It’s hard to argue Messi doesn’t deserve it, but it’s also probably hard to argue that a defender could ever win it if Van Dijk hasn’t.
By FootFungus Go To PostMessi won in a one team league, lost a cup final and got rekted by Liverpool. VVD got robbed.
The fact you’re referring to Barcelona as Messi tells you everything you need to know.
Incredible.
What a player m8s

Well it's the usual mindset of defensive players deserving credit less, and why it's hard to care about dumb awards like this.
Ah well
Would have liked VVD to win it but Messi has been the best player of the last year, as he has been every year since 2008

By Feorax Go To PostIt’s hard to argue Messi doesn’t deserve it, but it’s also probably hard to argue that a defender could ever win it if Van Dijk hasn’t.I can argue that Ramos could be a contender if a defender were to win it but yeah, VVD was a great candidate this year.
By Hitch Go To PostAh wellYeah I wouldn't have said it's undeserved had vvd won but Messi was truly incredible throughout the year/season and deserved it

It will always be harder for defenders since the generic/basic objective of the game is seen as: score more than your opponent, rather than concede less than your opponent
Goalscorers will forever be valued higher to fans, cost more, have higher wages, win more awards, more sponsors, fame etc.
Vvd will probably get the next one since he's winning at the very least the CL and EPL this season

By FootbalIFan Go To PostIncredible.I said it in jest, can't deny the demigod that is Messi.

By Hitch Go To Post¬¬He's a football fan, he's an expert.
vvd barely has a clean sheet this season, why would he get the balon dor. mane is the one that should be in the convo.
im sure vvd will cry himself to sleep tonight knowing he's the 2nd best player in the world, about to win Liverpool their first PL title, after having won the CL, while also being the cause of Messi's nightmares for best part of the year
By inky Go To Post6th best player in the world got lucky to win it tbhIs mctom the best
Just glanced the list... Mahrez at 10, really??? I can't argue much about that list, but putting him above Sterling seems ludicrous.

Despite the result, I'm actually feeling good about the club. I know that there's plenty of questions about the owner, board, coach situation and players but at least some steps are being taken. I believe that if Arsenal aren't careful, their top six spot might be overtaken by Lester or Wolves...
I think we've come to the point where we'll have to decide which striker we want to keep because this Laca/Auba pair just doesn't seem to be effective, I'd love to be proven wrong though. Bringing in Pepe looks like a big mistake atm, we should have gone in for a transformative defender instead.

but yeah, in hindsight. I do think he's a good player, but it's obvious Arsenal needs someone better at the back than getting Luis.
By Lambda Go To Posti'm alive just to see Mou's post match conference after Spurs smash UnitedMou will be complementary, unless the crowd shits on him during the match.
Would be happy if there's any snide remarks to our board though.
By Willkiller Go To PostSalah has been…off…for a while now. Bobby likewise has seen his goals dry up (though he contributes far more than just that), the front 3 might need some kind of rejuvenation/actual competition, Liverpool of all seasons cannot let this slip(heh). Bringing in real quality in Jan to get it over the line might not be a bad shout.
100%
Our performances are teetering, we're barely grinding out wins through sheer power of will right now. Our forwards are playing through injury and fatigue. If the title is in sight, we shouldn't hold back from anything we can stretch our finances to afford.
fuck
There is a story about Moyes from his time at Manchester United, when in order to help him prepare for an upcoming press conference, the club’s media team prepared him a sheet of likely questions he might receive. Moyes studied it intently, turned it over, and then with a mixture of incredulity and apoplexy blurted out: “But where’s the answers?”

I know we've thrown this word around a lot recently, but it's pure, unfiltered negligence if Ed doesn't at least drop Poch a phone call right now.

Have the work Xmas do this week. Concerned I'm going to be sitting beside the guy who spends all day on Guido Fawkes and calls people cucks.
Yeah Ronnie's sister is a bit too protective aye. Was just an innocent joke from big Verg, it's not like he doesn't respect Ronaldo as a player and won't acknowledge how good he has been over the years. And then she starts comparing trophy cabinets with a guy who's playing his second full season for a club that can actually win trophies. And comparing goalscoring records between a striker and a defender. That's a special kind of stupid.

Celtic pls.
(In fairness, VVD winning league titles with Celtic is equally as impressive as Ronaldo winning league titles with Juve....not impressive at all)
By FootbalIFan Go To PostI thought it was quite obvious vvd was joking/bantering
It is, but if there’s one player that himself/his fans wouldn’t have a sense of humour about his ability....
By Laboured Go To PostGoing to be absolutely tops when the inevitable happens.
I reckon he'll be in within the fortnight, pls no
