The chat's about who was the best player last season, not who's had the best career ye pish soaked alky shambles. Link to comment

Dynamo Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Has the Ballon D'Or always been a big thing? Honestly don't remember anyone giving a shit about it 20 years ago when the likes of Michael Owen were winning it. Link to comment

OddJob Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Absolutely no way should Messi have won it this year. Joke of an award Link to comment

So why are you talking about what Messi's achieved over the last 15 years? That's irrelevant to who was best last season or this calendar year, which is what the Ballon d'Or recognises.

aberdeen1970 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I don't think Messi should have got it this year. But to be fair he did score 40 goals and won the Copa America. Not bad for being probably the worst 12 months in his entire career. Link to comment

Is winning the Copa America that big a deal if you play for Argentina? Brazil are the only other big international side in the competition, it's not a patch on winning the Euros. Link to comment

I’m just saying it’s par for the course with messi. there were some football geeks I was reading\ hearing that were explaining why he won it. all the la liga stat bollox like goals, assists etc. etc. and same in copa america (which I’d argue is a big trophy even if you are Argentinan) Link to comment

I think the fact that that's the first time they've won it during his career made it a bigger deal. I'm not defending Messi getting the vote BTW. I was just saying that even his worst year is better than just about every other player's best. Shows the level he's actually achieved in previous years was ridiculously high. Link to comment
Poodler Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I met a boy on Saturday night who was a Liverpool/ hun fan. Never met one of them before Was provoking him by saying Reece James (Chelsea defender) is currently the best player in the world. Mental how serious some folk take that chat. Will anyone care about the Ballon once Messi/ Ronald retire? I’d be surprised if they didn’t can it Link to comment

Parklife Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Messi probably only the second best player in the world this year, after Benzema. Being the best player, top goalscorer, top assists & captaining his team to victory in the Copa America probably tipped it in his favour. He should have about 3 more Balon D'ors than he does already, so I've no issue with him winning it when he's maybe only been the second best player on the planet. Link to comment
thurso Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Messi is the best player that ever lived id say (well apart from eion jess) in his shit season he is still better than most are in their best. Giving the best player in the world a few years ago to modric was more political Link to comment

Dynamo Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Interesting. I'd consider them as the Celtic of Spain. Real Madrid are surely the huns. Spanish football though. LOL. Link to comment

Ramandu Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Barcelona being investigated for bribing refs over the last couple of decades. They admit the payments but say it was for video reports of referees. I don't know how much a wee bit of referee analysis costs but £7m sounds pretty pricey. I am shocked. So very shocked. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66946236 Link to comment
Poodler Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 That game against Chelsea with Drogba and Ballack going aff the heed was 100% a bought ref. tbh if I was a billionaire I’d buy the refs to get the Huns relegated Link to comment
