[Leicester Fox]

The awards were obviously right so I'd agree with them.
My team of the year
James or Foster (Portsmouths defence is better than Watfords but as much as I dislike James based purely on this season he's been class)
Evra,only name that comes to mind,not many options.
Vidic
Carvalho
Neville (just pips Micah Richards)
Giggs
Scholes
Essien/Gerrard. Gerrard gets more credit for the obvios reasons of being English and not playing for Chelsea
Ronaldo
Drogba
Berbatov despite not doing it away from home often enough

 

[evertonfan]

James in for Van Der Sar
Carragher in for Ferdiand

Now there's the team of the year.

 

[PhilD123]

Yeah I'd have that pretty much Matt. Vidic and Evra have been fantastic this year. I can't understand Van Der Sar to be honest, even before his mistakes recently he had looked a bit shaky earlier in the season. James has been fantastic for Pompey.

I'd have...

James
Neville (Hasn't been world class but cant think of a right back who has)
Vidic (Amazing this year)
Carragher (Although if this team was playing you'd want Rio for the Rio/Vidic partnership)
Evra
Ronaldo
Giggs
Scholes
Essien (he's been great for chelsea this year)
Drogba
Berbatov

Sachin, Fabregas only scored his first goal in the Premiership for the season a week or two ago.

he's a playmaker, not a goalscorer. don't see why Evra is in that line-up

Obiviously haven't been watching United this year. He started off shakily at United at the end of last season, but he's been immense this year.

Yeah Fabregas is a play maker but you want more than 2 goals a season from an attacking midfielder. It hasn't been a fantastic season for Fabregas, as much as I think he's a classy player.

 

[Jaztheman]

Jaz, you live in Sleaford do you know this guy ?

..... of course not. Sam(if that is your name) don't say anything.

Team of the year

James
Neville
Taylor
Vidic
Carragher
Ronaldo
Essien
Giggs
Drogba
Berbatov
Martins

Comletely different than all of you really.

he deserves a place more than gerrard

 

[PhilD123]

Essien's been better than both of them. He's been fantastic this year.

 

[Will_NA]

Essien's been better than both of them. He's been fantastic this year.

Can't disagree with that. Essien is a rock

Gael Clichy is underrated

 

[themuel1]

Why on earth is Gerrard in there? The Defence looks good, spot on in my opinion. I'd have essien in for gerrard. Strikers....Can't disagree (although I'd love to on Drgoba). He (Drogba) has been Chelsea's best player and Berbatov has been simply sensational. I'm hoping United exchange Saha for him.

 

[hassan]

Gerrard is just selfish... A great player and influencial but quite selfish.. just tries and tires all time to shoot from long distances

And does score a lot of times, i'll have you know. The latest being his last full game last Wednesday.

Yes I think Gerrard could only just scrape in there if he was lucky, although it hasn't bene one of his better seasons (not helped by Sissoko being injured and Alonso playing awful). It's not as hes done nothing though.

I'm not saying he's not a great player. Just hasn't done to much this season. But then, we've come to expect amazing things from him, which he can't do all the time.

 

[BigCrickNan]

Well hopefully he can turn it on Wednesday night, although he probably won't use his attacking sense as much. That's why he's better than Lampard, Lampard doesn't have to carry his team when the going gets really tough.

Well eventually he would get one in after about a hundred tries....
