Tottenham winger Gareth Bale:
"It's a vital win for us. We have put pressure on the other teams around us and it was a great performance from us. We got the two goals which we thoroughly deserved and won the game positively. This is the same again - three times now I've been clipped and I've been booked for no reason. People keep saying I dive but if you're clipped it's not a dive. Referees just have to look a bit closer."
Anyone got a clip of the dive?
Lukaku should have started for West Brom. You might as well attack their defence with everything.
RVC to score a last-minute winner?
:popcorn:Quote:
Ryan Heatly on Twitter: "Still can't believe people can call that a dive. Awful stuff. Gareth Bale being victimised again."
RVP will win it for them, that's fairly assured by now.
In the meantime: Man Utd's defence. :haha:
Feel a bit sorry for Bale tbh, this McCarthyesque witchhunt against "diving" is going to work against skilful players in the EPL. I understand why players go to ground in these situations, because otherwise referees don't give a penalty/free kick.
Today, I thought it was a penalty, there was contact with the knee and Gardner's arm also goes out and catches him. Sure, he doesn't "need" to go down, but most players would do the same as him.

I don't feel sorry for him at all (he gets defended enough as it is). As a great man once said, "stay on your feet".
Contact shouldn't equal a pelanty anyway. Sort it out FIFA.
Wouldnt call that a diveQuote:

True he doesn't get criticised by the press as much as someone like Suarez (who despite being a twat has been unfairly denied multiple penalties because he's considered a "diver"). And he has definitely dived in the past (against us last season at the Emirates) but this one today wasn't a dive IMO.Quote:

More from Tottenham winger Gareth Bale:
"That's the third time now I've been clipped and booked for no reason again. There's nothing I can do, the referees need to look a bit closer. People think I'm diving when there's contact. If there's contact it's a penalty or free kick, there's nothing I can do. If there's contact, what do you want me to do - hit my head on the floor? I have to put my hands down to protect myself. If people kick me, I'm going to go down. It doesn't bother me, people keep saying I'm diving but it doesn't bother me whatsoever. It's a foul and I know it myself."

GOAL - Norwich 0-1 Manchester City - Edin Dzeko
Manchester City have set their stall out early at Carrow Road. Sergio Aguero floats a ball from right to left for Carlos Tevez to cushion a pass into the path of Edin Dzeko. the big striker makes no mistake with a neat side-foot finish. Superb goal.
BBC :doh:
Arsenal :haha:Quote:

That's just as bad as diving or any other piece of villainy introduced by foreigners.
I'm sure it was laughed off.
