How was he robbed? 

Messi led Europe in goals, dwarfs anyone else in chances created, most FK's and most hattricks. 

It's become a farce that this award used to emphasise who won the the CL or who won a international competition vs who actually was the best in Europe. 

he failed at the big trophies

and he plays in a pinball league with horrific defences

if he played in the EPL for his career he would have well over 100 less league goals

part of the reason the Spanish teams go so deep all the time in the CL is that they can coast in the league except when they play each other, put them in the EPL and have the snot beaten out of them every week and it would take a toll

and he is a World Cup choker ( a national team choker in general) ZERO Sr trophies

I don't like Messi (although he did deserve some of his Ballons d'Or)

he can never be rated the best player ever IMHO unless he somehow wins the WC in December 2022, plus he doesn't even have a far easier to win Copa America trophy, at least CR7 took a truly shit Portuguese team to a Euro trophy

VAR review for offsides

We're lucky our rivals dropped points as well bar Tottenham, hopefully Lampard is in front of the tv studying Aston Villa right now.

That's hardly true, we have got big time rub of the green to have our CL campaign still in our hands.

Manure draws 2 2 FT

CAN SOMEONE JUST BEAT LEICESTER?! JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!! 

[Nicco 927]

Draw between Tottenham and United next week would be great.

[LAM09 6,840]

CAN SOMEONE JUST BEAT LEICESTER?! JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!! 

Might happen when they play a notable side. Last defeat was against that Utd side, so..

They last lost to Liverpool in early October, which was also the last time they dropped points. Both of their losses have been via penalties. Their next 3 league games...

Watford (h)
Villa (a)
Norwich (h)

I mean...never mind.

Leicester deserved the win

they were the better team

they are probably a better team than us for NOW (IF they stay healthy)

I do NOT rate any other team above us (save for the dippers and Shitty)

Mou or no Mou, we simply must finish above Spuds again

and absolutely there is ZERO chance I rate Manure or Arse above us (regardless of who will be their new managers)

 (OGS soon will be sacked, it basically has to happen)

When is the ban hearing next week? We urgently need another striker and only chance to get Werner and Sancho before other teams enter a bidding war in the summer.

I should have mentioned against the rest. Liverpool are a class above IMO.

I wouldn't say anything is a given tbh. Watford might bounce back after recent developments as well

Manchester United have been dealt a major body blow after Express Sport has learnt Mauricio Pochettino would have to repay Tottenham his £12.5million pay-off if he takes another Premier League job this season

The Red Devils are desperate to sign Red Bull Salzburg striker Erling Haaland

United chief executive Ed Woodward has made a final decision over Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s future

The Red Devils have been tipped to sign Robert Lewandowski in the January window  <<<<< LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

 

Haaland update

Manchester United are keen to sign Red Bull Salzburg striker Erling Haaland in the January transfer window but much could depend on what happens with Paul Pogba.

Mino Raiola represents both players and for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to sign Haaland he may end up having to sell Pogba.

Solskjaer is determined to land Haaland but Raiola could play a key role in forcing the sale of Pogba to allow the transfer for the starlet to go through.

At the moment, the super-agent is believed to want the teenager to join Serie A giants Juventus.
