There is also no excuse for why they suck. They all have more than enough money to buy whoever they want. Players love to go to their league. Coaches love to go there too. They have great squads, huge fan bases and the british media behind them.

Apart from Chelsea, they all lack spine.
This is true, especially the part about them having no excuses. Especially City, what excuse do they have for not building a top team in Europe?

They're all jackasses.
They are, probably the team with the highest percentage of divers, and injury fakers.

That being said, has anyone ever seen Messi fake an injury or dive? Even when he's tackled, the guy just gets up and gets on with it, rarely do you see him faking an injury or staying on the ground. Fuckin great attitude that guy has.

Come on man :D

Some credit has to be given when its due, call him boring or anything, but I mean when people go on and on about how Barca are a team of divers and primadonna's(rightfully so too), can we not give credit to the guy in that team whose an exception to all that. Iniesta is another one btw, rarely do you see him pressurizing the ref, or diving.

Xavi for example, despite the image he tries to portray as an innocent guy, is just as bad as the rest, you'd always notice him running over to the ref, trying to pressure him to make a decision, or raising imaginary cards and that sort of behavior.

Can't be sure from that at all, but you can't stop a guy reacting in a way he is used to, it only takes a split second to fuck up.

I completely agree, just thought it was notable for Messi :D Only a few times do you see him flustered, but he's probably been kicked all around the pitch since he was a kid.

I'm sure the same applies to C. Ronaldo(due to his playing style at an earlier age) and Neymar, but look at them falling all over the place whenever someone touches them.

Yeah I guess, but Neymar is very slight and brittle. Ronaldo is just a primadonna :D He at least has the power to give it back but chooses to be a queen instead.
