Not as boring as you getting all high and mighty when the forces of darkness are linked with diving, especially as the players I've mentioned were or are the best exponents on the planet. If you can't take the heat, piss off out the kitchen. >:D< Oh by the way I've discovered emocions.

Marks for Gerrards dive at Anfield last season in CMPL when the opposition defender had the temerity to look at him in a nasty way. They broke the mould when they made the likes of Frank McClintock, Tony Adams, Steve Bould and Keown (he's got a monkeys head)

What charming language Atila. Matt, that list is hilarious, no Torres or Van Persie? And surely Pires counts for two he was so bad. ::o

[Keef]

Robbis Savage *spits* went down rather easily. (on blokes probably, the c**t!!!!)

No, I think horse face Van Nistleroy counts as 10 as he was the biggest cheating c**nt that ever played in the prem, Van Persie, yeah right. Should have gone to spec savers.

Yes, he has that effect on my most opposition fans!!

Charmed again AG.

What about Andy Johnson? Bergkamp struggled to stay on his feet as did Overmars.

Does talking bollocks come naturally to you or do you take lessons? As the overwhelming evidence on this forum proves, the majority of opinion points the finger at your players past and present being exponents of the double twist back flip with pike. Bergkamp and overmars struggled to stay on their feet becaiue they were constantly being hacked over by "good honest, professionl" journeymen who couldn't play football properly if their wretched lives depended on it. I love the comments most pundits come out with when Scholes (regularly) scythes someone down, "He can't tackle can he", well don't fcuking try then you ginger knob, if you're going to potentially injure someone!!!

So did Francis Lee who won more penalties in one season than anyone else in living memory. Can we move on now please?

[Sandperson]

I see steam rising in South East London. I stand by my accusations Bergkamp, Van Persie, Overmars, Viera and the king of them all Pires liked to try and con the ref. Eduardo is just following in a long tradition.

[matthew123]

Yes Pires was a diving cheat but you cannot put him in the same bracket as Ronaldo... but of course the undoubted master of diving in the box was Ruud Van Nistlerooy. No one, not even Ronaldo can touch the Dutchman. Ahh I forgot Teddy Sheringham.. now there was a player who had no shame in the box although most of his dirtiest work at Spurs.

We all know there are individuals who cheat and it's difficult to pin the blame on the Club they play for but when you have half a team of players who dive outside the box (rather than make a pass) because they have a master craftsman free kick taker then that is an entirely new level of cheating. I don't want to point any fingers here but not so many years ago the Club in question would have it's players manufacture 50-50 challenges on edge of opposition box so they could vault 2 footed in the air to try and win a free kick - they usually got the free kicks but this tactic suddenly disappeared circa 2003.

[Sandperson]

Oh, this is a suprise. I really thought I was going to get a well balanced opinion from you Matt.....not. What a shame you've stuck your blinkers on again so soon after the beginning of the season. I guess it's all downhill from here. :( Of course the only way we ever win games is by diving AND we send our scouts out looking for the best divers in the world. you two just crack me up.

Ah, but which one is which RD? (?)

[Annasfield]

Looks more like our parasitic owners to me.

[red devil]

Photoshop some Liverpool scarves and you could well be right Anna...

[Mick Mac]

Anyone remember Anders Limpar - he won a lot of penalties before they sussed him out.

He was the first one I remember to "flick" his leg as if he had been kicked, when he had not been touched.

Good player though,

[Keef]

Klinsman was not above a bit of diving action either. It is uncanny how much those puppets are like the Liverpool owners!

[red devil]

Puppets? They're Muppets Keef, Statler and Waldorf, ''two ornery, disagreeable old men'' who do happen to be American...

[Annasfield]

Not muppets - #&$s!!! (That begins with a C)
