I'm reading his book atm, he probably nominates himself

Having read his book, I'm starting to warm to him tbh. He's as £#%&! and generally deals in the spectacular. Definitely worth a nomination over the likes of Balotelli ffs.

Balotelli, Rooney, Ozil, Neuer, Buffon, Alonso

Embarrassing list.

edit; zlatan ffs.

Agreed although putting all the mad shit aside etc he really is a £#%&!ing brilliant player, his record speaks for itself tbh. Shits all over a lot of so called top players.

Anyway Messi deserves to win as he is on another planet to that whole list.

we all know it's a list of 2. I'd give it to ronnie, not messi.

it will be betwen rooney and rvp next year.

word

agreed on Ronaldo he has to win it this year ffs

How the £#%&! did Balotelli get in there FFS. There are even players in that team who are more deserving, viz. Kompany. Hilarious really.

Defenders are so underappreciated, aren't they?

it's a joke I hate Kompany but he was their best player last season, but he has been found wanting in Europe and has been £#%&! this season, long may it continue

I wonder if that slapped arse Ronaldo will go in the huff if he doesn't win. He will forever be in the shadow of Messi and it eats away at him.

Shut. Up.

Would love to see Xavi win it, but it's got to be Messi. Four in a row ffs

Big Bosqers for 'Coach of the Year'.

Messi probably deserves it. Ronnie must £#%&!ing despise him.

Big Jose for Coach of the Year. Yet another League title in yet another country.
