Yes it was a dive, but no it wasn't close to the seasons worst.

the media should keep things in perspective.

I don't like the fact that he dived, and it doesn't matter to me that other teams cheat by advocating it. Cheating is cheating, and I want Arsenal to play hard but fair. If we want to keep up with cheating Joneses, then let's bring in an Oligarch and be done with it.
Not for me, thanks.

That aside, the dive itself was obvious, but nowhere close to the delayed reaction sniper felling of Suarez and Bale as seen this season.

From what I can see the lack of perspective is mostly from Arsenal fans fearlessly defending their team from a backlash that hasn't really happened

I believe they are the thoughts of grahm poll though.

but the overall reaction seems reasonably balanced.

Perhaps if we were higher up the league...... http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/rubchin.gif

That comment you referred to was from Amy the Arsenal fan.
