    If we're getting into positions; ronaldo? midfielder? :) reeeeally! ;)

    Difference is if you consider Ronaldo a striker than he would still walk in there. :)

    Sagna has definately been teh best RB in the league this year. IMO thats one of the few positions thats not up for debate :)

    Gerrard has played in central midfield for the vast majority of the season. And was playing well there before Christmas.

    I realise that :) I was just explaining the debate.
    Either way, even if he was a further, he'd just push out Torres or Adebayour :P

    Also how anyone can not consider Sagna as instant first choice is beyond me. He has been utterly amazing this season, and nobody else has been anywhere near that good. Who else would people suggest?

    all the Utd boys are very friendly this morning....ye must be a little worried could end up without a trophy this year ;)

    That is not what happened. Also, relevance?

    The team of the season is pretty much spot on. Maybe a little tough on Evra, but otherwise...

    Yeah here's a tune for ya -

    The Fergie Bus -

    "He likes to park it, he likes, he likes to park it
    He likes to park it, he likes, he likes to park it,

    The Fergie Bus is parking
    And everyone's defending
    Nou Camp to the San Siro
    Shots on goal is zero
    The fans they are a snoring
    As Fergie's men are boring
    So if you like good football
    You better go watch Arsenal

    He likes to park it, he likes, he likes to park it
    He likes to park it, he likes, he likes to park it"

    You could be right, but we are used to winning trophies so it will be a shock if we don't, I wouldn't swap it for the ice cold coolness of the low expecting Liverpool fans thou. :)


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 13,016 ✭✭✭✭jank


    I was thinking about this a while ago, wanted to get back into it, cause ya know, Van Nist tore it up in La Liga while Henry couldn't hack it :P
    Well the fact the his back is ****ed may have something to do with it.

    agree with pretty much most of the team maybe evra should be there he is prob the left back in the world atm but fair play to clichy he had a great year.

    only a idiot can say gerrard doesnt deserve to be there he has been fantastic this year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,008 ✭✭✭delija_sever029


    So Ronaldo won title for best payer of the league


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 657 ✭✭✭tomred1


    Ballack instead of Gerrard has not done much this season.
    Reina instead of James.
    Laursen insted of Ferdinand,overrated .

    What about Lawrence in championship team but not in Ireland squad.

    Ferdinand has been the best defender in the PL by a good distance this season IMO :) Absolute rock :)

    Ballack?Laursen?No way .....

    Please tell me you mean "team of the weekend" and not of the season?!

    Rio-hate him, but he had been the best defender of the season undoubtadly.

    Ballack has come good in the last few weeks, but nowhere near top tier of midfielders in the PL this season.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 657 ✭✭✭tomred1


    Laursen is easily the best defender in PL. I knew he would never make the list as most people only see the top 4 on tv now. He is on the top of most Fantasy League teams also.

    Ballack has been great since he came back from injury.
    Reina has been great all season, miles better than JAmes.

    Because he scored a few goals at the start of the season. Nothing to do with how good a defender he is, if that was the case then Lescott is the best defender in England.

    Wow. I think this is the first season since I started watching football 15+ years ago that I've agreed with the end of season Best XI of the top division... Amazing.

    Just echo what others have said, Evra and Clichy have both been amazing so it's difficult to choose between them but few arguments over the selection really... Possibly Barry ahead of Gerrard? Tough call though.

    If he was playing for a top 4 club or if he was English he would have made the list (maybe even PLayer of the year). It is simply because Villa are not on the TV as much.

    Ferdinand and Vidic have conceded 21 goals in the league. 21! Villa, 47.

    It doesn't always go on stats. Laursen has Zach Knight beside him!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,617 ✭✭✭✭PHB


    Ferdinand has Wes Brown :)

    Fabregas beating Torres to Young Player of the Year shows the pointlessness of these awards unless they are voted for in May instead of January.
