Villa 2 Tottenham 1 post-match thread

[The Edge]

Sheringham was twice the footballer Kane is. Obviously Kane's a better goalscorer.

With respect, I strongly disagree.

Agreed.

I'm not questioning Kanes ability and I think he's a much better player than Sheringham was. Kane is regarded as a world class striker by his peers but  Sheringham never was. What I hate about him is the way he's taken on the mantle of England's main man and he now constantly cheats during games and gets what he wants most of the time. I don't even mind his face or his voice. It's just his cheating ways that boils my piss.

Same for me pal

The feigning injury by Kane that got the opponent sent off put me off him.

I thought he was better than that

Anything like the injury he sustained with the contact with Emi on Saturday?

I hate Kane for that really dangerous habit he has of backing into defenders as they're jumping for a header. And his stupid fucking face.

I have no idea why the footballing authorities continue to allow that to happen. It's so fucking dangerous. He's one of those people who I think is a c**t but I'm not really sure why. Maybe I'm just being a basic bitch and following the crowd, like with Bono.

The debate about Kane is similar to that about Graeme Hick. Sure he scored lots of runs but to no real purpose and usually against inferior opposition. Which is why he's not mentioned in any conversations about great batsmen.

Harry Kane is a superb player. A fucking cheat and dirty prick with a face like the underside of my shoe, but he’s a superb footballer. For club and country. I realize for England they get to play a load of naff but that’s not his fault.

[Monty]

Yeah I mean, I used to (begrudgingly, as he played for them) love watching Sheringham, but he was never world class like Kane clearly is.

I wouldn’t call him world class. Not at all.

He is though mate

Comparing players from different eras is always difficult, I can’t imagine Kane lasting too long playing during the 90s, given how brittle his ankles are.

Kane’s a quality player but also a dirty snide diving cheating prick*, I remember he tried leaving one on Kyle Walker in the champions league, slipped on the touchline and injured himself. He only just made the final, and wasn’t fully fit.

* in other words a Man Utd player

[algy]

If Kane played for Villa, we'd all love him. See Martinez, E.

He doesn’t, Emi does so Kanes a xxxx.

[The Edge]

For anyone still thinking the Kane pen was correct there's a great split screen video on twitter showing Ollie getting brought down against Spurs at their place during lockdown and Saturdays one. Ollie does not initiate contact and Lloris clearly brings him down without touching the ball. No penalty given. Set next to Kanes penalty it highlights perfectly how Kane definitely gets preferential treatment. I wish I knew how to post it on here.

love watching Sheringham, but he was never world class like Kane clearly is.

I’m sure Sherringham consoles himself by getting his medals out of the cupboard every now and then. And he was more of a “second striker” than Kane. And less of a twat.

Try saying that to Andy Cole.
