I was wondering, guys and gals. Fans of other clubs often label Hazard as a diver, but I myself find that Hazard is an honest player and practically never dives. I often see him trying to keep on going etc. Is it bias that clouds my judgment, or are fans of other clubs just jealous? :-P

Your right Jack, I was at the Liverpool page and I was surprised to see a poster tag Hazard a diver, I try not to post on their page cause they are a delusional bunch, and almost unable to have a fair, level headed discussion, Hazard doesn't dive, go down easily or role around to get opposing defenders carded. I think he is an honest and very bumble player, as time goes on he might want to try something new but I hope that will not be any time soon, glad we have him, and no its not your bias judgement many commentators, analysts and fellow player have said how honest a player he is.

I'm with you on this, Jackson. He gets fouled a lot because of his ability.

I've noticed this too Jackson! My mates claim Hazard goes down like a sack of potato's, I don't see it, rarely dives, doesn't milk stuff like others do.
Love the player. Jealousy it must be.

Yeah, I know it shouldn't but sometimes it bothers me that people call him a diver. It's not Hazard's fault that defenders can't stop him without fouling :)
And I think you're right, ELI. I wouldn't try to get into a reasonable discussion on the Liverpool page. It's worth a shot on the Arsenal page though. They seem pretty cool :)

Yes I go onto other teams pages,not to post anything, but just to get other supporters views of us and how they think their team are doing. The arsenal page has a different feel to any of the others, they just seem less vindictive and more like a group of blokes in a pub having a good old banter about football. There again the eds might not agree,.
{Ed002's Note - I would agree with that, the Arsenal page is very active and it does have the feel, as you say, of some chaps in a pub. Generally they are a very good bunch and certainly many of the fans of other clubs could learn from it.}

Yeah Sid, I'm fund of some of their posters, they seem really cool. Hope our page can be like that, it's become more active and there is a really good number of regular posters. Ed018 and Ed002 have also made it great, good to see the site healthy again. Still want to kick arsenal bu## though. :)

Well put, sid :)

Yeah that's an odd one unless they consider going down after someone kicks a lump out of you diving. We've had a fair few amount of guys be called on it (including diego who I can't remember diving but refs have called him for it on multiple occasions when it was a cleaar pen) but hazard was never one. I could understand if they said ivanovic likes to put on a good performance but not hazard who commonly tries to play through the fouls in the box.

Thanks for the answers, guys. I'm glad I can still be honest and reasonable even when it comes to Chelsea (players) :-)
