well im looking for your justification of you claim wenger made diving acceptbale here. you say you have justified countless times in this thread yet since your claim and my quoting of it, you have made two posts both of which i have quoted.Originally Posted by She Wore A Yellow Ribbon

are you going to justify your claim or just laugh at me for calling you up on something you have no defence too?
how would you like it justified?
he made diving acceptable.
what else is there to say?
wenger today:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/foo...an-divers.html
'foreign players have caused the problem'
wenger was notorious for bringing in foreign players. he today said foreign players dive and caused the problem. so there's my justification.
i actually am lost for words here. i cannot believe you have just used that as your justification. do you realise how fucking stupid you sound?
wenger signed foreginers yes, but before he came here, there were foreigners right? so its not his fault at all. if he signed the first foreginer then yes you have a point but he didnt so you are an idiot
So Wenger said to our foreign player to go and dive did he?
And the irony is that you link to an article where wenger is calling on the FA to punish divers with 3 match bans
To be fair by saying he made diving acceptable you are insinuating that he is happy with the practice
But the quote that foreign players caused the problem indicates otherwise as he quite clearly identifies diving with the word problem.
That does not either really support an argument that by crowding the squad with foreign players Wenger was in fact creating a grand masterplan to win domestic and European glory through the art of diving.
But not matter if you feel you're justified or not, it obviously didnt work as
1) we havent won anything for 7 odd years
2) Wenger couldnt find another ten players quite as skilled in the art as Eboue
No doubt you will tell me I havent read your post correctly, tell you what do yourself a favour and save your breath
who cares if he made diving acceptable. someone had to.
just brings this isolated little island back in line with the rest of europe and makes it one less thing for everyone to laugh at.
no i never said that, excellent fabrication of words once again.
i completely comprehend the fact that there were foreign players in this league prior to wengers arrival and players were diving, but its more the fact that when our players were diving he turned a blind eye to it, which i guess other managers still do, but it was never much of an issue until monsieur arrived. it seemed to increase tend fold afterwards.

Which is not unreasonable. It was more common outside the English league before the 90s - not to say that English lads did not dive - they did, but it was more common in, for instance, Italy.'It’s right that diving has come from foreign players but the English players learned quickly,'
Refs are partly to blame because they have allowed a situation where a forward can deliberately trail a leg or go close to the defender so that they can 'win a penalty'. The very idea of ' winning a penalty' is already wrong - that implies it is OK to do that. (This is not the same as running into the box and taking on a defender so that he is likely to have to foul to stop you - that is legit.)
