What the xlip doesnt show is Agger thundering across the pitch at 100 miles an hour with a malevelent intent. In those circumstances t is not unreasonable to take evasive action.
No, I simply don't want them to cheat, dive and attempt to gain unfair advantage from the game. Besides bringing the game into disrepute it also certainly isn't the Tottenham way. Don't give a fcuk if they go to church or Sunday or smoke zol.
the Tottenham way.hmmmmmm
i see now why so many object to the idea of Mourinho ever managing Spurs.
bring back Ossie!!
Look at the clip, steff - Bale goes to the ground having been caught which never actually happened?
When did Mourinho ever encourage cheating, mate?
Arc - we will clearly have to disagree with each other on this. Please dont label a player a cheat though for trying to protect himself. That is my final word on the subject
are you being serious? Mourinho's teams have never bent the law?
wow
Can someone do a slow motion of that clip if possible?
I think it comes down to the old principle of - you see what you want to see and vice versa. Fair enough we all percieve things our own way and this kind of topics always tend to divide fans so agreement would never be reached.
Simply want the thread preserved so if this happens against us the ones condoning his actions now should then bend over and take it if it comes our way too. Fair enough, ne ces't pas?
Playing ugly and playing unfair are two different aspects
I'll tell you what makes me laugh the most, there's an entire thread on a 'dive' which I, and some others, don't think was a dive, Bale is getting blasted again, yet I saw no outpouring of 'disgraceful behaviour' comments over Benny's absolutely shocking challenge on that poor lad from Wigan Di Santo. That was awful, and him avoiding a ban for that was the first break we've had in months from the men in black. I love Benny and would never say he meant to 'do' another player, but THAT sort of challenge is bang out of order IMHO and one I was unhappy to see a Spurs player doing...

i never once saw Mourinho drop or sanction Drogba for diving and feigning injury during his time at Chelsea
Depends. If one is cheating to gain an unfair advantage then that cannot be condoned. In my view this just simply wasnt the case here.
Part of the reason for that is the fact Lescott and RVP were recently overlooked so at the very least number of fans felt - Benny's was no worse?
At least that is my explanation
