This is currently making me chuckle http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24819018

the death knell of rep of ireland as a half credible team

And Liverpool fans know a death knell coming when the hear one.

Pierlo or Alonso?

There aren't enough chevrons in the world for Ashley Young.

^This

Don't suppose he'll get the same level of shit the cunt that is Suarez gets- who is at least very good.

I'll place a 10er now on Manchester City not making it through the group.

Anyone want to take that?

Done.

Pellegrini's record in the Champions League is excellent and part of the reason they hired him.

Send me your paypal.

sky sports Young was brought down... I beg do differ the little shithouse

o'neill bad cop
keane bad bad cop

ruh-roh

He really is a cheating prick. But because he is English the papers don't make too big a deal of it. Not like that nasty little foreigner who plays for us.

don't let it get to you mike
justice will be served eventually
he'll end up back at villa
a deserving punishment

Has always been this way. Think 'ittle Mickey Owen.

he just had centre of gravity issues

and Andy Johnson

He must be up there with Robben and Suarez as the worst Premier League divers of all time.
Not sure who the worst is/was. I think it has to be Robben

shall we do this again ?

drogba

At least Robben's dives had a certain elan. Young doesn't even bring that degree of art to his cheating.

oh yes Drogba. How could I have forgotten him. Shame on me

elan
so the more fancy your dive the more acceptable it is

suarez goes down like he's been shot
surely he gets repped for that

he only lacks the bags of fake blood for that ultra realistic gunshot look
maybe he could have some gunshot holes in his pocket ready to apply

I also think that Suarez gets talked about because he's good. Young on the other hand...

How does he do that to his leg? its almost the start of a Tina Turner dance!

I used to quite enjoy Drogba's "headshot" dives - at least it looked like he might have worked on them in training or attended a local am-dram group. Young just doesn't get it, not only does it actually have to look credible, but there does have to be some contact!

Neymar and Young currently neck-and-neck for 2013/14 "slip-n-slide shitbag" award.

Garry Bale seems to have toned it down a bit in Madrid, disappointing.

One of my favourite dives of all time

good save
