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.


Ballon d’Or nominations:
Gareth Bale,
Cristiano Ronaldo,
Karim Benzema,
Lionel Messi,
Thibaut Courtois,
Eden Hazard,
Diego Costa,
Angel di Maria,
Yaya Toure,
Mario Gotze,
Zlatan Ibrahimovic,
Andres Iniesta,
Toni Kroos,
Philipp Lahm,
Javier Mascherano,
Thomas Muller,
Manuel Neuer,
Neymar,
Paul Pogba,
Sergio Ramos,
Arjen Robben,
James Rodriguez,
Bastian Schweinsteiger

Coach of the Year nomination:
Jose Mourinho,
Louis van Gaal,
Carlo Ancelotti,

Pep Guardiola,
Jurgen Klinsmann,
Joachim Low,
Manuel Pellegrini,

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.

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.

I would give them to Tranny and Simeone.


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

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

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!
