Poch you need to get a grip of the situation, and let all the players know in no uncertain terms that you will not tolerate this sort of behaviour, and anyone dealing in stamping, elbowing, gouging will not be even considered for first team selection.

A former Argentinian defender asking his players to clen up their act? The odds, Sandy!

Most draws in the PL Sandy along woth a few other clubs, is this becoming a concern for Spurs now that you're not losing games but struggling to win them?

The ref claimed he didn't see it? He was looking straight at it!

Either way, deserves the ban, pure stupidity.

It is not their fault. It is whatever they being fed with.
How do you think they turned into super athletes overnight?

Didn't Harry Arter come out and say he hoped Sissoko didn't get punished cause he came out after the game and apologised and said he didn't mean it?

FA paying attention as usual

So if a player says he didn't mean it he should be let off?

Sissoko could miss the NLD .

Unfortunately the decision isn't down to you, If Poch had his way I'm sure Sissoko would be in his strongest eleven . Hopefully, for your sake Kane will be back by then

Not quite - he said:

"if he didn’t mean it hopefully he doesn’t get banned"

IF he didn't mean it. It's pretty easy to see if an elbow is intentional or not, and if it's decided that it is then a ban is the only fair outcome to be honest.

Bit of a nonsense in the sense that the ref was looking directly at it. Also, and I'm really trying not to be biased here - I don't think it was an intentional elbow, I think Sissoko was trying to fend Arter away from the ball, and felt Arters hand on his arm so was just trying to push away rather than throw the elbow. So for me, not at all malicious.

That said, he was reckless with his action and that's what led to him clocking Arter so if the ref had punished him at the time it would've been fair enough really.

30 mill for that useless fack , I bet Mike Ashley was laughing his fat gut off at us.

He wont be missed when his suspended.

I still cannot comprehend that he is our record signing.

I'm all for giving players time, and yes he gives us more physical presence and can be decent, but...

...30 million pounds. Unbelievable.

oh it was blatant....

I'm glad we've found a bit of steele in the team...leaving summat on them in the tackle is fine....but that was pure thuggery and he deserves a ban.

I have to say I have not been impressed with Sissoko either, so he will hardly be missed, if he gets as expected, a four game ban.

We have had a few iffy moments in 2016, must have the most bans out of any team in the PL this year?

James McClean probably single-handedly putting WBA second.

Poch is dismantling the old spurs nicey nicey image

"lads, it's Tottenham" will now have a new meaning

I'd be more worried about Lamela tbh. Looks like a walking red card.

Red card? Spurs?

Well me may not get red cards but we sure as hell get yellows. Bit like Costa. Not sure what he has to do to get sent off although he's been better behaved this season under Conte. Jan is also one yellow away from a ban so he needs to tread carefully against Leicester (assuming he won't play against the Dippers!)
