Thanks to WC he might have a decent chance

It really is amazing how much better he is than everyone else at his position.
Just think how incredible Courtois is, and then you realize Neuer is just in a different stratosphere.
Unbelievable player.
Nope. Lahm deserves it most for me.
He has the best technical ability I have ever seen from a GK.
Neville is just great.
If Kahn couldn't win ballon d'or, no goalkeeper can. That was the pinnacle of goalkeeping and it was only good enough for second place.
Signed for Cardiff permanently.

I have two posters on ignore but then you cunts always go and quote them when they post anyway
Also I miss pulga/FF fights

I remember them being in it 2005 right?, but that time I was in college in US and watching PL games was basically impossible. I just followed United results online
I didn't really start following and watching games more regularly till 4-5 years ago.
We were actually in it in 2010 (the year we got relegated). Runner up in the FA Cup, when Kevin Price-Boateng injured Ballack just before the World Cup.

You had me confused on it being Southampton. Realized you are talking about Portsmouth

Hasn't Neuer made some mistakes this season already?

YES!
Falcao

I wish United still had him. He would be an excellent back up.
He always has them.
His style is obviously alot more risky, but also more rewarding.

HurriKane and the next Shearer aka Wilson will boot Welburg and Sturridge out the window in 3 years.

None that's led to goals yet since the BuLi started.
That was some bullshit though, especially the extension of the voting period. The in-detail analysis of the voting showed some of the problems of the system as well. Still a good choice though.
Well, Ronaldo's had a better year individually than Neuer. /adnauseumargument
Not sure who should start at CB to be honest. Evans has been shit this year, McNair is too inexperienced. Feels weird saying I want Smalling to play.
Valencia's a decent option though, whether starting or off the bench. Can defend, brings physicality.
Doesn't matter if Falcao's available m8. Waz and Rob are.
YES!

It is against QPR doe, hardly renowned at keeping the ball :lol. Villa look fucking inept when they have to control a game.
Was the goal good?

Don't really think he's a shoe in for the Balon D'or. He's gotten hot right now at the right time to sway voters, but he was injured in the 2nd half of last season wasn't he? That contributed to his awful performance in the CL final and he ended up missing the 2nd leg of the Dortmund tie. He also had a bad World Cup. People will cite the CL goal record, but you have to remember that some of those goals were actually used for last season's balon d'or voting.
Though I'm not sure who should get it.
edit: 9 of Ronaldo's goals came in the group stages, which were all before November 29, the deadline to vote for the Balon D'or due to extending the time period.
You mean he stopped posting so often
Ouch!

Fair point, although I'm not sure I can name one other player in better form than he is currently. Actually, he's in a league of his own - averaging 2 goals per game. I'm pretty sure he'll get it, he deserves it.

The record (17 goals) means crap in my eyes because more than half of those goals were counted for last year's balon d'or voting. It would be awful if they ended up counting 9 of those goals for 2 years of balon d'or voting.
Still I can't see anyone else winning as he's on fire at the moment. Think Messi has a chance if he goes on a scoring run, but it doesn't look like he will.

Zidane has been banned from coaching for 3 months because he doesn't have all qualifications to do it. Apparently has a level 2 license, but needs a Level 3 license. :lol
He likes to head first into things and take the consequences afterwards.
Perfect Blue
Banned
Feels weird as fuck being single and not having another chick waiting in the wings. What an existence
fuck off m8

Aguero gonna run wild at that defense. Honestly don't trust either of those CBs to do well against a striker that is good on his feet. Might as well stick with Rojo - Smalling and keep consistency going.
Falcao please over RVP
Our new replacement keeper :lol
Muller?
now the Reina signing is even more pointless, fuck Pep
