FFL week 31.............

Right then, four weeks to go.

The Player of the Year short list has been published.

The Young Player of the Year shortlist has been published.

And the Premier League are imploring us all to vote in various categories in celebration of the 20 since football began....................

For what it's worth here are my views on all the above. Player of the Year? Too easy. Van Persie's shoulders must be aching carrying Arsenal all season. An easy winner. 1/16 with the bookies. He'll walk it. More pertinently, how the fuck has Rooney got onto the shortlist? OK, he's scored plenty of goals but he's been shite for most of the season. Not even been United's best player (Valencia, Carrick, Evans, Rio, Scholes all been better than him).

Also Parker in there? Really? REALLY? Surely his inclusion is an elaborate wind up by Premier League footballers? Carrick overlooked for him shows that in England running (fast and hard) to where you're supposed to be is preferable to being there already (ready to receive, pass and move on)

Why no Kompany? Krull? Ba? Vorm? Even Coloccini has had a better year than at least two of the nominees......................

Young Player of the Year? For me it's got to be Aguero (although why the age limit is as high as 23 is beyond me but anyways). Class, class footballer. Again what is Oxo-Cube Chamberlain doing there? Had an impact in 12 and half minutes. hasn't started a game since I transferred him in. Lame.

Premier League 20 Seasons - interesting, very, very interesting.

VOTE HERE

Matches - I went for Spurs 3-5 United
Goals - I love volleys. Di Canio's is the best one there. Nutter.
Celebrations - shit category but my vote can only to King Eric although Ketsbaia's is utter lunacy
Save - Shay Given

Now the team:

GK - Schmeichel - best ever 'keeper
RB - Neville - most consistent right back in the list
CB - Ferdinand - couldn't decide between Rio, Vidic or Stam. Went for Rio for his passing.
CB - Terry - a cunt of the highest order but the other night again showed he is a quality defender
LB - Irwin - Mr Consistency. Left or right foot. Free kicks, penalties. Very under rated.
RM - Ronaldo - One of the best players of his generation.
CM - Keane - A cunt. But he was our cunt. A true captain. Driven with an insatiable will to win.
CM - Scholes - A genius. Best English footballer of the past twenty years. Easily.
LM - Giggs - name another left winger in the past 30 years as good as him for as long as him?
FOR - Eric - Defined the Premier League era. Kick-started the trophy winning machine at OT.
FOR - Henry - Balletic runner. Clinical finisher. Best striker in past 20 years.

There you have it. Oh yeah, FFL.

Here is the table:



















Top score this week was Rico with 23 pipping James with his 21. James has got in himself into third place. Who knows a couple of transfers and he could've...................
