  6. Excellent game, I didn`t want it to end. Brilliant­ display by both teams. That`s why the EPL is the best­ in the world.
    Only drawback I had­ was...................why did Drogba have dive and­ cheat and roll around like a schoolboy. He represents­ everything that is wrong in football.
    A great match,­ spoilt by schoolboy antics of Drogba.
