Wonder what price you could get for Man City to be liquidated. HMRC will fully open an investigation to City. Paying people off the books, all that tax and N.I not being paid, over 10 years, with interest. Plus the penalties and fines etc that will follow. Fucking glorious. Their fans really do not understand the severity of what they have been charged with.

Not a single CB in the Ballon D’Or Top 10 and only 2 in the Top 20. I don’t think people deep enough how insane it was for Van Dijk to come within only 7 points of beating Messi, the best ever, in one of his best seasons. No one comes close to him.

Salah not winning a Ballon Do'r whilst at liverpool, is simply disgraceful.
After seeing Kane win this ballondor, I’ve come to realise Salah got robbed last year👍 #ballondor

Harry Kane is the best English striker I have ever seen, and that is mad to say after watching Shearer, Rooney, Owen etc... Had he left Spurs earlier, he would have been talked about as an all time great ages ago. Fully deserved award for him, he scores stupid amounts of goals, and creates them also, his passing is simple outrageous for a striker.

Vincent Kompany has coached Harry Kane to a Ballon Dor after a treble winning season. Imagine someone telling you that 5 years ago.

Fully deserved for Harry Kane, an absolute all timer of a player.

Just read a bit about Saka's charity work, literally had no idea, fair play to him. Bravo 👏👏
🏆✨ OFFICIAL: Bukayo Saka wins Socrates Award for Fair Play at Ballon d’Or 2026. 👏🏿
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Bukayo Saka won the Socrates Award for his humanitarian work with BigShoe supporting medical care and surgeries for children in Nigeria and beyond. The award recognizes footballers off-pitch social and charitable contributions not on-pitch fair play. arsenal.com/news/bukayo-sa… goal.com/en/news/ballon… espn.com/soccer/story/_…

David Raya clearly should have won the Yashin trophy. You play all year for the award to be mainly decided by a 6 week international tournament.

I said it ages ago, absolutely shite. Doesn't save anything that isn't directly at him, doesn't come and claim his area. Really really poor keeper.
Time after time I’ve seen amateur keepers make near post saves….but look at lammens man 😭 #MUFC

Madrids best player. Mbappe will always finish higher because of the goals, but Jude is the best player Real Madrid have.
Jude Bellingham misses out on a top ten Ballon d’Or finish placing 11th.🏆

We are still short IMO, but a win against Arsenal on the weekend does put us right back amongst it. Really really need to sign a couple in Jan if we can. Either way, it’s impossible to be far away from a title challenge with the quality we have. We just need that quality to stretch a bit further, the bench etc.. Having forward options of Barcola, Isak and Rio, with Ekitike, Munoz and Gakpo as back up is ridiculous.
We've gone under the radar, title charge starts on Sunday. #LFC

He’s spent years boosting his stats to hit 1000 goals and by the time he does it, Messi will also do it and in about 200 games less and it will be forgotten about instantly 🤣
M is the Roman numeral for 1,000… it's clear Cristiano Ronaldo has his eyes on the milestone 👀🐐

He might talk shit sometimes about us, but people who think Carra was some sort of average CB are just wrong. He was top top class. Top 20 in ballon dor twice.
Good luck to @HKane tonight @ballondor 🤞🏻 At one stage I was rated higher than Cristiano Ronaldo by the voters in this prestigious award 😎😅

15th for driving with the ball into space to then pass it back. Oh, and scoring 2 free kicks.

The best CB ever, just finishing 10 places lower than Carragher did. Keep going lad, you’ll get there one day.

The narrative around Wirtz is mental to be honest. Go look back at the first 10 games of last season, he could have easily had 10+ assists. He set Salah up for 3 clear chances in one game, I think people thought he was a different type of player. He creates chances, but he doesn't force it, he can control a game without really creating a top chance, although he still does. He created 3-4 goal scoring chances on the weekend, and about 8 transitions from defence to attack that ended in a goal threat. It has always been about giving him space, I've said it for months and months, him and Szoboszlai are a problem, because Szoboszlai loves to drive with the ball into the space Wirtz occupies. It is all about getting the balance, not the quality of Wirtz, and Iraola is clearly getting it right.
He's improving, we can all see it 👏 Confidence

To be fair to Goldbridge, he is one of the few who said they signed absolute shit and that Carrick wasn't a good manager.
This is absolutely beautiful viewing after all the shit united fans were saying over the summer. 😂 #thfc

I have said this for years, baffling Utd fans haven't been able to see it. Everything Utd does starts and ends with Bruno, his first choice, no matter where he is on the pitch is, boot it long to the person closest to goal so I can maybe get an assist. He creates very low xG chances, he constantly gives the ball away. You can't make a team better if one person is ignoring simple passes to build up an attack to get the glory themselves. He gets loads of assists, because it is literally all he tries to do, awful awful footballer. Hence why no decent club in the world has ever tried to sign him.
Bang On from Keane. Bruno has been there for himself for the past few seasons now

And same fan base will sit and say Wirtz is crap. Give me a fucking player who creates 8-10 attacking chances a game over some fucking idiot who gives the ball away 90% of the game but gets an assist. Football is about control for a team, not an individual getting numbers.
