Van Der Sar, Sagna, Cole, Vidic, Kompany, Nani, Nasri, Wilshere, Bale, Tevez, Berbatov.
Gareth Bale was named PFA Player of the Year, after assisting 1 goal and scoring 7. Nani, who wasn’t even shortlisted, has assisted 18 goals and scored 9. Jack Wilshere won the Young Player of the Year and Chicharito came 3rd.
The players from London clubs can pick up the Player awards… whilst our players will pick up actual medals. I wonder what they’d prefer?

Man Utd News 24/7
The gareth bale nomination was mostly based on his performance against Milan, which has nothing to do with the premier league…..whatever.
Serioulsy how can 1 assist and 7 goals make a winger the player of the year?
Bale player of the year. What a joke, not that I care really, winning the title is all that matters.
Gareth fuckin Bale. What a wanker. Ditto to Jack fuckin Wilshere.
Bale player of the year! hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaahahahahzahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhzahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahhahahhahahahahahahhahahahahah
ok
hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahah
its difficult to say more unitd players should be there, hernandez I would have in team of the year esp after his first season debut of 18 goals from the mexican league. I would have rafeal there instead of sagna which is a strange one
well that’ll put the asking price up on Bale. that’s a career ender for the poor blighter
Nani the diver deserves nothing but Bale deserves just as much. The press are just sick of United and Chelsea and want to see Tottenham and Arsenal win things.
Like bloody David Ginola one year, just because he had nice hair !
Isn’t this voted on by the players?
@Giles Oakley, And a very nice face haha.
so the team of the year should be
Van Der Sar, Rafeal, Cole, Vidic, Kompany, Nani, Nasri, Wilshere, Bale, hernandez, Berbatov
It is hard to find another winger, can anyone suggest who else they would have instead of bale, because not many have been very good apart from nani
i cant believe that really cant…for a player who has probs played 4 maybe 6 good games this year to get player of the year is mental sky sports just said he played a vital role in the spuds season….blow it out your hole……wilshere got young player n bale 2nd god i`m laughing….just look at fantasy premier league points this season sums it up for me..the way i look at it we dont need individual awards are not as important as getting the 19th WE`LL DO WHT WE WANT
@Karl Pilkington
Are you the actual Karl Pilkington? Big fan if you are.
And yeah voted by players, suppose looking like a monkey and putting in 2 good performances makes you popular these days…
Don’t give a fuck about Bale, Deep down I bet he knows he didn’t really deserve it. 1 assist and 7 goals yeah he really was the best player this year, (do me a favour) The Team of the year looks correct in my opinion.
The only thing about the nominations I’m pissed of about is how the fuck can you give that little midget wilshie young player of the year?
Hernandez has hands down been the best young player this season, they honest to god only gave it to wilshire because he’s English. England always tend to put their talent first.
But seriously the PFA young player of the year award has been a joke to me since milner won it at 24 years old.
It must be some big joke, how can someone with an assist and 7 goals bag the player of the year award while a great player like Nani is not even nominated…it’s a big shame! All united players there have performed better than their counterparts. Maybe they beefing us….anyway UNITED rules
United.george . i agree whole heartedly with that statement. He had two good performances against Inter and the press just couldn’t stop wanking to Bale. WOW.
IT’S AN ABU CONSPIRACY. FACT.
@Giles Oakley – Good point. If I’m not mistaken Ginola won it the same year we won the treble. Surely Roy Keane or Beckham deserved it that year. Even when you think of all the players Arsenal had that same year you really have to wonder how on earth these votes are counted.
Any prize that can be won on the pitch, we will win it if it. Any competition that is not won on the pitch is not worth winning.
Cannot actually get my head around this the stats speak for themselves, suprise suprise two british players who have been overhyped have won the two awards, If Walcott had played to half the standard Nani has this season the press would be having a field day with him. Bale has ONE assist ONE he is a winger his job is to assist and score when possible Nani has more goals and is on a different level in terms of assists. So why was Bale voted, simple because Nani is percieved as a foreigner ruining the beautiful game in England with his dives as they’re the focus of his game from the press but when someone like Stevie Me does it it’s overlooked. Not being bitter here whatsoever i personally think Parker should have got it and yeah i know individual awards mean nothing but to me it just shows the power the british press really have over peoples perceptions of players and teams.
WOW a Leeds United fan on here? When did that one start? How was your monkey sex with Bremner that cunt? Hope it was good?
I have said this a million times before but I will say it again : IF NANI WAS BRITISH HE WOULD BE CONSIDERED A GOD. THE BRITISH PRESS WOULD BE LICKING IS ARSEHOLE EVERY SINGLE DAY.
That’s all.
@seanmthered
Totally agree about the negative effect the media have over peoples opinions.
Karl Pilkington @
fuck off, nani the diver. you mean nani always going past people a being kicked. who the fuck do you support get off the fence
King Eric- WOW the bitter media are at full flow today, looks like ladyman is at it again
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1377928/Manchester-City-win-right-result.html
If rooney hernandez and giggs started would shitty have even got a foot hold of the game nope, he also forgets this team is still finding a new identity they did lose ronaldo, did 99 lose that type of player. This team can be great again, and they have all the tools in the locker, its just under development. This team also can field berbatov smallen and scholes on the bench, did he forget that
think this proves footballers really are thick…
fucking ABU bastards are having a feild day
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1377928/Manchester-City-win-right-result.html?
fergie is the boss @
sorry didn’t know you say that one
nani4ever – hahahaha I sent that, always not a patch on 99 when are these idiots gonna stop comparing united to 99, this current lot are better than the 2008/09 lot. Fuck they got to give this team time to develope since they keep hyping arsenal ladys, they will come gd. In rooney/hernandez combo we have a special duo with nani and valencia either side of them thats quiet special foursome
RVN scored 44 goals in 2003 and lost out to Henry. Over the calender year, Nani has been more consistent than the over hyped Bale. PFA? Go figure.
Up front, 2 strikers that we had on the bench in Rome. Just goes to show the depth of that side.
Anyway, congrats to our players. The Bale award is horseshit, but like Giles said, same thing happened with Ginola.
willierednut – henry was special that year, but so was ruud helped with the form of scholes giggs and to a lesser extent beckham. Soime say nani is a cheater probab;y the players think that, reason why he was not on there
Costas – I doint think that side was that gd. all 4 in ronaldo rooney tevez and berbatov were never in great form that excited me. tevez 5 goals in the premiership, berbs looked out of place rooney was ok that year, and ronaldo wanted to leave so it was hard to find any excitement about the team. United have played like that side this year, but if we can win the league I can see some quality football on show pending if we sign a couple of quality players
Nani is a f*cking diver. I’ll be looking forward to the day that he gets injured for real.
On the other hand, united fans were so quick on exiting Wembley, that I don’t how Balotelli was even able to taunt them.
Nani and Valencia are both better wingers than him.
I say bale shouldn’t even be in the PFA team of the year much less player of the year, he isn’t even the best player on his team. modric should be in the team of the year, two performance against a defensively naive inter milan team and he is the greatest, then nani should be ballon’ dor winner then
@FITB
Attack wasn’t our strong suite that season, but on paper, that was a lot of talent we had up front. Perhaps too much. I tell you one thing that I wish we emulated from that side. That’s the clean sheets.
FITB – Up until Christmas he was very good. After though, RVN took over big time.
@Willierednut – to be fair mate that year they went the whole season without defeat and won the title. RVN got 44 and was a man on fire, but Henry wasn’t too far behind him and lifted the cup, so I found that easier to stomach/accept then this year. Bale and fucking Wilshire? Plain Bizarre.
Costas – we have started to get it right in the past phew months, still it can be breached but the season 2008/09 since the defeat at liverpool 4 1 our defensive game went to hell at times. Was it allot of gd attacking talent attitude wise and form on paper I agree, but a half assed ronaldo, a tevez who could not score goals, and berbatov who was never really a player who did fit into our old system. Rooney was exciting, but he again was nothing spectaculer that year, unlike this season in the last phew months I am so excited with rooney and chico
@nani4ever – pathetic excuse for a fan insulting people like that. Nani’s theatrics this season are what kept him out of favour with other players and fans of other teams. I’ve got a lot of respect for players on other teams, but Nani is dislikeable because of how he acts.
Obviously your red-tinted spectacles can’t see it, but give it a go sometime.
willierednut – I agree for me ruud should have won it, same has chico should have beaten the overated whilshere
Fuck bale fuck the awards I want no. 19.
After Nani, the best winger in the League this year has to be Ashley Young – 8 goals and 12 assists for a Villa side managed by Tinker Man himself. If Young came as a Squad player to United I don’t think it would be as big a disaster as many make out. To be sure, if Liverpool sign him they will be greatly strengthened. How many Wingers can play in the middle just as well as out wide? Plus Young’s been a consistent 10+ goal scorer for years now and he’s only 25, plus he’s English….
The only thing I can say in Bale’s defence is he’s certainly one of the most IMPROVED players this year since moving from LB. Other than that, its a fucking mystery.
ALWAYS BE CLOSING
Fuck right off with the Nani doesn’t deserve it bollocks. I take it you didn’t see Bale diving around against Real Madrid the other day then? What are these “theatrics” you accuse Nani of?
ABC – That’s crap mate. What about Ronaldo then? He dived, didn’t stop him winning back to back PFA awards. Not denying Nani can hit the dirt rather easily at times, but he’s proved himself this season. Bale is shy in diving either. He proved that against Real.
@Willierednut
haha, clearly your more diplomatic than I
*isn’t*
Ahh come on lads its what it is . Our boys deserve a lot of praise but i’m afraid it won’t be one of these prizes. To be honest can’t be arsed to compare because ours is much better. Rafa ?Nani?,Vidic?,Giggs,?Berbatov?
Nuff said.
ABC – yea and pires was such an angel along with half the ladys team and how about stevie me, he could def stay on his feet or do we need to give you a history lesson on his diving shall we
WHAT ???
You beat me to the punch lol.
Nani4Eva – I agree with the Nani logic @ 22.59. Like you said Bale had a cracking game against Inter but overall he wasn’t even Tottenham’s best player this season. I guess putting “British” football on the map this season with an (admittedly) huge win against the Champions was enough? Probably.
Always Be Closing @
If you are talking about carrigher savagely trying to end is career and his dismay to see the referee being hesitant to even show a yellow card his protest at the fact well then no problem with me, or if you mean the goal he scored against tottenham i say any player would do the same, my only qualm about it was his celebration after it was a little over the top. With respect to other players both bale and nasri have disappeared or fallen by then way side just like there teams title chase or hopes forth place for that matter.
So I say keep there fucking PFA garbage i’ll call them for help in may when we are lifting 19 so heavy lol !!!!!!!
The Bale/Wilshere media wank fest has become a bit boring and silly to be honest… Let them take those awards and shove it, we want number 19
LUFCWhite says:
IT’S AN ABU CONSPIRACY. FACT.
haha ^^^ talking of the 2003/2004 season…..
PFA is a joke….. Dont think ive seen bale do anything at all this year since his screamer against stoke or whoever it was on in the second game of the season, by that criteria Chris Brunt is the player of the year surely haha
Posted on previous thread about these over rated cunts.
Off topic but just watched green street again. It has to be THE worst football film made. They could have least have got a cockney to play the lead role onsyead of some northerner who played a blonde mincer in queer as fucking folk.
GARETH BILE & JACK OFF WILSHIT can keep their fucking trophies for all i fucking care! At the end of the fucking day REAL PREMIERSHIP TROPHY is all that fucking matters & ones that the people fucking remember!!!!
My final comment on this topic, the real winner of this award and the young player of the award are the ABU ‘s and the london biased but as i said earlier 19 is the real trophy anything else is an after taught.
Lufc scum. On TWO United threads now? Fucking obsessed pal. Aint you got micky mouse play offs to occupy your minds with?
Seems we do not deserve to be top of the league, seems also that we will not be worthy champions, seems that we have been lucky and fortunate in most games this season….
Yes Andy Townsend, thank God for intelligent pundits like yourself to keep us Reds in check, please do keep showing us the way…
FUCKING IDIOT
why arent Adam and Parker in the team? they were good enough to be nominated for the best player??
How is this team chosen?
King Eric – What a load of shite that film was mate. They even had the Stone Roses, I wanna be adored, in there, cunts.
No one will remember this when Vidic lift’s the Premier League trophy!
Willie. Hello mate. Ha. Yeah they did. A cockney firm film with a northern anthem on soundtrack. Absolutely shocking film. The worst london accent I habe ever heard. At least bovver and that other geezer. The leader of the millwall firm who was in the business have cockney accents. Why an american in the filn as well getting deeply entrenched with a shithouse club like west ham? A real shit mish mash of a film. Still can’t beat the firm with gary oldman and I d.
By the way couldn’t pulis and coyle the scruffy cunts make an effort for wembley semi? Fucking tracksuits?
Have a feeling stoke could do the bitters like last season. City think they have won the trophy already.
Fuck both awards.not liking a player dosnt mean he shuldnt get wot he deserves.wot wuldav happened if messi has d character of a baloteli???he wuldnt get d award? Plus bales few excellent performances were in champs league,does dat count for pfa? Wilshere tried but chicho deserved it.he’s debut season wiv 18goals n counting….awards have generally become annoying, all d way frm ballon’dor
I’m not suprised
Nani???? You don’t need a cry baby and a diver to be even nominated….good call there FA.
Every authority associated with English football is a joke, the whole world laughs at them. You would think with all the corruption that is around in so called 3rd world countries and their FA’s that at times ‘strange’ decisions are understandable, but the English FA are by far the worst.
The English sports media are even worse, hands down the most destructive force when it comes to any English national sports teams, most of all the football side, not that I give a shit mind you. And then you have United, the most successful team in England over the past 18 or 19 years, arguably the most supported team in the world and yet the local media have nothing better to do than play them down at every given opportunity, roaming like vultures waiting for the first bit of scandal to hit their pages as opposed to talking about the success which the great man Sir Alex has brought to the game…
Do they not realize how ignorant and pathetic they are? The whole world makes a mockery of their consistent ignorant articles and to think that these idiots actually get paid for what they write makes it even a bigger scandal…
Will these idiots in the media and those so called pundits ever learn? Whether they admit it or not, we at UNITED are the best football club team that ever existed, our history and tradition are so big that it keeps those rats blinded with hate and jealousy and I for one LOVE it…
The love for United is so much more than a support for a club, its a way of life, its a religion… United give me a reason to wake up every day, looking forward to the next game is the best thing I could wait for…
UNITED, not a football club but a way of life and a reason to love it
RedSea
Do us a favor and fuck off…please. There I said it nicely
I for one think this snub is a blessing in disguise for Nani. The last thing we want is him starting to feel that he has gotten to the top and that he is in the world-class category because then we would have to deal with another ego in the team. I truly think this will motivate him to come back even hungrier for the next season. I wouldn’t mind him going on a tear from playing with a chip on his shoulder. That being said though its still important for player to be recognized when they play well and CONSISTENTLY so. Notice the keyword there (I`m talking to you Naesri and Bale).
That should be Bail instead. (only thought of it after posting)
Cedars. Superb post mate.
@RedSea
”Nani???? You don’t need a cry baby and a diver to be even nominated….good call there FA”
You stupid son of a bitch, if Nani is a cry baby, how the FUCK!! do you explain Wilshire?
Does Nani run to his twitter an bitch whenever we lose a game, or bitch about a ref performance on twitter when we lose a game?.
Stay in School.
@the scottish wonder:
amazing isn’t it? it is clearly selected by people that do not watch teams outside of the top five; or players that are the flavor of the moment.
TEAM success > individual recognition … Just ask Ryan Giggs who has only received this award once.
King Eric – cheers buddy
Fuck the FA. Fuck their awards. Fuck them all.
I turned off the telly after Arseholes scored their penalty in the 8th min of time added-on. When I saw the news just now and saw the 1-1 score I almost fainted. Finally we have a referee on our side giving another penalty for a dive by Lucas in the 11th min of time added-on. Damn I wet my pants.
The Loserfools are helping us to No. 19.
Screw the awards. We want the real trophy & medals.
Go Stoke Go!!!
WTF, no Bebe and Obertan. That proves there’s an anti United Bias
Thing is Nani doesn’t even dive. You morons just go by the reputation other fans have given him. He’s a bit soft, but he’s also one of the most fouled players. When carragher nearly ends his career, the fans and players are booing him for crying. It’s a disgrace. Against Chelsea he was fouled 7 times, more than twice as much as any other player. More than twice as much as Messi has been in a single game this season! Yet he gets criticised for being soft, it’s pathetic. Show me a video of him diving this season? There isn’t one, I’ve checked. Every time he goes down, there is contact and it’s a foul.
One oddity: how did Parker and Adam get short-listed for player of the year but then not make the team of the year?
LMAO@Cedarsdevil. superb post LOLLLL.
Whiny Wenger says Arsenal players are jaded and that had a impact on the pool game…….last week PFA’s Young Player of the year was talking about how fresh they are going to be for every game……..One carling cup run and this cockneys are over the top jaded…..Sometimes I feel sorry for Wenger……ok feeling gone……Pathetic Loser Wenger
Baines should probably had gone in ahead of cole and for fuck sake, bale player of the year? the f.a really need help, he had good performances against two italian team’s that couldn’t defend to save there lifes this season and he seems to have got elevated to world class status suddenly.
I think he’ll get found out as a one trick pony though, team’s now know exactly how to deal with him, he wasn’t the best player in the premier league this season either, loads of candidates and its a travesty that nani didn’t get a mention, what a suprise two british players got the gong.
forget about gareth bale, dimitar berbatov in it? top 2 best strikers in the league? hahaa… come on now… be serious. of all the hundreds of strikers in the premier league, he’s top 2?? you’re having a laugh… No, seriously. top 2??!! have some respect for ruud, cantona, hughes, best, laws et al. even jordi cruyf is better than this guy.
Jack Wilshire….lol……the hyped up hobbit!
Everybody hates us with so much believe and passion.
Let’s all repay them by winning the league.
And if possible the CL too.
bale for POY is a joke,,,,it wont matter when were marching off with #19….and the reds go marching on
I don’t even care about this anymore. Now i just hope the “PFA player of the year” can work some of his overhyped “magic” on Arsenal on wednesday.
@DaveM LMAO!!
good morning all
jjd
seriously?! I would rather kick your sorry ass and shove a pole up urs, which team are you supporting, I wonder how stupid, moron like people are when they forget that this season is still intact because of Berbatov (along with nani,vidic,EVDS) he scored some very crucial goals and even if you go by quality and quantity of the goals still he is miles better than that argie cunt, this jjd cunt trolls over and says he isn’t even 2nd best, go and have some life
I would prefer some positives, rather than go full negative about these London pets ( bale, wilshire ), for example one great positive from yesterday, we are six points ahead now and the record breaking 19 is almost in our bag and that too if you look at our competition,the nervy gooners ,you can say we already crossed the line
Wilshere deserved it. But Bale? Come on..
another positive
its another testament to the legend of EVDS that in his final season he is recognized as the best in EPL and it would be a fitting farewell for him to have the 19th
Agree with ancha
We need Berba – he’s an important part of the United team.
i don’t know where to put this guys, but if you think that arsenal fans are miserable after yesterday’s result and especially the way in which it hapened, try thinking what it must feel like being an arsenal fan from croatia considering the way that croatia went out to turks on the last euro 2008
@CROoney.
It must feel like a double whammy of disllusionment.
The Nani one I can’t even explain, it’s just exasperating. Never mind fella you’ll win the Ballon d’or someday.
As to wilshere. Sorry some says he’s deserving but I can’t see it. For me, Chicharito is the absolute right choice by a mile. And the fact that this is his first season in the league, makes that 2 miles for me. To me I’d think this is the more duh choice as compared to the Nani one.
you can cirtisise berbs but never doubt his abilities and his importance for the team even as a sub
dont get it why bale is player of the year he was injured for quite a long time
I refuse to recognise any award that hasn’t recognised Paul Scholes over the years… If he was Spanish and playing for Barcelona for all these years, he’d be given the same kind of plaudits as Iniesta or Xavi… Oh right, it’s an award voted for by the players, isn’t it?
Maybe a few ‘loose’ tackles may stick in there minds…? Hahahaha, 19.
These awards were decided pre-Christmas. In all fairness United have had a good run at them in recent years not too bothered about who won neither player is going to win fuck all. As for Cole at left back come on people don’t you lot know theres only 2 left backs in the country everyone else doesn’t matter. For the record Evra shouldn’t have got it.
I can see a logical explanation as to why they awarded Wilshere the young player award (which has been said above). He is young, English and he is the new pin-up boy for the British media. So, awarding that to him seems pretty reasonable to me. Not saying it is the right decision, but I can see where they’re coming from.
I don’t understand the reasoning behind Bale’s award though. I am going to come clean and say that I don’t like Nani’s character on the pitch. I am a bit old-fashioned like Roy Keane and have never liked Nani, Ronaldo, Torres, Drogba and a million others for their on-field antics. However, that is a separate discussion altogether. But, in terms of contribution to the team, very few players in all of the 20 clubs can say they are as important to their team as Nani and Vidic were to United this season.
Their importance has been doubled essentially because Nani was doing both his Valencia’s work together. And Vidic has had to cover for Rio and take on the role of being a mentor to Smalling which he has done admirably. As someone also said, in terms of importance to Spurs, Modric comes miles ahead of Bale. If anything, Modric deserved to be nominated ahead of Bale.
I guess I am just growing exasperated of such awards being decided at all the wrong times. When Giggs won it, I was glad because it was for a lifetime of service to foootball but even then I was also noticeable of the fact that there were better players that season over the 38 games.
It all comes down to when the voting takes place which is before December. Whoever decided that rule should be sacked? The season isn’t even half over by that time and none of the teams are at their 100%. The voting should ideally take place at the end of March/beginning of April because that is when the teams and players are at their peak and yo can logically make a decision on who has been the best player of the season.
Sigh! I know that is something that is never going to happen. So, I feel it is better to ignore such awards altogether as a matter of fact.
The PFA is a waste of space not much unlike the United Nations. I can’t wait for the next Planet of the Apes as I want to know how Cornelius’ and Dr Zira’s baby didnt drown when he was thrown of the side of the ship. Even more so how he ended up in a soccer loving family and got to join Tottenham. Proof indeed that Holywood is full of Jews. Anyway its nice that there is a different monkey on the news atleast for today anyway.
How on earth did Wilshire get the call, he cant shoot, hes not the best tackler, he never helps back in the full back possitions. Hes just an annoying itch. Fuck if I was the Arsenal manager he wouldnt even make the Arsenal 11. News just in Justin Beiber has been signed by Arsenal, it seems Wilshires old news. Fucking Pedo maybe Fulham will erect a statue of him when he quits the Cockneys.
Better not to get the awards. Everone that got it lately has been deported to Madrid.
I seriously hope Nani has the patience to deal with these Abu’s, don’t know why they can’t see how brilliant he is or they just don’t want to? As for javi, he thanks god every morning to be so fortunate just to play for United, all he wants is that medal around his shoulders in May, for fuck sakes!!!
if bale and nasri were in the team of the year then why isnt rafael?
Berbatov, Nani, van der Sar & Vidic Honored By PFA
http://www.theunitedreligion.com/2011/04/berbatov-nani-van-der-sar-vidic-honored.html
Someone mentioned the fantasy stats.
Hernandez (84points), 9.2% of fantasy players have him in their team. 1058 mins played.
Wilshere (81points), 6.5% of fantasy players have him in their team. 2158 mins played.
Nani (186 points), 43.8%, 2260 mins played
Cornelius (110 points), 28.8%, 2159 mins played
Bale’s award was ridiculous when compared against Nani’s achievements this season.
I’m not too peaved about Wilshere winning the YPOTR. He’s a good player and has done well for Arsenal all season. But who came second in that award?
LOL!
I finally got the “Cornelius” joke. Good one, whoever came up with that!
Saad – Well done mate, you got there in the end lol.
@Goat Kudos lol.
kopite – Fuck off you rat munching cunt. At least Carragher the bastard got his reward for his vile challenge on Nani.
Fellaini instead of Wilshere…
I find it quite undeliverable some of the reaction Bale and Wiltshire has got for winning the PFA and YPFA awards!
First of all the main problem with these awards is the fact it is decided in March or something stupid not taking the whole season into consideration!
Bale
You cant question this!.. He was phenomenal in Europe for Spurs and in some leagues too!
Wiltshire
only our Hernandez comes close, but Wiltshire still stands out for number of games played. For many has made Fabregrass look second rate!
I keep being told how United fans are the most hated, and when you see bruised Egos like some on here it isnt any wonder why!… Grow up and realise we cant win everything!
Why are you guys comparing Sagna to Rafael.. cos he’s a United player? They are both fullbacks not winger and how many goals has Rafael scored?
The list is ok but I dont think Bale deserve the award cos he didnt really perform in the EPL compared to other nominees.
Hernandez is good but cant be compared to Tevez even though he scores 30 goals.
How do you dare compare Fellaini to Wilshere? Pls do your maths well
For the record, its not about UNITED winning everything, its about Bale and Wilshire being miles away from the best players this season. If the award is all about “exciting domestic players” they should just fucking say so, that way we’ll stop expecting talent to be rewarded on merit alone. Eitherway, the reaction is NOT about United players not winning it. Scott Parker has had another fantastic season, I’d be happy to see him win it. Or Ashley Young, certainly the best England performer for their last few matches with loads of goals and assists in the league. Darren Bent? A proven talent with 11 for Sunderland and 9 for Villa compared with the 80 mill of goal shy Carroll and mis-firing Torres? Javier Hernandez for best young player, anyone? I won’t even mention the best winger in the League.
So no, its not a case of United supporters having bruised Egos, personally I couldn’t care less about the PFA because its all about medals as Scott alluded to. However, if we MUST discuss the much hyped and unavoidable PFA awards its perfectly fair to suggest the two winners haven’t done enough to justify winning it. Hernandez is clearly head and shoulders above Wilshire, but its okay, no problem, the English can have their new poster boy in WIlshire. My question is how long until he’s vilified? (Rooney) or mis-managed? (Walcott) or simply ignored? (Parker). That train is never late.
How is Hernandez also better than Wilshere? You guys needs to let aside sentiments and look at facts. I would have loved Van Persie to be in the EPL team of the year too cos he played 19 games and scored 13 goals with 6 assists.. compared to Berbatov’s 29 games with 21 goals and 3 assists and Hernandez’s 22 games with 11 goals and 1 assist.
Wilshere deserves the YPFA.
Trevor – Disgagree completely mate. Bale is a fucking joke pal. TWO good games and I literally mean two good games. Against the most over rated right back in Maicon in world football. He has no tricks, no skills, just pace. Very much like Walcott in fact.
Dont even get me started on Wilshire. He has done fuck all mate. Where was he at OT twice? Yesterday? He is the new goldenboy but gets hyped up beyond belief. Its nowt to do with jealousy but he really doesnt deserve it. He is anonymous in all the big games. Liam fucking Brady my arse. Fuck me I could make Fabregas look average this season. He has been piss poor again. Did you see the cunt yesterday playing like he has gone to Spain already.
Grow up? Oh please Trev. I know good footballers when I see them and these two aint that special. Wilsshire may become a top player but not Bale. Fucking fat head Spearing bossed it with Lucas yesterday as did Gibbo and John fucking O shea a few weeks back. Chokers of the highest order.
Fabregas average again king eric?
by again, are you referring to last season when he scored over 20 and got over 20 assists?
Bale is incredibly overrated, two champs league games against inter is all he will ever have.
I think Nani should have won PFA player of the year. He has been superb.
Wilshere deserves young player as he has been integral to that Arsenal midfield this season and make them tick. For a 19 year old that is outstanding. 24 year olds shouldnt be winning it-agreed. Hernandez has scored a lot of tap-ins domestically, and looks quality, but didnt deserve to win it. 18 goals youre quoting is all comps, and PFA is MEANT to be domestic, even if Bale has won it.
Conclusion-Award quite a farce. Bale didnt deserve it, but he won, so surely he shud have won young player as well? Nani should have won best player. Young player should always be u-21
Trevor – I am a welshman and I can be one of the best judges of bale, he has been alright for wales, pants in the premiership and his assists record proves this. He aint a ronaldo for starters and rooney has had more better games than bale has had in the premiership, and rooney has not been on form for allot of the season. If bale deserves player of the year, then rooney and berbatov should be walking this award, has berbatov 22 goals this season is an outstanding record. Not bale who turns upo every 4 games, and he is has injury prone has torres and saha
Everyone calls rooney and berbatov overrated, then fucking hell bale’s tag overrated does not do enough justice on how overhyped this player truly is. Here are the reasons why bale aint worth 30 million let alone harry drunken redknapps hilerious price tag 80 million.
The hilrious 80million price drunken redknapp has put on him, here is where I value bale
he is one footed, he cant play on the right or even play has a striker, that ronaldo and messi can do reason why they are so valuble adding their goalscoring records. So that versitility is gone, thats 30 million knocked off his price tag.
worth now 50 million
he is injury prone, 8 times out of 10 bale will miss 3 to 4 months every season. Thats another 10 million knocked off his price tag
worth now 40 million
he aint a goalscorer, he will bearly get you 15 goals, his assist record is dreadful add his injury record. His freekicks have gotten worse, who in their right mind would pay a price redknapp is asking.
Thats another 30 million knocked off his price tag
worth now 10 million
His age is the only thing keeping him going, since he is so young he gets another 15 million put on his price tag.
worth now 25 million
So in all, his weaknesses, he is not a goalscorer, he aint a great freekick taker these days, he misses atleast 4 months a season adding atleast 3 weeks to get up to speed. I think 25 million is a fair price for someone like gareth bale. And even at that price is very risky has fernando torres transfer to chelsea has shown
Bale stats: 719 passes, 42 of them key. Yeah great ratio you fucking ape like cunt.
Move on lad, Bale Who? Never expect these awards to go to United players. Pleased when they do, but never find myself expecting or waiting. I can put my suggestions in like the rest, but really find it a bit pointless most years.
Speaking of another United great who never won, Scholes is being remembered for by the talkSh*te lads
for his creedo “Talk lightly and always put a big boot in!

The Neutral – I was referring to Fabregas’ average season THIS season when saying “again”. I didnt mention his last seasons mate.
Trevor –
‘Bale’
‘You cant question this!.. He was phenomenal in Europe for Spurs and in some leagues too!’
Yeah he was so phenomenal in Europe he went missing against Real Madrid. He has been such a revelation in the Premiership that Rafael had him in his pocket at Old Trafford and they failed to score against us in either of the league games. He is clearly being awarded based on his performances in the double header against Inter Milan, because apart from that he has done fuck all. Nani has made a much bigger impact in plenty of games this season, you only have to look at his stats to know that.
I will accept players from other clubs winning it if they deserve it. As much as I hate the rent boy cunts, but Lampard deserved his award in 2005 for the impact he made on Chelsea’s season with his goals and assists. I hate that fat cunt, but he deserved it. There is absolutely no justification in my opinion for Bale to win this award instead of Nani who was amazingly overlooked for the shortlist. The same thing happened in 1999 when Keane was so far ahead of anyone in the Premiership, yet that cunt Ginola won it based on his individual goal against Barnsley. Please tell me of any other contribution he made that season that was better than what Keano made? Keeping in mind that Keane made the biggest contribution that season in what was the second biggest game that season, the European Cup semi-final against Juventus and that despite the fact he knew he was to be suspended for the final. An example of a player who can perform in the biggest of games unlike Bale. I know Keane won both awards the following year, but he should have won both awards in 1999 too.
Wilshere went missing against Barcelona and didn’t get a sniff in both games at Old Trafford. He was also ineffective against Birmingham in the League Cup Final. Verdict: Big game choker.
Just out that Micky Owen voted for Nasri, but says the voting is too early and looks a joke now.
Far enough Micky, but Nasri?
Trevor – bale was gd in europe, not phenominal
You can’t vote for someone on your own team Fletch. At least, I think you can’t.
1. Congrats on the title
2. The PFA awards are a popularity contest. If you come from the British Isles and don’t play for a big four team you have a head start.
IMO while we could argue all day whether Nani should win it or not – the fact that he wasn’t even nominated is a joke. Not the most popular among his peers (see 2). Bale winning is laughable. The media made up their mind that he was the greatest last september. A season of injury and delivering little of note hasn’t stopped them giving the award.
Fellas, this is the best article I’ve read on the PFA and how it works. Wasn’t too sure on the format but it all makes sense now. This explains everything.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thefootballtacticsblog/2011/04/do_you_agree_with_pfa_awards.html
Most players say they are more concerned with the views of their peers and supporters, than the press. Despite that, the Football Writers’ Awards are given more prestige by occuring at the end of the year. Thats why the PFA occurs at an odd time, to accommodate all those friendly writers and their unbiased views. Gary Pallister thinks both awards should happen the end of Season for obvious reasons, and it makes a lot of sense NOT to downplay the PFA for the sake of the FWA, FFS. After harassing, ridiculing and living parasitically off the Players all Season I doubt many players honestly give a FUCK what those CUNTING JOURNOS think. Heaven forbid, this year some may harbour ulterior motives against certain players and clubs, after going on and on all year how poor the runaway leaders have been…
Good read.
Wilshere is in the team and wasn’t even nominated in the pfa player of the year.Charlie Adam and Scott Parker were.This shows how much sense that makes.Don’t even get me started on Nani not being on the shortlist.But who gives a shit I could tell you all the winners of the premier league since 1990 but I couldn’t tell you who won the pfa
I dont know y som people hate nani. Looking at it he is the best and he deserve it. But maybe is becaus he is not a britian just as d princess says. But all i know is that nani is d best among them and he deserve it but due tn tribalism
