I understand the argue of the winner for the PFA POTY award this year. Perhaps they should publicized the vote like what they did in World Player of the Year/Ballon D'Or, that would have shut a lot of people's mouth. But asking me whether Giggs deserve it or not? Yes, but based on sentimental value (though he's been consistently good in all the game he played albeit not that frequent). Is there more deserving winners from the other nominees? This one I beg to differ. VDS for all his CS record hardly had a save to make, Ferdinand has been in and out of the game, Ronaldo for all his goals isn't the same as last season, Gerard was having some injury problems as well, Vidic is the most consistent of all until the Liv game (though the poll would have finish by then). They call it the tightest poll for this year as no one really stands out, understandably the sentimental value came in. And why not? If everyone about on par, the sentiments does bring another extra factor in deciding it.

Gary Neville most likely not, Paul Scholes still stands a chance. I can be sure even if Vidic have won, some would have questioned the panel! Why Giggs achieve such accolade from his fellow peers? Respect! And that itself is a major factor in them casting the votes. Gerard and Ronaldo certainly ain't the favorite ones there as they often seem to be slight arrogant (Ronaldo is a lot )

That's cause he was obviously the best that 2 season. Everyone recognise Giggs as a professional athlete, the respect he generated on and off the field added to how well he adapted to his new role as a AM, instead of the old winger he was. Everyone question his ability as the pace of EPL increase while his own pace deteriorate, yet he able to change his style and use his vision and positioning skill instead to dictate the game. He was good in every game he played this season though not much. But POTY needs consistency, the game he started doesn't suggest much of it. Again I repeat the million dollar question. Does he deserve it over this year? Not really. But does he deserve it overall? Yes. But seeing the nomination again, only Vidic will run him close for the money. I think Vidic himself would be pleased for Giggs as he know he deserve it after so many years running up and down the flanks.

actually he did! against Arsenal when he score that individual goal! Taking off his shirt and swing around his head showing his hairy chest

It is noted that Stevie G took the runner's up spot. Minus the sentimental values which might profited Giggs in winning the title, I would have thought Vidic should take that spot instead. This really shows that as a defender, you don't really get all the plaudits and recognition you deserve no matter how consistent you are. Everyone's been talking about perhaps how Giggs shouldn't get the accolade, but let's say without him in the list, I would have foreseen Gerard to take home the title instead. And the discussion thread will perhaps be change to does Stevie G deserve the PFA player's of the year award and most likely it's a Man Utd fan who started it.
