    I'll take that as an admission of guilt.
    You're not going to get any more than that.

    Pires was clearly the worst diver that the Premier League's ever seen.
    I have no idea how he even got away with it, because he wasn't in any way convincing.

    What I don't get is why the refs buy it given how bad Young is at diving. Arsenal (Pires et al) were good at it and only in slow motion could you tell, but Young's dive are so ludicrous. How many times have genuine penalty shouts been dismissed because the player goes down too theatrically, but Young does such a silly dive that it would be funny if the refs didn't buy it.

    If the FA really want to help out their ailing officials, then they should hit Young with a ban now.
    He's done it twice in succession, so put him out for the rest of the season.
    It's largely meaningless now anyway, in all likelyhood.

    Sends out a message for next season, without really having to do anything.

    nothing graceful about being blinded and stubborn and pedantic about the details just because it is to suit your team.

    i got no problem admitting when someone in my team is wrong...most of us condemned Bale for his antics as it made our club look embarrasing <ok>

    So that's what they meant when they said he'd develop under Alex Ferguson's guidance...

    Do you think that Murphy was fouled at Old Trafford, Lidls?

    He doesn't do himself any favours with the theatrics, Luke. Referees will be watching him more closely after all this press coverage.

    People condemn the likes of Ens for being pedantic but my lord,i have not seen so much pedantry with regards to details of what constitutes a foul and wether a referee decision influences the outcome of a match..due to it effecting confidence,momentum etc etc...just because 2 of the sky 4 were the beneficiaries yesterday.

    Vermaelen's pulled one back.
    I'll be surprised if Arsenal don't go on to win this, now.

    Wigan have been immense. No gimmicks just keep it simple and play with courage.

    Wigan tend to be good for a win over Arsenal every season - and not a smash and grab one, but one where they deserved the win.
