yeah but Ramsey's Welsh isn't he, so he is excluded from Arsene's scathing attack

He thinks he can get away with it now he has offloaded that serial cheat Sanchez to United (who was at it again at weekend).

Wilshere doesn't dive simply because he'd end up injured.

Any manager who whines about diving is an absolute hypocrite.

It's a bit like you can't smell your own BO.
He always sees everyone else dives, but never sees the Arsenal ones. What a surprise.

I'm glad more and more people are discussing it, even though tossers like Shearer etc, try to justify it.
The argument that staying on your feet means some pennas aren't given is irrelevant. I'd rather lose a game through a referees mistake, which can happen, than somebody cheating. Why can't they get it.

He's played a blinder here having a right dig at the Spurs players without getting pulled up for it.

Just said on Sky that the stats have more English players booked for diving than all the rest.
As the league is still predominantly English players that is expected but to my mind we are just not very good at it.

Clever mind Games from Wenger highlighting the issue puts extra pressure on the officials any 50/50 calls may go the gooners way at the weekend.
