Weird. Did you notice that Mendy was named by FIFA a the world's best keeper? But FIFA did not select him for their world XI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't find it mentioned here: https://www.fifa.com/the-best-fifa-football-awards https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60031269 Quote Chelsea's Edouard Mendy won the award for the Best Fifa men's goalkeeper after a successful first season with the club, including a clean sheet in the 1-0 win over Manchester City in the Champions League final. As for the collective awards, Manchester City's Ruben Dias and Kevin de Bruyne joined Chelsea's N'Golo Kante and Jorginho, and Ronaldo, in the Best Fifa men's team of the year. Men's world XI: Gianluigi Donnarumma (AC Milan/PSG/Italy), David Alaba (Bayern Munich/Real Madrid/Austria), Leonardo Bonucci (Juventus/Italy), Ruben Dias (Man City/Portugal), Kevin de Bruyne (Man City/Belgium), Jorginho (Chelsea/Italy), N'Golo Kante (Chelsea/France), Cristiano Ronaldo (Juventus/Man Utd/Portugal), Erling Braut Haaland (Borussia Dortmund/Norway), Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich/Poland), Lionel Messi (Barcelona/PSG/Argentina).

exiledblue Report post Posted January 18 Wonder if somehow Messi will still be winning awards after he retires. Seems to me nobody even bothers to check how and where he plays these days, they just name him. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark Kelly Report post Posted January 20 (edited) I don't know where to put this but I've just seen on Twitter (I know) that the commercial manager for the independent laboratory responsible for the 13 Liverpool false negative Covid tests that were statistically impossible is Kenny Dalglish's daughter . I wonder if there's any truth in this ? Commercial Manager of the lab that returned Liverpool's 13 false positives: Kenny Dalglish's daughter. Rick Parry the current chairman of the EFL, who refused to investigate Liverpool: Former chief executive of Liverpool. Where is the outrage Edited January 20 by Mark Kelly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark Kelly Report post Posted January 25 (edited) Magical Irony alert in the Daily Mail this morning from professional mentalist Chris "can't score won't score" Sutton who made Lukaku look like Maradona Who's been the biggest disappointment? SUTTON: Lukaku. I thought he'd be the difference and that Chelsea would be this season's title front-runners thanks to his goals but that hasn't happened. He has only scored twice in the Premier League since September and instead brought heat on his manager Thomas Tuchel after that unsolicited interview. So he's my disappointment of the season.
