    5500 fans at Swansea, nearly a third of that is Notts County. Fucking pathetic from a PREMIER LEAGUE club.

    That goal he scored for David Moyes against Bayern Munich.

    I think he was at fault for all three of their goals as well.

    Pochettino, the man with the snidest, cheatiest team in the league coming out and saying 'diving is fine, it's a good thing that players cheat the refs, get over it' is not a good look for him. Prepare to see refs finally start picking up on their massive amounts of rotational fouling/fouling to stop a counter/off the ball fouls/diving etc..

    I definitely wouldn't be saying it the week before a game against a team who give away loads of penalties and don't win any.

    It's just a classic Argie mentality. Diving/cheating/feigning injury there are seen as admirable skills and just as much part of the game as passing and shooting. Either you sink to Argie levels or you rise above it.

    I maintain all deliberate fouls anywhere on the pitch should be a straight red and five match ban.

    I agree with it. Start sending them off and it'll cut out pretty rapidly.

    He's right and I've been saying this for years and years. There should never, ever be an incentive to break the rules, especially when it involves performing an act that could hurt an opponent. It also encourages fast attacking play instead of cynical shite.

    I'd also introduce penalty goals in those rarer instances where players are 'taking a red card'. We need more jeopardy, not less.

    Maldini was a centre half by then.

    Maybe it's just those pictures, but the fit/shape look really odd. And the crest is fucking enourmous.

    They've managed to make the '82 tribute one crap as well by using a baseball tee design (or whatever you call it). England kits have been bad for a while. I liked this one:

    It is cheating. That's why you get punished. Just like you do for a handball, which is also cheating.

    Is cheating not doing something where you hope to not get caught? Tactical fouls and deliberate handballs are talking the punishment for a greater advantage when you know you'll be caught.

    Are all yellow card fouls cheating, or just the tactical ones? Or just the tactical ones against your team?

    Based it off this

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007%E...._Milan_season

    He started the 05 final at left back too but the 07 at centre back. I think he did both depending on who was in the squad.

    Not all yellow cards. I'd call cheating anything you intentionally do while knowing it's against the rules.

    Accidentally breaking the rules in an attempt to play the game fairly = fine.

    Deliberately breaking the rules because you think it will gain an advantage compared to playing fairly = not fine and if people are regularly doing it the rules are inadequate.

    Yeah fair, I mean for me cheating is when you lie or deceive or do something with the intention of not being discovered. Rotating fouls isn't a cheat, it's a tactic, and tactical fouls are perfectly reasonable defending. I don't fuck with diving but I also don't think it needs to be as big of a deal as people make it. I won't crawl into Poch's anus and claim that regulating that kind of behavior will kill the game though...

    'Cheating' isn't a great word in football really, I'd say cheating is if you do something that's outside the game i.e. sneak a 12th player onto the pitch. I guess Poch's point is that he thinks diving is an integral part of football (which is very much the case in Latin America where he comes from) whereas Sean Dyche's Brexit Boys think it isn't anything to do with football.

    If you watched a few South American/Arab league games you might change that view. In some (mainly hot) countries it's literally a game of who can go 1-0 up and run the clock down. Refereeing very hot blooded as well, let everything go unless you touch the star player/number 10 and then it's a red card.
