All matches over now then....Must trawl through all the action to see if anyone tried to deceive the ref...But hey Man U play Arsenal soon...Why do you not just ban Fabregas now for feinting injury!! Wouldn't doubt it....Wonder if Eddy's playing today? It would probably need him to get tackled by Jonah Lo mu to get a pen today......Complete disgrace the press heaping all the pressure on the ref today!

Whatever makes you feel better. Some might suggest we'd have none of this nonsense if Eduardo hadn't dived, but that would be ridiculous

Eduardo's shame hasn't eradicated the Arsenal Disease going by Eboue's antics. Booked for diving and substituted immediately to compound his disgrace.

True they should get Rooney in to show them how a proper dive is done, a class diver

Damning..............

He has "previous" against Arsenal at Old Trafford in fairness when it comes to collapsing in the penalty box.........

WTF was Almunia doing way out there?

They should have bought Given

Hoof Hearted · August 30, 2009, 12:15:31 AM

did you see that p***k Robbie Savage tonight too. Got a tap on the shoulder and lay down as if killed. w**ker

ONeill · August 30, 2009, 07:29:51 AM

The more you look at it, the more Almunia deserved to be cheated. You can see by Rooney's trailing leg that he was out to do him, and executed it brilliantly.

The more i look at that the more furious i get!!!

He knew exactly what he was at...Cheat!!

If Eddy gets banned so does Rooney!

Thats typical ure prob a UTD fan.....I tell you what if i was marking him I'd make sure it was a penalty.....and he wouldn't be picking himself to take it either....

ONeill · August 30, 2009, 09:55:51 AM

Put it like this - had that been Eduardo yesterday, MOTD would have slo-moed it, virtual reconstruction etc. Disappointed in Lee Dixon that he bought into the stonewall crap. Still more angry with Almunia though.

steve coppell made an asute observation this morning that all front line strikers are taught to ride the goalies tackle and go to ground to help prevent injury, they antcipate the contact and are taught to ride it and go to ground because if they have their feet planted they will get injured, he said the only difference betweeb Eduardo and Rooney was that Almunia didn't get his hands away.

Very recent events have cause me to ponder that maybe there is some substance in this 'things even up, over a season' theory.
I don't know if the theory is supported by stats.
Certainly the theory has its followers.
In line with the 'things even up' theory,
a team could not possibly control where, when or how fast retribution would be exacted.
Arsenal trading a dive to win a (superfluos) goal in a tie that they had all but secured
for the concession of a crucial soft/suspicious penalty in their very next game against the EPL champs.
It would be the stuff of absurd irony, wouldn't it?
