Tottenham’s Defoe bites back
Goal hungry Jermain Defoe has defended himself for biting Javier Mascherano, claiming the media had “bitten off more than it could chew” in trying to make a story out of incident.
The striker who is yet to score from open play for Spurs this season bit the arm of West Ham’s Argentinian during Spurs’ 1-0 win, although it must be said Mascherano did make a meal of it.
Defoe, in a sound bite issued by his agent, said: “The incident doesn’t look great on TV and I accept that as a role model to kids I have a responsibility to conduct myself in the right way which I always try to do on and off the pitch, preferably with a little Chianti”

Mascherano’s overacting was a waste of energy; Defoe’s biting him was bad enough without any theatrics. I mean, what is the guy, an animal? And he didn’t even do it in a moment of rage - he deliberately crawled over to Mascherano and chomped.
Nice.
