I'd take the 1-0, obviously I'd prefer to score without the need of cheating but we're in the big league now and you do what you have to, to win

1-0 for me, but not because of a dive, but because he stays on his feet and puts it across goal where we have at least two people waiting
If he over hits it but keeps it low, fair enough, he was in the prime position to create a match winning opportunity and he squandered it to look fancy.
He's our best and worst attacking outlet at the same time

Arsenal. Sanchez has just been breathed on by a West Brom player on the edge of the area and fallen over.
This is as much a dive as what our player did. But nobody says owt.
Double standards!
And five minutes later, West Brom player gets brought down in the area. As an honest player, he gets back up again and the ref gives nowt.
And you wonder why players cheat!
And now Arsenal score from a free kick, won with a blatant dive. Yes there was contact but it's a dive.
These tossers have been cheating for decades and we get one yellow card for a dive and get pilloried on Match of the Day.

Pulis had some balls and stood up and called it out. We get more stick from one player diving for the first time ever than a player and a team who have a history of chequered decisions. Their fans were also quiet, telling.
