Does anyone agree with me that Luke Shaw could win the ballon de poor this year.

Does anyone agree with me that Luke Shaw could win the ballon d' or this year.

Only if his leg stays with him.

Some guy from Wigan apparently waves.

Nothing short of genius! Presumably that poster also thinks Operation Barbarossa was a tactical masterstroke and Keanu Reeves is an accomplished method actor.

Hey - he was very good in Something's Gotta Give.........;-)

And credit Maureen for inspiring him?

That could have been the title to a film about Operation Barbarossa!

I don't get all this discussion over Shaw's leg, Van Persie could have been killed at Swansea.

This is standard Daily Mail stuff when there is a break and they have nothing to write about. They brought back another old-faithful the other day "what happened to past winner of the Golden Boy award?"

All that said, it is pretty interesting and shows that the money spent argument is false

 

[waspish]

They don’t go over the top about a scum player Shaw has done ok but when they played a decent team and got slapped he was just ok and go fine plenty of times!

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

It's so blindingly obvious he's suddenly cosying up to the fans. The fact they're falling for it is astonishing. They all know how much he has spent. They all know how bad those players have been. They all know how awful the football is.

Yet they choose to 'believe' it. We knew they were a bit thick, but this.....

Staggering

Not sure that it's " astonishing " as the majority of their fans are total fuckwits, desperate and gullible.
