Looked like a Firefox awards ceremony.
I'd rather Mo started passing to him when Sadio's in a better position than travel to Africa to give him a round of applause.
I thought you’d rather he didn’t as you hate Mane and never wanted him near our club and can’t wait til he leaves?
Why send even more players on a long flight when they need rest and a rare chance to train after a few hectic months.
It makes perfect sense to let them stay behind and only send the one who was winning the award.
I cant believe people see it as out of order for not travelling. Christ on a bike.

You don't half spout shite, do you?
Yes, I don't like him. Still don't. And yes, I wasn't keen on signing him because of how he left Salzburg.
The rest is bullshit. Unsurprisingly.
They'll be dancing in the streets of Bambaly (Mane's home village)...
Think of all the shirt sales in Senegal after this!!!111!
I reckon I could fund a stadium in Bambaly
I really shouldn't laugh at this, but I'm in stiches.
If he has around 200 to 300K (Sterling) - then I think it's possible for @manwithnoname - depending on the cost of labour and if it's anything like Bangladesh cost of labour in Senegal. Of course - regulations would be limited to "can I sit still in this stadium - yes I can ... " - and the job is done.
So you go the lengths to dig out a 3 year old post and then sadly you're too stupid to actually read and understand its meaning.
That quote is about Lucas, you thunderdolt.
Yep about 6 units, because most people would rather eat.
That was the joke.
[article]Sadio Mane picked up the African player of the year award earlier this week - and deserves to be the clear favourite to win the PFA player of the season prize at the end of this campaign.
That's the view of the Sky Sports Football Weekend Preview podcast panel ahead of Liverpool's trip to Tottenham on Saturday evening, live on Sky Sports.
Mane shared the Premier League golden boot with team-mate Mohamed Salah and Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at the end of 2018/19 and has continued that form to propel Liverpool clear at the top of the table this term.
The Senegal forward has 11 goals and six assists to his name in the top flight - only Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne (seven goals, 12 assists) and Leicester City's Jamie Vardy (17 goals, three assists) have more goal contributions this season.
Mane has repeatedly stepped up and delivered in key moments, scoring in narrow wins over Southampton, Leicester, Aston Villa, Crystal Palace and Wolves and Sky Sports football journalist Jack Wilkinson says he has become Liverpool's main man.
"It's a season that's been nothing short of phenomenal," Wilkinson said on the Sky Sports Football Weekend Preview podcast.
"Fifteen goals and 11 assists in 28 games for Liverpool across all competitions. Ridiculous numbers considering we're only halfway through the campaign. He was crowned African player of the year - a deserved, worthy winner - and I'd go as far as saying now he has overtaken Salah as the main attacking threat at Liverpool.
"Yes, the front three all have their own roles to play but Mane keeps delivering the goods consistently, keeps scoring the goals that make a difference.
"Had it not been for his goals this season, Liverpool's lead at the top of the Premier League would only have been one point. They'd have been entrenched in a proper Premier League title race. As it happens, they're 13 points clear because of his goals and he's been unplayable for the last 18 months to two years. His consistency is frightening.
"And yet, somehow, he manages to combine that with being one of the humblest guys you've ever met. He really deserves everything that's coming to him and he's going to play a massive role for Liverpool, scooping up everything this year, it seems."
Sky Sports feature writer Nick Wright says as well as repeatedly firing Liverpool to victories, Mane's performances have helped lift the levels of his team-mates, too.
"Jack mentioned the points his goals have won this season. Interestingly, his goals won more points than Salah's last season as well," said Wright. "He won 12 points compared to Salah's 11.
"So even when Salah was in that incredible form last season, it was often Mane who was scoring the vital goals. He's just incredible really and he's gone from strength to strength.
"The other thing is when you have a player like that, it just boosts the whole team. They can get the ball to him and they know he can create something. It was the same with Salah last year and we're seeing it with Mane now. He's a talisman for them."
Mane currently stands as favourite for the PFA player of the season award, ahead of Kevin De Bruyne (Man City), Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Jamie Vardy (Leicester City), Salah (Liverpool) and Raheem Sterling (Man City) - and both Wilkinson and Wright believe, as it stands, he deserves the crown.
"Mane would have my vote for sure," said Wilkinson. "He seems to have taken his game to another level. Liverpool have overcome so many different challenges this season and he's been at the centre of almost all of those.
"You could maybe make a case for Van Dijk or Alexander-Arnold, they've been brilliant as well but I can't see past Mane," added Wright. "De Bruyne is worth a mention - he has somehow managed to get even better this season - but with Liverpool in the position they are, you can't really look beyond a Liverpool player."[/article]
VVD and TAA will be in with a shout too.
Wait, so you hate Sadio AND Lucas?
Mane is what you want in a super star in today's world.
Great talent? check
Maximizing talent? check
Hard working? check.
Team player? check.
Has fun? check.
Humble and doesn't take himself too seriously? check.
Respectful of his roots? check.
Yah - sorry King Binny, you may have competition

*assembles angry mob*
That could well be Dreamy's conclusion.
The voting comes way before the end of the season. It used to be in January but I think they've pushed it back a bit now due to criticism ?
I don't think you've seen the current odds. Unless the earth opens up and swallows Mane & De Bruyne it's between them.
