    Maybe a bit unlucky that he's the one being picked on, however it was an absolute woeful dive plus it's only fair they start with an Arsenal player I guess.

    They might as well just ban all Portugese players from European football.

    there are different levels of diving

    Eduardo's dive wasn't the same as drawing a foul or going down easily, it was a cynical dive and the way he celebrated after the penalty (plus the gleeful grin to himself when it was awarded) was particularly sickening.

    IT's not a joke Tweedel, perhaps it should have happened sooner and perhaps it could have happened to a different player, but that doesn't mean Eduardo should get away with it.

    What this will do is set a precident that will hopefully begin to see this sort of thing die out. I'm happy with that.

    I'm quite happy to see players being made calpable but this happens all the time, so why suddenly discipline a player for it now?

    because it was the most disgusting thing to have happened in football ever.

    It's not as though he's a first choice player or someone you will miss.

    The most surprising thing about this whole incident is that Wenger didn't see it
