'Even allowing for inflation, this thread is not worth 198 Terry Francises' - EPL 2017-18

Bale, fyi, never dived.

This attempt at humour is beneath you, deems.

Post a bale dive and ill demonstrate to you how it is an example of an incredible athlete operating at the edges of human balance, power and speed with a cheating opponents thumb on the scales

I've no real partisan edge here btw Alli is a diving lil cunt

But the continuum of contact/foul has a corollary for 'dive' and once you're not inventing contact it's not a dive imo, short of throwing yourself to the ground as a choice (see kanes left leg today for ex, but again the dive that is an avoidance of a clear foul is a different thing again)

I remember this one, boy, do I remember it, Bale vs. thuggish toddler, Shaun Maloney.

No compilations thks x

As an irishman i see a pretty clear video of a scotch person tripping a Welshman there is there a question

all this clueless "I was just putting in an honest hoof when he sneakily inserted his body in the way" from vvd is v funny.

Eyes on ball, leg small, no peno

under the small leg act introduced by was it the Lloyd George govt I seem to recall

Or did they attempt it but the general strike and the redmondite faction prevented its introduction.

After world war two it was definitely in place maybe it came in as a sub in a wider piece of legislation idk

The small leg eyes on ball hardly kicked him at all clause ah yes

it was a soft knock but it was a knock on a player in a good position

Lamela is v slight and has bad hips

Also despite actually rolling into a ball and flinging himself at u like sonic

I still don't think you're allowed to kick him

"he managed to get himself in the way" is weak indeed. funny how certain players just seem to get their body in the way eh?

need to introduce a rule for these players who deliberately get themselves kicked

Is there a specific explanation for Lawro's attire?

Even when suits were compulsory on MotD, he never wore a waistcoat and stripes like that.

Is it some kind of meta-commentary-response to the previous week when he was infamously wearing a cap and bright red gloves, which he said on Saturday's 606 he had bought at a motorway service station on the way to Cardiff?

quite a rare treat for lawro to be on motd these days, I think he wants to make a good impression

Lloyd George is looking a bit moribund these days.

Panda, did you see Lawro in his cap last week? Half of twitter said he was on Peaky Blinders.

This season truly has it all: a Dele Alli 'sex tape' leaked. (click at your own peril

Chelsea awful - Bakayoko sent off for two yellows after 28 minutes.
