hmmm flame baiting? thats low, even froma cat faced with smiles...

the bottomline is Player of the YEAR

if vidic won it, it would be with no gripe either dude, so basically dun flame bait for no reason, it demeans posting on the forums

Just when everything seems to be on track for the right discussion.Someone will appear as a hero, representing the rest to start something unnecessary that will definitely lead to flame war...Sigh...

We only see him on tv when ever he is near the ball. Those voters / players played against him. Note that Man Utd players cannot vote for their own teammates. It is not that 3 or 5 judges decide on the award. It was voted by all the BPL players.

Well granted there are certainly more deserving nominees than Giggs this year, but sometimes I think awards are given out not purely based on that. Well in this case sentiments and under achievement (in terms of personal accolades) on Giggs' side helped to convince fellow peers to vote for him.

Yes, he is not deserving of it this year. But awards are given as a mark of recognition, and I guess they see that Giggs should win it before he hangs his boots.

What if it's 2017, Gerrard is what, 35 or something, and he still hasn't won the award before? As a rival player, I'd like to think I'd vote for an immense player like Gerrard, if he's had a fairly good season, and if there wasn't any outstanding or clear-cut nominee that year.

I understand why people are dissatisfied over Giggs' win, but I have to say I also understand why people would vote for him. And that's that.

torres should be included in the PFA man, ryan giggs? wth?

They should rename PFA award to "Lifetime Achievement" Award.

Heck on this logic...Nani will win this award if if keeps playing till 35...

Teddy Sheringham would be wondering... "WTF!? how come i didnt get some..."

P.S My player of the year goes to Vidic or Gerrard

Are you sure? Does that mean every single manu players have no choice but to vote for Gerrard? I don't think so.

first day watch football? gerrard already won it and somehow some other teams have a much bigger reaction than now

Teddy won it at 00/01 fyi, and he was awesome that year.

I think they vote based on sentiment as well, not that they are dumb. There is a difference.

i think he meant teddy havent won the lifetime achievement award

btw u can argue as much as u can but the results will never change until next season...

what a way to evade.

i like ryan giggs.his got his own style to whack others team.pity for him coz nvr win this award.he deserve this long2 time ago.anyway congrat to him.


p/s:dun talk cock ler.he deserve to win it.

Is not about changing the winner and getting another player to win the award.


Is about whether Giggs deserve it or not.

my answer is yes....he deserve it....even any player from other team win that award....its mean they deserve it...

nice comeback, although I don't think there was a said "argument" to begin with.

again, flame baiting is frown upon and you just stepped on line no.2

peace, and hope for more constructive statements from you in the near future...

Don't know much about him, just watched him play a few matches,he wasn't impressive. Can't imagine he got this award

I watched both Aston Villa and Sunderland match and decided to crown Macheda the Young Player of The Year.

Although he is relatively new to BPL. He is more capable than Ashley Young.
