I know.
Though I do most of the boarding during the working day so I might not be around for the evening session. Maybe the stimulating chat will keep me coming back.

I thought ok, lets watch the end, they are about to announce the womens winner, then said after the adverts. It has been 8 minutes so far, they can f*** off now.

None of the losers were particularly gracious. Maybe they needed 10 mins to get over the disappointment.

yeh , in his first speech especially , he was very twitchy . He's probably used to post match speeches in front of cameras, crowds etc but not like this in an arena where you can hear a pin drop (apart from some hecklers)

Deserves it, but makes me sad that Rooney, Lampard and Gerrard never won it.

Six miles from Brisbane Road where he scored his first professional goal, in England’s third tier, and eight miles from Arsenal’s Hale End academy, from which he was released for being “chubby”,

Arsenal eh?

There was a false alarm around 5pm when a news page from the official Ballon d’Or site appeared online, which seemed to show Kane was the winner. This was quickly followed, however, by a similar page apparently announcing Mbappé had won, and another purporting to crown Yamal. Swiftly, the rogue pages were taken down with a spokesman for the organsiers explaining, “some profiles of nominees prepared by BallonDor.com were inadvertently published online. “These articles had been prepared for all nominees and should in no way be considered as an indication of the final rankings.”

I am absolutely certain that this is 100% accurate. And there was no panic to create other "winning" pages for other nominees. No way Hose. It would never happen.

Not a dry spectator in the house after Kane’s acceptance speech

maybe im overthinking it but thought Mbappe not standing up to congratulate HK there showed a lack of class, which is one of the criteria for a ballon d'or winner

That was certainly noticeable to me. Are the days of standing up to greet, congratulate someone etc being standard good etitic dying off a bit though? I often notice at work younger people staying sat in their chairs when greeting and shaking hands with someone they've not met before and to me it's a terrible look but they seem to have no idea. These are often very pleasant, intelligent young people too so its not a dig.

Ballon d'Or football quiz: Can you name all winners of the award?

Do you know every winner since the very first recipient of the Ballon d'Or, way back in 1956?

It's strange how the World Player of the Year award has been memory holed. For example lots of headlines saying Kane is the first English winner of this award since Owen in 2001 but the actual winner of the equivalent award that year was Luis Figo. Owen would never have won this version of the Ballon D'Or which was created when the two merged in 2010.

Yep, Liam Brady was Arsenal's Academy Head at the time.

Meanwhile, I read a story of when Kane was later a kid at Spurs, they were thinking of releasing him too, because chubby or not, he was still very short. Then one day his father turned up to collect him instead of his mother who usually did, one of the coaches noted that his father is actually a big, tall bloke himself, so they persevered, HK went through a growth spurt and the rest, as they say, is history.

(All that said, such is HK's determination, I daresay he was always going to make it somehow, but who knows how much longer the journey might have taken?)
