[The Vulcan]

I'm one of the 50% but who do you think deserves it ?

Maybe someone not on the list? i.e. Lampard

Can we have a Poll?

Nope, id stick with the Guy who plays in the 2 man team

[mrbojangles]

Stevie Ireland

[Chaimai]

Yep, it has to be Gerrard

(as the case against him was dropped)

[patklang]

Abdoulye Faye has been a giant amongst smaller giants and i couldnt believe Newcastle sold him for peanuts.

Let you guess who he plays for as this guy is a monster

I could, because he was crap.

Got to be Vidic or Ferdinand this year (sure a ManU fan will be able to say who has been better) if ManU do win the league itll be down to how well their defence was in that run of games where they didnt concede.

these things are done in january which makes them a bit of a daft awards to be honest. and while giggs is a great player and has had a great career, having him in this is like giving scorcese the oscar for the departed when he's made ten better movies. giggs has only started 11 games and scored 1 goal this season for chuff's sake.

Youre the most predictable poster on Thaivisa.

Im all for banter, but cant you just for once try with your mind that as a child was seemingly damaged in the UK's capital of mental illness come up with something original, just for once .... please!

Anyway Faye wouldnt make it into anyones choice of players of the season lists nor would any Stoke City players, but Rory Delap would probably be the Premier Leagues greatest shotputter.

[mrbojangles]

Stevie Ireland doesn't look a popular figure then

[StevieH]

Played 24 games

Started 12 games

Substitute 12 games

Completed 90mins in 9 games

Time on pitch 1,223 minutes

Goals 1

what a farce english football is these days.

Sentiment vote to wrap up his career - worthless.

Let's be honest Giggs isn't the best player. I agree that it's a sentiment vote for his lifetime achievements in football.

What about Ashley Young winning the young player award. The only thing "young" about him is his name. I thought that the young player of the year should be under 21. Maybe I'm wrong. Ashley Young was born in 1985.

vidic and gerrard have probably been the two best players in the league this season. pretty bad that lampard wasn't in the six as he's been very consistent.

[mrbojangles]

What an absolute joke. If they want to give someone a lifetime achievement award. Then do exactly that. How on earth someone who isn't even Uniteds player of the year can get this award is beyond me.

andy gray was on sky last night attempting to justify this.

'so what has giggs done this season to win this award then andy?'

'well, he's come off the bench regularly and scored a lot of important goals'.

one, andy. one.

farcical. but probably demonstrates the sheep-like stupidity of footballers more than anything else.

[sanmiguel]

vidic and gerrard have probably been the two best players in the league this season. pretty bad that lampard wasn't in the six as he's been very consistent.

Agreed, always been a detractor of Fat Frank but you cant knock him for effort or consistency.

Hasnt Giggs played well in Europe and in cup competitions this year? Fair play to him anyway football would be better if there were more with his outlook and lack of arrogance. Over the last 16 years he must have been the best player in at least 1 of those years without winning it.

The illigitimate Welsh c**t.

[bkkjames]

Yea, this was a simple "sorry we didn't give it before" better give it to you know award.

haha! he's a lot of things but i don't know about illegitimately welsh. his mum is welsh and he changed back to her surname didn't he?

the stupidest thing about these things is when the players vote. what's the point of sending out ballots in january when the business end of the season is yet to happen? gordon taylor wants a shoeing, and not just for this farce.

[sanmiguel]

Google "ryan giggs is illegitimate he aint got no"

Quite a famous song about the boyo.

"THEY" as I understand it are his fellow professionals not a United conspiracy. Giggs who in my opinion should have won at least one award in the 18 years or so he has be at United is indeed fortunate to win it this season. Maybe a poll of why his felow professionsals voted for him is in order. As for Uniteds player of the year please enlighten us I wasn't aware it had already been awarded

As i said and i stand by it. It is more of a lifetime achievement award. Even die hard United fans i know, admit it. The fact that he has been historically one of the most outstanding servants you have ever had, is totally irrelevant. As mentioned above, he's only started 12 games and scored one goal. Well if that makes him player of the year, even Joey Barton must be in for a shout

As for Uniteds player of the year please enlighten us I wasn't aware it had already been awarded

Who is the current holder? Who was it the year before? Ronaldo or Ryan Giggs

Do you honestly think this year that Giggs has outshone Vidic, Ronaldo, Rooney, Ferdinand, Van Der Sar etc. Jaysus, even Berbatov has outshone him this year.

But if you want to give awards based on sentimentality, that's upto you

[The Vulcan]
