Everyone calls Drogba a diving pansy still...whenever you bring up a conversation about Drogba someone mentions his diving especially scousers. Everyone hates the way busquests acts but for me its because he gives out the hard tackles, but as soon as he gets one he goes down like crazy. But thats an opinion of more than justs me so i don't think it needs justifying.

He did that with Pep Barça a lot of years ago and he has not done it again. This last seasons he had good behaviour. It is like people that think Pepe is a dirty player. Pepe has been a very clean player with few cards since Mourinho left

What I don't understand is why you always criticize Pep Barça for "acting" but you never do it with Mou Real Madrid that Barça was facing, one of the dirtiest teams that I have seen. It seems that acting is worse than breaking legs. I kinda can understand Barça behavior back them, they were protecting their health and injures with that "acting".

All the other things is envy.


i think he's a good player, but far to be at the top of his role. And his unsporting behavior is a great stain on his career and he did it many times.
But he fits perfectly the Barcelona style so good for him to have his contract renewed,


Far to be the top of his role? He is the best in his role for possession style teams. Really there are people that think that Busquets is not a top player in his position?

Yeah i think that he's good but not at the top. He particularly shines in Barcellona, he's good with his feets and pass the ball well and he works in defence. But he plays a faul game, he's rash in his tackle but he acts always as a victim.

In that position (defensive midfielder with a playmaking task) there are so many better players (Kante, Marchisio, Vidal, Koke, Biglia, Strootman, Banega, Xabi Alonso, Fernandinho, Gundogan... and many more).

I'm not sure I'd call Drogba a pansy he's quite a lot bigger than me. But he did qualify for the Ivory Coast National Olympic Diving Team every year he played in the Premier league. It was written into his contract he couldn't dive for Chelsea and the Ivory Coast at the same time though.

This list is so lolz. With the exception of Vidal, there is no one in that list that is better than him at his role. Infact if he were put in a more defensive setup he would be even better, his biggest weakness is his pace and that means that if he is out of position when the back line is pushed up its GG. If you put him in a setup where he can just sweep infront of a back line and just distribute it would probably make his life so much easier.

And really all defensive mids make rash tackles heck the guys on your list do it just as much if not more than him lol.

Pass what you are smoking bro.

And that point about Pepe is true aswell. Pretty sure there was year in there recently where he went like half a year without even a yellow card. Heck the poor guy has never even received a direct red in his la liga life (although there were a couple of incidents where he got away with it)

The bigger psycho statistically on RM is Ramos.

Yeah but Pepe dont do that niggly cheapo passive aggressive shit Costa does.

He either goes ham or hes pretty clean. I mean all defenders do the occasional kick in the ankle and stuff so nothing out of the ordinary there.

Busquets rarely tackles because he's always positioned perfectly. He's probably the most intelligent/tactically aware DM in the world. He can't do box-to-box so he's less "impressive" than Vidal, but Barça doesn't need a Vidal when they have 2 other offensive midfielders. One that could compete with Busquets is playing CB in that same team =D

Yeah that was the other distinction I wanted to make but work to stronk. That list has some box to box midfielders, some that cant pass for shit or some that cant defend for shit and some arent even dedicated defensive mids (Marchisio) + Show Spoiler +
hes like a jack of all trades two way player.

Not to mention Strootman has been injured all the time.

Busquets is one of the most important players for their playstyle. Every offense starts there.

Biggest game in all sport 2015/1016, certainly the most money at stake. Hull City Vs Sheffield Wednesday at Wembley. The Championship Playoff final. One club will play in the Premier League, a prize worth 170 million squid. One side will have nothing but a good season and another crack at it next year.

Come on Wednesday the Premier League needs you.

------ In entierly diferent news alchol is really cheap in the shops in China but going to a bar is an entierly different story. I've paid less in England where all countries currencies go to die. I'm going to drink at home with my house mates and cats from now on (the cats aren't mine).
