Ed01, just watched the Liverpool game, apologies for aiming this at you mate, but why do the top teams when they lose and concede late can't accept that it's down to there own shortcomings in defending, Van Dyke is a massive figure and stood around like he didn't know what was happening, he wasn't blocked at all, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the goal, Slot had a different whinge, he thought conceding a late goal was an issue, not because added time wasn't too long but it wasn't enough. Should the ref have carried on after the four allocated minutes until Livy scored.
I am so annoyed that Arteta, Slot and Guadiola can't accept when they lose it's never their fault it's the officials. When the majority of teams have decisions that go against them very little is said. Sadly these whingers are actually just like Fergie, they are working on the next decision hoping to influence the officials. I find it infuriating that the media give them the air time to whinge, the rest of the teams aren't even given lip service
{Ed001's Note - I don't know what to say other than agreeing with you. Football is just about cheating these days and honour and respect is gone.}

Nobody but nobody whinges like Fergie.

Ed I'm sure we are not on our own mate, it's a never our fault from players and coaches/managers alike culture, and you are absolutely right it's a cheating culture, diving and whinging is all to prevalent and it's not restricted to just the top teams throughout football, sadly it's never going to change

Arsenal blamed a ball for a loss and now Liverpool are blaming the wind, it's actually comical some of the things they come out with sometimes.
Not like Van Dijk had two bites of the cherry to stop that first goal and decided to make no effort after the Bournemouth player kept it in.
