That dive from Welbeck was shocking, the English really are becoming the leaders in world football for producing drivers imo. They can't keep blaming "foreigners brought this into the Premier league."

Everyone mocks uefa about these fifth officials how are they still being used when every round I see one of them miss an obvious decision like that right under their nose. Please get rid of them ffs.

They played quite well in patches in first half and had two glorious chances to take the lead. Fluffed them then CSKA scored a really good goal to take lead just before HT. OL rather disjointed in second half and CSKA built lead they were able to defend although Lyon had a couple of late chances. Poor defence really from Lyon and poor passing in the second half.

Arsène Wenger promised he would talk to Danny Welbeck if he felt the Arsenal striker was guilty of diving. The manager said he did not see the 38th-minute flashpoint

Of course he didn't

Pundits used to say any kind of diving was cheating (which it is).

Now, if an attacker leaves his legs out to catch a defender and goes down, they say he was 'clever' and that the defender shouldn't have given him that 'reason to go down'. Yeah well, it's still diving.

Why is there a load of game postponed the weekend?

Seriously don't understand it. It's become accepted. A measly yellow card as punishment for costing a team a world Cup, a European cup, a league title, Relegation which may lead to liquidation is actually accepted now as acceptable. There's no initiative from anyone to actually cut cheating out of the sport, it's why I really don't care about the sport anywhere, I watch my hands and very little else now.

Haha couple of wins and it's back. Amazing how he saw a lot of the 'bad' decisions against them recently. The dive could be seen from outer space. Even Welbeck wouldn't care if he just told the truth, so why even lie?

Snow is coming back.

Worse than last time?

thought that was a clear foul in the build up to spurs' goal.

Absolutely agree. Bad miss by the ref.

Sessegnon is decent, very composed on the ball for such a young lad, interesting see where he'll end up in the summer.
