Diving has become deeply and depressingly ingrained in the game. I'm not on about the blatant stuff looking for penalties etc but the ones where players throw themselves to the ground anywhere on the pitch at the slightest contact. Grealish and Maddison are classic culprits but they're pretty much all at it.
There was one at Villa where Bash tickled one of theirs (probably Grealish) and the inevitable dive and free kick followed.
All of which leads me to think do we need to join the club. I hate myself for thinking this but we are one of the most honest teams yet we just end up disadvantaged. I'd have hoped refs would have the balls to stamp it out but there's fat chance of that.
