PFA Player Of The Year Is.......



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 version of the award.

Carrick – A lot love him a lot hate him, some think he should be in the England team, some think he shouldn't even be in the United team. However the facts are he will add another Premier League winners medal to his collection and I think will land the Man United player of the year, not this one. He has been consistent, a great passer and keeps the ball better then any player in his position in England.

Mata – As one of the trio behind the striker at Chelsea Mata performances this season show how much of a talent he is, he still can’t break into the Spanish starting 11 but he has had a big season in the blue of Chelsea.

Hazard – The second Chelsea player, another one of the trio behind he front man, for his first season in England he has done very well. He does add that something a little bit different to the rest, a very skillful exciting player with a bright future. Apart from his incident with a ball boy the Belgium has had a great season.


PFA Young Player of the Year shortlist
Gareth Bale - My Winner
Christian Benteke 
Eden Hazard
Romelu Lukaku
Danny Welbeck 
Jack Wilshere

Bale – Like I said he 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. I think he will end up winning this version of the award.

Benteke – Another Belgium in this exciting list, he has been a beast for Villa. In a team that have struggled this year he has been a shining light through-out. He probably won’t win this as Aston Villa are not a 'fashionable' or 'big club' but he has been fantastic.


Hazard – The second Chelsea player, another one of the trio behind he front man, for his first season in England he has done very well. He does add that something a little bit different to the rest, a very skillful exciting player with a bright future. 

Lukaku – Has used his loan spell to show Chelsea, the Premier League and his country what he can do at this level. Similar to Drogba in some ways he bullies defenders and has been a star this year. He can play as the front man on his own or in a pair. I think he will go on loan again next year before his career at Chelsea really begins.

Welbeck – Not his best goal scoring season but when needed he does the job. His goal against Real Madrid will probably be his personal highlight of the year. Another winners medal for him in May will make up for the lack of goals. His work rate is exceptional and that has to be noted.

Wilshere – A injury hit season but when available you can see how badly Arsenal need and miss him. He won’t win this but he has to make sure he's fully rested and 100% fit for next year, a Wold Cup year when not only Arsenal but England will be watching and relying on him.

Where has as it all gone wrong for Chelsea?

After Chelsea’s defeat in Germany to Bayer Leverkusen manager Andre Villas-Boas is a man under serious pressure no matter what he thinks. As Chelsea sank to their third defeat from their last five games I look into where has it gone wrong? Well Chelsea was on a run of six unbeaten going in to their game at Loftus Road towards the end of October. A game where Chelsea thought they would walk all over their London rivals. This didn’t happen that day in West London Chelsea lost the game and lost the plot. The repercussions of that match have still left an effect. QPR won 1-0, but the game will also be remembered for John Terry’s racist slur, Chelsea’s ill-disciplined team (7 yellows and 2 reds). Plus AVB was fined £12,000 after the game for comments made about the referee. Since that match Chelsea have only beaten Blackburn Rovers & Everton on penalties. Their defence looks weak, Terry is getting exposed and David Luiz is not the best partner. Centre of midfield is a problem, Lampard ...
After this weekend’s events what have we learnt in the Premier League. Firstly its Man City’s title to lose, 11 wins and 1 draw in the league at this point they look unstoppable. Man United have a problem in centre midfield. Rooney is filling a gap there and Fergie knows he has a problem. There’s a lack of creative talent in the centre of the park, missing out on Nasri & Sneijder is showing plus the loss of Scholes showed how good he really was. Young could move into the centre where he did play for Aston Villa which could be an option. Tottenham look to be firing on all cylinders now, pace down both wings and they have the creative spark with Modric and Van Der Vaart. Now with Scott Parker doing the dirty work they look in good condition for top 4. Newcastle United’s first test against City was always going to be hard after an easy start to the season, but they do look solid at the back and have been exciting to watch. Chelsea look to have forgotten how to defend, lost th...

English sides in Champions League..

A look at the English sides in Champions League action this week. Real Madrid v Liverpool  Out of form Liverpool head to Madrid which was always going to be the toughest game of the group. They were given a footballing master class at Anfield by the current European Champions as they won 3-0. Madrid are on a 11 game winning streak in all competitions and I only see that continuing. Liverpool are struggling, Mario Balotelli hasn't lived up to the hype, while Gerrard is struggling this season and it looks like he will be rested, or in other words 'dropped'. There is a clear over reliance on Raheem Sterling, if you keep him quite you keep Liverpool quite. They still can't defend, which cost them their first ever Premier League title. I see Real Madrid winning this 4-0 with Ronaldo scoring the first. Arsenal v Anderlecht  Arsenal could practically seal their place in the knock-out stages of the Champions League with a win here. The Gooners snatched victory against Anderlech...
