PFA Awards............

[SurreySpur]

We were the only of the top 5 clubs to not have a player in the main PFA nominations, is this biased towards the 'top' clubs? Ledley king and Robbie Keane have done as much as any other player in the league and i think they both should have been nominated. There's a real football snobbery going on here, whats the bet Martin Jol isn't nominated for Manager of the Year??

Joe cole's a decent player but give me a break!!!

[JJ]

Yeah, well unless you're plastered all over tv adverts, it won't happen.

[proto]

the squad of the year thing was a shocker i saw on SSN :eek:

[SurreySpur]

Who was in it?

[proto]

lol i spent so long talking about who shoulda been in it with my flatmate i've forgotten the whole team , ronaldo on the right , given in goal....hang on , i'll look it up :cool:


Shay Given (Newcastle United), Pascal Chimbonda (Wigan Athletic), John Terry (Chelsea), Jamie Carragher (Liverpool), William Gallas (Chelsea), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Frank Lampard (Chelsea), Joe Cole (Chelsea), Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United), Thierry Henry (Arsenal), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United).

the ones i found particuly suprising were Given, chimbonda(cos i don't even remember who he is) and ronaldo, coupled with that fact like what was said apart from pascal its all the big four

[TomMcLaren]

Should have had Robbo and Ledders in there for Carragher and Given.

That reminds me of a joke - do you think Shay Given has called his house Chez Given?

[SurreySpur]

Where's Ledley, Robbo and keane? Not to mention Carrick?

[highlander]

the squad of the year thing was a shocker i saw on SSN :eek:
yer i remember seeing that and thinking no way that cant be right;
given's a good keeper but not keeper of the season, never
gallas, again a very good player but not when he's playing out of position at left back, how is he the best left back
where is ledders n robbo and whyt wasnt daws nominated for young player of the season

[Robbo1]

Think Keano should of deffo been in there.

[Houdini logic]

Oooo chimbonda for scoring a couple of goals!
He's only played half a season, what a joke

[Keanoldinho]

The FA have never liked us so feckm, Europe here we come

[TomMcLaren]

I have to say Keane, Henry and Rooney, you can only pick two, I would take Henry and Rooney. As much as that guts me to say.

[Norn Iron Spur]

How can they possibly leave out robbo and put given in!!!!!!!!!

[dommo]

In fairness to Given look what's in front of him. Absolute Rubbish and any time I've seen Newcastle he makes quality saves. Wouldn't swap Robbo for anyone but maybe he not selected because he hasn't had much to do as other keepers in a lot of games. Think Ledley should definitely be in. Awesome and rarely put a foot wrong. He's as good as it gets at the back in my opinion

[Norn Iron Spur]

Surely Dawson would have been in with a shout as well, he has been a quality player for us all season!

[Spur]

I can't believe Ronaldo is in there, he is far too incosistent. Don't get me wrong - he's a great player.

[Welsh Spur]

agree, gd player, however i have a biased tendency to hate anyone who wears a man united or arsenal shirt....

[Houdini logic]

I say we re submit the PFA awards?

[DonJolSpurano]

I can't believe Ronaldo is in there, he is far too incosistent. Don't get me wrong - he's a great player.

good player, in fact, GREAT player...but bloody awful season. he's had about two or three decent performances against villa and bolton and thats it.

given should never have been considered ahead of robbo, nor carragher for king. chimbonda was good till Xmas and gallas has played 1 out of every two games this season.

however, this is voted for by the players themselves and danny murphy admitted last night that he'd voted for chimbonda himself and also jimmy bullard.

so i guess we just have to lump it and accept this is what the players feel!

[Spur]

Well thats ok then right? Everyone knows that players are stupid.

[Norn Iron Spur]

yeah the players probably voted for their best mates
