I'm sure I read he's scored and assisted the same amount this season as Ross Barkley has managed in the last 2 seasons.He's been known to the odd kick or now slap. He was targeted by WBA (I think he was fouled 3 times within the first few minutes) and will need to shake it out of his game. He will learn. Our best signing since Bale (?) considering fee and potential (not to forget he ALREADY has scored 10 (!) in the PL).
I absolutely fucking love it.Very silly (again) from Alli, only this time he isn't going to get away with it. He has been brilliant this season, but these nasty (unnecessary) moments happen to often. Now he has let his team down and I presume this isn't going to be great for his chances for England either at the European Championship. Sure, he'll still get selected, but this doesn't do him any favours in terms of having a starting spot.
Times have changed since then, video material can be used post-match to give him bans, he needs to be smarter. Besides, Mackay was intimidating there, which is admirable, but punching someone in the stomach... really?I absolutely fucking love it.
We have gone from one of the softest sides to one of the most aggressive in a little over a season. Alli embodies that change in attitude, it's a mindset and one that has gotten us to be genuine title challengers. He needs to be smarter, yes, he needs to be more snide about his work.Times have changed since then, video material can be used post-match to give him bans, he needs to be smarter.

Very sad, very sad indeed. Integrity loses its power in the presence of a LC supporter on another teams forum spouting shite and being properly stupid, as stupid as stupidity possible.This is how proper fans behave? Pfftt ahahahahahahahahhahahhahahahahahahahaha...*pauses for breath whilst hoping not to die from the hilarious side-splitting sheer agony of it all*..aahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
I've visited a few EPL fans forums (with the hope of engaging in friendly debates), and all clubs/forums are the same (the good, the bad, the ugly). So your claim that you and your clubs fans 'behave properly' and are better than others is so f**king absurd and hilarious you should have your head examined.
A quick glance back at your previous two/three posts and you will quickly realize not only how hypocritical you are but what a disgraceful representative of your club you truly are.
Now, I need to read your above comment again for some lunchtime laughter...Pffftt ahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahaha......

There is useful agression and there is pointless agression. Punching someone in the stomach on a set-piece falls under the latter category. What exactly did he gain from doing that? It has gotten him a three games suspension. Veira, Keane and Mackay were intimidating the opponent, what Alli did was just sad and sneaky imo.
Sure he's young and will hopefully learn from it and not do it again, that's not to say that it wasn't extremely stupid and unproductive. The thing is, he has been doing this kind of stuff the whole season and at some point it was going to catch up with him and it has. I just get the feeling that because it's extremely unlikely now that we'll win the title, that people are more forgiving about Alli missing the rest of the season. Imagine we had actually won against West Brom and then couldn't rely on one of our best players in Alli for the title challenge due to his own stupidity. It's an action that could've lost us the title.Alli plied his trade in League 1 where there isn't a camera angle for every part of the pitch. Yes it was stupid and he is now paying the price for his stupidity. As long as he learns that he cannot get away with these actions now. I am sure he'll be a better player for it. He's just turned 20 FFS he's still very much in the infancy of his career, cut the kid some slack. We as a club have missed a bit of nastiness in the side, it's what all championship winnings sides need. Sends out a message that we are not a soft touch.
