or total cheats?
Let's hope Sporting Lisbon vs. Athletic Bilbao do the right thing.

Not a classic but set up nicely for the return leg.
Boxosponge, I take it your are referring to Lallana and his antics of late?

The one bad thing about our superb academy is that every product of it seems to dive. Apart from Theo, interestingly. Actually I can't remember Surman doing it either, but Dexter, Adam, Bale, Chamberlain and even Leon Best, who is 6' 2" and built likea brick shithouse. The worst of the lot is Bale- he spends half of every game he plays rolling around on the floor.

While it's laudable that he stands up for himself and takes it like a man, sometimes I kinda wish he'd be a bit more canny when they're fouling the buggery out of him all game. |

I hate diving, I don't care who you are or who you play for... All this winning fouls that the media talk about. Makes me mad.

Really? Guly is far more prone to it than Sharp.

I'll admit it- I have been known to go down under a challenge... when you're big the refs tend to go for it. I don't do it unless there's contact but I am very adept at it- wait for the contact, both feet in the air etc...
