    An introspective one this, not asking to slag off rival players so hopefully no need for the argumentative behaviour that brought down the diving thread. Who is the snidiest shithouse at your own club? General cheating and underhand behaviour so not just diving but card waving, moaning to the ref, tactical fouling etc.

    Ander Herrera by a country mile for us.

    I know this is going to sound like sour grapes (it honestly isn’t) but until last week, it was Sanchez. Like the Chelski boys with Hazard though, none of us got on his back because of what he brought to the team.

    Wilshere can be a bit of a shit at times, as can Xhaka and I really didn’t like seeing Lacazette waving that card last night, but he’s been looking more and more frustrated recently, so hopefully, it was just a one off.

    WG, absolutely agree. herrera is a nasty little shite, a diver and a niggly whingeing hacker all rolled into one.

    Seen about Jose’s contract extension by the way. I’m not a big fan of United, but I have to feel for you guys, nobody deserves this.

    I’m a bit loathe to criticise our players, but I do get annoyed when Chicharito falls to the floor thinking he’s been fouled when the ref shouts play on. Then he sits on his arse with his arms outstretched in protest instead of getting up and helping the team out.

    I also hate seeing players wagging their finger at the lino’s and referees as a way of telling them their decision was wrong. Cant remember who it was in the chelski/le ‘@rse game last night, someone scored and the lino disallowed it. The player wagged his finger at the lino but the replay showed the lino to be correct.

    No real sportsperson wins without trying to pull a fast one at some point.

    Herrera, Mourinho, and Sanchez (apparently) are all integral shithouses to getting us back on top. Just like Ronaldo, Tevez, Nani, Rooney, Young and several others have been over the years.

    I don’t care how winning is done, just get it done if you’re a winner. That’s part of what separates the sportspeople who retire with medals to the the rest.

    As I said Kingo…wasn’t about slagging rivals off, it was about holding your hands up to your own players. Maybe you support a team of angels?

    We’re more than happy with Mourinho by the way, no need for sympathy from whichever club it is you support.

    I can’t condone diving, going down easily is a different matter because at least there is contact, diving is when there’s been no contact and you just flop to the floor like Ashley Young getting deep fried in batter.
    Waving an imaginary card and asking for an opponent to be sent off or carded is reprehensible, according to the rules of the game it should be viewed as both dissent and unsportsmanlike behaviour and so should be a yellow card offense.
    Herrera for us is probably the worst, Mourinho too to be fair.
    Lets be honest, all the top sportsmen flirt with the rules, blur the lines between cheating and playing fairly. It’s rare you don’t find someone who doesn’t use gamesmanship, McEnroe’s outbursts were more to intimidate the umpire and his opponent than out of any real sense of injustice, Seles’ grunts were similar, in rugby union Richie McCaw (possibly one of the greatest ever players) was notorious for playing on the edge, Diego Costa has been called a ‘master of the dark arts’. All the great talents do it, it’s why they are top talents, they have the will to win.
