The short-list for French Football magazine's prestigious Ballon d'Or (Golden Ball) has been announced and includes several Gunners, including Thierry Henry, Jose Antonio Reyes and Patrick Vieira. The winner will be announced next month. Last year Pavel Nedved swept the award with our very own Tel coming in second place.

I wonder if you ever hearded about a tournament called "Euro 2004". Because,there,rooney had 4 goals (thierry henry not) ronaldo 2 (more than reyes that not played)and this one made part of the best team of Euro and made great exibitions.who is horseface?nistelrooy?ok but he had 4 goals....patrick vieira played?i didn´t heard about him.for a team that is very rich and is england champion have only 3 nominated players is poor. Remenber:Chelsea has MORE players nominated and,coincidence or not, they are in the first place in premierligue.Just remenber it before take wrong conclusions (PORTO AND CHELSEA ARE THE BEST ONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
