Today’s Football 25/26 Season

To be fair Andy Johnson was a diver, but he was also fouled about 7 times that season in the box due to his pace and was even kicked up in the air on one occasion and we still didn't get a penalty.
Andy wasn’t a diver he was capable of what is hilariously known as “dark arts”, manipulating the game to their advantage is a long known game. Salah, Gerrard, Shearer, Beckham, Zlatan, all of these knew where to lean and not to lean or let their body weight take the force of another player.

Arsenal have adopted their in its entirety as did Liverpool last year in their “airlift” to the title. They had an incredible team and won the fine margins using the techniques like I’ve mentioned, the problem is when it’s individuals doing it it’s “he’s a cheat or a diver”, when the entire team is in sync and knows how to crowd the ref, argue for a foul that’s when it’s helpful.
 
Just a bunch of Villa fans allowed there. Crazy stuff. I thought 10% was a must for UEFA events. Since it holds 31000, there should have been at least 3100 Villa fans. By the looks of it, barely 1K there.
 
So envious watching these two tonight, would love to see us in a European semi final we’ve been starved of any true excitement or anything to shout about for decades now.
