It's a miracle we didn't lose. Liverpool had one absolute sitter, a few big chances and lots of little chances. Reckon it was our worst performance since Jose joined.

I can’t believe anyone who’s watched a lot of football could think that was anything other than a blatant dive. If whatever panel are adjudicating don’t have the guts to enforce the new ban punishment they might as well abandon the rule here and now.

Yeah diving has always seemed incredibly less binary than people make out to me.
Yeah. I think he knows he's losing his balance and is trying to get a touch on the ball before falling so he has a chance of getting the pen. Like I don't think he could have stayed on his feet had he wanted to, but he was definitely looking for it, so it is still sort of a dive I guess. Who knows if they'll ban him, unlikely imo.

What they really needed to do instead was start giving fouls when the player doesn't go down.

Stopped watching MOTD after the city game because IMO the season is over. Just hand the title to KDB and give his teammates some medals for supporting him.

Watching that city game and feeling such disgust and envy in one swoop has made me sympathetic to their fans plight in the 90s

Yep, and its come through one of my accurate and in now way awful predictions (wonder how that Carroll is getting on at Liverpool anyway)
