Players know *bleep* all lol, been saying it for years. Because you play the sport don't mean you know anything about it.

Ronaldo is essentially there because of the residual effect of the Messi-Ronaldo duopoly . Laughing

he shouldn't be in the podium , especially after his lackluster form this season .

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Fri Nov 27, 2015 11:12 pm

I'm fine with Ronaldo tbh, he shouldn't be there but yeah.

It's the Mascherano and Bale nonsense lmao.

Yeah I agree with this. Although I would say 'most players' to be politically correct and not generalize all players because obviously there are some that understand the game very well.

Fair tbh.

I can't wait for the Roy Hodgson vote..

Spoiler:

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Fri Nov 27, 2015 11:19 pm

Hodgson voted Mascherano as #1 last year or the year before lol.

Everyone is taking Maradona's quote about wishing he could have a team of Mascherano's to heart lol.

And just because Pistone had retired

Vidal was the second best player in Copa America after Messi.

Lewa knew otherwise he'd get a sound spanking in the club after his votes of the year before were published and he didn't vote Manu Neuer then Laughing

Interestingly he seems to fear Vidal more than Müller, though hmm

BREAKING - Messi, Neymar and C.Ronaldo are the three Balon d'or finalists.

didn't see that coming tbh

Aaaaaand no suarez. Ronaldo u pleb

by Pedram Mon Nov 30, 2015 1:28 pm

Suarez should be in the top three instead of Cristiano.

by RealGunner Mon Nov 30, 2015 2:59 pm

Sampaoli
Guardiola
Messi

are the final 3 managers

I won't mind Sampaoli winning it tbh. But Messi did win a treble. Guardiola dressed well for a whole season so maybe he is up there too

In all fairness, Messi didn't deserve to be there last year either.

by Valkyrja Mon Nov 30, 2015 3:02 pm

People arguing about Cristiano being there, but Guardiola being there is a bigger farce Laughing

Please name another manager who you would like instead then lol.

I would have had Count Max there tbh

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Mon Nov 30, 2015 3:23 pm

Forgot about him lol, that's fair enough tbh.

Still though, it's basically the equivalent of Ronaldo vs Suarez IMO.

Not really because at least Pep led his team to a trophy lol Laughing

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Mon Nov 30, 2015 3:26 pm

So did Allegri hmm

by RealGunner Mon Nov 30, 2015 3:33 pm

Allegri deserved it more than Pep. Double and a CL final.

but Guardiola spent more money in Debenhams (:

I meant Pep had a trophy so you could say he had a shout at being there. CR won nothing and did nothing in big games whilst Suarez was an important piece for Barcelona, scored CL winner, Scored el classico winner, was clutch against City, was clucth against Atletico in copa and league, was clutch against Bayern in second leg, demolished RM again this season etc. Suarez has been much better than CR this season.
