Never did and never will care about these stupid election-competitions. But I must admit I loved the critical notes born out of disappointment by that lot in charge at Bayern. Sore losers in every way.
Why would they be disappointed after the year they've had?

Being the German version of the Rags they are programmed to think that they are entitled to win EVERYTHING. If one prize eludes them the season is a disaster.
 
FIFA extend vote deadline after the ladyboys performance in the WC playoff to guarantee his win thus proving how transparent they are.

It's not like footballers actually watch much football. As much as most love the game it's also their job. Quite a few footballers don't even want to talk about the game let alone watch another match in their spare time. Votes like these are all about the the big names.

Interesting the obsession people have with stats now. As Mourinho said it's stupid to compare stats when certain players have defensive responsibilities and others are allowed free reign to do what they want. Whether you think Ribery deserved it or not he had to track back and work hard defensively.

Them chairs look a bit uncomfortable for what was supposed to be a posh 'do'.
Did they invite too many people and had to raid the store room?

That was before it turned awkward..
