Farke didn't have an issue with his own team and their ridiculous time wasting though, did he?That's just not true though. There has been widespread coverage over Arsenal doing it and complaints around it.
The Leeds manager highlighted it in his press conference, something he had every right to do and the media have commented on his words. This sense that we are being picked on for doing it is entirely in the heads of the posters claiming that is the case. If we adopt a shitty unsporting Arteta tactic then we should expect to be called out on it and cannot complain when that happens.
Thats just daft,.have a word with yourself mate, listening to Murphy in the first place has put you on the wrong pathNow that we've done it, I suspect it'll be outlawed, so that's Arsenal fecked
Murphy had a reasonable suggestion on MOTD. If the keeper needs treatment, an outfield player has to do the 30 seconds off the pitch
I don't remember the same level of vitriol aimed towards Arsenal or any other club when the likes of Martinez and Pickford in particular have done this on regular occasions or a headline article on the BBC which is opened up for the usual fuckwits to comment on for good measure.That's just not true though.

Dias was waving at him from half way to go down for a while whilst checking if the referee was watching.Did anybody notice who gave Donnarumma the nod to go down or was it pre planned during HT ?
You raised the points I was going to highlight.Exactly. There are two things that we did in the game that I don't think should be allowed. Bernardo backing into their keeper for Gvardiol's goal, and the time-out fake injury. But they are allowed, and other teams (*cough* Arsenal *cough*) have been doing it regularly for ages. It's up to the lawmakers to deal with these things.
But yeah, the rank hypocrisy of it suddenly becoming a big story the second we do it isn't lost on me. It's the latest in a long line though, like 'time-wasting' from goalkeepers or the 'tactical fouls' from Fernandinho. Hell, perhaps we can use it to our advantage. Start taking 30-40 seconds over a long throw and it'll be banned in no time.
What I found funny was they got back to 2-2 and we were rocking if they had gone for the winner there was a good chance they get the 3 pointsEspecially ridiculous given how much they were time wasting throughout the game. Fuckin inter breeders
Have a look at the 5th article on the BBC Sports Website.That's just not true though. There has been widespread coverage over Arsenal doing it and complaints around it.

I saw far more coverage of Arteta using it than I have about donnarumma in truth.I don't remember the same level of vitriol aimed towards Arsenal or any other club when the likes of Martinez and Pickford in particular have done this on regular occasions or a headline article on the BBC which is opened up for the usual fuckwits to comment on for good measure.
Personally I don't like it, but I like it even less when it's been done against us numerous times without any hysteria but is headline news the first time we do something others have been doing for years.
Farke conveniently forgot that one of his own players faked a head injury, yet the media decided not to pick up in that.
I don't remember headline articles in the media on any occasion Arteta's mob have done it, just accepted as the norm and laughed off as "Dark Arts"I saw far more coverage of Arteta using it than I have about donnarumma in truth.
fact is, we are guilty of it, therefore any criticism aimed our way for using it is entirely justified even if it was massively over-emphasised compared to others.
Considering none of us like it, if more focus is put on it which leads to change to prevent it hapoening in the future then surely that is a good thing anyway?
Happened in 2021 when Bernardo scored against Villa after Rodri won a tackle from an offside position to set him up and the law was changed.Have a look at the 5th article on the BBC Sports Website.
The "Lawmakers" are apparently looking at changing the rules on a goalie going down, if injured ?
I didn't realise the "Lawmakers" worked on the Sabbath ?
I agree that City should play within the laws.
But, it's an amazing coincidence how this has gained so much publicity, so quickly...
Funny that other teams have been doing it for years and the first time we do it there's uproar
He'll be sacked soon so he won't have to worry about it for too much longer.Strangely Farke never noticed his own player polishing the ball for a good thirty seconds before each long throw at two a piece. Strangely he could chuck just as far without a shine on it after the third went in.
