Made me laugh. Although, in all honesty Drogba's booking has to be one of the harshest of the season. Really well written. Made me laugh.

However, this is a one of incident for a player that has always simulated in football matches. Whether it be at youth team level or in the premiership, both Drogba and Essien admitted to learning how to manipulate the ref, the latter obviously grew out of this phase and now earns his trade as a 'footballer'. If you get the chance to watch the footage again, look at Drogba's reaction when he is brandished a yellow card, it looks like a raging bull to a red rag. Even when i watched the game live, i thought "if he really was THAT injured, how on earth could he jump up and charge towards the ref when he got a yellow card?" Maybe next time Johnny Evans could do it properly and aim for his face? Well said, Harry.

A little harsh maybe but if he, like u said, 'manned up' he wouldn't have earned the reputation he's now stuck with!
