    Congrats indeed .... But a bit of a farce. What the point of having a 'shortlist' of 30.
    Should be a shortlist of 2. Messi and Ronaldo Boring.

    You say it's boring but in all honesty could you say that there has been better players than those two in each of the years they won it. The gap is starting to close but even this year it kinda should go to either one of them or Suarez. If it doesn't then it's a bigger farce.

    I predict it'll be 1st Ronaldo (won Euros + Champions League), 2nd Messi (because it's Messi) 3rd Greizmann (he is French).

    I remember losing to bottom of the table Rotherham on Boxing Day and being as miserable as f@#$ for the rest of the holidays. Couldn't have dreamt we'd be looking at any of our players on the Ballon d'Or nominations list.

    I was always hopeful things would improve....
