Speechless...

Dont forget the actucal players vote for player of the year.

 

I think I`m right in saying they vote in January aswell. It somtimes means players who do well in the first half of the year get better represented than those who play well toward the end.

 

Awaiting nurspec...

 

Oh God, I can't wait for this one

I imagine he'll regale us with his theories of why Sun Jihai wasn't nominated as well. Its racial bias damn it!

 

Damn English, always with their racial bias's... that's why few Muslims play at the top level you know. True story.

 

I'm just amazed Carlton Cole hasn't been nominated.

 

I know he wouldn't win, but i would have liked to see current PFA Player of the Month Alan Smith on the shortlist as well.

 

Hmmm. Well only by the preposterous inclusion of Okocha does the theory of Alan Smith's place in such a list become any less preposterous, to be honest. Five of the six players mentioned are without a shadow of a doubt amongst the best performers in the league this season. Smudger, by contrast, has worked hard, been a gritty benefit to Leeds' struggle for survival, but has hardly been a performer on the level of the others. Okocha most definitely excluded, of course.

 

Have to admit i was also very surprised Okocha's in thr frame. Who the hell makes these decisions ? Very interesting to see no Man Utd players nominated in either category, but i feel rightly so. I'm very surprised Sir Alex hasn't had something to say about that !! LOL !!

Deano.

Aye mate - and this will be proven beyond a doubt when Terry walks away with the YPOTY award instead of SWP - won't matter a lick thats it's totally deserved!!!!!

 

I would have gone for Forsell and Ronaldo instead of Rooney and Johnson for young player, both of them have done a lot, lot more.

There is a real lack of defenders and especially goalkeepers nominated this year, instead of Okocha I would have been happy with Campbell, Cole or Bridge, all very good performers this year.

 

Hey Prenn, was I just dreaming or was that an assist from Okocha for fizzy-hair's goal last Saturday?

 

Funny coincidence: Prenn's sig reads "*sigh*" whereas mother_goose's reads "Olé!"

 

as an efc fan, i have a vested interest on 2 counts...its been widely touted we're on the sniff for jay jay...many are blowing their biscuits over the matchday progs, while others (like me) arent too enthused. we're desperate for a solid def.mid (dont any of you dare say gravesen already fits the bill...trust me on this) and all signs point to the davis deal being rekindled in the summer. aside from that, we need someone on the right as well, but i really dont think jay jays the answer.

he has his moments, but theyve been few and far between this season. and certainly not enough for the pfa.

as for our wayne...hes not there yet. terry should win it hands down (think how good hes going to be in 5 years time - the mind boggles). wayne (and moyes for that matter) were always going to be on course for an 'interesting' second season and thats what came to pass. wayne was indeed overweight coming back from the summer - so much so that he took ages to get going...and hes yet to reach the heights of last year.

take into account that he has service (ha!)from one of the worst midfields in the premiership and youll realise hes had a pretty good year.

henry better be looking over his shoulder next year though...

nick

ps - can a player win the young players and the grown-ups trophy the same year?

 

haha! what can i say billy, im a happy person

cheer up, prenn... there are a few games left, jayjay still might score that elusive goal
