I find that a lot of (not all) supporters who criticise a player for diving to be quite hypercritical. Player dives against their team and he is a cheat. Player stays on his feet in the area instead of going down and the same fans say that he should have gone down. A bit like people who have called Maradona a cheat for years and years yet overlook Michael Owen’s blatant against Argentina years later. In a perfect world there would be no cheating but there is.
On a similar note fans who call players greedy for moving onto a bigger club whilst ignoring the fact that the same player probably moved to them from a smaller club and earning less money.

Why begrudgingly?
You could argue that our current CM's are not big enough c-units to the opposition.
There's being tough with the opposition and making sure you don't get refereed by the other team (something we're terrible at), and then there's falling over and whinging like a melt at every opportunity. As a person he comes across as a bit of a vvanker as well - would most certainly fail Mick's attitude/personality test.
Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand.
