Both great achievements. Barce are clearly better than Ajax (when they play well....) but equally Spurs did it away from home

So pleased for Kompany - he is a class act and Mr Man City

So Salah goes off and this time it is Fabinhos turn to blatantly dive against The Toon (remember the Salah swan dive in the return fixture....). Fabinho should be banned now for conning the linesman....

Newcastle away is a possible banana skin - ask City....

Kudos to Siggurdson for staying on his feet in the Liverpool derby. Showed how fair play works

Add another big game to the tally that Salah has been ineffectual - Shaw totally owned him today and the fact Klopp took Salah off when Mane was having a shocker speaks volumes.

Gayle is now up for a retrospective ban

I'm not a Liverpool fan so haven't seen all their matches. But I just took a look at the LFC rating site for players and Mane has been MOM last two matches vs Salah rated as 5 which is how I saw it....

Fair summary from what I've seen. Firminho has been been poor in most of the games I have watched (on tv!) and Shakiri hasn't been as strong a replacement as I expected. Sturridge is clearly out of...

Strange game tonight. West Ham played well and Liverpool didn't really turn up. Bizarrely LFC could have won with two offside goals if Origi had finished with the last kick of the game. VAR can't...

Well I've seen some strange things in football, but the ref allowing Liverpool to get away with just clearing snow at half time from the penalty area they would be attacking in the second half was...

He was shown a yellow card in the Wolves game on 28th Dec for a dive that wasn't as clear as any of the Salah ones, albeit in fairness Harry isn't whiter than white in this debate..

That's the...

I define diving as anytime a player goes down in a clearly exaggerated fashion. As I've posted before, it's a contact game and you shouldn't get a penalty just for receiving contact in the penalty...

Yep the whole MOTD crew condemned it and ironically he's now taken a dive in both the home and away legs against Palace this season. I'd also add that whilst I think it WAS a clear penalty against...

I was talking to a friend in the US who had a live feed of the game. Zaha had Milner on toast and a gift from Speroni cost them. Apparently another shocking dive from Salah too but the ref bottled...

Except in the context of a discussion over whether a team "bottled it" or not it's highly relevant to use a broader basis for discussion.

Bit harsh - they played quite well in the second half and it just wasn't their day against a side finally turning their season around. A draw would have looked a fairer reflection of the game which...

He nibbled for sure. But no way was there enough contact for him to fall over or frankly break stride, so he dived in the same way that Lovren did to make it look worse for the referee. It's a...

Nothing wrong with trying to rid our game of diving. I'd make it a condition that all prem teams have to have a big screen and show the big incidents referred to TMO like rugby. Diving would reduce...

Everton aren't in League 1 and I made it clear I have no bias in the prem. I support Coventry and am clearly able to be far more subjective about Salah cheating than Liverpool fans who worship the...

I don't follow Liverpool so don't watch many of their games.

But Arsenal was a dive - nowhere near enough contact to do down and the general cosnsensus was it was a soft penalty. In fact the...

Yep, total cheat

The one against Newcastle was a shocking dive. He should have been banned for the Arsenal and Man City games which would ironically have stopped him from diving again against Arsenal.

If there...

The Lacazette one was a pen - the defender (Clyne??) took a swipe at the ball and kicked Lacazette on the end of the boot instead. Would have been a sore one with the modern lightweight boots that...

Liverpool deserved to win but flattering scoreline.

Two super soft penalties where Liverpool players threw themselves to the ground - Salah is one of the worst culprits for that, bet he wouldn't...
