It's a shame the dive will be talked about so much more than the goal. Suppose this is what football has become...

Of course but why does he even find the need to dive?

 

How do we know?

 

Typical this, the wonder kid dives and the world goes into meltdown. I wonder if Cleverley dived there would be this reaction. He dived, get over it. He's a young lad, he'll learn.

 

Rich as f*ck coming from you.

 

God knows if a Liverpool player had done it you'd be harping on about it for months.

[theadmiral]

 

Twice with Januzaj and that's it. Can't remember the last time Young dived or any other United player for that matter.

 

 

You don't remember him being booked for diving against Palace and Moyes coming out and condemning it , and then Young arrogantly saying "It is up to the referees to police it, not up to players to not do it"?

 

Short memory!

Yeah I really dislike it when supporters defend diving then get irritated when a rival player does the same! It's all a form of cheating and I hate how pundits and commentators seem to tolerate it all the time, and the media only target certain players who do it. If your brown skinned and non english especially.

 

Newcastle putting a string of wins together now, their fans seemed to dislike Pardew last season but if they keep up their form they can get in the top six

[Crokey]

I think Joe Hart just wormed his way back. Don't think he made any f*ck ups today, although I didn't watch the game.

I wouldn't say wormed, I think Manny is probably going to rotate them a little to keep them both happy and keep their respective national managers happy, they are both equally good, it's just that we've not seen much of Pantilimon. Plus rotating the keepers will keep them both sharp so should anything happen they can slip in without losing that match sharpness.

I dont quite see Newcastle breaking the top six as for me Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City, Man United and Everton will be the top six come the end of the year. They will be around the 7th, 8th and 9th spot with Spurs and Southampton IMO.

I wonder who is going to poach Cabaye off them. The guy is playing great this season. Wenger might still be planning something seeing as he tried before and they both are French!

 

United should go for him.

Let me put it this way, I'm against diving, I always criticize Young for diving but Januzaj is 18 years old. He has a lot to learn in football.

There was no Young dive. These are not the droids you are looking for. LOL

I'm 18 myself and I'm well aware that diving is wrong. He's 18 not a damn baby, he should know better than to dive even at this age.

Congrats mate but you're sitting behind a keyboard. Bit of difference when playing in front of thousands.

 

Let's move on. Diving has been discussed to death.

I'd rather stay on it a while. We've done Soldado for days. I think we need days of talking about United's diving players.

Yes, I remember, I was fairly certain there was some sort of contact but he did that stupid thing where he kicked the player and then went down. Silly me for making a mistake, wow I am such a horrible person...

 

@Tommy: We haven't heard the last of it. There will be another 5 pages of this sh*t.

Do you remember or don't you? You just said you don't remember Young ever diving. He also dived vs Sociedad but did not get booked for that one, and Fergie lectured him for his dives in previous seasons.

[Shoumaker]

Knowing myself I still wouldn't dive to get a decision my way regardless of my position so sitting behind a keyboard doesn't make a difference, I wouldn't dive because it's cheating.

Did you even read my post? I said 'I was fairly certain' there was contact, but then remember watching he did that stupid kick thing against the player and went down. He did the same thing against Villa the other season but didn't forgotten he did the same thing against Palace as they were identical.

Its ok, i'd want to forget about it and not remember it if I was a United fan also. Disgraceful conduct.

k I'll go get your medal for being a good sport.

 

People need to f*cking get over things. Diving happens all the time. Januzaj never started it ffs.

Ashley Young is a notorious serial diver and almost anyone who follows football knows that, much less United "Fans". He's been criticized for years now about it, with both England and United. Both managers, Fergie and Moyes, have condemned him in public and he himself came out and admitted he does it but doesn't see it as a problem, and it is up to the Refs to deal with it.

 

You don't need a photographic memory to know this. Just do a quick google and you can see lists of his infamous incidents. Go to youtube and you can see Fergie and Moyes calling him out over it.

You know how fun it is for us to see United fans get pissed? The wonder kid dived and we have every right to criticize the kid. It's a part of the game so there's no point getting pissed now and get all defensive.

 

Not sure why we're all getting so worked up, it's just a game my bro's.

That is a splendid idea. Let's see who sticks to it.

No problem with page after page about Soldado?

No that's annoying too.

 

I would like to discuss football but you and Shoumic would rather talk about a dive.

 

I'm going to go ahead and hope this doesn't get turned back around to the dive or United. Predictions for Arsenal vs Chelsea?

It's just fun to see you two get mad or I would have stopped a while back.

 

2-1, an Arsenal win for me, although I'd like to see a draw for obvious reasons.

[theadmiral]

Well the dive was part of the football match and considering how much United has been diving lately, and that Young is the third most booked diver in the premier leagues history, it is pretty relevant to talk about United's diving reputation. But we can move on if we must.

 

I think Arsenal will blow it, but I wouldn't put a punt on it. It seems just so typical for them to lose their top spot and sink into a rut. Then again, Chelsea has been crap lately. It is going to be a good game.

Oh that lasted six minutes. While we're at it we'll go back to Suarez being a cheat.

 

Going for a Chelsea win myself.
