This Swansea team could teach the 70s Leeds team a few things on gamesmanship.
Play off final

Really hoping for a Brentford win. I'm praying they win 1-0 with a last min pen thats not a pen
I'm not looking forward to 90 mins of Ayew falling over and screaming everytime he's touched. A god awful user of the 'dark arts'.

Went to Brentford last time we played them. Looking forward to going to the new stadium sometime but want to see them go up because of the good football they always play.

What rubbish!
Every club is guilty of gamesmanship - or to give it's proper name cheating - and we have two major culprits in McNair and Tavernier.
Jamie Vardy's second penalty at the weekend was pure cheating - he hooked his arm around the Spurs players arm and flung himself to the floor.

Brentford dive and cheat just as much as Swansea.
As DCI sez all teams at it some just seem to get away with it more than other’s

Sergi Canos is one of the biggest cheaters going. I like Brentford & hope they win but he is a disgrace. I saw one game where he dived, got up and screamed and shouted at the ref to send the player off and then celebrated like he'd scored the play off final winning goal when the ref did send him off.

The only way it will ever change is if they institute retrospective punishment for diving.

I agree but it happens week in week out. Isn't this what VAR was supposed to sort out?
Look at the farcical situation Bamford found himself in the other week.
How many times do you hear players/managers/commentators say "he should have gone down" - Neil Maddison says it regularly.

its not just diving tho is it. cheating, or "being professional", is endemic in the game now. it affects every aspect of the 90 minutes. I'm sick of it to be honest, watched some old games from the 70's and it was just so much purer. dirty, physical.... but no cynical crap. and yes, I am well aware bormuff are very good at it. I'm sick of it - it stinks.

Agreed - Grealish on Sunday. Azpilicueta accidentally brushes his hand across Grealish's face. He rolls around in agony holding his face, as soon as Azpilicueta is red carded Grealish is up and running about. The red card got rescinded but Grealish should have been retrospectively charged with cheating.
How many times have we heard players screaming in agony when tackled in empty grounds only to get up and run around without even receiving treatment. It's plain cheating.

WHAT!! How very dare you, they both clearly suffer from a medical condition that makes them unsteady on their feet.
But everybody else is cheating.
