Ballon d'Or Shortlist

[Wonderwall]

There are some very strange names in there, none more than Jose Mourinho!!! WTF, what did he do last year? Brenda will be having kittens now after seeing him being omitted after he over acheived with the real champions.

Nice to see pellers and Toure in there.

I think the players award will go to either
Ronaldo or Costa (would love Courtois to get it)

I think the Managers award will go to either
Low or Simeone with Simeone being my favourite but he doesnt do himself any favours with his actions, so Low will get it.

Gareth Bale,
Cristiano Ronaldo,
Karim Benzema,
Lionel Messi,
Thibaut Courtois,

Looks like that win for West Ham on Saturday came just a little too late to see the tactical pie-eater get on to the list.

[Goaters 103]

Where's Allardyce's name ffs? I thought he "won football" on Saturday, the way hes carped on about what a genius he was and how he masterminded a defeat of us

NB - The real architect of Saturdays defeat was in our dressing room and is on the list of managers.

[Mikhail Chigorin]

Where's Sergio Aguero from that list ??

[Moonchesteri]

I would give them to Tranny and Simeone.


But I think the trophies however will go to Müller & Löw

[Dameerto]

Any manager who breaks the Spanish duopoly should automatically get it.

[Michael Brookes]

Jose Mourinho - wtf?

Someone told me that ashley young has been nominated for the Fallon D'Floor. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Where's Sergio Aguero from that list ??

Unfortunately injured far too often. If he can remain fit for 80%+ matches this season, there shouldn't be any reason why he is not on the list next time with his prolific record.

How Mourinho is on that list though, I can't work out!

Thanks for the clarification AB.

Much appreciated.
