The Arsewipes at Sky and BT must hate this.
Erling so generous and thankful in receiving both awards . Whilst Tossers like Spit and Ratty stay quiet. Love this.

Surprised they didn’t use getting one as the reason to give someone else the other.
It’s the right call but I’m shocked it happened.
Tracking back is overrated.

I've read through this top 10 a few times and still can't figure out how Ronaldo's golden boot was more impressive than Haaland's - can anyone help?
They even reference the fact that Ronaldo scored 6 headers (more than anyone on the list), when Haaland scored 7?
Maybe I'm missing something

Yes, you're missing the colour of the shirt he played in...

Reading through the whole list, it looks like they have a starting point of goals scored and then make an arbitrary adjustment for the number of penalties scored and the goals to game ratio. If you knock off the penalties then Haaland is up 29 to 27. Ronaldo scored 31 in 34, Haaland 36 in 35. So yes, it's obviously an article written with the intention of making Haaland's achievements seem less impressive than they are.

Cheers mate, looks like that for sure now that you say it.
Weird mentioning that ronaldo scored more headers though. So easy to research
