well going on about the diving thing which is something very close to my heart and something i absolutely hate.. i'll say this about United we do have players that dive.. Ronaldo and Ruud spring to mind as the main culprits but most of our team have prob done it at some poit this year.. i won't name anyone from any other teams as it's pointless.. the fact is it goes on about twenty times in every match.. just look at the times when a hand goes near someones face and they end up rolling on the ground.. i'll tell you when i last saw my g/f she touched my face and I didn't have the same reaction
the fair play league is a joke as you get points for fans behavour and other stuff.. if the fans were signing anti- chelsea songs we loose points if they clap when chelsea do well we get points.. the fpl should be scraped due to the fact that each team cheats and dives in every match.. if FIFA had a proper fair play league that rewarded honest decisions without diving it would be ok.. any team that has players going up to the ref waving a card saying are you going to book the player from the other team should be suspended from it..
i know i said I wouldn't name anyone for diving but go back to the pen with Boro v Man U.. i don't want to argue about whether it should have been given or not but the player had his shirt pulled.. when he went down he had a face in pain and was goign "arrrrggghhhh" like they all do.. over his shirt being pulled
going back to the game during the firat half we played well but since when has a United team come out for a second half at 1-0 up and said we will sit back and defend a slim lead.. that's not the way we play and not United .. i blame Quieroz for that.. we were lucky Chelsea weren't in top form as the amiont of ball they had they should have punished us in the second half.. o'Shea was awful for the whole match and every touch ,,, pass and cross was rubbish... he shouldn't be in the team at the moment.. Smith put in his usual 150 % but where was that against Boro ? during the second half with only Ruud playing up front why was VDS kicking long balls up to him from goal kicks ? the defenders were going to win each of those balls and just play the ball back .. then after that we had a new formation of 4-6 !!!
as Man U did against Arsenal we didn't build on the result and ATM i'm not too confident on us building on this one either
