I KNOW it was a penalty

Though it was the sort of penalty that you only get if make a huge meal of the minimal (but illegal) contact that has just been made with you.

I just don't like the whole dying swan bit. Henry looked as though someone had taken a meat axe to his foot, whereas in fact he'd had the sort of gentle tap on the shin that people get playing footsy when they're a bit pissed.

I'd never taken much notice of Henry till his CL uber-blub, which I thought was pathetic. Then I noticed him again faking a foul and faking an injury against Puyol, and I was pretty unimpressed.

Clare raised an interesting point below about whether Henry genuinely MEANT it when he said after CL that he'd better learn to dive. Maybe we really are seeing the end product of a deliberate policy.
