So am i right in assuming that you were ashamed when Pires took a dive against Valencia in the Champs leauge last week for which he got yellow carded.

I feel exactly the same, I watched that match between Ipswich and Man U(I'm an Arsenal supporter), and it made me furious to see that greasy haired nonce tumble like a sack of bricks, where by no contact had been made, I mean if your going to try and earn a penalty which ultimatley relegates a club you need to do it well. It was awful to watch, if I was a United supporter I would be ashamed at the acting skills of the striker.

personally, i agree that jeffers has wax on his soles.
but ashley cole, half the time he jumps out of the way of tackles that are waist height! he hits the floor hard, and it does look dramatic, but he does get up quickly.

Jeffers and A. Cole!

Now thery're two people who you can really laugh at when they show an action replay!

On the subject of Olympic style divers i dont think we can cover this subject without talking about Craig Bellamy... sure the guy has immense talent but dear oh dear is he made of balsa wood?

Bellamy falls over like snipered rabbit... he isnt very convincing in his dives either and on many occasions he is laughable in his attempts to gain an advantage.

still, he's a dirty minded player and he has slicked hair. (an Arsenal fan incase you're interested, or as i like to put it: red, white and French all over!)

Ipswich were ultimately relegated by that action but the damage had been done by the previous 30+ under achieivng performances that were made by middle-of-the-road team that tried to stay in the top flight with minimum expenditure (you cant do that, look at WBA)

Im still shocked that Burley got the boot... he was in my opinion a top grade manager operating on a shoe-string.

all this talk of diving is fueling my anger against Ruud. what a filthy tramp he sent down ipswich last season with that penalty. and every single one of his dives are the same. he closes his eyes, twists and falls in the wrong direction.

He was having a scuffle with someone, I can't remember who it was but it was on the Chelsea goal line. (He was black if that helps and it wasn't Hasslebank!)

When he got up, he was jogging away exchanging words with the Chelsea player, when the Chelsea player accidently touched his foot as Pires was purposly getting in his way, Pires fell to the ground and rolled like he'd been tripped!

I would have booked him for it but the ref just had a go at him!

No, don't be stupid! He was caught sightly on the ankle but for him to be able to run 3 full strides and then fall over at the knees, it just took the piece.

He was gently touched and he dived.

No, bunch of tarts. Keown and Totti.

Arrrrrrrrrgh, he touched me!
