You get full mind. Na your type dey plot coup.

This Carrick wey I see so, I no fit get that kind mind.

Hehehe

In 2020, most leagues were canceled meaning other players didn't have a fair chance to compete for the Balon d'or even the UCL that was continued was unusual with one off games in the knock out phase and even on neutral grounds.

Mikechinos:
The hunt is on

Carrick is taking charge of the game tonight not Rangnick

A40:
No mind these fraudulent people. Ojude Oba tournament oh is what they used to elevate agenda despite Messi being humiliated in every other significant tournament of note, At least myself and Raumdeuter have always been skeptical about these individual awards and everyone is finally seeing the light that's my only concern. Whether Lewandowski wins the award or not we all know only Messisexuals believe Lewandowski was not robbed

Last year Lewandowski deserved it but even then, it can be argued that a lot of leagues were canceled so, other players didn't get a fair chance to compete for the awards.

This year, Messi deserves it just the same way I wouldn't have any qualms if Jorginho or Lewy were handed the award.

The stats and trophies favor any of the 3 contenders but one thing is certain, once Messi won the COPA, it was game over because of the headlines it generated after having been ridiculed for not winning any international trophy with the Argentine senior national team.

Havertz10 go say na defense splitting pass, Donstan18 go say na world class finish...

Watford are pressing high up the pitch, can they sustain it?

KingTom:
You failed me as well

Jodera:
Ronaldinho won the 2006 balon dor ahead of Henry. He was a Brazilian
Kaka won the balon dor in 2007 ahead of Cristiano. He too was another Brazilian.
Messi won the balon dor in 2009. He's an Argentine

Mind you, balon dor was merged in 2010

I think they have split the awards...

TrebleChamp:
Ronaldo is a gentleman, he won't sue that cow. Meanwhile other players are beginning to speak out...

other players and you go ahead to cite quotes from Kroos and Casillas, two players that had it rough with Messi...Kikiki

nitrogen:
Hmmmm, I hope you are being real right now. A die-hard united fan would rather be on the sidelines watching the two of them fight, than have preference for a player that denied us UCL trophies twice. I mean, I don’t hate Messi, but I won’t ever prefer him to Ronaldo, as long as the latter is still a Utd player and the fact that the former denied us two UCL trophies. No be una fault sha, na Fergie fuvk up.

Messi plays football just the way I like it so, even if he played for Chelsea, City or Liverpool, I'd still have been his biggest fan. Another player I love watching is KDB...

nitrogen:
Go to Barca or PSG thread to drag Ronaldo na.

Why are you (a Utd fan) dragging your best player because of another club’s best player on our thread? The thing no shock you?

We are celebrating our fav. If Messi can be dragged here, he can also be celebrated...

No sane human will say Ronaldo is a bad player or Messi is...Everything boils down to preference based on an individuals perception of the beautiful game...

TrebleChamp:
So you agree the award is now a scam and has lost relevance? Nothing more to add chief

Was it a scam in 2013?

slimghost:
You can support your Messi without taking swipes at a player that still wears your jersey.
Y’all may as well follow Messi to PSG.

It's banter with those who troll Messi and his fans here...

I personally do not hate Ronaldo, I'm rooting for him and Manchester United to succeed...

nitrogen:
The hate is real, almost half of united fans don’t like this guy. Messi won, congratulate him and move on, why mock Ronaldo, your own player that did not make top 3? I guess most of the haters are not happy that Ronaldo left to Real Madrid, and wish he does not score for us. But guess what, they low key celebrate when he scores for the team.

This life ehn, na OYO you dey.

There's a difference between preference and hate.

I prefer Messi who alongside his fans gets dragged here but nobody takes it to heart so, I don't get this subtle attempt at guilt tripping...

I can't say you hate Bruno because you prefer Pogba...That's not how it should be.

Oasis007:


Jez imagine accidentally jam this Thread nau, Baba go be like; oh Boy I've made a terrible Mistake. I should have joined Man City. These Fans don't worth the Affection I have for this Club.

Without CR7, we won't have made it to UCL next round. Without CR7, we won't have got rid of ineptitude Ole off the Wheel.

Here we are..... so happy happy CT7 missed out on polling Booth Award.

Subtle blackmail bro...

Ronaldo scored and celebrated against us when he was at Juve, it's just normal...

Messi and Ronaldo have been the two top performers for more than a decade now, it's not abnormal to find Manchester United fans supporting Messi especially given the fact that Ronaldo left the club whilst entering the peak of his power.

TrebleChamp:
Is Copa America a European competition? Or isn't the Ballon d'Or awarded based on performance in European competitions again? This scam happened in 2010, so it's nothing new...

In 2013 Bayern won the treble with Ribery and Robben starring but Ronaldo was awarded the best player award, you remember?

Kbs468:
ESR is the root cause of your observation please as he himself alongside Aubameyang have failed to replicate what Saka and Odegaard were doing on the right flank.

The same anonymous status of ESR against LIVERPOOL once again showed up for ESR except in the last 15 minutes when he began moving around away from his static play originally

Spot on...He was static and only came alive late in the game when he was more mobile...

Watching the game, I was asking myself why Arsenal players and those of my team (Utd) don't press high up the pitch and are so slow in the build up play...I guess it's down to the coaching sha.

BikeMan:
What about Ribery in 2013?

No mind my guys...

Them say we hate Ronaldo because we prefer Messi...

At some point in their career, Ronaldo was better because he was first to grasp the context of combining goal scoring and fantastic ball playing skills but it was just for a season, Messi quickly understood that stat (Goals and assist) was a major decider and quickly adapted his game...

The difference is that Ronaldo completely changed his game in order for him to score more but Messi was still that fantastic player away from scoring goals...Even at goal scoring, he is better, the stats says so...

Karleb:
Today just proof that there are a lot of guys here who hates Ronaldo.

No wonder they all claimed Ronaldo was a liability yesterday.

Those who talked about Ronaldo are not even Messi fans...

I don't think Expert17, myself or Melody joined the convo...

Leyqute, eph etc are all CR7 fans.

Keep the tears coming...

Here you go

The eye test does it for me...I watched both and whilst Lewy was fantastic too, Messi was individually better than anyone else...

afrodoc2:
Carrick show what signs? Carrick to take over from Ralf? Some of you guys are easily deceived. We played better football in Ole's first 2 games in charge.

Once again, Carrick was training the players under Ole. If he wants to be a manager he should go and learn at a small club, not use us to experiment.

Just like Viktor, they both get carried away easily...

Person win COPA America them dey ask wetin he do...

When you guys were using the lack of international trophies to undermine his achievements, you lots didn't know you were setting him up for greatness when he wins one?

Una never hala...

LostMyZeal:
Our next 10
At least we suppose bag 23 points

Why not 30?

We didn't press at all in the first half, it was after the goal that we tried to up the tempo but it was short lived...

I was expecting Fred to be on Jorginho throughout the game but to my amazement, Bruno was defending against Jorginho...

With the quality of attackers that we had, it was surprising seeing the position Alonso, James and Rudiger took up for the majority of the game...

We need massive improvement o!

This ref no dey give Chelsea players card?

Ibime to start jourginho out
Kill the bastard

Omo he released Sancho on a platter
