I don't like this idea of winning at any cost - yes, it means more victories overall but at what cost? Who can be proud of supporting a team that so actively employs those 'dark arts' as the Guardian call them?
They can play some amazing free flowing attacking football when they want, but the rest of the time, I can't even imagine what it must be like when your first thought is conning the ref.
It's not as if it's only them. Look at how much collapsing to the ground after the lightest (or no) touch there is and rolling around as if mortally wounded then springing back up again after the yellow card is dished out you see in football.
Yep, I agree!
I also want to see more holding onto people at corners penalised, and remember when we outlawed surrounding the ref? How long did that last?
