as I said one played for Man U and the others didn't
I know what you mean though it would be nice to see some sporting acts from these premiership footballers.. they are meant to be sportsmen after all so acting sporting isn't too much to ask..
maybe they could even stop rolling over 15 times whenever someone goes near them as well
the thing is there is so much money involved now both to the clubs and the players that none of them will stamp down on it.. can you imagine Wenger impossing a 6 game ban on Pires for conning a ref during a game or Fergie doing the same with Ronaldo..
The thing that annoys me is that FIFA and UEFA don't seem to want to do anything about it.. look at what they did with Rivaldo at the world cup.. fined him about the equivalent of £10
