A 'chunt'.

Busquets still "lives" off his reputation from when he feigned injury against Inter five years ago. He has an annoying face but he's not a cunt at all, reserve the use of that word for players who actively go out to hurt others or flop around the pitch like your Rooneys Pepes and Youngs. He's also the best DM in the world by a huge margin.

I'd say TimLeaf nailed it - chunt.

Yeah, I almost never see Busquets do anything cuntish.

Problem with fans in this country is diving is seen as a cheating whereas players here will kick lumps off each other and it's called getting stuck in.  We've had players who have taken a tumble and dive down the years, doesn't mean they are cheats.

Chunt he is then!

He's not even a diver like Young or Rooney are, he exaggerates contact (badly) but I don't remember him going down without any contact at all many times

yeah, he doesn't cheat  :brow: (remember him looking through his fingers to see if the ref fell for it?)
Dude's one of the worst cheats ever.
Good player, though.

What else has he done that you remember?

That's the point I'm making, he's certainly not a saint but to be considered among the likes of Gerrard, Drogba or Rooney you have to do more than that. Funnily the latter three are considered legends and nobody would even think of them when you mention a cheat; skewed media perspective and all that.

I don't think Busquets is a big cheat either. People remember that gif, like jonesy points out, but judging him on that incident alone is like judging Henry's character based on that handball against Ireland.

I mean he has a season compilation of dives / going down easily:

Most of those are either deliberately not replayed or blatantly obvious fouls. Showcasing Pepe of all people as the victim

I like how people say that he's only viewed as a cheat because of that one incident looking through his fingers, and you go all "yeah he doesn't cheat, remember him looking through his fingers to see if the ref fell for it?"

The biggest cheat at Barcelona is Alba. I hate the little fucker.

Pepe is a nut and definitely a cheat....probably worse than Busquets.

But that first "foul" on Pepe is a huge dive

A dedicated thread for discussing whether someone is a cheat or a cunt. Get all your Busquets, Ramires and Pepes in here.

Ramires is just flat out a dirt cunt. Worse than Suarez ever was and Costa is. He deliberately sets out to injure players, injured Coquelin as he was just getting a place in 12-13 and I think he broke Arteta's leg the next year. Thankfully he seems to be a shitty bench warmer these days.

Bit harsh. Personally I think he does a serviceable job of keeping this place in some kind of order.

Not sure about that, Daz. He's essentially replaced Burnsy and Y va with Otf and me. That's almost as bad as Wenger replacing Henry and Bergkamp with Adebayor and Bendtner.
