From an article in the Telegraph:

#FIFPro #shortlist #rubbish

The year is 2007.

Gordon Brown takes hold of a country enjoying joyous prosperity and still riding high after the triumph of World Cup elimination at the quarter finals stage.

Smokers everywhere rejoice as they're forced to enjoy badly lit outdoors areas when they fancy lighting up on nights out.

And a young go-getter by the name of Didier Drogba wins the FA Cup for Chelsea at the rebuilt Wembley Stadium.

At least, that's the impression you get from the Official FIFPro Longlist For The Shortlist Of The Team Of The Year 2011 which has been announced today.

Included on the mammoth 55-name scroll of players deemed worthy of special praise by our benevolent leaders in Switzerland are such luminaries as Rio Ferdiand (who has definitely enjoyed an injury-free year of the highest quality), Didier Drogba (who has definitely never looked better, or more interested, in a Chelsea shirt) and Samuel Eto'o (definitely at the peak of his powers at Russia's current seventh best team Anzhi Makhachkala)

There's also room for Kaka, so important to Real Madrid that he has completed 90 minutes a staggering four times in the last year, and Edwin van der Sar, a goalkeeper so relevant to the current state of football that he's, er... retired.

Can't we just all agree that Lionel Messi is very good and let that be the end of it?

One or two jokes in there but at least Lahm is in.

Can't get my head around how Ferdinand and Terry as still deemed top quality.Both past their best for me.

how Ribery isnt on that list and Luiz is I will never understand.
