Andrew Johnson.

Drogba isn't diving as much nowadays, but Arjen Robben is a disgrace.

The 'he runs at pace and is therefore off-balance' argument that many people like to use about Robben and Johnson is total bullshit aswell. I have a mate who runs the 100m in 11.2 and can keep his balance perfectly. I haven't seen Johnson dive that much this season but i seem to remember him diving a lot last season and a few times in the Prem with Palace. Not 100% but didn't he dive against us at Selhurst last year? Or have we all forgotten about that.

Name another Premiership player who is more overrated than Johnson then. Using Filbert Ross as an example, are you telling me Kisnorbo could stop Wayne Rooney from touching the ball all game like he did last season to Johnson? Yes, he might have been having a bad game, and playing in a shit team but Kisnorobo's no Terry.

He's by no means a bad player, but I maintain he is way overrated and shouldn't be near the England team.

Merry Christmas Andrew Johnson.

I'm pretty swift myself and also dead light for my height and very clumsy. Yet I don't think I've ever gone down because I'm 'off-balance' in football or even rugby, which is ten times more physical (though to be honest I'm pretty shocking at football). You're right, it's all crap.

Mourinho apologised to Johnson, but I'm pretty sure them threatening legal action is behind that rather than him actually changing his mind. However hypocritical it was looking at his own team, he was right in the first place, and I'm sure Mourinho doesn't actively tell his players to dive. Could do with a few more managers like Stuart Pearce though.
