Perhaps the most shameful bit of acting I have ever seen on a football field. That is what he will be remembered for outside of Brazil. Disgusting.

Have you forgotten Phil Neville's attempt in the Derby a few seasons ago??:rofl:

Ha ha. I had but good point. I am sure you recognise the thin ice you are moving on however as your boys have had many a diver including St Stevie.

I think what made Rivaldo's so appalling was that it was a deliberate attempt to get another player sent off, the fake injury bore no relation to what happened and it was on the greatest stage of a players career, a World Cup. Cheating is cheating but his was a level above.

Think van nisltelrooy was the "best" at it. Admitting he'd kick himself so his body would react normally.
Pires kicking opponents and diving was shameful too. It hurts me to acknowledge that one as was against pompey.....

St Stevie and any other Liverpool player has never ever dived or cheated, they were always fouled and I can prove it :whistle:
You're obsessed with us! Are you a closet blue? :rofl:

Not a chance, merely jogging LT's memory. He did say he'd almost forgot :rofl:

We were pants. Bus well and truly parked.....and we got lucky. Id have preffered us to have a go at their defense

I knew he'd adopt those tactics, so much so I covered the draw, no goalscorer,nil nil, draw/draw, and I had a saver on Yernited just in case.......

With all of that attacking talent in your side it really is a waste. Are you still sure he's producing more than LVG did?

Jose played for a point you may not like it but it worked.
That point may get him in CL before Liverpool
City did not do enough to win.
Cant understand Aguero coming short then nobody in the box.
Sane and Sterling poor tonight.
Prety poor game really expected more from the Derby.
Fellani what a prat but Aguero would not win a fight in a playground is this clever or cheating as Sanchez has taken some stick for diving I think this is just as bad.

Or they might miss out on CL by 1pt because of that gutless effort.

With that squad of players surely they can do better than park the bus. He'd be the first one to complain if any of the other big sides done it to him.

If they miss out by a point. I'm sure there are far more games where they've drawn or lost that would have come of a surprise. It was a shocking game to watch. But it was tactics. He is driven by a desire to succeed and CL in niw the target so he went for the tactics that assist that best.

Plenty of teams have blown it by going to gung ho. Madrid this weekend could have done with shutting up shop when they equalised for example. Boring doesn't win fans. But it can help with trophies (arsenals 4th place in this case).
