Er the ball going foward is irrelevent, rosicky was behind baptista when the ball was played so it was onside. Regardless, we've had plenty of offsides wrongly given against us blah de blah de blah.

What, halfway through a passing move they pick up the ball and run like rugby players or something? Yes there are players who cheat and i wish they wouldn't but name me one side who hasn't. Calling the whole team cheats based on the actions of a few i find pretty offensive.

He doesn't get asked in many interviews about diving, and probably the reason why he never comes out and openly criticises it, it he feels teams do the same to arsenal. Funny how people forget about how mourinho talked about this, about drogbas interview saying he cheated and didnt regret it, about ronaldos constant faggotry, about ferguson never criticising him for it etc, yet people remember when pires dived to keep our unbeaten run going and so forth.
