Unfortunately, because they are made up mostly of international players, they do not receive the same treatment or appreciation similar to that of ManU or even LP. I supposed it's understandable that the media and the referees have a certain shared unwritten agenda to protect teams with english players as they (media & referees) are gearing up to put England as the favourite for the coming 2010 world cup. I think english players, like any other nationalities, do stuff that are unbecoming of 'professional footballers'. You just need to look at those various clips on youtube to know that. I wished that players like John Terry, Rooney and Stevie wouldn't have gone on record to say how clean and professional are the english players as it made them looked like hypocrates. I do beleive that referees would never book them for diving however blatant the dives are. I wish the referees know that the world is watching and are smart enough to see the biasness they practice in protecting the english players. I always see how Rooney treats referees and most of the time gets away unpunished. Lets hope that EPL will not lose its credibility due to the biasness of referees. It will indeed be sad. May arsenal continue to exhibit its classy football and the trophies will come their way. Realise why I used '..wasn't a fan of any particular team..'?

What a waste of a sub. I remember when he subbed Nasri on in the Euros at half time, only to haul him off 15 minutes later. What a waste of a sub.

That guy is such a loon that nothing is certain.... I think the French should make it through, unless of course Domenech announces his divorce via a pre-game press conference.

Diving has been in the game as long as I can remember. Players dive for so money reasons: To avoid contact, to get a player in trouble, or to get a free kick. When you start blaming foreigners though, it is easier to get a reaction from everyone who has grievances about the makeup of any team they don't support. I remember Allan Pardew claiming in 2006 when Arsenal was playing Barca for the Champions League final that there was no English team in the final anyways. Look at pundit after pundit lining up to praise Chelsea and ManU for being the eventual winner of PL this year. We are second in the league, but invisible somehow. Edwardo still insisted that he had been touched during the incident and I believe him. The Scottish involved in every level of the game in media, FA, or UEFA somehow couldn't come to terms with the fact that Celtic had already lost the home game 2-0 then. They were simply deluding themselves that Celtic might come back. That created such a fire storm as if Edwardo dives for a living. UEFA also had its Knee jerk reaction as if they could monitor and punish retrospectively. Now Ngog is French, so goes the crying foriegner bloody murder crowd! Edwardo had a penalty shout against Wolves, do you think he gets the benefit of the doubt? Did Ashley Cole went up in the air and went down as if he was shot against ManU to get the free kick that created the goal? Has anyone calling him out on it? I don't think so. @Mark Griffin, You are absolutely spot on. Diving has been in the game as long as I can remember.
