Drogba got a yellow for diving right?

I watched it and could't believe Evans got away with that.

Drogba fucked himself over by diving frequently and becoming the sort of 'buzzword for simulation a la Suarez/Ronaldo/Bale/Young' just before that game though. Plus he was vibrating on the floor for about 45 seconds afterwards, massively over-exaggerating the foul. Lucky escape for Evans though.

I don't see how he was over-exaggerating the foul. He copped more or less a fly kick to the chest, complete with the full array of studs. You expect Drogba to just lay on the ground? It's like when you crush your finger with a hammer or in a door. Not only do you swear, you shake your hand and maybe jump around a little, etc. Shit hurts. I expect that to be no different.

Wouldn't begrudge any player to react in a similar fashion. That said, how Drogba ever got booked for that still baffles me.

He stays down for more than a minute, unless I've got another unrelated incident where he stayed down for more than a minute without contact at all. It would be quite a catalogue.

Back off KM, I'm sure a high pain threshold was the pick of all the boys to brag about in 50s school yards.

Van Der Meyde is a LAD.

"I said to my ex-wife that I wanted to go to a hotel because I was injured at the time and I needed some rest. But that was not the case - I was just cheating on her.

Cheating on your wife isn't really laddish tbf, it's just being a cunt.

Some interesting (although not surprising by any strech) stats compiled since 2006 by Football Transfert League about the rumor accuracy of UK newspapers
