I think Yacob deserves some credit actually. I know he's a dirty, niggly player and he went out to do a job on Alli but he could of hit the deck and writhed about, then it could of been a red card, suspension and possibly losing the game. There's plenty of Yacobs out there, so young Alli has to just wise up.

Always nice to put a name to a face, and good to see you've recovered your composure.
Yes he could have which possibly highlights that there wasn't much actual contact and looked much worse than it was.
But yes still wrong and next season we will see a more mature player!
Youngster at the mo and we all do silly things when we're young.
Spurs fans should stick by their players and not The Sun or journos who support, Woolwich, Chelsea and West Spam! Delli Alli getting a 3 match ban is the WORST decision in history of football and a scandal.
I bet Roy Hodgson is furious with the FA for harming the England team of who should be a national hero treated so shabby by the press and the corrupt FA.
Tottenham also get teh worst refereeing in the entire league!!

It is 100% the correct decision.
The English press absolutely love the kid, too much so in my opinion. Whilst there is no denying he is an incredible talent, the way he is bigged up in the press doesn't always reflective some of his performances. The fact that Eriksen, a far better player and wasn't even nominated for YPOTY kind of encapsulates the situation.
I hate that kind of destructive cunts, but at least he didn't roll around like a lil' bitch when he got 'hit'.
At least we aren't victims of an FA conspiracy, like Leicester.
If you were a Spurs fan then you would not be spouting this bollocks!
I remember this at the time, and it still makes you think that Mason has not reached his potential yet. If played in that number 10 position who knows, he could fly. Unlikely to get the chance though.
I suppose tonight we will see how we will cope without Ali starting or coming off the bench.
Yes, we are more than a one man team but that one man at Stoke for example. Set up Eriksen chance that hit the bar was an outlet up front when Kane came deep and provided with chances from Eriksen and Kane, one which he scored one which he missed. He then put Lamela through with a lovely ball for Kane's 2nd.
Kane's 1st goal was individual quality. Yet apart from Kane's very first chance, Ali was central in every other chance we made and goal we scored.
Everyone has a role in the team. We are going to miss Ali simply because we have nobody else who can do what he does. If he wasn't important he wouldn't have played 49 games this year missing just 2 league games ( exc the ban) the 2-2 & 0-0 draws at home to Stoke and Chavs.
Mason is not going to fill that role. Yet he is the closest thing we have got.
I don't even think Mason will be put in that position by Poch.
I think he will play Chadli on the left and move Eriksen inside. We will then be minus a chance maker and a goal scorer. Chadli at his very best was not as influential as this kid has been for us this season either defensively or offensively.
No, only in goals and chances created.
Never worth a three game ban, a week maximum.
But fully worth it if he learns a lesson.
