    Alan always agrees with the ABUs on things like this, dont know why. The contact is blatant. Ive not denied Young made a meal of it. I will even say his antics were shameful.

    It was still a penalty.

    Oh they get more decisions do they? How many of those decisions change games? I'd imagine significantly fewer. Point being Man City would still be top of the league had you not had so many games handed to you on a plate because of piss poor refereeing. As for my opinion on a Premier League board, it counts as much as any ones, and the way you speak to other people instantly rules out whatever credibility you had. That challenge was definitely not a penalty, but the worst part is that you show absolutely no respect to the opinions of anybody else just because it doesn't match your own. People who do not value the opinions of others do not deserve an opinion.

    I dont know whether its the fact your mentally challenged, fat, thick, slow, dim, special or just an Arsenal fan but pushing the rules is not cheating.

    Now being a nigerian banker you should know a thing about cheating.

    there was ABSOLUTELY NO contact... come on FFS .... just Youngs usual cheating. I don't expect ManU fans to agree but please be honest and don't defend it at least.... simply cheating as he did against us.

    "Cheating and pushing the rules to their limits are not the same thing, regardless of what people think. You, me, everyone on here pushes rules to their limits. "


    dont judge everyone by your low life standards .

    I dont , and have never cheated .

    Seems like you accepted it as the norm and are happy to join in .

    How sad .

    I'm not totally against cheating of all kinds but diving is in a league of its own and there's possibly nothing to compare it to. As you said earlier, placing the ball a yard from where it should be is against the rules but people don't get up in arms about it because every case is different. Pushing the rules to the limit is acceptable but it's a fine line and Young has crossed it on two occasions in a week. I value the opinion of those who have played the game and I doubt you'll find one ex-pro that will back you on this.

    Diving is gamesmanship, gamesmanship is a bookable offence, as it is technically against the rules. Acting in such a way to get a decision you wouldn't otherwise have gotten, is gamesmanship, so by the letter of the law Young should have been booked for his theatrics.

    Young feels the slightest brush and goes over. Its disgraceful but its the way the game is today.
