Can't think of many if any good performances today. We've been poor all over the pitch.

I agree there was contact but that was a dive and IMO should be seen as simulation. How can a slight tug on you shirt cause both your feet to leave the ground?

Get what you're saying mate but by the letter of the law it's contact. We'd be asking for a pen the other way round.

That penalty made me physically feel sick - there is nothing as pathetic as that, I'm fucking embaressed to have been witness to such a show of professional pussyism.

This is what's wrong with top flight football - fucking pathetic, soft as shite, yet they can be idolized by fans, justified by commentators - Eric, the only thing you should learn from that is opposition strikers are weak and fucking shameless, with no concern for winning, just making the other team lose by cheating.

Fucking hate that, fuming that someone can be such a **** and earn so much adoration for it.

Why are so many people claiming it was a dive? He was pulled. Yes it was soft but in no way a dive.

If lamela had gone down the same we wouldn't be crucifying him.
It was a penalty and a dive, the pull wasn't of sufficient force to make him go down, therefore he dived.

Kaboul is a fucking shadow of his former self, truly awful today followed closely by eriksen who looks totally lacking today!


Why anyone believed that Kabul would not return to type is beyond me. Thankfully Poch knew this and has brought in two CB's that can fucking read a game, can time a tackle and pass a ball.

Yes he dived, and Dier shouldn't have pulled him back thus giving him the chance to dive and the referee a decision to make. You can't say it wasn't a penalty, because he clearly pulled him back a little and that isn't allowed.

ffs its a contact sport, i tickle my 2 year old niece harder than that. It was never a pen.
