Their fans hate him because he 'dived' to win the penalty that Leicester missed in the play-off semis years ago.

I'm trying to remember if that's the worst challenge I have seen since Gerry Ryan had his leg broken by the dark side of the Hughton family

Is it bit strange because didn't Watford run up the pitch and Deeney score the winner seconds later, they should love him like Leicester do
Anything can look bad when it's just one frame.
Were you there?

So both feet off the ground, lunging side ways is in no way a jump?

Wait, you think he got both feet off the ground without jumping?!

He seems to think you're talking about Britos

Utter cretins in the Watford home end who were gesturing that AK dived and that it was a fair challenge. To be honest, I'm surprised that lino even flagged for a challenge given that he was so biased in the first half, he might as well have pulled on a Watford top.

Are you serious?
That's how I saw it too. [MENTION=189]Wozza[/MENTION] and I saw it live and numerous times together on the train home from the game and Knockaert didn't so much jump as already had his left foot off the ground mid-stride.

Did anyone notice the Watford fan who started the Billy Big Bollocks bit, remonstrating with stewards and Albion players that there was nothing wrong with the tackle. Tw*t!!
I also had this thought when they booed him. If it wasn't for Knockaert diving and missing pen, they wouldn't be premier league
If he had done that in the car park after the game he could be facing a criminal charges. He shouldn't be allowed to play professional football.

If Knockaert's left foot had been on the ground and taking his weight at the point of impact then I shudder to think what could have happened. I don't think it's an over-reaction to say that if one footballer is so deliberate or careless as to come close to ruining a fellow player's career then the book needs throwing at him. He has lots of previous in this regard to so there is no way that anyone can play the Pardew defence of "he's not that type of player". He is, and a repeat offender to boot (sic).
