    I'd more or less go along with that, maybe dump one for Ibrahimovic.

    Rooney
    Messi
    Xavi
    Drogba
    Buffon
    Vidic
    Ronaldo
    Maicon
    Sneijder
    Lahm

    Bit of variation too. Almost included Yaya Toure, who has carried City at times during this season, unbelievable player who is somehow still underrated.

    I'd replace him with Luis Enrique and Robben with Ashley Cole.

    Agreed , dump Vidic .

    How someone , who breaks every single rule in the flamin' book , gets an award beats me .

    I wouldn't dump Vidic, but then I don't bitterly despise Man Utd and everything they ever do.

    He's one of the finest defenders in football. Show me one who doesn't take liberties with the rules and I'll show you a golden unicorn.

    Rio Ferdinand is one of the best defenders I've ever seen Vidic is just a cheating thug in my view.

    My all time fave players include Georgie Best , Mark Hughes , Scholesie , Becks , Cantona etc etc .

    Just have no time for cheating , cynical defenders.
    The fact that he gets away with murder on a regular basis makes it worse.

    He's a great defender no doubt but what the he'll was he doing for Barca's second the other night :confused:

    Messi has to be top of the pile for me by a country mile now, I think the final the other night could have been either way without him, the way he played though reminded me of Maradona at his best.

    It is hard to argue with, there were umpteen times this season he should have been sent off but managed to stay on.

    Making tough challenges isn't cheating. God knows what you'd of done in the old days when football wasn't full of complete pansies who collapse to the ground just from being looked at. Back then people were doing challenges that get red cards today and it was seen as a great tackle. Vidic commits fouls in the game, that's not cheating, that's not being a thug, that's mistiming a tackle, it happens with defenders.

    The reason he'd get an award is because he's arguably the best defender in football right now.

    Then you must have no time for Sergio busquets. Considering this blatant piece of cheating....

    Sure defenders "bend " the rules but nobody "bends" them as much ViDick . He constantly pulls and blocks people in the box , clatters into forwards leading with elbows unconcerned about the damage he does, nobody but nobody does as many brutal body checks on forwards as he does .... he gives his little "innocent " look and the refs turn a blind eye time after time ...

    I love the fact you say you have no time for cheats, But Barcelona at time do the worst kind of cheating I have ever seen.....

    Okay Manchester United have their fair share of cheats, Nani, Anderson, Scholes and I'll now add Valencia to that list...But I acknowledge that they are cheats. But you go on about other clubs and players cheating, but then in many of your posts defend the likes of Busquests and Pedro against cheating. But you say you have no time for cheats. I''m sorry but your posts reek of bias towards Barcelona.

    Show me one post where I've defended diving by Barcelona players ?

    We went through this a while ago in a different thread , I don't condone diving by anyone , I did once say that Buscetts is only young and he will hopefully learn not to do all that stupid stuff , he was fantastic the other night ... no dives , no playacting .

    Okay Fair enough. I'm glad you do not condone cheating in any way....And I apologize for saying you did, when you do not.

    Buffon was on mine. Cesar wasn't too far behind as well. Think they're constantly over looked by people because they're keepers, too often strikers/midfielders get more credit.

    I take it you have never watched John Terry play then? He's worse than Vidic.. The gulf between him and Vidic is as wide as Barca and United. It's only because he's "England's captain" he gets away with it. Like Alan Shearer before him and Bryan Robson before that. There are always players who manage to bend the rules and get away with it more often than others.
