I was watching Countdown the other afternoon (as we retired gentlemen do occasionally), and resident lexicographer Susie Dent came up with a 6-letter word "divier", i.e. more divy, more like a low drinking den.
Studio guest Colin Murray asked her "Can it be applied to footballers who dive? As in "Manchester United players are divier than Manchester City's players"?"
I had a good laugh, but was amazed to hear the world's favourite team having the piss taken out of them.
It's not just us who know the truth about them.
I don't think that plastic rag Rachel Riley was amused.
