PFA Player of the Year shortlist: Robin van Persie  - My Winner  Luis Suarez  Gareth Bale  Michael Carrick  Juan Mata  Eden Hazard Van Persie -  The Dutchman has probably been the signing of the summer for United as his goals have lead United to the title. He may have had a small dip in form for part of the season but his quality did show and is my pick for this award. Carried on his form from last season and could win this award for the second season on the spin. Suarez- Had by far his best season at Liverpool, a good goal scorer, not great as he does miss a lot, but at least he's in those positions. He for me showed his work rate is one of the best in England and he is too good to be playing Europa League in a World Cup year. Bale – Has had his best season in English football. He has mastered playing on the wing or down the middle. Bale is now the key man for club and country and the future looks bright for Bale. He won't win this...

It looks like QPR will be playing Championship football next season after a disappointing & gutting draw against Wigan on Sunday. After going down to 10 men when Bobby Zamora foolishly got himself sent off, Rangers took the lead with a goal by Lioc Remy who has been nothing more then sensational for QPR. However they let themselves down once again by giving away a free kick in the dieing seconds where Shaun Maloney curled it in to the top corner. As the silence fell at Loftus Road realisation was for the fans they knew there's no way they can crawl there way back and survive from this.   So who is to blame for the carnage of a season QPR have had:   1. Mark Hughes - This is the man who last season said 'We will never be in this position again with me in charge' Well he was right, in fact it was a even worse position.  Hughes wasted big money on players who simply didn't care & were just their for a final pay day. Bosingwa, Park, Granero, Zamora, Johnson...

This weekend the focus is at the foot of the table again as Reading have a huge game against Southampton.  It will be Nigel Adkins first game in charge at the Madejski Stadium taking on his former side. The way he was treated at St Mary's was very harsh  and he will want nothing more to get one over his old side. However Reading can not defend for their life's and Southampton are pretty  decent going forward. I think Reading could manage a draw but that won't be enough.  Norwich who are not out of the woods yet face Swansea.They  have won the last 3 meetings against the Swans and they probably will win on Saturday and secure their Premier League place for another season.  Stoke have a massive game at home to Aston Villa, Stoke have lost 5 of their last 7 in the league and if Villa can get the win they will only be one point behind them.  On Sunday Paulo Di Canio takes his Sunderland side to Chelsea, a place where he has good memories but it wi...
