...............become such a diving, cheating, conniving team? They go down quicker than a girl up Queens (RIP)!  To be honest I've always quite liked the perennial nearly men but, since they have become good, the behaviour has definitely become worse. Is it symptomatic of how to succeed in this league and something we never learned or indeed wanted to learn? P.S. I don't want us ever to become like that! |

Spot on mate and the players that represent England make it so hard to back them with these cheating fuckin antics whilst playing for Tottenham |

Have you only just noticed this. In our 10 year PL stay they have been constantly going over very easy, all the lightweight midfielders they had and Mr bale (rolling champion). Crouchy when a Spur won numerous non existent free kicks.
A very good team but always good at getting free kicks.

Delli Ali & Danny Rose have always been right up there with the worst offenders for diving & cheating, it's nothing new.

Just seemed more prevalent today, Rose especially. Maybe it was more obvious because the ref gave us fuck all!  |

Rose is a c@#t of the highest order....
Dele Ali....well....we've become that accustomed to his theatricals, it's getting boring....
But Kane was the one who surprised me??? I didn't expect it from him!!!

The same as Adam falling over for free kicks, Shaqiri diving when not touched, Ramadan yesterday when trying to con a penalty...
EVERY team in the PL does it.

Not quite "always" but they are certainly responsible for introducing the behaviour into the English game through the personage of the much vaunted Jurgen Klinsmann who was the archetypal diver. |

U can't blame the players really. If they're allowed to get away with it they'll keep on doing it. The blame has to be laid squarely at the door of the piss poor referees we have in this country. The so called professionals, with the big team bias.

Is it symptomatic of how to succeed in this league and something we never learned or indeed wanted to learn? P.S. I don't want us ever to become like that! The main reason I did not renew my season ticket in 2011 was because of this. Not often I can even bring myself to watch a game of nogger these days, but the Utd/City game caught my attention while I was at my gym yesterday, that much so that I had to stop my workout and focus on the footie. The last 15 mins did not disappoint though: diving, cheating, time wasting and all the things that make the game utterly painful to watch. I did manage to watch a full 45 minutes of football though - so I was quite proud of myself  Would have to change drastically for me to come back full-time though - sadly the game is getting worse and is ran by cheats and played by them |

Interesting use of the word always. In the days of Blanchflower and Co, I'd say Spurs were as honest a side as you could hope to see - then again most of the teams in English football were at that time. Obviously the game was much more physical than it is now and ref's turned a blind eye to challenges that would be red cards these days - but diving didn't really exist in English football to any large extent until we started to import foreign players. |

This is what ruins the premier league atm. Until the day we have referrers who grab their own BOLLOCKS and start to stamp it out it will only get worse. The referees are whores to the top teams and the media that surrounds them.
It's pathetic and ruins games, Danny rose gets a tackle and is rolling round holding his face what's that about...cheating scum

I believe the collective noun term for them is " a fanny of spurs players".

I still dont know how they didnt take an undeserved penalty kick yesterday as usual, I think they have training for diving.

When they realised they'll never win anything til they use every tactic including cheating possible.
Prem is win at all costs, that is what made me think long and hard before I renenwed. By the same token Watford playing for 42 mins is just as bad.
