I was wondering that. Still a shock though, unless Ronaldo wins it every month.

Ronaldo's only won it twice too. They win the Ballon D'Or more times than that. :shock:

I wonder if Neville will ever win manager of the month?

Before November last year no Barcelona player had ever won the award, so it got highlighted in the press.

Since then Neymar and Messi have both won it!

Gary Neville's Valencia are currently losing at home to Espanyol, who have lost their last 8 away league games.

Turned it around to lead 2-1, can Gary Neville get his first league win?

Barca are on another level tonight! Stunning football from Messi, Neymar and Suarez!

An unbelievable penalty just then as Messi passed to Suarez to score. Like the Pires-Henry one but it worked!

Messi just passed a penalty to Suarez to score his hat trick.

Never seen it done before, slight element of taking the piss out of the opposition mind.

Cruyff has done it before apparently. Pires-Henry tried and failed miserably in a PL game.

Half way through this second half Celta should have been level at 2-2. Since then Barcelona have run riot.
