    The thought of any serious football person looking at that chelsea mess (terrible keeper and back 4 and bang average forward) is hilarious.

    The thought nobody can see thst city are one knock to the ankle away from 4th is hilarious. Haaland is.seperating them from the mundane right now.

    Arsenal should be favourites. They were before we showed what Ekitike was really like, never mind turned up with gravenberch and szoboszlai twice as good as last year as they mature into the league even more.

    Arsenal have gone really narrow, really negative and have a slow arsed forward who may well be the worst of the forwards traded over the summer. Arteta has ****ed that right up.

    Also this. Ours to lose after winning the title comfortably and then spending over £400m appears to be the general gist. Get the feeling that anything less than the quadruple will be seen as underachievement in some quarters.

    love the way they never seem to take into account the sales and the tragic loss of Jota when spaffing about £400m never mind the total of £10m spent last year when we bought in far more while winning the league.

    Alisson finishes 2nd in Keeper of year award behind Donnurama. Don’t think can argue with that one, won everything going last year at PSG

    Mac finished 22nd
    Vvd 28th
    wirtz 29th

    Salah in top 10 but unlikely to win it.

    Hard to argue against dembele. Obviously Salah on an individual was incredible, but CL winner generally always wins it.

    How Yamal was 2nd was the crazy one though. Wasn’t anywhere as good as dembele or Salah last year - just lots of good PR as a young player.

    He'll play to the best of his ability. I know some don't like his views on gayness, but he otherwise comes across as a decent professional. I hope he plays well and scores their consolation goal in a 1-5 win. And that motivates him to deflect all the foreign offers coming his way on Jan 1st. :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Dembele is a fair winner

    The women's was a joke. Give it to the Barca player who won the league title where the biggest challenge to Barcelona is divine intervention. Just had a look they've won the last 6 titles.

    Mbappe in 7th. Why? WTAF did Mbappe do last season? Seriously, somebody tell me how Mbappe had a better season than Gakpo or Isak, never mind Harry Kane, or even Scott ****ing McTominey. :emoticon-0112-wonde

    Genuin question to a couple of posters on here. How many times did you see Yamal or Mbappe play last year. Only asking because i think the most i saw of either of them was about 4 games and they looked pretty good in those. The thing is though these things are based on a full season (a lot of games).

    think you will find most of the voters didn't watch that many . Half the time it is just based on the CL / International tournaments and publicity .

    The things aren’t based on a full season though. They should be I agree, but they aren’t. Salah has the best stats across the whole season of any forward in terms of goals / assists, but it’s he’s my favoured on the later ends of the year. Dembele first half of the season was average but had a very good Jan onwards - still not surpassing Salahs numbers despite Salahs drop off in the final few months.

    Unfortunately, it’s generally done on whoever was the best player of the team that won the CL. Like I said, no complaints dembele winning it, he was best player of the best team. But that’s not always the case.

    Like anything though, it’s a popularity contest, yamal was very good last year and stats for 17 year old and how he played in Cl was ridiculous, but no chance he was better than Salah last year who swept the board in the Prem. Heck Raphinha was being talked about by many as having a better season for Barca than Yamal, but he got the Barca PR and commercially that probably makes sense as they know can push him to incredible commercial heights to bring in the €

    Saying that, from 2 downwards it doesn’t really matter who finishes where as no one pays that much attention to it.

    Saw yamal several times.

    Saw mbappe stink the place out for Madrid and France.

    Saw dembele enough to know psg bought the results prior to their falling out with Donna the flapper.

    The lad can run but he cant hit the broadside of a barn with a banjo from 5 yards.

    Yamal was the better more exciting .ore consistent player.

    Salah went to bits for the final 3rd of season. 4th was actually good.
