Jose Mourinho ‘diversity/diver-city’ comment by Richard Keys sends social media into overdrive
Twitter fans tell ex-Sky Sports presenter to 'call 999', that he's 'finally gone insane' and he's 'always had a problem with diversity'
RICHARD KEYS sent Twitter into overdrive when he turned his attention to Jose Mourinho.
Mourinho had plenty to say about the opposition players diving in the build-up to Sunday's Manchester derby.
He said of City's top stars: "A little bit of wind and they fall”.
The aftermath of United's 2-1 home defeat saw the controversial Portuguese refer to a “diversity” of opinion surrounding the highly publicised scuffles that broke out behind the scenes.
City coach Mikel Arteta had 'blood pouring' from a cut in his face, while Mourinho was allegedly pelted with a milk carton.
And former presenter Keys, now along with Andy Gray the face of , was obviously keen to draw a connection from the whole scenario.
He tweeted: "Jose saying ‘diversity’ - are we sure? Broken up - the way he’s delivering it - it sounds more like ‘diver-city’. Listen again."
But some Twitter followers were less than impressed.

Like Joshua Harwood, who posted: "Call 999 Richard Keys is losing it.";
Marc McBride replied: "I think you might have finally gone insane, Richard."
Said Francis Collings: "Sounds fine, Let's hear your Portuguese."
Jack_Quack96 simply posted: "My good lord, when you think you've seen it all."
Steve@Stevuk77 replied: "What? Is this football journalism?"
And Keys, who resigned as a Sky presenter after making derogatory comments about female assistant referee Sian Massey in 2011, really took one on the chin from Lee@leerobson23.

Presumably with reference to Keys' off-air comments about Massey and the fitness of women to officiate at football matches, he posted:
"You’ve always had a problem with diversity, after all... "
Many middle aged soccer fans once looked upon Keys as the face of the Premier League.
Today he's more like the face of Twitter...
