I can guarentee there hasn't been one team EVER to win something without diving at some point in the run up to that.
This is what I hate about some Everton fans. 'thats not everton' is the most ridiculous thing I've heard in my life.

You sound like a kopite mate. Might want to see your local GP.

i don't think diving is anywhere near the problem its made out
im going to get killed on here for this but i honestly think alot of the time it is in players nature to anticipate the challenge to avoid impact n potential injury
im not saying theres never any cases of genuine cheating mind
its far from the biggest problem in the game - i.e cost of going the game, corruption and incredibly poor standard of refereeing

Gary Neville's spot on to be fair, the rewards of diving outweigh the risks so it's daft to not dive when you have the opportunity since it may well be the difference between winning and losing. That's why we need the authorities to step in and stamp it out with more help for referees and bigger bans for simulation, all it would take would be one significant ban handed out for diving and players would stop diving as much because it would become a very risky thing to do.

Clowns mate the lot of them.

So you want Everton to win stuff but you would reject one of the best players in the world? thats like turning Messi, Ronaldo down.
Couldn't really care less what other people do. You set your own standards in life don't you? I mean what Neville is saying that you do whatever, and the refs are there to pull you up. Would the same apply to other aspects of law enforcement? Is it all fair game, with it up to the police to stop you, or do you apply some morals in life?
Where does it end? Should we be doping all of our players because the chances of them being caught are next to 0%? Is that just being 'professional'?

It's not really is it..... Neither of them bite, racially abuse or stamp on their opponents do they.... I don't doubt the quality of the player but I certainly doubt the quality of the man.
As an aside, he's nowhere near the levels of Ronaldo or messi.
