Really feels like they have been told to ignore handballs.

I'm starting to fancy Kane for player of the season

QPR had two clear penalties turned down, couldn't have happened to a better side though.

He'll get young player for sure, i'm not sure about player of the season.

?? Surely poty should come from a team that has achieved something. The best spurs can hope for is 4th place. I don't think he deserves it more than hazard, Terry or costa.

Incredible goal stats from Kane.

I do. I agree to rewarding winning to a point but you also have to award value in my opinion. If they do make 4th it will be only down to Kane and that's quite a feat. Although I doubt he'll get it but he deserves to be in the conversation.

Since we are talking about the biggest sport on the planet.

Shouldn't there be a social and moral philospohy within the game? I see what you are trying to say, but if you punish a player for his competitiveness and willingness to win, what's going to be left of our game? Sometimes there are going to be hard tackles and bad tackles, but if we start punishing that with 6 match bans we're going to end up watching a game in which the players are scared to touch eacother in a battle for the ball hoping not to get banned for the next month.

Look at the modern day NBA for instance, the flagrant foul rules and everything that's come in the past 15 years has made the game friendly and soft. I was born in 1996 so I am aware I wasn't even born then but I do consider myself a rather intelligent lifefrom and have done my fair share of research. In the early 90's you would have Isiah Thomas' Pistons and young Michael Jordans' Bulls go against eachother and work eachother mentally and physically to a point to where Michael Jordan has openly admitted years later he hated Isiah Thomas, that's a strong word. Meanwhile nowadays you have Kevin Durant's Thunder battle LeBron James' Heat in the NBA Finals and have one side not give it his all because they're too good of friends.

Competitiveness shouldn't be punished, sometimes it can get out of hand i.e the recent Matic case. And he paid his dues for it. But we can't say that he's wrong for what he did, he defended his turf, and we need to keep that in the sport.

However spitting is not being competitive, that's demeaning and disgraceful globally, I don't know what culture you come from but in a sport that's as global and influential as football, this kind of behaviour should not be tolerated. And I'm aware I'm starting to sound like a broken record but Evans' disgraceful attempts to deny any part of the incident should be punished extra.

I love competitiveness! You got me wrong. Spitting is sort of the side product of pride and competitiveness. I love when players put everything in. Dirty tackles need to be punished because they can end a career but they happen. Punishing overboard on biting(suarez type), spitting for example that hurt no one but are a side dish for ultimate competitiveness and pride for your team are to be punished but 6-7 games? Not defending either just saying those punishments dont fit the crime. It is not like there is a epidemic for spitting if it only gave you 1 game suspension. The punishment needs to be shame and not suspension. You like nba I like nhl where divers (the few) are put into shame.

Spitting and biting to be punished with that degree is given because of children. I can't think of any other reason. Those things don't affect the result in any way. Diving and dirty tackles can easily so do.

This spitting row has gotten out of hands..7 games, 6 games. Not nice but who the f**k got hurt? Some lady somewhere who thinks it will corrupt children?

There is no worse insult. 6 games is right

if some f**ker spat at me in the street i'd break his jaw, that is low, low, low!

The difference between spitting and a bad tackle is that tackling is part of the game. A bad tackle can sometimes simply a badly timed attempt to do something legitimate within the game.

Spitting at someone is not part of the game. It is disgusting and disrespectful.

Kane is the best striker in the world right now. 14 goals in his last 13 PL apps. Brace against both Arsenal and Chelsea. This guy will take the Golden boot as well. Incredible talent at just 21 years of age.

He's good alright, but Jose's tactic stopped him scoring.

I get that. But the punishment is too big. The two spat at each other. 1 game for each.

What would you do if someone kicked you in the street? Go to police probably. I don't get it. Has to be cultural difference.

I wouldn't go that far, he's having a great season but to be the best you need to do it for more than one season.

Spitting in the courts is assault, so it's basically the same thing

Aston Villa score!

Madrid and Ancelotti bottling the title.

He's under intense pressure now, needs to win either la liga (unlikely) or the CL or else that might be it.

I think he's been very lucky.

He was a Ramos header away from losing the CL to your local rivals as well as the title.

Mourinho is twice the manager he is, although I do like Carlo. Just think he's quite average when the going gets tough.

I'm saying currently he is, overall nah, he's to do it more than one season I agree. But currently no one else is close to him right now, he's scoring almost every game against big teams as well. 

WBA down to ten,. Bad call from the ref.

Carlo Ancelotti has never really been a league manager, his success has come from cup competitions. He's won 3 league championships as a manager, and 1 of those championships was always going to happen.

Another terrible decision from the ref, how the hell did he think that was a booking ? Yacob didn't do anything.

Yacob doesn't do himself any favors by hopping into the tackle like that, if he keeps his feet on the ground then there would have been no room for doubt.
