I think that does a dis-service to Welbeck's best efforts, as well as our South American contingent - Pervis, Pedro, Enciso, Buonnanotte all look for it, maybe none as subtle as Veltman but the dark arts are in their football dna
On the sauce last night Jack?
Joel Veltman is *our* Daddy
As President of the Joel Veltman Fan Club, I concur.
You’re too young to know proper men’s football. When you have kids please don’t encourage them to dive it’s embrassing.
Nice guy, diving ****.
Nobody’s biting
Great it was right in front of us too.
By far the best RB.

Don Shanks
Cheers.
It’s diving.
People wanted him gone after the pre season friendly. !!!
It's not really. He makes the most of the contact that he 'buys' - he doesn't just dive over nothing. And it's noticeable that most of his opponents don't actually protest all that much - they know they've been conned into slightly fouling him, which he then exaggerates.
Mark Hughes was the epitome of that. Such a quiet nicely spoken chap away from the pitch, but an absolute animal on it.I love the contrast with how he comes across in his post-match interviews. He just seems so normal, down to Earth, and NICE. Maybe the odd trace of a smirk or a knowing twinkle in his eyes if you're really looking for it, but the casual observer would have no clue that he's an absolute sh1t on the pitch
I can imagine that helps with the refs too - he'll be warm and chatty with them, so they'll give him the benefit of doubt on the pitch.
LOVE HIM.
