What I LOVE about Wilbury is he recognizes a talent without undermining him or taking credit away from him even when that player plays in a team he really does not like.

If I wanted to ever take a football fan's view on a player with NO bias NO shit slinging and just the FACTS I'll go to Wilbury.

"Football thread 2012 Cleverley for Ballon d'Or" made by Wilbury.

:p

I agree, even though he hasn't built a bridge over the 2 finals, he is still usually pretty fair.

Was he better than Messi though? No, of course not.

By sheer skill probably not. But as you said. Ribery is not expendable and cannot be replaced by anybody in Bayerns squad. He got all the attention in the media and marketing so its only logical that he wins this award. Its a perfect PR machine and gets even more kiddies begging for Messi kits.

Pardew on Cabaye: "What I have said to YC is I expect him to play this weekend." Is he receptive? "I think so but we'll have to wait & see"

Wow. You let him know who's boss, Pards.

It's interesting how's spurs are not deemed as "ruining football"

LOL you idiot. Spurs make money (net profit after tax and player trading) every single year and we're just about to sell Bale for £90m. We balance the books and a cash positive, every single year. If our owner decided one morning to sell the club we would be fine and continue to exist going forwards much the same as we are at the moment. If the Arabs decided to sell Man City to a less wealthy benefactor I could easily see a Leeds style collapse.

Didn't Spurs record a loss last season?

Ask yourselves, if Messi and Ronaldo did not exist and a player scored 60 goals in a season, would you not vote him as being the best performer?

I think Messi and Ronaldo's ridiculous scoring has made people forget how amazing those type of seasons really are. Before them, if 1 player went out and scored 60 goals everyone would unanimously choose them. That many goals seem ordinary now.

Thanks a lot Ronaldo and Messi.

It started with Ronaldo's insane 42 goal season...few years later Messi took it to 73 lol.

That is ridiculous when you consider some of the greatest strikers to have played rarely/never even got 35+ a season.

I don't understand why we do this... We talk to players agents, make lowball bids and make players unsettled. But then we don't follow up with a suitable bid that will secure the player. WTF is the point. I'd hate to be the club at the opposite end of the negotiating table to us.

We are a laughing stock.

Any of the PS4 boys interested in a Vita? Nows your chance.

Vita, FIFA13, 10 games (the bundled ones), 8GB memory card, 1 month PS+

£149.99

Fuck. I just bought mine under 2 weeks ago. Was some pre-owned in really good condition Vita with a 16gb card. For £140.

FIFA 13 is just some rehashed shit on Vita anyways, fuck EA to death.

Related to the NDP. They capitalised the company with £25m from the group last season from what I remember.

Plus, the football club side was cash positive, despite a ~ £10m loss on player trading. The company made a loss on some property investments and of course £25m used to capitalise a company with basically zero value.

Quagliarella? I think I would rather have Bendtner back in the squad.

What is wrong with the people running our club, we have no plan at all and only 12 fit senior players.

No kidding. Always thought Bendtner was a good striker if he could only get his shit together and get some psychiatric help.

Isn't it enough to say that he's fucking beautiful

Isn't it, Salva

I think Giroud's okay actually. Surprises me sometimes with the goals he scores and some nice touches, but its because Arsenal create a bunch of chances that it would be criminal not to score.

He's certainly not good enough to lead the line of a Champions League club, but second choice would be awight

I think the perfect group from a neutral standpoint would be Barcelona, PSG, Man City and Napoli.

And the shittest group obviously Benfica, Schalke, Olympiakos, Vienna. So I just hope we can take Benfica's place xoxo.

I'm excited. Nervous but excited. No Frogson influence anymore. Juventus is coming. It is known.
