capriccioso 2,545 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Yep, Ba, Cisse, Cabaye and the entire Newcastle lot were also great shouts for this award. And I imagine 'Scotty' is on the team because he's English/British and epitomises the stereotypical English 'hardman' in midfield, clattering in on dirty Johnny Forriner.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I don't even think van Persie deserved the main award tbh. Yeah he's had a great season - but Aguero has been absolutely outstanding and he'll probably actually win a trophy to go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Manager of the Year is an even worse sham than PFA Footballer of the Year. Invariably it goes to the winner of the PL, if there's any justice it should go to Pardew. What he has done at Newcastle has been nothing short of remarkable, and had we been 3rd or better I would be rooting for them to finish 4th.Ancelotti did not even win that when in the 'Double' winning season. Think it went to good ol' Harry instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But most of the time, it has gone to the League winner, the exceptions being 'Arry and George Burley back in 2000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zolayes 14,489 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 every award should go to the player of the decade Scotty "superman " Parker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismada9 1,948 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Kyle Walker getting the PFA Young Player award is just an insult... BlueLion joked about and said he had won it, why?? "because he can run with the ball"What a joke some of these people are, and what really annoyed me was that Mata wasn't in the team of the year!! Mata has worked the hardest out of all our players this season... he's scored some wonderful goals and has made a shitload of assists too... yet they put in someone like Scott Parker... "yes" he has been good for Sp*rs overall, but lately, his form has dipped... Mata can be completely worn out to death and he STILL has a good game!!
