Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United players are the biggest DIVERS!
by stresster on October 21st, 2008Jose Mourinho might now be residing in Italy, but that doesn’t mean that he’s out of the English media spotlight. It’s clear that he’s afraid of being forgotten in the United Kingdom, which would explain why he regularly feels the need to comment on an aspect of the Premier League, and this statement is arguably the most controversial to date!
Quite why the former Chelsea manager feels the need to ‘name and shame’ the players who allegedly dive the most is open to question, with Setanta reporting that he’s mentioned a footballer from each of the Big Four. We’re not sure if former love Didier Drogba is going to enjoy hearing about this from the Portugeezer!
“I am no longer Chelsea manager and I don’t have to defend them so I think it’s correct if I say [Didier] Drogba is a diver,” stated Mourinho.
“[Cristiano] Ronaldo, Fernando Torres, Robin van Persie are the divers who won more penalties during the last four or five years.
“English football criticises divers. In England, coaches teach the kids how to play a game of football but in Italy, Spain and Portugal, coaches teach the kids how to win a game.
“When players go England they need to adapt. Drogba today is better than he was before. Ronaldo is better than he was. And Torres will be better too.”
Do Manchester United fans agree that Cristiano Ronaldo goes down in the box very easily? He’s probably the player that neutral fans would mention if asked about diving in the Premier League? As for Robin Van Persie, wasn’t it Arsenal team-mate Emmanuel Adebayor who was booked for diving on Saturday? And surely Liverpool supporters can’t agree with the statement about Torres, who might know how to win a free-kick but is surely more likely to try and score than fall down in the penalty area like a sack of a spuds?

not seen Torres dive once, have seen him taken out, not given anything and get back on his feet battling for the ball without so much as glacing at the ref though…

ronaldo is the worst!
GOONER - October 21st, 2008 at 9:58 am
Drogba Robben Cashley Joe Cole & even John Terry when he took that penalty always dive!!!

They are the worst. It’s true. I think he is being a bit harsh on Torres though. He’s hardly in the theatrical class of Drogba, Ronaldo et al.

i dont think i have ever seen torres dive, despite plenty of rough treatment. he just gets on with it
not that liverpool should be exempt from morinhos wrath with Mr “i will criticise any of my own team which dives (except me)” gerrard who is by far their worst player for it , and one of the worst in the premier league

and the divers are largely foreign. Another reason to remove them from English football

drogba = the biggest diver of all time
he dont even dive convincingly, more often than not going down like a sack of shit asif hes bn shot or sumin.
hes a joke and over rated, i for one am glad he has injury woes atm, cnt stand seeing the fucker on my screen.
cristiano = 2nd biggest diver of all time.
if it wernt for the fact he is the best player in the world he wud be number one, he is the kind of twat hu practices diving in training. this is wot bringing too many foreigners into the premier league has done, evry1 falling over n gtin free kicks.. its called cheating and its the cancer of the game.

arsenal r probly the least divers of all the prem teams
gunner - October 21st, 2008 at 1:42 pm
o not forgetting lampard, he is one of the worst divers

What an utter cunt Mourinho is…..
Even as a 100% biased United fan I can admit I dont think of Torres as a diver. And I wish I could say the same for Ronaldo, but that would just be ridiculous. Dont really think of diving when I think of VanPersie either. Drogba, now thats laughable and doesn’t even deserve a response as the whole world is aware of that fucking pussys habits.

He’s just jealous that he can’t be back in the premier league managing because chelski put an unbreakable contract on his ass. He wants to come back, cause Serie A is shit compare to the premier league and he realizes that. He knows a manger of his status has be to managing at the very top, which at the moment and in the foreseeable future, is the premier league. Really, the only way he can justify going to Inter, is if he wins the Champions League; But rest assured, Rafa Benitez’s contract is over in the summer; and I think Jose knows about this. The ONLY club that he will be coming back for is Liverpool. I’m not really a fan of his negative football, but Rafa’s time could be running out. Poor little Jose, still bitter that he wasn’t managing Liverpool in 2005. hahahahahahahahahahahaaha!
