"I am no longer the Chelsea coach but there is a diving culture in England,"
"I think I am right if I say that [Didier] Drogba, [Cristiano] Ronaldo, [Fernando] Torres and [Robin] Van Persie are all divers.
"These are strikers who have won plenty of penalties over the years.
"English football criticises divers but it's the coaches' who teach the players to play this way.
"Where as in Spain, Italy and Portugal, players are taught to win in the right ways by playing proper football.
"Therefore when a player moves to the Premier League, he has to adapt and learn how to dive.
"Drogba is a better player now than what he was, as is Torres and Ronaldo."
The coach also gave his own opinion on diving and he admits he doesn't like it and that players should only go down if they are hacked badly.
"I don't like players diving but I will not be happy if one of mine stays on his feet if he gets fouled badly," added the 'Special One'
"It's rare for referees to give free kicks if a player stays on his feet, even if the challenge is a bad one.
"I tell my players to be firm and not naive."

Seriously, Frank Lampard is an absolute legend of the game. He needs to be recognised in some way eg. Frank Lampard OBE, Sir Frank Lampard or some kind of lifetime achievement award.

Greatest ownage machine: Scholes. Absolute animal when he was a regular poster, I always knew I was in the right when he was backing me up, and I couldn't wait to read a topic that he was posting in because I knew he'd be tearing someone apart

Where'd you get this from?
I personally cannot believe he said this. I mean, why the hell didn't he include Gerrard and Robinho in that list of divers?!?!
