THE NOMINEES

Players' Player of the Year

Emmanuel Adebayor (Arsenal)
Cristiano Ronaldo (Man Utd)
Fernando Torres (Liverpool)
David James (Portsmouth)
Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal)
Steven Gerrard (Liverpool)

Young Player of the Year

Gabriel Agbonlahor (Aston Villa)
Cristiano Ronaldo (Man Utd)
Fernando Torres (Liverpool)
Ashley Young (Aston Villa)
Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal)
Micah Richards (Man City)

How old do you have to be to not be a young player anymore? Ronaldo is well older than the rest of them. Not that it matters, Ronaldo is going to win the main one and probably the other, and deservedly so.

I think that Torres would be a better choice just because of demeanor and sportsmanship and if he was in the season any year when Ronaldo wasn't scoring 97 goals he'd be a shoe-in.

David James' inclusion made me laugh though I have to admit.

From Fox Sports

England coach Steve McClaren insists he has not shut the door on out-of-favor trio David Beckham, David James and Sol Campbell. Beckham was left out out in the cold for England's friendly loss to Spain despite injury problems affecting the likes of Aaron Lennon.

1. If the door wasn't shut, why the hell didn't James and Campbell get called up for the last friendly? Both would have been welcomed in the squad. I guess the only thing that stops me from getting 1) pissed 2) indignant about it is the fact that it was just a friggin friendly so who cares--really.


2. Fuck off Fox Sports, Beckham didn't get called up for the friendly because he's just about useless, and ahead of the match, he hadn't played forever because of the temper tantrum from Calderon and Capello at Real Madrid. But most importantly let's not forget--useless.
