Depends on what you define as diving. If to you diving is falling over when no contact is made then very few do that however if you think it is exaggerating a fall/injury then lots more do it

The latter is what I consider diving, and I see it multiple times a game. It taints the sport, IMO.

Holy crap what a game.


A few thoughts I thought the ref did a pretty poor job. First thing was there was a couple of dives from both sides which he didnt award a free kick for and the way I see it if you're aknowledging its not a foul then surely its a dive?

There was the one with Evra I think in the second half where he was chasing a ball to cross it and ended up throwing himself on the floor when the defender won the ball the ref looked to take the easy option and award City a goal kick should either have been a City free kick and a yellow for Evra or a United corner can't have it both ways.

Also Evra's penalty appeal its either a penalty or a dive cause Toure got nowhere near the ball.

Tevez also should have got sent off at the end for the kick out at Jones.

Great game in the Manchester derby for the neutral fan, shame it got spoiled by a couple of morons at the end throwing coins and running onto the pitch. An advertisement for the best, and worst, that the EPL has to offer.

I'm glad that Ferdinand didn't make a big deal of it after the game and loved Hart man handling the City fan who ran on the pitch. Harts a great keeper and probable the only city player I like

Not seen the match as I was working, but oh man did Aston Villa take a whomping against Chelsea earlier.. Chelsea seem to have hit a bit of a purple patch in their last couple of games, this follows on from a 5-1 win away to Leeds midweek.

Wow what a game!

Unfortunately I had to watch the game on an ESPN stream, holy **** did does commentators suck! Possibly the worst game I've ever heard called, give me Jack Edwards over those two idiots I don't think they said a single thing posotive about both teams the whole way through.

YES! I woke up to this glorious news...

3 year deal, they have been working on getting him for the past 4 months after Jupp Heynckes revealed he wanted to retire at the end of the season. Good news for teams in England, bad news for Bundesliga teams

Crazy day in the cup! Tottenham and Liverpool out to lower league teams and Chelsea drawing as well!

Ronaldo has now scored against every team in La Liga, That is.....

Him scoring the only goal today as Granada beat Moudrid 1-0 thanks to a Ronaldo OWN GOAL!
