Real Madrid Boycott Ballon D'Or 2024 Because One of Their Players Didn't Win IT!

Rod should have already got it that year — not Haaland, not Messi — without a shadow of a doubt. He was the one who was robbed. What he achieved that year, what he was instrumental in all respects for, far outweighed Messi winning the World Cup. Setting aside the fact that Messi had been awarded it what, five times already? That was the nail in the coffin of its credibility as far as I was concerned. Justice was done this year, finally. But you can be sure it'll be back to awarding it to the Franco club next year.
Correct. He’s been the best around for three years straight in my opinion.
 
Years ago, when we weren’t up there with them, the so called “big clubs” seemed like behemoths of the game.

Contemporary “big clubs” at the time like United, Barça, Bayern, Milan and Madrid and some from previous eras, like Liverpool, just seemed so out of reach to us. Even when we were taken over, back at the start of this era for us in 2008, I never imagined we’d do what we’ve done with those clubs at the top to overcome.

Experiencing the challenge for trophies with them and beating them and beating them again, and again, we get to see them inside out, what they’re about from boardroom to managers to fanbases. You’re able to scratch their surfaces, and they really aren’t what you’d previously imagined them to be.

We’ve come along and not only have we been able to push past all the bluster of their rabid arrogance, entitlement and total lack of class, but we’ve actually got to see them in their underwear and seen what they’re really about. And, more than anything else, all you see from these clubs and fanbases is huge insecurity.

At first it was surprising but, when you start to realise that a lot of them have barely ever had to face any kind of difficulties as clubs (at least in living memory for many), they’ve got no idea what bad times are. They’re so out of touch with what real core football is all about and they only seem to exist to worry about their grip on power. But their grip is so flimsy and unsure that they are all scared to death of losing that grip.

Especially when we’ve come along - a club and fanbase who have lived and breathed true core football up and down the levels - we’re tougher and hardier than all of them, we’ve got thicker skin than them and we are much more resilient than them. And that’s the other thing that scares them to death.

That’s not just why FFP came in, why we ended up at the Court of Arbitration for Sport to fight off spurious charges, why Project Big Picture and the European Super League were thought up and why we are currently fighting the 115 charges, but it’s also why Real Madrid didn’t show up last night.

It wasn’t just their rabid arrogance, entitlement and total lack of class, it is also them being hugely insecure and scared of losing their grip on power and scared of losing it to a club like City who they just don’t understand.

They think we’re small but they have come to realise that we don’t give a fuck cos we’re all pissed up, MCFC OK! We don’t care who you are, where you’re from, what you’ve won, how big your stadium is, how much money you’ve got, how big your fanbase is… we are the Mancunians and we’ve seen you in your gruds and we’ve seen that you’re nowt special underneath all the flashy shite. We know it, and we know you know we know it!
If I were wearing a cap, I would doff it in your direction sir.
 
He was actually useless since the turn of the new year but don't dare mention it.

The reality is he had a decent spell in the first 3 or 4 months at Madrid and has been pretty shite since then.

He's bang average. Plenty of players can have a great little spell, look at Rashford. Problem is they can't sustain it like the best players can.

If you need a player that is not particularly good passer of the ball, not a particularly good dribbler, not particularly quick, no real vision to speak of but can crash the box and chip in with some goals, then you might as well just get Scott McTominay for a quarter of the price
Oh my word
You're not just today's internet winner, but you've won it for all time.

I REALLY DON'T get the hype, now.
I watched a few of his games this time last season, and thought he might be a generational talent.

Since we all got a 2024 calendar, he's been little better than average, with a couple of crucial goals to keep the masses happy.
 
On another note,I thought Ancelotti would have turned up regardless of the absence of the other arsewipes. Just wonder wheather he was told not to attend or he actually agreed with El Presidente? Either way I can imagine Pep sat at home last night with a glass of wine and a big fuck off cigar, laughing his Catalonian cock off at the antics of that facist bunch of cunts!

Fucking sensational. Take a bow, good man.

To put it into layman's terms, they're a bunch of spoilt fucking brats who don't want the other kids having fun in the playground.
