Pepe's great when he's not pretending like he just got shot, which is only about 80% of the time he's on the pitch...

Pray tell me what other player doesn't do the same? Not defending those attitudes, I just think it's a bit ironic to single out a player for something that the grand majority of players do as well. 

Oh well, been loving all this talk about how terrible some elements in our team area. While we do have our weaknesses, I don't think we have shown anything remotely close to "terrible".

Then again, I wouldn't expect anything else.

There are certainly players with a better attitude that don't act as if they're dying like Pepe, Nani and the Greeks

Nani? That's an odd one to put there, I rarely see him going down, only on very nasty tackles. I agree with Pepe though. 

I still think it's ironic to single out Portuguese players though, especially given how almost every Barça player has a Tony award performance everytime they go down (especially Dani Alves and Busquets) and many other similar cases. Though, I believe that's the "hip" thing to do nowadays.
