2. Suarez again
3. Young
4. Hazard
5. Ivanovic/Nani

Christian Bale

I don't care if he can be a Hypocrite, Fergie is brilliant and I will miss him when he retires.

Suarez isn't slated for going down, he is slated for moaning at the ref after going down and going down theatretically (turning his head instantly)

3 weeks in a row, he hasn't been given crystal clear penalties , it's because Media has brainwashed the refs just like they have then have done to swanhends


of course these are all dives

Chris Foy demoted to League 2 after refereeing United v Spurs last week. I kid you not



and Halsey has had 2 absolutely shocking performances in a row and keeps reffing in Prem.

Suarez doesn't dive LOL.
He exaggerates like hell. Its too much, I agree but *bleep* me he never goes down without contact.

And what about the times when he gets back to his feet even after getting the full blow of a tackle to continue the game?
Ex1- Sahin goal vs Norwich.

The word "dive" in football encompasses many things. Falling without contact/falling with slight contact/making a meal of a simple brush/feigning injury. Diving isn't defined as simply "falling without contact"

So yes, Suarez does dive

What is he supposed to say? "My players are divers". Yes that's going to be great for manager-player relationships... He's backing Nani.

Some of you need to understand that there is a purpose behind press statements, and it's not necessarily giving his true opinion on the subject.

My f*cking sides











and my PERSONAL favorite:




Poor Luis Media Victim

Jog on Swanhends, he clearly is having his ankle grabbed by the Mystery Ghost Air Monkey.

Bloody hell

Same people that say Suarez isn't a diver are laughing at Ferguson because he said Nani isn't a diver.

Thank you sir for this post. I can't believe someone actually had the nerve to say Luis Suarez doesn't dive he just exaggerate's.

Unreal, and yes Nani is a serial diver as a ton or Portugese players are. But Nani, Pedro and Ronaldo are in a class of there own among the Portugese.

I can't believe SAF would say that, what is the context? Did someone ask him specifically if Nani is a diver?

Didn't take much effort, literally a 5 minutes google search

People point out Fergie hypocrisy.

Someone makes an irrelevant and fallacious argument attacking previous posters' club's players.

Original posters defend their clubs and players.

Fallacious argument poster then attacks them for being hypocrites despite being the original ones to set things off.

Random taggers on jump into to bask in the reflected trollery and feel like they fit in by "lolling" at the fallacious arguments.
