this shite is old. At Old Trafford they get every single dive. How many PK's does this team have?

They get as many in one game as we've had all season, Young stepped ON the defender's foot.. so freaking ridiculous.

EPL making sure they stay five points ahead of City. fricking pathetic. Almost as pathetic as no ManU fan starting a game thread here. What a fricking joke.

Laughing out loud that three Arsenal fans have posted.

I'm at church, so I didn't see the penalty OR start a thread.

Well it was a dive, but I'm a Chelsea fan.

You are posting at church? Worse than posting from a bar.

Hahah awesome.
Yeah I really don't have anything against them this season, well no more than I ever do. But this is 2 EPL matches in the last 3 where the same player clear as day Dove solely to draw the penalty, this time there was contact unlike the QPR match but it was Young diving onto the defenders leg ever so slightly. How was this guy not suspended for the QPR dive by the way, EPL doesn't review such after matches?
I really don't like City and their spend as much as possible and hope it works strategy, but this ManU at Old Trafford crap is ridiculous. I know I will be pulling for City in that head to head.

We are pros at that stuff at Old Trafford. Anything remotely close to a foul in the box, and we're going down. Always. That's what we do. Some call it cheap, some call it smart.

Got alerts on my phone for the game.

Even the commentator was saying Young might be carded for diving since he's a known offender. He should have known better.

It is ManU. Nuff said.
Posted on 4/15/12 at 10:23 am to glassman
Deal with it.

This is over. ManU's entire backline is in Villa's half the entire match
That and Villa are 4th worst goal scoring side in all of EPL.

ManU is good enough to not resort to such tawdry tactics. It cheapens the outcome of matches and makes the reffing look suspicious to fans of other clubs.

To be honest I haven't really watched ManU this season other than against Arsenal, and one CL tie.
But how do they fare against speedy, counter attacking type squads? They look very susceptible having their fullbacks push up so highly, and Ferdinand not being near as good as he used to be.
It seems like teams like Napoli, Spanish sides who are all out on offense, and Man City would do fairly well against them.

We take advantage of situations like that. It's not like our entire gameplan is built around going down in the box. Yeah, it looks fishy as heck to everyone else, but it's a smart play as long as it's not blatant. (Again, I haven't seen the penalty from today yet.)

Not as bad as QPR dive, but it was incredibly obvious he only intended to dive.
But you have to think this is something from the training grounds, it's too prevalent for you not to think otherwise. On edge of the box = start thinking of diving.

Apparently their fans don't care though.
There REALLY needs to be a committee that looks at these post match and serves bans.. but in all likelihood they would be as useless as the current FA (denying Derry's appeal was ridiculous)

So you honestly don't care they your team bends the rules to win?
