We were well aware of Muzza's diving from his previous spell with us. Nobody from either end of the A23 is denying he does it.

Palace fans do not want "DIVER" Ashley Young in their team

I prefer to think of it as Palace being promoted off the back of outstanding forward play. Bolasie, Zaha and Murray were easily the most exciting front line to watch that season. The reason we won more penalties than anyone else is because we spent more time in the opposition box than anyone else.
Also, the stats chaps worked out that when accounting for refereeing mistakes, Palace should have recieved more penalties that year, not less.
Unfortunately the refs got to know his trick as well, as it was so often on the TV screens when we played him in the Prem side.
It's a class act especially when he holds the ball up just on the edge of the penalty area then waits for a defender to lunge in..BANG! And it's like the OK Corral..

I'm sure you would.
Unfortunately though, the rest of the footballing public called it for what it was. It got to be something of a standing joke after a while.

You were promoted by cheating (a) by diving and (b) through numerous administrations. A gutter club.
"Gutter" from the Nutter? That figures. Seems to be a Gutter you have an obsession about joining. Stop your mutter Nutter.
And if it wasn't for Palace you might still have Gus, no?

Are you really that sad you had to search on a Leicester forum to put up a thread on a Brighton forum about a dive 3 years ago that happened at another club.

Its even worse in the Premiership when we dive as we are viewed by potentially 4 billion people worldwide. 
If anybody dives in the championship you only get seen by 100,00 people on channel 5.
It's not fair.

You can dig up incidents of diving in any club.
The fact is even your own current manager openly criticized Palace players for diving, it in your clubs DNA part of the overall cheating and something for nothing culture that exists. It doesn't matter whether its your creditors, former managers or the opposition

So now Dougle is claiming it was a stone-wall peno on Benteke - I'm sure there's quotes on here to the contrary 
The problem is, you get mainly the sad gimps who defend the indefensible on here from 2010 - and now they have the cheek to TELL US about Murray - a player who we knew all about long before them. A player who even dived to win a pen against us And who they all denied was a diver when he was with them . As Easy said, their very lucky lottery promotion was founded on diving & cheating - and that's before you even take into account the off-field cheating (twice). They're just fantastic to have as a rival they really are

Remember when Leon Knight was our best player and everyone loved him? Even then everyone on here and even at game would have a pop at him about his blatant diving. It's called accepting the truth. Yet 2010 have denied that one of the biggest cheats (Winifred) is a diver for years

I've never denied that Wilf has attitude problems and is prone to histrionics. But that's what you get with talented players, Cantona, Rooney for two, and wingers often seem to have more than their share of moodies. But you have to accept that if they can take a ball around and past people they are worth that.
Seems that Kaz has that attitude issue too from The Argus this morning. If I were you I would hope that watching Muzza's attitude might teach him a bit.
