Tbh it's pretty much impossible to win trophies in football if you're a team of saints. Hence why we are picking up more cards and acting more scrotey this season - we're absolutely 100% serious and determined about winning. Man U are full of scrotes, Chelsea are full of scrotes, Barca are full of diving scrotes. As people have pointed out in this thread previously, many times, the moral high ground will get you nowhere in the game.
I still find the subtly anti-Cesc and anti-Wenger media stories irritating, but on the flip side of that coin, the team does get a lot of praise for their playstyle.
