Do you realize that there are more than 50 African coaches and more than 5O African captains which means more than two thirds of the voters did not even vote for him? Does it bother you that they are no Irish players ever who were as good as Yaya? You probably see Yaya galloping in your nightmares.
As for you, what headline are you angling towards?

"Two-thirds of African captains, managers and journalists are not daft". Obviously most people are going to have some order of Ribery, Ronaldo and Messi in their 123. The fact that some people voted for Touré is interesting because we can see each vote transparently and see that the people who voted for him:
1. Are Africans, in a year where few Africans are there to dilute continental solidarity
2. Played with him like Kompany, Eto'o and Karagounis and may be expected to show loyalty

And, what's more... I don't wish to participate in the homoerotic fantasies brought on by your mancrush. What does he do to you after he gallops towards you? On second thoughts keep that to yourself.
He is one of the top players in the world and the best player at his position. He is a decorated footballer. So yes, Yaya deserves every accolade he is getting as much as this may pain you.
Accolade? Ha. You do know that the Ballon d'or is a political exercise in many respects. I've shown you the continental solidarity political effect and quantified it for you. You seem to be struggling with what it is, because despite my categories you thought it wasn't only captains.

We all know that the Ballon d'or is a annual issue. Still you insist that Yaya is the best in his position. Wrong, wrong and wrong again. Yaya is not only not best in his position (OPTA) you are still reeling that Aaron Ramsey did better than him in 2013.

I'm not thrashing Yaya Touré. I'm just giving him the right amount of credit. Keep whipping up a sympathy vote for yourself. What amazes me is that when an Arsenal player is better than your mancrush you won't give the credit. Thank you for your "support".
Yep, that's what I thought. You are delusional.
As an Arsenal "supporter" I thought you would be very happy to give the credit to one of our players. As the Ballon d'or is a calendar year and Aaron Ramsey's great form is a calendar year the question is why he didn't get in there somewhere. And the answer is African solidarity.
It's like saying that Giroud is the best striker in the EPL ahead of players like Aguero and Suarez because he is an Arsenal player. It's delusional. It's okay to be a fan but when you make statements that are nonsensical, that's not what fandom is.

Ramsey did better than Yaya in 2013? I'll like to have some of the stuff you're smoking. The national coaches and captains disagreed with you, the too journalist and writers who voted in that link that Cruyff posted in 2013 also disagreed, if we are to take a poll from viewers on the web, Yaya will definitely get the majority of the votes. Again I'll really like to have some of what you're smoking.

I thought it was delusion initially but after that statement Santry made but you may be on to something here, Piz. He is probably smoking something.

But the statement isn't nonsensical. The statement is based on OPTA which measures actual success, moment by moment in every minute movement on the pitch. You can't surely think that a bunch of Africans standing by their man (like you) outweighs it. If you do then it is you who is delusional.

LMBO? And do you watch Newcastle? Debuchy is a pretty good fullback. I'd still take Sagna at RB, though. Oh wait...you're dismissing it because it puts the better Vidal in place of your hero. And santry is correct. Ramsey had a better 2013 than Toure. Not that it's an insult. Ramsey might have been the best MF'er in the league last calendar year. We sure wouldn't have finished in the CL last season without him. And we wouldn't be in first right now without him.

Oh, and the voters for the Ballon D'or can go do unspeakable things to themselves (though they got it right this time). I'm still pissed about Nedved winning it in '03 over Henry.

RW! he did not. And you would not find anyone in the whole wide world who is not a delusional Arsenal fan that would say that Ramsey even came close to Yaya in 2013 or in any year. I dare you to find a single person. Ramsey couldn't tie Yaya's laces in his best season.

RW! he did not. And you would not find anyone in the whole wide world who is not a delusional Arsenal fan that would say that Ramsey even came close to Yaya in 2013 or in any year. I dare you to find a single person. Ramsey couldn't tie Yaya's laces in his best season.
But, on the thread where you wouldn't discuss this and let the Piz talk for you all the Gooners who posted said Ramsey career < Yaya career; and Ramsey 2013 > Yaya 2013. That's because Ramsey leapt above Yaya (not by much) but he certainly did. Yes, like all those who are intellectually dishonest you think that you ought to seize upon Debuchy. Let me ask you if you have ever seen Debuchy play, it seems not. He's been very consistent as well as occasionally brilliant and that's what gets him in there.

Continue to tell us why the opinions of captains, managers and players who aren't even professionals outweighs OPTAand it's objectivity. Oh we know why though: opinions favour Yaya :)

Do you realize that there are more than 50 African coaches and more than 5O African captains which means more than two thirds of the voters did not even vote for him? Does it bother you that they are no Irish players ever who were as good as Yaya? You probably see Yaya galloping in your nightmares.
As for you, what headline are you angling towards?

"Two-thirds of African captains, managers and journalists are not daft". Obviously most people are going to have some order of Ribery, Ronaldo and Messi in their 123. The fact that some people voted for Touré is interesting because we can see each vote transparently and see that the people who voted for him:
1. Are Africans, in a year where few Africans are there to dilute continental solidarity
2. Played with him like Kompany, Eto'o and Karagounis and may be expected to show loyalty

And, what's more... I don't wish to participate in the homoerotic fantasies brought on by your mancrush. What does he do to you after he gallops towards you? On second thoughts keep that to yourself.
He is one of the top players in the world and the best player at his position. He is a decorated footballer. So yes, Yaya deserves every accolade he is getting as much as this may pain you.
Accolade? Ha. You do know that the Ballon d'or is a political exercise in many respects. I've shown you the continental solidarity political effect and quantified it for you. You seem to be struggling with what it is, because despite my categories you thought it wasn't only captains.

We all know that the Ballon d'or is a annual issue. Still you insist that Yaya is the best in his position. Wrong, wrong and wrong again. Yaya is not only not best in his position (OPTA) you are still reeling that Aaron Ramsey did better than him in 2013.

I'm not thrashing Yaya Touré. I'm just giving him the right amount of credit. Keep whipping up a sympathy vote for yourself. What amazes me is that when an Arsenal player is better than your mancrush you won't give the credit. Thank you for your "support".
Yep, that's what I thought. You are delusional.
As an Arsenal "supporter" I thought you would be very happy to give the credit to one of our players. As the Ballon d'or is a calendar year and Aaron Ramsey's great form is a calendar year the question is why he didn't get in there somewhere. And the answer is African solidarity.
It's like saying that Giroud is the best striker in the EPL ahead of players like Aguero and Suarez because he is an Arsenal player. It's delusional. It's okay to be a fan but when you make statements that are nonsensical, that's not what fandom is.
But the statement isn't nonsensical. The statement is based on OPTA which measures actual success, moment by moment in every minute movement on the pitch. You can't surely think that a bunch of Africans standing by their man (like you) outweighs it. If you do then it is you who is delusional.

Lol Is this Opta delusion. Debuchy is now one of the premier leagues best players. LMBO
LMBO? And do you watch Newcastle? Debuchy is a pretty good fullback. I'd still take Sagna at RB, though. Oh wait...you're dismissing it because it puts the better Vidal in place of your hero. And santry is correct. Ramsey had a better 2013 than Toure. Not that it's an insult. Ramsey might have been the best MF'er in the league last calendar year. We sure wouldn't have finished in the CL last season without him. And we wouldn't be in first right now without him.
For 0893 facts he doesn't particularly like are insults. Not that I care, but what I've said already has been a catalyst for the production of venom for another couple of years.
