I'm not sure why wenger bothers with the goons as after all he done for that club, to hear his own fans sing "you don't know what you're doing" must be a reak kick in the balls!
 
Surely Cazorla shouldn't have been playing the match if the FA had any bottle to rightly punish him for that disgraceful dive! Not saying they wouldn't have won, they probably would, but it does show how much they really care about cheating.

If the FA did that sort of thing for diving then Bale would only play every 3rd or 4th game for you lot...

But yet they'll happily appeal for Rooney to get his ban reduced for assaulting a player. Totally farcical corrupt organisation. Beggars belief how people can have a pop at UEFA when they are so much worse
 
I still think the goon's are overated,Reading aren't a P/L team,and it's showing now,even QPR would have beaten them tonight

Reading are the worst team in PL history IMO. People point to Derby but i've never seen a team leak goals so willingly. To lose a 4 goal lead like that is ridiculous (CC I mean). At least Derby were in games, there was a number of games Derby only lost by the odd goal. Reading look like conceeding 3 or 4 in every game they play.

You have to ask yourself questions when you score 7 goals against Chelsea, United and Arsenal but walk away with 0 points.
 
See this is the thing - as bad as they are - they'll always hang around the top 4 and come the end of the season they'll be right in the mix.

They've got a manager that knows the league, like Ferguson with Man Utd in the title race. This is the advantage of long term management.
 
In fairness to Bale and Cazorla (as well as the other quick/technically gifted players) they are targetted. There is no doubt managers go out and covertly tell their players to "let them know they're in a game". The Cazorla one was just outright cheating but Bale's v Fulham didn't strike me as the reaction of a man who wanted a con the ref on the half way line or wherever it was.

Arsenal and Spurs combined don't have a fraction of the cheats United do though.
 
Some bloke from the times is reporting that Liverpool have completed deals for sturridge and ince. Combined total of 18mill apparently.

"As of 3 December, 19 players had been booked for 'simulation' in 12 rounds of Premier League games. That's a big increase on the 19 yellow cards for diving in the previous 41 rounds of matches. Tottenham's Gareth Bale, above, is the worst offender so far this season, with four simulation bookings. Fernando Torres, Luis Suarez and Mario Balotelli have two apiece. As a club, Chelsea come out worst with six. But all this is nothing when compared with what's been going on in Italy, where the tally of bookings for diving in this season's Serie A had reached 39 by the start of this month. After the Premier League's 19 come La Liga with 11, the Bundesliga with eight, and France's Ligue 1 with a mere four."

:D

Thats because Chelsea players arn`t very good at it, most teams players do dives only opposition sopporters can spot, Chelsea players do them so even the referee can spot them :biggrin:
