@A_G: Much better than fans stabbing other fans.

Just because you can stab people doesn't make vandalism any better

The winner of the ballon d'Ore and Fifa world player of the year is LIONEL MESSI!!!

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

For me it was
Sneijder>Chavi>Messi>Iniesta

but whatever.

 

[abyss88]

thats why your're not on the jury

yeah but Xavi and Iniesta deserved it more since they won the world cup (and the reason behind Messi's success)

 

[Liverpool_fan]

Xavi totally deserved it. An absolute class of a midfielder and the main reason behind the successes of Barca and Spain. Messi is good but didn't deserve it anywhere near Xavi.
@A_G:
And Sneijder better than Xavi eh? I remember you rated Fab better than Sneijder not so long ago. So Fab better than Xavi eh

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

You say Xavi totally deserved it,is he a better player than Messi?
Sneijder was the key for Inter Milan's treble and was a WC finalist,scoring 5 goals in the process.Best of both worlds really.

Btw. that post was my preference for Ballon D'or,not who is better than whom.
Just to clear up.

 

[Liverpool_fan]

Well Xavi was immense for Spain during the world cup, and for Barcelona to the European Cup Semifinal.
Sneijder has been pretty lacklustre (injuries I think?) during the first half of this season, and since this award is given on basis of the Calender year and not the season, he will lay behind Xavi. I would have been agreed with you though if the award was based on the season 2009-10 + WC.

 

[abyss88]

In the end the Barcelona youth academy deserves accolades for producing such fine players.

 

[Liverpool_fan]

Barcelona also have a large prying zone as compared to English clubs though. They have large geographical area for finding and grooming talent with only Espanyol as a major competitor. Compare it to Liverpool fighting with Everton, ManYoo, City, Blackburn, heck Leeds and the Birmingham based clubs aren't far. Same for the london clubs fighting it out.

That said full credit to Barcelona for not only finding talent but making them great players and playing good football in the process.

And a certain Arsene Wenger (the youth hunter)

Not better by any means. Disgraceful and pathetic, those minority of fans give a bad name to the fantastic travelling kop.

Just because you can stab people doesn't make vandalism any better

When disgruntled fans have to show their anger and would take vandalism any day than killing/stabbing to satisfy their urge.
Both are wrong but we don't live in Gandhian world, do we?

That image reminds me Aamir's movie Ghulam

Messi got that award Maybe Maradona paid them a visit.

 

[XTerminator]

Fair play Messi.ther best player in the world gets the award.

QPR unite to condemn El Hadji Diouf after bad day at Blackburn | Football | The Guardian

gem of a player he should be guillotined right in front of the QPR fans and should be made to hear their taunts

 

[thetechfreak]

Iniesta and Xavi were contenders....but Messi...dont fully agree

 

[XTerminator]

Arsene Wenger - World Coach of the Decade? Wow. Half those years he hasn't won anything. But, good man, Arsene

 

[abyss88]

off topic

suffering from indigestion

bloody cold here brrrr

 

[Joker]

i see iniesta's name popping up by naabs...talking about the previous season he was plagues by injuries and only scored the wining goal in the WC.

Messi, Xavi and Sneijder had to be contenders.

sneijder = instrumental to champions league winning & WC finalists
messi = best player in the world
Xavi = instrumental for WC winners

there you see...

Ballond'roaoira or FIFA world player of the year...both are joke. no one really cares.

someone said Henry didn't get Ballon d'or cuz he didn't win the UCL with Arsenal when he was twice the runner up for the award...oh well. what did Zidane get it for in 2003? and Fabio Cannavaro in 2006? long haired brazillian when he got 2nd time??

lastly, Nedved @ Juve > zidane @ madrid....he didn't get the award too...infact never a runner up! no disrespect to zidane though! (world player of the year)

edit: i see michael owen won it too ballon d'or

these awards are given by knobheads, no one really cares. end of.

Er what spurred them to have to show their anger?
Urge to vandalism has caused far severe tragedies (Heysel) than scattered stabbings let me tell you that.
