(7,774 posts)He says so and so is a disgrace for diving and should never play for (incert team here) again. He has had two of the biggest divers in the history of english football in the greasy one and Nani. Next you will be telling me "scholzey's not that kind of player" I hope he chokes on his next bottle of scotch.

A consummation devoutly to be wished, mate.
On edit: I've always rated Jaap Stam. It's good to hear him being outspoken.
