Chelsea are getting into the pantomime season...

This year's production starring Alvaro Morata as So ****e, with the seven dwarfs...Hazard, Kante, Pedro, Willian, Kovacic, Jorginho and Zola.

Watford don’t get an absolutely stonewall penalty against Luiz and Chavs go up the other end and get one with classic Hazard ****ology.

Oh well.......

On Saturday, Granit Xhaka, Shkodran Mustafi and Matteo Guendouzi were penalised for diving by referee Paul Tierney, taking Arsenal's total tally for cards for diving up to 17 since 06/07.
That's still six behind worst offenders Tottenham, while Chelsea are next on 22, followed by Manchester United (21), Arsenal (17) and Liverpool and Manchester City (both 15).

Can't trust Sky Sports I'm afraid...they peddle lies...always do...always have.

Sky 4 bunch of ****ers
 
Thats feckin’ embarrasing - can you imagine the ****storm from the media and Mousers if that had been against them <yikes>

Absolutely. Call a dive a dive instead of "went down a bit easily". Although since nobody at Liverpool dives it can't have been. Compare that to what Luiz did to the Watford player and the word "inconsistent" doesn't really cover it. I'm also thinking that in the ManU match, just before Pogba scored Mata ran into the box and must have had at least as much contact from the defenders as Salah did but didn't go down. All goes to reinforce what we already knew, that certain players will always be pulled up for "diving" (whether they do or not) and others can dive as much as they like without criticism. The worst that gets said is "went down a bit easily" but often it will just be "he felt contact so was entitled to go down".
 
Liverpool and Spurs occupying the top 2 positions in the league?

For ****'s sake, this is the stuff of nightmares!

As much as I hate City, at least I expected them to be leading the table and retaining the title comfortably at the start of the month. Didn't ****ing expect the Mousers and you lot to be leading the way.

May have to stop posting for a while if the unthinkable happens...

Not sure what this is supposed to mean. If true (IF) then it means that we get penalised for it more, NOT that we do it more. Surely if yesterday's results show us something it's that certain teams / players won't get penalised regardless of what they do. Remember all the "dives" Bale got booked for, now remember the dives that Young didn't get booked for.
