I know I'm a moaning git, but I hate Bale. He's a liar and a cheat, surely we have enough of all that nonsense without British players doing it aswell.

Sam Byram made him look like a pub player in the FA Cup at Elland Road last season.

I think Spain would suit Bale, they seem to admire cheats there don't they.

Did you boo when Owen dived in 2002 against Argentina?

Neville summed the cheating issue up very well imo.

I agree with this.

p.s. look in the European Football thread and tell me what you think about doping. http://www.musicbanter.com/1344822-post279.html

It ain't Bale they're after, it's Cesc Fabregas.

There was a story in the tabloids earlier this week about United's unlimited budget (Moyes quoted that) and linked them with transfers for Ronaldo and Bale.

That's what he was referring to.

The Fabregas bid smacks of 'well we tried but the player didn't want to join'.

The Glazers are penny pinching again imo.

I don't really understand how it's possible to hate a player anymore based purely on their tendency for diving. It's a part of the game that angers me, and it helps make a mockery of the sport to outsiders and critics, but every club surely has offenders now? Including your own.

I'm trying to remember who Leeds actually have as their squad seems to have been raided a fair amount over the last few windows. If Diouf still plays for them then he is a far worse type of character than any diver, imo.

Still, I see Duckett's point and Bale does annoy me with the theatrics.

But virtually all players cheat when given the opportunity, it just so happens Bale's ability get's him into those positions more often.

[Cuthbert]

Yeah Diouf still plays for them mate. Paddy Kenny as well, he's a proper diver.

I don't think I hate any players, probably just Rooney. Also Giggs is a bigger twat than John Terry is but gets away with it cos he's had a better career, don't hate him though.

[Newkie]

Myeah I don't really hate anyone, even if I think they're complete scum I'd take them in my side so...

Maybe Cattermole but that's purely because he's a ****e footballer

You must be a bit gutted at not getting Tom Ince last week?

Yes Diouf is still at Leeds, he'll be bench warming this coming season if he's lucky. I agree he is/has been a despicable wanker in his time, he cant half hold a ball up though. He came in handy last season whilst we were playing Neil Warnocks nasty brand of prehistoric hoofball, but I'm pretty sure we'll be playing football this season so I cant see much use for Diuof anymore. You can get 6/1 on Leeds getting promoted this year, not bad odds if you ask me.


Paddy Kenny a proper diver haha. It sounds even funnier when you say it in a Brummie accent doesn't it.

Fabregas would be a really weird signing for United. Not needed.
