Best bloody keeper in the world, and he's ours.

Very proud.

Apparently the audience in Paris booed him because of his antics in the WC final. Le tossers.

No surprise Messi won it again, however I was surprised watching the countdown that Martinez was beaten by another keeper in the Ballon D'or main list, and that someone with one nomination finishes a lot higher then someone with 5.

Also, if they are going to show defenders, why show them scoring a goal?(usually from a corner). Surely they could find a tremendous defensive play which is why they have been nominated. They at least showed saves for the keepers, and not them trying to score a last minute winner.

I love that he mentions us as well as the National team as being instrumental in his rise.

He should've repeated his celebration with his new trophy.

It was a really weak field to be fair - Ederson, Allyson, Ramsdale - wankers like that.
Oh, don't you believe it. The number of people on Twatter proclaiming that Alison should've won, while simultaneously claiming the whole thing is a sham, is unreal.

On the pitch, he is a shithouse (but is ours). Off the pitch, he is a gentleman.

Long live Emi.

Very proud.

And not only is he ours, we are his. He is invested in us, loves the club, is willing to try to get to the CL the harder way, with us, and finally we have a set up the can justify that sort of loyalty.

This is a privileged time to be a Villa fan.

Sky News mentioned Bellingham, Haaland and Messi winning their awards as well as the winner of the women's Ballon D'Or, but not our Emi. ::)

I see a small section of the French Bad Losers Committee were out to greet Emi. Fuck them! Wankers! A few years ago none of them even followed football.
