Let’s Hope Saturday’s Ref Was Watching Arsenal Tonight!
Republik Of Mancunia: A Manchester United Blog —
After Arsenal took the lead at Old Trafford the season before last through an Emmanuel Adebayor handball, let’s hope whoever is refereeing on Saturday keeps an eye out for Arsenal striker Eduardo, who shamelessly dived against Celtic in their crucial Champions League match this evening. The way they’re playing at the moment, we could do without them having any unfair advantages!

Some Of The Best Arsenal Games!
11Reds : The Unofficial Manchester United Blog —
With hardly any news coming up today, we at 11Reds decided to start setting up the stage to the Arsenal game on Saturday. There is a considerable amount of excitement in the air as this is the first ‘big’ game of the as-yet fledgling season. Both Arsenal and Manchester United warmed up to the game with massive wins over the weekend. Arsenal predictably booked their passage to the Champions League main draw by humbling Celtic 5-1 on aggregate in the mid-week round of games, albeit an Eduardo dive soured the result for them a little bit. Today, we look back at some of the best Arsenal games over the last few years. Indulge yourself by ...

You might have seen the rather outrageous dive by Arsenal’s Eduardo which gave the Londoners the lead from the penalty spot against Celtic in the Champions League yesterday. What’s unusual is that ...
St James' Park Beckons
For Girls Who Can't Do Football —
That time has come. After getting so close to hallowed turf during our holiday, those foxy boys are going to follow in my footsteps next Monday, and grace the interior of St James' Park. I can't believe I'm so excited. I think it will be a really tough and tight match. Our away form to date has not been bad but this will be a real test. We may come out with a spring in our step. Or should that be dribble. Then again our confidence may take a dive. Like some others we might mention. ...
VIDEO: Eduardo getting grilled for dive
The Beautiful Game —
This has to be the worst in a while. As bad as the leg break. Especially considering Arsenal was up 2-0 aggregate, with about a 2% chance of dropping out to Celtic. A ban might be in the works. Totally deserved for my money. ...
Eduardo's flop, Wenger's rant
NY Post: Soccer: Extra Time —
Arsene Wenger blew his top after UEFA charged Eduardo over his alleged obvious dive in Wednesday's Champions League qualifier against Celtic, calling it a "witch-hunt'' and "not defendable.''
He's convinced himself _ and is trying to convince everybody else _ that Eduardo is being signalled out because of the media and the number of influential Scotsat in UEFA. If the Croatia striker is found guilty, he could be banned for two Champions League tilts.
"I find it a complete disgrace and unacceptable. We won't accept the way we have been treated in this case for two reasons. I believe that you can debate whether it was ...
Wenger’s ‘Anti Football’ Tirade Is Disrespectful
11Reds : The Unofficial Manchester United Blog —
It would seem, with all the comments, reactions, proclamations and declarations doing the rounds, that United’s victory over Arsenal is the first time in the history of football that a team playing better football lost on the day. I have no qualms in admitting that Arsenal were the better team during a major stretch of the game. They were more likely to score, they looked the hungrier side and they had more intent about them. Arshavin’s goal was extremely impressive and if their first-half domination was anything to go by, they looked very much like steamrolling us. However, football is not always about being the ...
UEFA Bans Arsenal Cheat Eduardo
Fanhouse Soccer —
by Brian Straus Filed under: European Soccer, English Premier League Much of what we all detest about modern soccer exists because the authorities who control the game do nothing. Clubs whose fans sing racist songs are slapped on the wrist, cheaters who dupe the referee escape without penalty (and are celebrated in some cultures), the same wealthy teams repeatedly run roughshod over the opposition and MLS continues to allow every club to play in all-white uniforms. Now, Michel Platini is riding to the rescue. When it's all said and ...
Diving: A Cardinal Sin?
EPL Talk —
Much has been said about Arsenal striker Eduardo da Silva’s dive against Celtic during last Wednesday’s 2nd leg of the Champions League pre-qualifier. One split-second incident has led to questions about Michael Platini’s proposed system of 5 referees, TV technology, retrospective charges and just exactly what is it that constitutes a dive. Ultimately the player has received, as expected, a two-game ban. Is this wise or fair?
Arsene Wenger even claimed that Eduardo did not in fact dive at all suggesting that, still mindful of the horrific leg-break he suffered during a challenge ...
