the English media

I'm no fan of Ashley young, the man or the player but the furore over Saturday Saturday is hilarious.

Current media darling Chimp boy dived 3 times as much as young has ever been booked for in the last 5 years last season alone but that isn't a problem.

EDUARDO was banned for several games only for it to be overturned when the power that be realized the were opening Pandoras box.

So why the sudden outrage? We had six opportunities last season after chimp boy tried it on to have this outrage but we didn't?

I thought after fergie went all the bitter journos would move on...obviously not.

I haven't got much of a problem with him giving the red due to him giving the penalty, I jut don't like the rule Jay. Penalty is enough of a...well, penalty for me!

Agreed whiteside, looked very good. I can see young being phased out over this season, he hasn't produced it enough for you guys. Shame really as he seems to have all the assets, just doesn't apply them often enough!

Bet he still gets picked for England though

England managers mostly pick players from top sides and there are only a limited number of English players playing in top clubs. If not, Cleverly, Young etc would have found it difficult to get a chance.

Would love to see Redmond get a chance, probably a bit soon though.

Would love to see a load of new players in the next friendly. No point playing Gerrard, Lampard etc in a friendly if England are trying to build a team for the future.

Surely that applies both ways. You can't say, leave one players history in the past but not the one you're comparing him to?

Why not? Young, irrespective of dives, chooses to fall instead of standing. Walcott chooses to stay up instead of falling. Large difference.

I will happily admit that I no longer see Rooney as a diver, even though he was famed for it.

Talk about only the foreigners diving, he's the biggest diver in english football and a disgusting cheat. He cheats when he plays for United and England.
Young missing that penalty in the shootout against Italy in Euro 2012 was KARMA for all the penalties he wins with his diving.

Young was actually our bet attacking player when he went off yesterday, most in the thread were in agreement.

Having said that, I don't think he is good enough for Utd, perhaps as back up.

Care to name all these penalties he'd won by diving

For United, off the top of my head, I can only think of the villa and qpr ones

I wonder if young wins a pen for England in the last minute to qualify for brazil, these hypocrites will come out from underneath their rock?? Probably not, and please Walcott dives left right and centre you hypocritical gooner!

Liverpool could in fact gain ground. But bear in mind after the game on Sunday you will have played villa Swansea stoke Southampton and United.

UNITED will have played Swansea Liverpool Chelsea Man city and crystal Palace. So bit early to get excited when United have played 2 of the big 4 already and an field away.
