Did we do good, dear readers?
I wanted to post sooner, but I had to wait for the drool on my keyboard to dry.
Let’s go back to july…
Wouldn't have said no to some Gareth Bale in there somewhere, he totally deserves it!
I cannot believe such a list exists without Marco Boriello!
No Aleks Kolarov/Edin Dzeko playing beach volleyball?

Omg! LOVE Aleks Kolarov.. shirt or no shirt! So dreamy! And I love that he always looks so serious, I find it kind of amusing.. Esp cos he seems like a really nice guy in interviews.
Nice Photo. I like the photo of Kevin Prince Boateng. He looked so cool.
JULY!!!!!! How did I miss that photo til now???? Christmas in July indeed!!!!
DECEMBER!!! mmm, Boateng.. Where is Adil Rami ??
Im with you, some Adil is never wrong!!
WHERE"S MY RAMBO?!?
hmmm mr febuary is mmmm but i was expecting mr cesc fabregas on here…his yummy tummy was to die for!!!
i will die happy if i see Mr. February's tattoo in all its glory…………damn
WHAT!!!! No Alexis Sanchez when he scored against Villareal and took his shirt off? You all are just hating.
On the 3rd day of Christmas, Kickette gave to us – a Not Safe for Life photo of Nando.
Thanks for the gift, Kickette, and I'll wish for his triumphant return to the FF in the New Year!
February is my birth month, so it is wonderful to see Sergio as the winner!! Sigh, he and Fernando are truly stunning!! Thanks for this post!
How could you miss out Cesc? I thought he was meant to be your #1?
Sergio Sergio Sergio Sergio Sergio Sergio Sergio Sergio Sergio Sergio Sergio Sergio Sergio Sergio Sergio Sergio Sergio Sergio Sergio Sergio Sergio Sergio Sergio Sergio Sergio Sergio Sergio Sergio …that's all I have to say…
oh gawd nandoooooo…………. :drooooool:
i could work with february and december just as well.
but.. july is my month.
I litterally gasped when I saw Nando. Every month should be July.
I am a bit shocked by the lack of Bale in this year review issue but the Nando/Mario Gomez duo saves the day properly.
I can't look past Drogba. Nor can I ignore Mr. December there. It's gonna be a great 2012!
JULY THANK YOU VERY MUCH..OH YOU'RE OUT OF JULY?
YES DECEMBER WOULD BE FINE….
Although I would like to see some naked Ibrahimovic here..Pity..
THANKS.THE RAMOS IS THE BEST
Thanks !! thanks for the wonderful year I hope that in 2012 they also appear without the shorts! OK!
Clearly Torres and The Ramos are clear winners – The others are just there to make the numbers up.
Every month should be Feburary
Very true. I look at that picture and all I can do is sigh longingly.
What a lovely way to end the year! Now, can we do a review of the Thigh-offs as well? Pleeeease? Pretty please with a Sergio on top?
lol! Because we all know they'd have to include him….
I will take February and July PLEASE!!!!
As a couple! Those two go very well together
I must know who that unidentified September torso is! Madre mia!
JULY.
YES PLEASE.
drool…..
The man is damn near edible. *Sigh* They don't make 'em like that where I am from.
hahahha! i seriously think that to myself all the time!
