Man U v Arsenal

[Josedinho]

This has got to be some sort of tag team level.

if everybody is saying your wrong its time to realise maybe you are...

I hate Rooney and I hate Man U but that's not a dive - that's winning a penalty.

lol - does this mean we should accept it as part of the game?  is diving the new cruyff turn?

As I said in my last post I dont see this as a dive.

[gatso]

there's a huge difference

eduardo saw that there was there was never going to be contact so dived to win a penalty outside of the laws of the game

rooney saw that the keeper was probably going to go through him and made 100% sure of the contact. all within the laws of the game, maybe he bent them but he didn't break them

i disagree that eduardo didnt expect contact, the keeper was coming at him much in the same way almunia was going at rooney.

think i'm going to stop posting on this as its really going nowhere.  i feel that rooney, gerrard, drogba, eduardo, ronaldo all do the same thing plus many more, they go down when they could stay up.  this in my eyes is cheating, i understand why they do it and am not nieve, harry kewell did it vs derby (i think it was derby might have been bolton) and i was delighted that leeds won the game however its pathetic that grown men fall over like this - if no contact is made they are a cheat but if there is the lightest of touches then its ok because there is 'contact'.  

I am not saying that the touch of almunia today was light of course but you can see my point.

Really good 2nd half,few points tho:

-Will Eboue now get a 2 game ban for diving when he got booked or do you not get a ban for cheating if your booked (i no prem rules are diff to champs lge but i presume this is the new rules)

-Why are refs such knobs,why waste time sending wenger off when the games just about to finish when he could do it afterwards and what was it for, if it was for kicking the bottle then what a joke,does he now get a touchline ban

-How good is diaby,despite his og looked vv good today heard comparisons with him to vieira which looks like it is the case,mbn to have a manager that good at finding unknown talent

Unlucky arsenal imo played well

Didn't see what Wenger got sent off for - was watching, but didn't see anything worth a red - but he deserves the book thrown at him for the 'protest' when he climbed into the stand.

 

Which "book" would that be Rod ?

Apparently there is nowhere to go behind the away bench hence AW's confusion, it was not a protest.

I am starting to think that you may be certifiably bonkers but I'll still give you a big kiss at BB8 

Any further comment on this Rod ?

[sweet potata!]

I'm Kinda agreeing with Sov here, imo rooney gets the toe poke which is going nowhere then throws himself into Almunia.I'm not saying it wasn't a pen because Almunia of course gave Rooney the option to buy the pen, Rooney obviously said I'll have some of this and threw himself into him.  It could be some sort of rough justice though because it tilts me hard how often keepers come storming out and take someone out of it when theres no danger at all.

The only amusing thing about all of this is that its Wenger, can you imagine how he would have reacted if it was a Celtic player that had dived and cost his team champions league football ?

The real worrying thing is this ... Wenger isn't thick, he will be creating a siege mentality at @rse, and using all this to wind up his team and that spells danger to everyone they play.


I don't agree that Eduardo should be singled out for punishment if there isn't consistency and the same punishment dished out week in week out to offending players !!

Do you think it's fair that if a player gets caught and booked that should be the end of it whereas if he gets away with it then its a 2 game ban,this is bs imo.If eduardo gets a 2 game ban then every other player who dived this weekend should also get the same treatment.I'm guessing that'll be in the hundreds for all of europe,have fun uefa
