From a fan who's watched Ronaldo and Nani over the years. There was minimal contact and Jags definately puts his leg into Makoun but to flag it up, like you have, with some of the antics that go on this is way down the list.

Ronaldo and Nani dive (btw so does Rooney and Evra) so a United fan can't have an opinion on it? Let's be honest, if it was Drogba, Nani, Wilshire or Gerrard that cheated it would be all over the papers saying how diving is getting out of hand. A dodgy, marginal decision on the goal line does not condone cheating.

I think cheating to directly effect a result is as high up on "the list" as you can get

Norwich keep on winning in the Championship. A terrific season for them, not to forget that they only came up from League 1 last year.

Not as good a season as QPR though.

How bad is that statue?

Impressed by City yesterday, they seemed to play with a lot more pace than I've seen recently. Helped in no small part by Sunderland's woeful defending but you still have to do it don't you? Impressed (as ever) by Kompany as well, such a solid defender and also comes across as a non-kn0bhead too which is refreshing in this day and age.

Going to be a heck of a lot of players suspended if this is the route the FA are going down.
It would be 100% understandable if it were aimed at the referee or other officials as plenty of players do, but it was aimed at a cameraman who was nosing around while he was trying to celebrate a winning goal in a massively unlikely comeback. It would be ridiculous whoever this charge was brought up against. I don't seem to remember him getting a ban for playing for England when he swore at the camera.
