    Phil Neville's yellow was due to Reyes diving at nothing contact. But much like Toure, lets pretend Arsenal don't dive more than anyone else in the league.

    Are you schizophrenic? Sometimes your posts make a lot of sense, and then you throw one in like this that has no basis in reality. Even most of the ManU posters have agreed that Neville's card was for repeated infringement of the rules at a time when the referee was struggling to regain control that was slipping away from him. The Toure' "dive" has been talked about elsewhere. Just for fun, though, after he "dove", did you see Toure' appeal for a penalty? Did you? Because if you did you are the only one here who saw it! Toure' got up and ran back to try and cover.

    Yes it was for repeated fouling but at the time he got booked Reyes flung himself to the ground (Phil gave him some words about it).
    This is a thread where Arsenal fans cry about how hard done by they were. Your team are infamous and got away with more than your share in the game.

    As for Toure, he lay prone for 5 seconds while the United defenders yelled down at him and the stadium ringed with boos then he quickly scampered back into his own half. Hardly casts it in a better light.
