    Personally think he's becoming a disgrace to football

    To dive in a similar fashion in consecutive weeks is horrific, its people like this that are destroying the game imo and it needs a deterrent

    Admittedly Larsson has done so recently but I know none of us are warming to it much

    As well as that just watching the United v Villa match

    1. Agbonlahor - do you really want to consider purchasing him?

    2. If we don't beat villa, i will be very disappointed

    3. Stephen Ireland potential replacement for gardner (i think gardner has a gentleman's agreement with O'Neill and will be allowed to leave at the end of the season)

    Is this the same overpaid mega star that was such a hit in the slums of NE1?

    No big time to Ireland.

    Agbonlahor was isolated up front on his own today and looks a shadow of hios former self. He played alongside a big centre forward in Berger, Carew, Maloney and Heskey when he has had his better times and I think he needs a fresh challenge. I'd like to see Matt Phillips and Aggy together in a pacy young new strikeforce with Sess and Campbell.

    I see him as a striker but he has been played as a winger which explains his goals per game ratrio of only 1 every 3.96. Given a fresh start under a manager he knows well, he would be a decent signing. Not top, top class but better than Bendtner imo.

    Matt Phillips, Gabby Agbonlahor, Aiden McGeady, Adam Johnson, Stephen Warnock and Wayne Bridge are my favoured targets but we probably dont have a chance of any of them to be honest.

    I'd take Matty Phillips, Adam Johnson and Wayne Bridge out of them

    The others are good but not as high priority as these 3 i believe

    however i dislike Aggy

    I would like to go back to the title of the thread, how can anyone get away with such a pathetic dive to earn a penalty that should never have been!!

    I'm not sure if you get the half time interval like we do here, but we had Curb's and Coleman. Curb's was expecting the ref to pull out a yellow for Young for diving.

    To me there is no contact whatsoever, Young seems to push off from the Villa player's foot and then create's some sort of 'salmon flip', dive to get an advantage.

    Seriously there is something wrong with the game if nothing get's done about it!!

    Shocking.

    Back to the OP.

    Young was clipped but his theatrical dive would have him a medal at the Olympics.
