Champions League 2008/09

Good job there not playing on 5a-side pitch otherwise Rooneys knees would be red raw with all the diving he's been doing.

 

He always has been a diving tw*t. Equally, if not even more so than Ronaldo, yet because he's English doesn't get half the criticism.

The commentators never call it a dive if it's one of there favoured Englishmen, they skirt around the subject.If it was a Villarreal player going down like that, they would of been all over it as a dive.

I think it was at Spurs away last season where he blatently dived, and the commentator laughed it off saying, "He certainly did seem to stumble".

Anyone else see the arsenal goal at the end. It was a dropball in arsenal's half and the kiev player thought fabregas would play the ball backwards (as normal in drop ball) so didn't contest it... but fabregas instead does an amazing ball forward for bendtnar to score! The kiev players were fuming!!!

Wenger to insist on replaying the game no doubt then.

He won't have seen the incident.

I thought it was a free kick to Arsenal with Fabregas passing himself before playing the long ball? Either way, looked very dodgy. Still a class goal, wonderful ball and Bendtner did everything right.

An oddity.

 

The only defense you can make of Rooney is that he's a fucking woeful diver.  Since the infamous one against Campbell, I've never seen him actually earn a penalty from diving, he tends to just get booked or ignored.

As much as SAF has a sensational managerial record bursting with success at every corner, I still can't agree with his general character.

 

He is essentially admitting Rooney dives, yet still has to have a go at Pires. The old "its ok coz others do it so lets talk about them instead".

 

And yes, Alex, of course people are gonna target Ronaldo. As long as they're fair and strong tackles then tough, he's gonna get the odd bump. If he can get up from them and continue to play well then maybe he is as good as the media would have you know.
