^ what Scott said. Notorious diver/cheat. That's why he gets 'hate' - it's not like he needs to be a cheating cunt - his skill is obvious for all to see, but he chooses to be one anyway.
He gets any 'hate' for that alone, we don't like divers over here in the Premiership
(except we tend to turn a blind eye to any of it coming from our own team's player's - gareth bale.. I heart gareth bale)
ETA:
to sidetrack slightly - notice how ronaldo & messi aren't averse to cheating also? That's always puzzled me about some of the truly great players of recent times... why do they even need (or want, would be more accurate, as they clearly don't need it) that in their game?
