Should Becchio have been give a top flight chance? (video)

How many times has a player looked superb in the lower divisions, but never cut it at the top level.  Jason Scotland, David Nugent and Robbie Earnshaw are just three examples of players who never really made this leap as confidently as they might have done.

I want more diving! (video)

It may not be a popular argument but I would be devastated the day that diving was completely removed from the modern game.  Sure it sours the beauty and it’s ridiculous watching grown men cheat.  But therein lies its own beauty.

Celebrations aren’t what they used to be (video)

In the aftermath of the first taste of Champions League we’ve had in a long time, much was made of José Mourinho’s knee slide. It was truly one of the best managerial celebrations in recent years.  However I put this down to the lack of decent celebrations more than the specialness of the Special One.
