I think BC is merely pointing out the hypocrisy of it all. Yes, it was a 'headbutt' or head nudge but Henderson's reaction was excessive.What is your point exactly? Yes Henderson went down easily but it wasn't comparable to the antics of Neymar at all.
Hi guys,
I know this isn’t the ‘what our opponents...’ thread, but I’d just like to make one thing clear:
The team we played tonight are called...
COLOMBIA
Catch ‘U’ later
ye we know this to be trueSeriously what an idiot.

What particular people, i.e. posters here, are showing double standards? Who on the one hand criticised Neymar and then condoned or even praised Henderson?
Ditto re Spurs. I don't know that.
The manager will get the plaudits for the result but the way he has set up the side is odd. It doesn’t play to anyone’s strengths in the center except for Lingard. Kane is completely isolated, Dele is isolated and underused and Sterling isn’t able to make his runs. When all else fails Maguire seems to be the go to guy because he can make those runs from defence. I’d have Dele switching with Sterling, Kane moving to traditional CF.
Rose showed in a few minutes how limited Young is as a wing back. He needs to use Danny on the left to give us better width. Henderson sits in front of the back 3 but seems to spend most of the game watching people pass around him. I can’t see Dier improving this much but he is more adept at slipping into a back 4 when the wing backs push forward. It kind of works for England but it’s ugly. It’s like the old zonal systems that people like Herrera used to use. You have players occupying zones and taking space away from the opposition when defending. However England are poor on transition when they win the ball. There isn’t a playmaker as such, just a group of players that pass to each other. As a result set pieces become the fulcrum and the only real opportunities to score.
It’s almost as if Southgate has nullified all the individual strengths of the team for the sake of the unified whole but in doing so the whole is still less than the sum of its individual parts. Yes it works but it’s football through attrition and ugly for the neutral spectator.

Eric didn't miss that PK winner but as for the celebration ...
Can you provide examples?
Didn’t think so.
