    Ballon d'Or shortlist: Gareth Bale (Real Madrid/Wales), Edinson Cavani (Paris St Germain/Uruguay), Radamel Falcao (Monaco/Colombia), Eden Hazard (Chelsea/Belgium), Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Paris St Germain/Sweden), Andres Iniesta (Barcelona/Spain), Philipp Lahm (Bayern Munich/Germany), Robert Lewandowski (Borussia Dortmund/Poland), Lionel Messi (Barcelona/Argentina), Thomas Muller (Bayern Munich/Germany), Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich/Germany), Neymar (Barcelona/Brazil), Mesut Ozil (Arsenal/Germany), Andrea Pirlo (Juventus/Italy), Franck Ribery (Bayern Munich/France), Arjen Robben (Bayern Munich/Netherlands), Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid/Portugal), Bastian Schweinsteiger (Bayern Munich/Germany), Luis Suarez (Liverpool/Uruguay), Thiago Silva (Paris St Germain/Brazil), Yaya Toure (Manchester City/Ivory Coast), Robin van Persie (Manchester United/Netherlands), Xavi (Barcelona/Spain).

    Coach of the year shortlist: Carlo Ancelotti (Real Madrid/ex-Paris St Germain), Rafael Benitez (Napoli/ex-Chelsea), Antonio Conte (Juventus), Vicente Del Bosque (Spain), Sir Alex Ferguson (ex-Manchester United), Jupp Heynckes (ex-Bayern Munich), Jurgen Klopp (Borussia Dortmund), Jose Mourinho (Chelsea/ex-Real Madrid), Luiz Felipe Scolari (Brazil), Arsene Wenger (Arsenal).

    Not quite sure how Pirlo and Xavi make it in over Martinez, Busquets and Vidal. Shame really.

    I'd probably go;

    1: Franck Ribery
    2: Lionel Messi
    3: Cristiano Ronaldo

    Bale really unlucky.

    w/ Heynckes as coach of the year.

    TOTY:

    ....................Messi....................
    Ronaldo...........Bale.............Ribery
    ....Schweinsteiger..Martinez..........
    Alaba.....Silva...Ramos(NFI).....Lahm
    ....................Neuer....................

    Disagree with Ribery being the winner tbh. If I'm honest, I only followed Bale loosely at Spurs, but I'd have thought he spent more time on the left wing than at CAM?

    Ugh can we just lock Hoeneß in jail, disband Bayern München and forget this football year already?

    Who would you have as the winner?

    Bale only at CAM because I couldn't leave out any of the front four and he spent the majority of January onwards there for Spurs so he goes there over Ribery/Ronaldo.

    I'd personally have Ronaldo, but I imagine Messi will probably get it.

    Fair enough. Like I said, I didn't realise how much he'd played at CAM.

    Ronaldo's deserved it the past 4 years yet they've gifted it to Messi. Why wouldn't they gift it to him this year as well?

    Like I've seen somewhere else, Messi as 1, Ronaldo as 2 and no one else should even get a vote.

    Messi shoulnd't be 1, but all the captains and managers of all the shite countries will pick him on rep as being better

    Yeah this. They've been miles and miles better than all other players for years and 2013 was no exception. Messi got 60 goals in 50 games last season. Ftr Ribery got 11 in 43.

    I'm just going to presume this is a sidenote and not your explanation for ranking Messi/Ronaldo ahead.

    Ronaldo is definitely a striker ftr. Just happens to play wide because he has a tantrum if he's played centrally.

    I'm just providing perspective. If you think Ribery's improving sense of defensive responsibility makes up for him scoring 1/5 of the goals, assisting 1/2 and playing a tiny fraction of the passes that Messi does then, um, sure, whatever.

    Best player of a treble winning team last shouldn't be looked at over someone whose whole team is based around giving them the ball in a worse league?

    You're talking about Germany, surely? Have you seen Schalke or Leverkusen play lately?

  18. Uppercut CB Faldo

    Yeah, which shows just how crap a league it is.

    Atletico are a point behind Barca and five ahead of Real anyway.

    All leagues are crap. There exist three teams in the world.

    Hooray.
