Comments on: Cheaters never prosper, Mr Wenger http://www.sportsleader.co.za/lunganizama/2009/08/31/cheaters-never-prosper-mr-wenger/ Thu, 17 May 2012 13:45:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2 By: Lungani Zama http://www.sportsleader.co.za/lunganizama/2009/08/31/cheaters-never-prosper-mr-wenger/#comment-6827 Lungani Zama Wed, 02 Sep 2009 08:02:59 +0000 http://www.sportsleader.co.za/lunganizama/2009/08/31/cheaters-never-prosper-mr-wenger/#comment-6827 Bongani - the entire league is full of con artists. Drogba even admitted to it a while back. But even the likes of 'honest professionals ' like Gerrard and Rooney fall very easily in the box. What makes Arsenal's case a farce is that Wenger is defending it, saying that there was contact and even that Eduardo's psychological scars from last year's injury made him 'take evasive action'. Wenger supposedly doesn't see a lot of his team's crimes, but you would have thought even he would have a word to his team about it. Henri - my humble apologies. MKT - Rooney was going nowhere, the ball was lost and so he conveniently tumbled into Almunia. It's just as much cheating as Eboue's nonsense, but every time a keeper dives in and does not get the ball, its a penalty. I would assume Rooney had this in mind as he pushed the ball past him. And yes, they were very, very lucky. Bongani - the entire league is full of con artists. Drogba even admitted to it a while back.

Lucky United were fortunate as usual to grab 3 points last saturday, at least we agree on this point. Why do you refer to Wayne Rooney’s dive as a mere ” convenient tumble” ??

Arsenal play very attractive football and were desperately unlucky to lose on saturday, aided and abeted by some dodgy decisions from the referee and his assistants.
