The Ivorian Duck

As a swan conjures up visions of grace, serenity and majesty, I would be loathe to use it in the same sentence as Didier Drogba. For a guy with his talent, it's a crying shame to see him resort to such dark arts. Admittedly, he can play when he feels so inclined, but why oh why does he have to pull moves on the park that should only really be done in the swimming pool. Just before the Chelski supporters sharpen the knives, I am not referring to yesterday's match against Liverpool where he was voted man-of-the-match. He even admitted he dives only for Chelski's PR machine to get him to backtrack.

Granted, the greatest footballer to play the game aka Diego Armando Maradona was a master proponent of the dark arts too, but he's genius and we can always cut genius some slack.
