I’m sick of our diving, injury fringing and claiming for everything

This never used to be a facet of our team right through the Zabaleta, Kompany, de Jong, Vieira, Kolarov, Fernandinho line of time through the club. Apart from the odd tart, we were were tough, hard, no nonsense, took no shit and just got up and got on with things team.

Now, I’m absolute fucking sick to death of players diving, pretending to be injured and claiming for everything even when it’s blatantly not our ball or foul.

Even players who never used to do it, now do it.

We are by no means anywhere near the worst in the league for it, but it’s a stark contrast to the way we recently used to be.

I don’t like it at all.

Haaland dived 4 times. I don't know why? Maybe it is a test for when we play Arsenal?
It’s not even just tonight, it’s over the last two seasons. Whether it’s diving, pretending to be injured or claiming for fouls or our ball or offsides, I think there’s only Khusanov Stones Aké Gvardiol and Semenyo who don’t seem to do any of it, in the whole squad.

The rest are all either divers, injury feigners or claimers or all three.

Even fucking Rodri was pretending to be inured tonight in the first half when he lost the ball and Forest went on the attack. Fucking Rodri… never seen him do that before.

I used to be really proud of the way we hardly had anyone who did that apart from the odd few.

Calm down. David Silva and Nasri were great at rolling around after being hit.
 
You took that away from tonight’s game?

Are you a Rag in disguise?

Bot or attention seeker, your view of our team is ‘a not right’, in my humble opinion.
A Rag for hating seeing our players do what we despise other teams doing?

Good logic.

I simply preferred our team when they weren’t diving and pretending to be injured. Seems like you’re just a right fucking tart and enjoy Wendyball.
 
Sadly its through out football and until the powers that be do something about it then it will carry on.
Fooking keepers going down "injured" to get a timeout for the team even our keepers started doing that ffs

I agree. Rodri did it a couple of times last night. I think Haaland might have got that penalty if he hadn’t made such a meal of it. He was impeded but did not need a swallow dive.
