Funnily enough, just watched MOTD 2 on the I Player. Cracking game, as was ours, and I agree, never a dive. The Arsenal defender was on him. Was it a pen? Not so sure, but either way, not a dive.

Push in the back. Doesn't matter if Kane slowed down or not, it was a push in the back of the attacking player. Rank bad defending. Penalty...
 
I'm sorry. But that was definitely a dive by Kane and he knows it. Can tell by his demeanour when interviewed with the clip to hand.

It's not a foul when the striker initiates the contact by veering into the path of the defender, slowing up, then bundling himself over. it's a clever attempt at deceipt, but a dive nonetheless.

A striker has every right to place himself in front of a defender if he can get there first. It is for the defender to then ensure he does not commit a foul. A push in the back of an opposition player is a foul anywhere on the pitch, and in the penalty area, it is a penalty...

There are times in history where playing for Newcastle would have probably been pretty great to be honest

Interestingly according to Wikipedia, when Owen when to Newcastle we were actually interested in signing him but we wouldn't meet Madrid's valuation

History could have been very different

Yeah he would have been using us to sell books instead of Newcastle. Absolutely made up he swerved us.
