him and the spectacle he is helping to create??? I have to guess we got the latter on Sunday. Quite how he can say Valdes acted within the rules of the game is surprising even for him.
