Incredible times to be a blue just fucking incredible and I fucking love my club.

Not forgetting “Cheats of the Century“.

Greg Rusedski won it. He was only British for two years and won it despite his most prominent success' being achieved abroad

​

He was British when he won it. Haaland will not be eligible to win it until he’s either been here 10 years or adopted British citizenship.

Most awards are not about the recipient, these days (if ever at all). It's about the industry behind it.
Awards are a self promotion tool. If we lift this trophy on Friday the winners are fifa, we are just there as a vehicle for their ego.

No, if we win, we are Champions of the World, and we let every rag and dipper know about it!!

It was moved to midweek last year to avoid clashing with the World Cup Final.

Doesn’t really explain them not moving it back this year though.

Maybe they had a feeling that someone from the women’s football team was going to win it and I think they tend to play Sundays more often than not.

I honestly don't remember that. The hazards of being a FOC, I guess.

Haaland was born in Leeds. Regardless of what international team he chooses to play for, why was he not included in the main category?

Vinnie Jones played football for Wales but you'd hardly call him Welsh! (you might call him a few other things).

Erling was robbed!

Haaland was born in Leeds though. Pretty sure that should qualify you as British.

So many witty, pithy remarks spring to mind!
