Congratulations to Paul, who I assume won this

Obviously individual awards in team sports are pretty much bullshit. But what the fuck did that creepy midget do to warrant it? Been plenty more consistently better players over the last year.

I’d have gone for Lewandowski.

Mohamed Salah should have won that, he's been outstanding.

Been much better than Messi. As has Kante and Ruben Dias.

But then they don’t play in the right country to be fair…

Three criteria apparently, not just medals...

The following qualifications are considered by the jury:

Individual and collective performances (winners) during the year.
Player class (talent and fair play).
Overall judgment of the player's career.

Balloon of bollocks.

Todd Cantwell wasn't even considered.

Who the fuck voted for the players who finished 29th and 30th???

It's just a Beauty-Contest, isn't it?

I liked it in the olden days, when the winner was the one that scored the most goals ... but if you did that now you'd just get wrestling over who would take the penalty.
What a fucking load of crap, ten seconds of entertainment somehow lasting ten hours on a telly wank -show.

Giving out an annual award with that as one of the major criterion is properly belmish

“He played like a right cunt this year, broke four legs and scored thirty own goals”

“Yeah, but he won the Champions League a couple of times a few years back”

Aka The Ballon d'Phil Jones
