The Real Culprit Behind ‘That Dive’ From Morten Gamst Pedersen

Shame if yesterday was spent cursing Blackburn mid Morten Gamst Pedersen’s soul to eternal damnation after his inexplicable dive against Arsenal on the weekend.

Of course you’d have been right at the time, as it really seemed to beggar belief. No only did he unashamedly dive searching desperately for the penalty, but he did so only after glancing around for a defender and prying eyes. Absolutely beyond comprehension. At least it was until now.

Clive Owen did it.

For the dive as seen by unknowing viewers, watch this.

Yes, that’s just about as bad as it gets.

But as if it weren’t enough, El-Hadji Diouf, ever a man of class, tried to end Manuel Almunia’s career as well.

Yeah, you expect teams down mired in the relegation fight to claw, scratch and cheat their way to points any way possible – not to mention those down 4-0 – but this is just pretty despicable any way you swing it.
