elektra80: I think we all already know who the deserved winner is, sentiments apart. If some Nigerians can agree that Yaya Toure is the deserved winner then no doubt he should win it. If u ask 10 Nigerians who should win, 6 would probably say Mikel and 2 would say Moses and 2 Yaya. That is a good point for Yaya considering its Nigeria. Now go outside Nigeria, Africa this time around and ask 10 people.. 7 would probably pick Yaya Toure and Mikel and Moses would share 3 votes. Now go out of Africa and to the rest of the world, ask 10 people and all 10 would pick Yaya Toure.

Nuff Said

The population of CIV is not up to half the population of just lagos state.So even if all CIV vote for yaya and Nigeria's votes are divided between mikel and moses.
If a lot of people vote,The votes 4rm CIV wouldnt still reach dat of either mikel or moses.
And 4rm what i've noticed,majority of nigerians are voting for only mikel.

I think you lot are underestimating the numbers of Europeans who will vote most especially Man City fans and Liverpool fans who are more passionate about their own players

Do you know what Mikel thinks of Yaya Toure?


Yaya Toure scares me-Mikel

Chelsea star John Obi Mikel in an interview ahead the premier league tie against Man City has admitted that he’s is having a difficult time in thinking of how to silence Ivorian Yaya Toure on Sunday.

Chelsea head to the Etihad Arena to take on Manchester City later on Sunday and Mikel has warned his team-mates to be wary of Yaya Toure and the danger he poses.

Yaya Toure fear

With so many talented players at City’s disposal, Mikel in an interview with chelseafc.com said he is aware that the task of beating their host is a big one and has thus singled out a midfield rival as one of the men Chelsea will need to keep quiet if the Stamford Bridge outfit are to stand any chance of securing the right result.

-If I'm selected to play I will need to think of how to deal with Yaya. You have to try not to let him run beyond you, if you commit yourself he's gone.Mikel remarked.

-He is always a key player for Manchester City, especially when he plays slightly further forward and not in a defensive role. When he charges up front that's when he's so dangerous.

-It surprises me he doesn't play there more often but when they are struggling Mancini tends to throw him forward.

Guess what happened in the match and guess who was meant to be marking Yaya

Statistical look into who is the best midfield player in the Premier League last season and this season

Last season there were 3 players that dominated this area, with Mikel Arteta joining both Yaya Toure and Michael Carrick in the top 3.

1st place – Mikel Arteta – 80.9 passes per game

2nd place – Yaya Toure – 78.9 passes per game

3rd place – Michael Carrick – 77.1 passes per game

4th place – Steven Gerrard – 66.3 passes per game

The gulf between 3rd and 4th shows how dominant the top 3 were in this area, and how key this particular statistic is to their game, but how does it shape up this season so far?

1st place – Yaya Toure – 81.9 passes per game

2nd place – Michael Carrick – 80.6 passes per game

3rd place – David Silva – 75.4 passes per game

4th place – Jose Canas – 73.7 passes per game.

Yaya Toure is currently edging out the England midfielder by 1.3 passes per game, which shows the margins being worked under and how similar these two players are.

Pass Success %

Obviously the key part of being crowned ‘pass master’ is the percentages of passes you get right in games, in this case it is very important due to stray passes being poor and will undoubtedly put their team under unnecessary pressure.

Statistically speaking this is where the two players vary significantly, but last season this wasn’t the case

12/13 season:

Yaya Toure – 88.9% - 2245 out of 2525 accurate

Michael Carrick – 88.1% - 2443 out of 2774 accurate

This shows that both players were again, in similar boundaries to each other but when compared to this season, for Michael Carrick it’s not good reading:

13/14 season:

Yaya Toure – 91.3% - 748 out of 819 accurate

Michael Carrick – 86.9% - 630 out of 725 accurate

The Manchester United midfielder has dropped 1.2% from his average last season, and currently 4.4% behind Yaya Toure this term who has raised his average from last season.

Boy dont talk about 2012 ballon d'oor,talk about 2012 BBC african player of d year award.
its an award dat covers 12 months,but did katongo won it.
Katongo did well only at AFCOn after dat,he faded completely 4 both club and country.
Katongo was playing for a midtable team in d CHINESE LEAGUE !!!!!!.
This same Yaya toure was on fire last year,his last year's performance was 10times better dan dis year's.He won d EPL and yet Katongo won it ahead of him.
If Katongo could win it ahead of yaya last yr,then i see no reason why mikel cant win it dis year.
This is different 4rm CAF awards were only coaches votes.
This is determined by african fan-votes.Even my grandpa in d village can vote !!!!.
All 5 has equal chances of winning it no matter how many hatricks yaya scores regularly.Becos it is determined by african FAN VOTES !!!!!..
If mikel has d highest no of votes,he will win it.
And nigeria has d population to vote mikel to win it,majority of nigerians will.
I repeat if Katong could win d last one over yaya,then why not mikel this year ??

Like I said its not a CAF/FIFA recognised award, its an award for the BBC Radio Africa listeners for I care they could give it to Mamadou Traore its all down to who could vote the most

Well in 2012 Real Madrid won La Liga, Chelsea won CL, Spain won the European Championship

The Ballon D'Or went to Lionel Messi who won Sweet FA

You sef think am, if we judge based on club performance Katongo wouldn't have made the list, even less won it. So as much as you'd like to disprove this FACT, BBC African Footballer of the Year is based 90% on AFCON performance and 10% on club performance. Yaya is good, but he won't win. EOD

Lord have mercy!!

If the award is based on 90% of AFCON, can you explain the list below because the only 2 bolded won when there country won the AFCON, Essien didnt even go to the AFCON in 2006

2000 Cameroon Patrick Mboma Italy Cagliari / ItalyParma
2001 Ghana Samuel Kuffour Germany Bayern Munich

safarigirl: Yaya has been nominated 5 times consecutively for this award and he's NEVER wön it with all his purported 'brilliance'. So tey even Katongo won over him. Truth is Mikel stands a greater chance of winning; Chelsea fans all over Africa love him, he was excellent at AFCON, Man City isn't popular in Africa hence not many people outside West Africa follow Yaya's performances AND he failed to give a good account of himself at AFCON to the rest of Africa (EA, NA, SA). Ask anyone outside of WA and they'll identify Mikel faster than Toure. No splitting of votes #VoteMIKEL #TeamMIKEL

As at Vettel's gearbox failure who was leading? Him or Hamilton?

Well before Hamilton's tyre blow out an 8 second lead looks like its in the bag

Kovy won a race that Lewis had a puncture and Massa retired, Even Timo Gloak came in 2nd

Fastest lap is not the most credible judge of the speed of a car. Esteban Gutierrez and Sergio Perez have set fastest laps without necessarily owning the fastest car.

We are talking about an era of starting the car with less fuel, Bridgestone tyres, and era where a poor car cannot produce the fastest lap.

If Lewis never wins another WDC then Que Sera he is simply not good enough

Thats fair enough, James Hunt only one WDC in an epic battle against Lauda, John Surtee won one title, one Indy 500, Moto GP 250, 500, Le Mans............. Mansell won 1 title


The same McLaren that was the fastest car in 07 and 08 as well? Didn't Hamilton come 2nd in his rookie year and win the title in his sophomore? Was that car designed by Newey too? 2010 and 2012 McLaren also had a very good car if they were not reliable its hardly Vettel's fault he also had reliability issues

Wow as they say Knowledge is power!

The McLaren MP4-21 that was designed by Adrian Newey for Kimi was slightly altered for the McLaren MP4-22 that was driven by Lewis Hamilton in 2007, the 2008 McLaren MP4-23 still had features of the McLaren MP4-21 but due to the allegation of the Ferrari details been found with McLaren employees they had to design a new car but still using the old chassis. McLaren wasnt the fastest car in 2008 McLaren had 3 fastest laps in 18 races compared to Ferrari's 13 and BMW's 2, in 2007 Ferrari had 11 to McLaren's 6

Who were the elite drivers at the time? Surely you have to agree that the quality on the field now is not what it was then

Really!!!!

They had faster cars, with more powerful engines back then, No KERS, No Traction system, No DRS, No differentials, refuelling and harder tyres, dear devil driving. To win with a Ford Zetec V8 engine when the rest of the field was using either a V10 or V12 Ferrari or Renault engine.

The current car engine is a 2.4 V8, so do you think Vettel could win in a 2.4 V6 engine?

Hell No he would struggle to beat a Catenham!

Why support Webber when Vettel was still in with a fighter's chance?

Like I said the 2010 WDC was more like a title Alonso handed over due to the brain fart in the team because Alonso started in 3rd position he only needed 5th position to win the WDC but finished 7th.....

he had zero chance of winning that race!
Really? Webber didn't need to win the race, to win the title he only need 3rd place and be ahead of Alonso, so tell why did they bring him in on lap 11 on a tyre that his rivals took to lap 25 to 30 (Button used his tires to lap 40) common that's been royally screwed!!!

Every car is usually tailored to each driver's preference! Red Bull have nothing to gain by screwing Webber as they need his points to win the Constructor's Championship

Oh dear!!!


Up to the Spanish GP he had two wins

Name the 2 wins Vettel had before Catalunya race in 2012? or you talking about 2013

Silverstone Ross Brawn said it would have been an easy win for Lewis

Everyone was complaining about the tyres even Ferrari were among the biggest complainants

That was Redbull and Merc, Ferrari only complained about the Merc illegal testing

A-40:

Will you STFU! What a douchegoblin! What point have you made besides display your blatant and idiotic bias and refusing to give credit where it is due?


You must be very dyslexic! What an eediot! Which of this case scenario cannot be applied to any other driver in F1? So why hasn't Webber been in the championship picture apart from 2010 despite a less restrictive driver dynamic compared to say Ferrari?

100 Adrian Newey's will not win Webber a title

It takes an uncommon eediot to not acknowledge that a quality driver like Vettel also had a hand in the improvement of fortunes at Red Bull afterall they were not winning before he got there! They did not win a single race!


This guy is ret@rded! My question is why didn't Newey design a title-winning car in Vettel's absence? Afterall he was there for two years with Webber surely since he farts diamonds he should be capable of developing a car that should challenge regardless of who mans the steering


Webber might be a limited driver but he wasn't a complete mug! You are not saying anything new anyway because we've seen average joe's like Massa,Barrichello,Button contest for titles in good cars so thank you Captain Obvious! What we didn't see them do however is win 4 titles in a row


That is your opinion and sadly its not worth a damn! There's not a champion in the last 25 years that has not won with one or two of the fastest cars on the grid armed with that fact we can basically question the greatness of every driver within that era Prost,Senna,Mansell,Villeneuve,Schumacher,Alonso,Kimi etc so really you have made as much sense as a candle in the sun


This is why the world gasps in awe at your phoolishness! Why should you lift your leprous fingers at them when they've followed all rules and are merely reaping rewards for their diligence

I'm sure at school you also ask the most brilliant student in your class to reduce the number of hours he studies so a halfwit like you can catch up

For questioning Vettel's abilities you already look phoolish but blaming RBR for simply staying ahead of the pack due to their sweat and hard work puts you in another universe of pathetic



We dont need to insult each other its a civil discussion you have to agree with it
Sports / Re: FORMULA ONE (F1 2013) Official Thread For 2013 Season by babyboy3(m): 11:31am On Nov 08, 2013

Look, am not here to throw insults at anyone, I have been watching F1 since the late 80s during the turbo engine era and I started supporting Lewis after Schumacher retired.

If you say because I support Lewis then am jealous of Vettels achievement then you’re very wrong! I started supporting Lewis because the way he drives, Lewis came from a Karting back ground, that likes to glides into corners, and that was his driving style. The moment F1 became a place where you have to nurse your tires, that’s when I knew Lewis won’t win another WDC why because of his driving style and he drove for McLaren!

The same McLaren who lacks reliability from top to bottom and the last time McLaren won anything was when Mika Mika Häkkinen was driving a Adrian Newey (Shocked) designed McLaren racing car that practically wiped the floor with Schumacher and the rest of the field it was don’t to driving Errors from Mika and Driving Ability that gave Schumacher the 2000s WDC.

When you look at Schumacher who won the 1994 WDC with a V8 Ford Zetec engine when the most powerful engine that season was Williams Renaults V10 3.5 engine, Ferrari had the V12 3.5 engine, in 1995 Benetton switched to the same engine as the Williams and Schumacher made a mockery of the Williams drivers. Schumacher was told to prove he is not another Jackie Stewart who drove the Lotus that sometimes lap a driver 2 or 3 times in one race.

I could understand MRbrownJAY point, that RBR was so poor that Christien Hoerner was a season away from the sack before Adrian Newey joined them. Adrian was paid 10m to design both cars, Adrian made more mistakes on the RBR and that’s why Adrian moved the STR’s chassis across from STR to RBR. Thats why I laugh when people talked about Vettel's performance with STR, because the STR was faster than the RBR.

The problem here is that Dr Dietrich Mateschitz hated Webber saying he is not good enough to drive for a top team, but When Webber joined RBR wasn’t a top team. RBR harldy complete their race and when Vettel collided with Webber in Turkey 2012, that’s when the decision was made that the car will be built around Vettel’s driving style. The 2010 title was won on a counter, from Japan another team would have support Webber but RBR did what Ferrari did to Eddie Irvine in 1999, when they had the chance to help Eddie to win the WDC after Schumacher broke his legs, instead of asking Schumacher to let Eddie pass and take 2nd place and win the title, but they said “they will wait another year” so that Schumacher could win the WDC. RBR did the same, it was a title that had both Lewis and Vettel as an outside bet to win the title, RBR tactically screwed Webber by calling him in early for a pit stop knowing that both Rosberg, Petrov, both STR drivers and another have pitted after the safety car and knowing that they are on tires that’s going to take them to the end of the race, and the fools Ferrari tried to cover Webbers and pitted Alonso and got him also into the same mess.

The magnificent RB7 that had everything blowing everywhere to maximise the down force of the car, flexible wing front wing etc. a car designed to Vettel’s driving style, cruised to the title but some interesting incidents also happened that season, in the Wet at Silverstone Vettel has destroyed his tires but Webber was told to maintain his distance some laps to the end of the race and the same at Suzuka Japan when it look like Webber could snatch 3rd place from Vettel despite the fact that the title has been won. In Korea Jaime Alguersuari contract wasn’t renewed because he couldn’t get out of the way when Vettel was doing his flying lap and prevented Vettel getting pole, Dr Dietrich Mateschitz showed his displeasure towards the Spaniard and the young driver lost his seat.

because of Webber's size and weight he gets a smaller KERS battery, his clutch bit is different because of his height but all in all he was royally screwed by Hoener and Dr Dietrich Mateschitz for the German driver


In 2012 the EDB was banned and uptil Singapore when Adrian Newey built a new rear wing that was blowing like an EBD Vettel (but was legal) Vettel was trailing Alonso and McLaren with who had reliability issues mostly with pit stops and Lewis announcing that he was leaving got them to shift attention away from Lewis to Button and kept Lewis away from the garage from seeing what’s being developed because had 3 retirements from winning positions, but the new wing gave Vettel all the advantage in the world to win in Singapore, Japan, India.

All in all you could see that apart from the rocket, the RB7 that flew through the season, without the team using Webber as a guinea-pig in 2010 or the new wing in 2012 that saved Vettels season, even this season (2013) up-till the tyre change in Canada that got both Hoener and Newey crying like a canary mostly after the Spanish GP (Mercedes also cried as well) Vettel has been blowing hot and cold, Last years tires was brought in and this brought Vettel back into play.

Yes Vettel is a very good driver but just like MBJ has said let’s see him in another car without the brains of the genius called Adrian Newey and they way the treated Webber leaves a bitter taste but Alonso and Ferrari are also the same thats why I was happy Vettel won the 2010 title after what happened in Germany with Ferrari asking Massa to move over.

Hurt my feelings? Phool please get over yourself! Its like water on a duck's back no effect at all

Your problem is your difficulty to stomach other opinions that are not in unison with yours. When you chat shyte like RBR are responsible for F1s "boring state" we have to question your sanity and it begs the question what are the other 10 odd teams doing about it?


Why are you blaming RBR and Vettel for making the sport boring to watch? How does this even make sense? Like I said before everyone knows that up till the Hungarian GP it was still a scrap at the top for the fastest car the only difference is that RBR constantly looks to improve their machine while the others play sitting duck! Whose fault?


Why not tell us how many races A.Newey won at Red Bull prior to Vettel's arrival? This is exactly why I'm convinced you are mentally challenged! Going by your logic Kobe and Jordan are not greats because they never won another title outside Phil Jackson's coaching! In that case why didn't Webber or Coulthard win titles?

Keep arguing till you are blue in the face! BBC as at last year put Vettel at #8 in their list of all-time greats higher than Hamilton and ALONSO grin grin

I'm sure you and your band of pundits are more knowledgeable than Alan Prost who has forgotten more about F1 than you can ever remember

www.espn.co.uk/lotusf1/motorsport/story/129035.html

Peers and past drivers alike are all queuing to pay homage to greatness and one ignorant nucca is here chatting megedefegede. Like your opinion or that of any halfwitted pundit is worth a damn


Sucks for you then! But the sensible thing to do would be to criticize the other teams for not doing enough

I won’t say it’s boring but it is boring on the other hand, but it is what it is; I could remember the Michael Schumacher era, every year the FIA brought in new rules just to curb Schumacher’s dominance, but each year Schumacher comes out on top but in the new tyre rules went in favour of the cars on Michelin tires and this gave Alonso and Kimi the early advantage and the following year Benetton with the Mass Damper. But they race hard against each other but now its about EBD, Diffuser, DRS, KERS etc
The Vettel era is different because of the level of financial commitment from a huge amount of sponsors all over the globe, the problem here is that When Scuderia Ferrari was dominating they still had a very good PR despite the fact that they told Ruben to slow down in Australia in 2002 or 3 so that Michael could win the race. But RBR and the way they have been treating Webber got fans booing them and Vettel on the podium at every race since Seipang, Malaysia up to Suzuka. Now sponsor have got Bernie running from here to there due to the alarming rate of viewers and sponsors who are moving away from the sport.

The engineering, sales and marketing boss of Red Bull Formula 1 sponsor Infiniti has admitted Sebastian Vettel’s current dominance is bad news for the firm at the moment


I can't think of anything much more boring than this season F1 races. I watched most races from hospital alongside my good friend Professor Sid Watkins and I have to say I wasn't impressed.
The concern is that we could miss out on a fantastic season of motor racing. There are so many great drivers in competitive cars but it is near impossible for them to actually race against each other.

A striker that went to SIX AFCON and failed to scored one goal

Yeking won the Golden boot in 1992, 1994, scored in 1984, 1988, 1990

Kanu is not in the same class as Yekini
