   Vida was brilliant.
   But i just don’t know how can you judge this shit. If Liverpool won the title who would have been the best player ?
   the awards is nothing. maybe the local fan’s award what really matters.

   well deserved.I’ve just been thinking about this.playing draws is always more dangerous than losing.in the last three seasons,we had lost more games than the runners up and still went ahead to win the league but they usually get to draw a lot of games.i think when you lose,you tend to try and put more effort but a draw just give you that…”we got a valuable 1 point” feeling,whereas you are dying slowly.

   that’s why they changed the 2 points for a win and 1 for a draw system.

   The trophies and awards just keep coming and that is a FACT.
   Well deserved by any measure – of course the Boss deserves it he won the Premiership and the muderous Serb is awesome.

   Now on to Rome – I cannot fucking wait !!!!!!

   Pleased to hear this news Scott – I can’t believe Vida got overlooked for the PFA and Football Writers’ awards. Let’s hope he can help us keep Messi and co. at bay on Wednesday night.

   Congrats to SAF but I think Hodgson deserved it this year for what he has done with Fulham.

    Back to Corea’s point. If Liverpool had won the league then Gerrard would have been the best player. As much as we all dislike him, he’s one hell of a player.

    thats the quintessence of this fucking awards. the main thing is that matters obviously is that Vida deserved it. Who remembers the last defender winning the prize ?

    In reference to Corea’s comment about the old point system, this year’s results bear out the fact that the newer format of giving greater reward to teams playing positive results orientated football works effectively. Under the old format United would still be ahead of Liverpool, 60 points to 59, the difference being that Liverpool would still be in with a shot going into the last round. Why should they deserve that when they played out so many dull draws against teams they should have easily beaten?

    Oddly enough though, as far as some research I did a season or so ago is concerned, the 3 point system for wins would has made no difference to United’s results in the championship over the years, despite their much lauded reputation for playing an attacking and enterprising brand of football through the years. Were United to lose or draw this weekend while Liverpool win, it would be the first time that the 3 point system has worked to their benefit. I could be wrong on this and will happily stand corrected if someone proves me wrong. I am after all casting back to research I did about 14 months ago.

    A little PS.

    You can rest assured that if Liverpool do win tomorrow while United draw or lose, the scousers will be out in force claiming a phantom championship win based on the old scoring system. After all, this is the same lot who suddenly decided in the latter part of the season, when it became obvious United were going to claim the championship, that Liverpool actually had claims to additional championships played out in the early part of the war, when so many men were taken up with the greater task of winning a far more important battle.

    Of course, the fact that United will be fielding a near reserve side, having won the championship already, whilst husbanding its strength for the Champions league title game on Wednesday, will be beside the point as far as the Spanish waiter and his blinkered cohorts are concerned.

    @ timbo

    thanks, mate.
    the worrying point for me is 67 goals to 74. that’s really strange.
    but if we talk about the number of points we’ve done ok. 87 points and our record number is 91, nope ? the standard of EPL is higher than it has been before.

    1. Best manager and Nemanja “Whose that comong over the hill? Is it a monster” VIDIC. Best player in the league by a fucking million miles.

    I don’t know about the rest of you but god am I getting those butterflies hairs on the back of my neck thinking about wednesday.

    Chris20LEGEND says:

    @corea, the only blame for that goal difference is our lack of goal scoring early on in the season for obvious reasons and the fact that we conceeded 7 goals in two matches, 4 of which to the dippers, not to worry we’ll hit the 90′s next season…

    @Corea.

    I’m actually of the opinion, and have been all year, that United’s standard of play has been well down for much of the year (the second game against Chelsea excepted), and it was only in the last month or so that they started showing some semblance of the attacking verve of previous years. Think of all the one goal wins they ground out in unconvincing fashion, very unlike the United we know and love. That, and a few blips like the one against Liverpool, were what accounted for the superior goal tally from the scousers, which is unlike them. Think back to last year, just to the two games against Newcastle, for examples of what was really missing this year from United.

    As well as Liverpool claimed they played this year, the fact of the matter is that United won the championship because of the poor standards of the opposition and the fact that the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal didn’t take advantage of the situation. Look at the poor patches Liverpool had, the dreadful state Chelsea was in under Scolari, or the way Arsenal got gutted due to injuries. Yet the first two didn’t finish far behind United at all.

    Bottom line: I’ve never seen United amass so many points in a season (if they win tomorrow they’ll only be a point off their record total) yet do so in such unconvincing fashion. It’s been a real head scratcher of a season in that regard.

    As for next season? Given everything I’ve said, I actually think United will street the opposition next year, given that they surely can’t put in another patchy season like this one. The likes of Rooney and Ronaldo (who looks like staying) should be approaching their playing maturity, Berbatov should finally have a proper pre-season to help him gel with his fellow forwards, Anderson looks ready to really blossom in midfield, and the new wave of kids (Rafael, Fabio, Possebon, Macheda, Wellbeck, etc) should benefit from the year’s worth of additional experience they’ve just received. On the other hand Liverpool can’t get any better with the squad they have, in fact they overreached this season, just as Arsenal did last year only to fall back this time around. The only serious challenges will probably come from the money Chelsea and City’s owners will probably throw at their respective teams during the off season.

    @ corea
    I also found the goal disparity a little unsettling. After all football is all about goals in most peoples eyes and rightly so, but I have come to put more emphasis in results. We had a lot of 1-0 wins, but if it brings us silverware I can’t complain. Of course if things had been different… Off topic a little but does anyone know a website where you watch old games ?

    @jcolas : i don’t think there is any such website to watch old games.you might get video highlights on youtube.there is also mininova to download the torrents of matches.
