• To all AM members and guests.

    For the start of the new season, Arsenal Mania has relaunched the news side of the site. All articles are written by genuine Arsenal fans with no hidden agenda. You can visit the site via the menu at the top of the forum pages or go direct to our homepage

    Additionally, Arsenal Mania is now sending all its registered members a bi-weekly Briefing Bulletin containing a digest of news and views from both parts of the site. Some of you may have already received the first edition and those that haven't should do so before the big kick off against United. If you are a guest visitor to this forum then if you join as a member, you will automatically receive the Bulletin.

    Please support both these initiatives and help ensure the long term future of our site.

Very important for the future and trajectory of this club. If he is indeed a world beater the amount of exposure and marketing Arsenal will get will be insane. He really has the potential to elevate this club to the next level if he remains loyal and fulfil his talent.

There's a difference between winning pens or free kicks and outright diving.

I don't think diving has a place in the game, it's flat out cheating. I certainly wouldn't be happy if an opponent dived against us to win a major decision nor do I want to see Arsenal players engaging in it.

You're not going to get away with diving too often with VAR anyway.
I call what pl players do every week diving personally, I’ve never tumbled like that when playing the game. Everyone’s looking for contact and then going down. It’s essentially a skill, those who fail to predict the contact to go down under are simply worse at it and get exposed for the cheating every single serious attacker engages in every week.

Way I see it anyway.

Jealous weirdos.

Don’t get me wrong I’m not gonna let some kid make a mockery of me if he takes me on 1v1 but some of the fouls are just completely unnecessary.

No grown man is trying to be embarrassed by a 15 year old lol. At the end of the day these guys have a lot of pride and are very competitive, that's why they are pro athletes. Plus with Dowman's style of play, he will always get tackled a lot. That's why Neymar, Cristiano, Iniesta were always flopping lol. Only Hazard and Messi consistently took those big hits in their primes without consistently flopping/diving/baiting for fouls. But Dowman is already a great foul baiter at his young age. He will be a nightmare to defend once he fills out his frame and gets even more physical and explosive.
 

Arsenal Quotes

One of the things I discovered in Japan was from watching sumo wrestling. At the end you can never tell who has won the fight, and who has lost, because they do not show their emotion because it could embarrass the loser. It is unbelievable. That is why I try to teach my team politeness. It is only here in England that everybody pokes their tongue out when they win.
