    You do mate. People and the press are regularly bringing it up.

    Your own manager came out in the press today to say he would have a word with your new diver Janujiz - following the same happening with your last manager with Young earlier this year.

    Maybe if you got your fat head out of the clouds you would see this.

    Journo`s would expect a United manager to have a word with a player who dived, they never bother to ask a Liverpool manager this because they know it will never happen.

    Diego you're talking nonsense right now. There's a fresh dive every week at the moment for your lot, Hernandez, Young and now Januzaj all have been booked recently, why are they still doing it then?

    Journos expect Man Utd managers to throw their players under the bus to save their own reputation. Shows what type of people Man Utd employ and what type of people Man Utd fans idolise <ok>

    Were still more interesting than your lot. The eyes of tge world are on us so every little thing is noticed.

    Right now liverpool are keeping themselves low profile. Its doing you the world of good, especially suarez.

    However as I stated, its a month since suarez treated us all to what hes best known for so less of the holier than tjou crap <ok> <laugh>

    There have been some blatent dives recently like Januzaj today (all teams have more than one player who does it) but i do think ref`s (and some supporters) don`t understand how the slightest touch can send a player over when running at speed (not talking about today when contact was a yard away) and sometimes players get a reputation/booked because of their speed/skill.

    The first one, I've no idea why the West Ham players we're going mental at him. Didn't see like he appealed for the pen and Noble was just a lot stronger. 2nd was ridiculous as you say.

    I think you can see from the way players go down as to whether it's a dive or not. When running at pace and you get a slight touch if you stumble it and take a few steps before flaling over, it can look more like a dive but it's probably a more natural reaction of losing balance and with each step balance gets worse to the extent you can't stay up. Where as going over straight away is probably a dive, especially when the hands go flying up in the air as well <doh>

    Think that's why Bale got a lot of stick, he may have got a slight touch sometimes but the way he went down made it look much more like a dive because he would throw his hands and head back

    But Rodgers hasn't had any dives to defend? The only one I can think of was Suarez against Stoke at the beginning of last season which he did condemn, and he hasn't dived since.

    People from norf landan believe not seeing anything is the best option.
