I know, I wouldn't have guessed either.
I'm not saying he doesn't deserve to be nominated. He'll probably get the 'Young Player of The Year', if he qualifies. Certainly he doesn't deserve to deserve to be player of the year. No chance.I see they mentioned Ireland
I wont mention your hatred of him Dave :whistling:
Maybe so, but he's not been far off. Up to January he was pretty immense. His form has trailed off more recently though. He has completely outshone Robinho and has easily been their star player this season.
:rofl: haha good 'un :rofl:
Thats reason enough in my eyes. Even fans of other teams wouldnt begrudge him the honour, which he has deserved to win before.I think I'm the only one who thinks Alonso has been better than Gerrard this season.
Carrick should have made the shortlist ahead of Giggs. As the article says, Giggs hasn't played enough to be truly deserving of the award and if he were to win it, it would be for reasons of sentimentality rather than merit.
It would be a bit hollow though. He'll know himself that he hasn't been the best player in the league this season, so winning the award when he knows he doesn't deserve it would de-value it in my opinion.Thats reason enough in my eyes.

Good shout with Alonso. He has been triffic this season.
Maybe so, but you cant deny that he deserves to be on the list. He has been out of this world this season.
Personally I think his season has been over rated. There's only two or three games where he's been truly class and he's only started ten games all season. It would be nice for him to win it for old times sake, but I honestly don't think he's done enough.
It's a good thing for him that the votes are tallied in Jan/Feb.
He's still been assisting quite a bit. Maybe it's the return of Drogba? Happier to give him a pass than Anelka?It's a good thing for him that the votes are tallied in Jan/Feb.
Lampard has only scored 1 goal in his last 12 games - and that was the dodgy deflected goal in the last minute against Wigan that could have been given to Ballack. Prior to that he'd scored 6 in 7 games.
Wonder why he's had such a dry spell.
He's nearly got an assist every game over the last 5 games :thumbsup:He's still been assisting quite a bit. Maybe it's the return of Drogba? Happier to give him a pass than Anelka?
