Ballon d'Or

Nominees, http://www.fifa.com/ballondor/playeroftheyear/index.html

Or should I say "Bollocks d'Or", RvP NOT even nominated and Wenger nominated for coach of the year! 😆
Shows you that it's nothing but a La Liga mutual masturbation club.

What a load of crap......

What are the chances of Messi Messiah not winning this anyway?

Why is Fabregas nominated this year?

I'm not saying that I don't think Cesc is a great player but he certainly did not put in the kind of performances in 2011 that merit nomination.
Unless of course people just looked a handful of games that he played for Barca.

Obviously Messi should win it no argument there, but RvP not even in the reckoning???
Holland making the WC final last year and his goals this year- WTF!

Who cares? Individual award in a very team oriented game - why care?

Where the feck is David Silva? He and RvP have been England's best players over the calendar year. Oh, they play for small clubs, I guess.

Mirth

More importantly, where's Gareth Bale?

Bale was a British joke. He's probably only 3rd or even 4th ,ost important player on his own team

Think of it like the goal and the assist, One manager wins a trophy, another assists him winning the trophy. It's just a recognition of his assists last year (premiership crumble, CC crumble, Barca crumble) add to that his player feeding assists to clubs over the summer it's a deserved nomination.

😆 Thats why he's so popular with his fellow managers.

Claudius

Some of his players literally hand out assists, as in Fabregas to Xavi in last season's Champions League
