It didn’t help that the N’Gog “penalty” was committed by Carsley, who looks like he should appear as Thug #2 in a Guy Ritchie flick.

He actually makes some good points and doesn’t dispute that Ngog went down theatrically, rather that under the rules the ref can call it a penalty. http://twitter.com/christoy

@Georger. Thats just outrageous. Thats the way to lose all credibility instantly. Studs Up have just been deleted in my favorites.

Paul Tomkins and the cat that runs Studs Up both think it was a penalty.

Goat, they play Wolves, Porto (Mourinho Bowl!), Arsenal and Citeh in the next month. Only player on any of those sides that would do it is Bellamy. And I hope he does. But that Citeh lose.

@Keith: I wished there was more gamesmanship like that in the Prem. That sounds f**king hilarious.

Little known fact: wet grass is the most likely cause of most season-ending injuries in professional soccer. Second most likely–Birmingham City.

One commenter at the esteemed Guardian claims that Ngog’s leap wasn’t a dive because he was afraid of jumping the tackle and landing on the wet grass.
