or me

I think the Balloon should win the Ballon

Terry wtf

Every time

That @#%&! has won UEFA Defender of the year for two years running For winning £#%&! all What is it with UEFA & their love in for Chelsea, at the 08 awards after we had beat them in the final Chelsea players won GK, Defender & Midfielder of the year & between that is all they won

tbh chelsea were really good last season in champions league. they gave barcelona a very good game and probably were the better team over 2 legs. we just capitulated against barcelona because of our weak midfield.

Is it just me that thinks Xavi is better than Iniesta? The latter is still brilliant btw.

No chance, Iniesta was unbelievable last year and i thought he was their best player.

Messi will win this though, no doubt. He should win it every year to be fair as some of the things he does are mind bogglingly good.

Down to ten finalists. Nice to see Wazza getting some recognition:

Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal, Manchester United puis Real Madrid)
Didier Drogba (Côte d'Ivoire, Chelsea)
Samuel Eto'o (Cameroun, FC Barcelone puis Inter Milan)
Steven Gerrard (Angleterre, Liverpool)
Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Suède, Inter Milan puis FC Barcelone)
Andres Iniesta (Espagne, FC Barcelone)
Kaka (Brésil, Milan AC puis Real Madrid)
Lionel Messi (Argentine, FC Barcelone)
Wayne Rooney (Angleterre, Manchester United)
Xavi (Espagne, FC Barcelone)

£#%&!ing Gerrard.

Yeah, I was predicting the result though, Messi is nailed on to win it due to the position he plays.
