Strangely enough, that's exactly what I was thinking! There's a certain M. Owen, amongst others, who's partial to "Doing A Brosque" as well.

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Here is your evidence sir.

Pay close attention at about 1 min 10 seconds in.

But of course, English players never dive.el grapadura2009-12-18 10:59:20

Why is their so much angst against English players diving? Its a pretty international thing, the likes of Puyol are really the worst divers.

Because they never admit it, I'm a-thinkin'. Its basically considered a "foreign" thing to do. Eg Spaniards and Italians dive, English players are honest.

Fark off, from the highlights I saw Joe Cole willingingly threw himself over the defenders leg to get the pen. He didn't need to make it that dramatic, because he had a fair claim, but damn he looked like a douche.

the portsmouth game? that was branislav ivanovic who willingly threw himself over the defenders leg. it was a bit excessive though i agree as it was always going to be a penalty
 
and i was just kidding when i said chelsea players dont dive. every team has players who dive and im sure most if not all players have taken a dive at least once

correct answer is actually;  "in the champions league' 

but, no seriously, the table shows players who have been booked for diving - eduardo didn't get booked.
