you can probably get away with it when it's not a weekly occurrence unlike said neighbour's manager style of play

There was contact and it was a penalty. Whether he was actually hurt for a few seconds is impossible to say, and whether he play acted in this day and age is pretty irrelevant given that it goes on dozens of times in a game. Can't see him being done for diving.
 
Only saw the highlights, B Silva had some great moments of good close control and dribbling in the clips that I saw

Did you watch the game RB? How did B. Silva get on in general? Could be wrong but thought that may have been his first Prem start of the season.

It was a penalty. Is there contact? Yes. Does he fall theatrically? Absolutely. But if there is contact he surely can't be retrospectively banned as I have seen suggested in a few places. Or at least if he is there will be a precedent set for a serious amount of retrospective bans this season.

A knee landing on your metatarsal could be painful, given how flimsy the boots are these days.

Definitely a penalty, think he went over quite theatrically which people are giving out about

Only really noticed Be Bruyne at the 2014 world cup when there was no hype about him. Looked a very handy, mobile player without sticking out too much.

Have always been impressed by him.

Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

Otamendi has been solid, really good at times with the odd mad moment thrown in. Would agree that Stones has looked exceptional so far this season though.
