What about Fabregas?? and they are a pile of dirty cheating mofo's

Alex, I have a feeling their squad for the 2014 WC will be even stronger, by that, I mean due to having more experience.

Dan, Cesc = Fabgregas. I think the dirty tag can't truly be aimed at this group, the quality they possess collectively and individually, means they don't need to resort to the style you mention, they are that good.
