    Just the word that came to mind!
    Comes as little surprise. Racism & CFC are inextricably linked!

    Leandro Damaio with a last minute equaliser.
    Keeper obviously didn't watch enough Robbie Keane highlights.


    Great save from Daniel Iversen, who's on loan at Preston from Leicester. Schmeichel successor?
    They came back to beat Bournemouth 2-1, who had two ex-Spurs sent off.
    Adam Smith got a late red and Scott Parker was shown one for his comments to the ref.


    He was pissed about the obvious foul on Billings for the second goal. Fair point, I think.

    To prove the point that Chelsea and it's fan base are scum... There has been a pile on to Chris Bryant for him daring to be critical of Abramovic.
    This Twitter thread looks to have been started by a bot, but continued enthusiastically by the abusive Chav trolls and ....John Terry! <doh>

    Sissoko goal v the filth: https://streamgg.com/v/4stb8qcq
    Dirty scumbag Gooner goes down feigning injury from someone handing him the ball in injury time. <doh>
    Should be a red card for being a massive ****. Same old Arsenal, always cheating.

    <laugh> I can only make comments based off what I see. Your post came across as bitter and spiteful over a minor incident.

    It was extremely embarrassing cheating and it got his opponent booked.
    Up there with Rivaldo going down holding his face. Shameful stuff.

    Because, of course, no Spurs player has ever done such a thing in your entire history, right?
    It's ****housery. Lots of teams do it. We won't be the first and we won't be the last.

    It had no impact on the game either, so getting upset over it makes little sense.
    It sounds like you're trying to nitpick at anything to have a go at a team you don't like.

    I can't ever recall a Spurs player being handed the ball and feigning assault.
    I'd criticise it if they did.
    You're just defending it because it's Arsenal.

    <laugh> I'm not defending anything, I just think it's a weird thing to get upset about.

    It's poor sportsmanship, sure - but other teams have feigned injury and playacted against us, so I don't really have sympathy. I just accept it's part of the game now. It is what it is.

    I don't. I also don't remember anyone doing that specific thing. Do you?

    Cheating should be criticised.
    Just because the current crop of pundits don't do it, that doesn't make it ok or part of the game.
    The fact that they were almost universally a bunch of cheats explains it, though.

    That literal incident? No. Comparative incidents? Yes.

    As for your second paragraph, In an ideal world, this would be the case and teams would get punished more for it. But we don't live in an ideal world, lots of teams get away with it, its actively encouraged and the more successful teams across Europe do it.

    Just because I don't like or agree with it, it doesn't change the reality.

    Someone being handed the ball and pretending they've been attacked?
    I can't think of anything similar. Perhaps I'm forgetting it/them.

    They had so many players back and none of them were anywhere near a City player:
