I'll respond for myself but I am not in denial that Utd have had their divers but I don't recall ever attempting to justify it. Nor anyone else for that matter. I do recall for the case of Young SAF acknowledging it and saying he was going to talk to him about it and Keane calling him a disgrace to Man U.
Compared to managers glorifying it or ignorant fans that don't realize it is a contact sport and trying to justify it.
It's encouraged by Spurs....embraced. Yes, other teams have/had them but there is not the same level of attempting to justify the behaviour. That is the difference for me.
