this is what i've been saying for so long, nobody gets booked these days for a dive. It should be a retrospective five game ban that adds up if they want to keep the game. They've done the littlest they possibly can to kick cheating out of the sport and now they've just given up and this is what we've ended up with. A day like today and all 3 dives from young lads, two of them being english players as well, but hey ho, we have something to discuss, ooh, it's controversy, isn't it wonderful?

there was clear contact, and Kane could have easily stayed up. However if you are a striker there you have to go down to get the call. Don't really have a problem with that call though, it was an extremely clumsy challenge.
 

You asshat Poch. Why you bring a full-back off for a full-back at 2-0?

I needed the 5 points from Azpil (bench) for Walker (non-starter) and now you've gone and done this... WHY?! :)
 
terrific onslaught from arsenal there once they went 2-0 down, unlucky to lose really, their players were giving their all to get back into it with countless attacks and players busting a gut to get on the end of crosses.


... oh no wait, they just passed it around their defence and kicked it out for throw ins.

sick of it mate, a foul should be something that actually obstructs you, if the contact was there it was marginal at best, it certainly didn't warrant a pen, if it did, why on earth did harry kane kick out his leg once going down for a second bit of contact? It was a clumsy challenge because gabriel is an utter oaf, but it wasn't a pen, it was another starfish dive that has become common place in this league ever since captain forehead started doing it and started winning games as a result of it. 15 years down the line and nothing has actually been done about it, they've just encouraged it.

The better a team seems to get in football these days, the more they start to cheat.
