Savage from Jose

I feel your pain. I often can't even remember what I had for my dinner the previous night on a morning
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I get that too. Usually after a belly full of beer.

Ah, those were the days.

I never had any problem remembering what I ate though as I would either be wearing it or
there would be kabab wrappers all over the floor.

Why was Rashford being booed, probably missed something obvious here

MOTD commentator mentioned something about a penalty against them last season. I can't remember the incident tbh.

He dived

Bit of a strange comment as he knows full well Swansea is in Wales!

Having said that the booing wasn't too bad and I certainly don't take offence at the comment either.

He does love a wind up though doesn't he and if he's joking around and relaxed it's better than him being miserable. Long may that continue.

He dived

One of the replays showed the keeper just clipping him. He did make a five course meal out of it though.

Sounds like something Wenger would say

In my mind, if you go down willingly, you have dived.

Of course, as a player if you don't go down these days you don't get the free kick. Everybody will have a different interpenetration of a dive.

It was a Definite cheating dive by Rash, can see why Swansea were annoyed.

Busby

A good read on it is in the Ronaldo chapter in SAF's second book.

IMO the reason players dive is because otherwise the ref won't give fouls.

How many times have you seen a player been penalised for staying on his feet when being clearly fouled.

Yes diving is bad but is it cheating any more than a tug on the shirt to check an attackers stride? The stride that could make a difference between getting into a scoring position and not.

IMO the reason players dive is because otherwise the ref won't give fouls.

the pundits are the worst when it comes to this, castigating players for diving yet always moaning when a player actually stays on his feet and the ref doesn't give a penalty saying how the player should have fallen over, surely if contact is not strong enough to drop you and you fall its simulation?
