    Should stop diving then...
    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

    It's a dive but if you commit to a tackle or leave a leg hanging out in the box you're asking them to play for a penalty. Players like Zaha, Hazard, Robben will take the bait every time. We should know better by now.

    We'd have all been calling for penalties had our players gone down like that on both penalty incidents.
    The second one wasn't a dive in the sense that he wasn't touched and just took a dive, you could argue he "looked for it" but lots of players do in that situation.
    No real complaints about either pel.

    Also Xhaka's not a left back, so criticism of him for that incident is pretty harsh imo.
    You used to be everything to me
    Now you're tired of fighting

    He plays as a deep CM so he should know better than to lunge in on someone inside the box. If he did his research he would know to be especially careful against Zaha. It's not the first time he has given away a clumsy penalty.
