Eduardo’s dive might have been despicable but here is a video of Steven Gerrard elevating it to an art form. Its the complete package. No one talks of the Liverpool talisman because it provides a different narrative from foreign footballers ruining the English league with their cheating ways.
I suppose Eduardo’s dive fits well with Mark Hughes xenophobic description of what Arsenal does as ‘ a touch of the dark arts.’ It might explain the over the top reaction.

This wouldn’t be a case of an Arsenal fan taking exception to Eduardo’s dive now would it?
There’s no debating Eduardo’s dive, although the UEFA “investigation” is far too harsh.
How did you guess?
Yes, the double standards are obvious. Eduardo’s dive was despicable but not unique. UEFA has reacted to it as if this is the first time such a thing has happened.
