PFA Winners Rooney & Milner. Got a picture sent to me but it cant be shown until 23:31 & you know what this place is like for grasses.
would it of really mattered anyway, i mean the nucastle boards isnt exactly the national fucking press. plus that ugly mug and that unimportant tart really didnt have any impression on my day anyway. this news can jog on since roony must lose us the world cup eventually. yay!
he was 23 or younger when the first ball was kicked at the start of the season personally, its a farce. How rooney can be the BEST player in the league, but not the BEST YOUNG player in the league??? take nothing away from Milner though, he is a class act.
Drogba is the best player this year. All those goals even after pissing off to Africa for a few weeks and NO PENALTIES.
prem team of the year = hart ivanovic vermaelen dunne evra valencia fabregas fletcher milner rooney drogba how the fuck is lampard left out? 20 goals from midfield? fletcher in instead of him, have a word...
Although Im not fletchers biggest fan its not just about how many goals you score, its voted for by players so I assume theyve all found fletcher hard to play against
The Opta team of the year is interesting. With the PFA recently announcing their team of the season for 2009/10, Opta use their analysis algorithm, a scoring system based on more than 300 different recorded actions, to provide their own line-up of the Premier League’s outstanding performers of the season: Marcus Hahnemann - Wolverhampton Wanderers - More saves per game than any other regular 'keeper - 4.4 - Highest saves-to-shots ratio of any regular goalie - 79.7% - 96% catch success rate Nemanja Vidic - Manchester United - Blocked 1.17 shots per 90 minutes, only five defenders more - One goal conceded per 128 mins on the pitch - the best rate in PL this season. - Won 71% of his duels - the highest proportion in the league John Terry - Chelsea - Only two defenders helped keep more clean sheets (15) - Only two players made more successful passes this season than him (1572) - Scored more than one PL goal for first time since Chelsea's last title win in 05-06 Glen Johnson - Liverpool - More successful crosses per 90 mins than any other defender - Created more goalscoring chances per 90 mins than any other defender in open play - 2.19 completed dribbles per 90 mins is 0.83 more than any other defender Ashley Cole - Chelesa - Kept a clean sheet in 53% of the games where he played the full 90 mins - Scored three goals from just 10 shots - Had the second-highest passing accuracy of all defenders - 88% Francesc Fabregas - Arsenal - Created more goalscoring chances per 90 mins than any other player (3.9) - 107 touches per 90 mins is over 10 more than any other player - Most assists in the league this season (13) Frank Lampard - Chelsea - Scored 20 league goals in a season for the first time in his career - Created more goalscoring chances than any player this season (109) - More shots (109) than any other midfielder Niko Kranjcar - Tottenham Hotspur - At Spurs created 2.8 chances per game, 5th most in the league - Has created five or more goalscoring chances in three games this season - Five of his six assists have come away from home Florent Malouda - Chelesa - Second only to Cesc Fabregas in terms of chances created per 90 mins (3.4) - Set up 10 shots away at Birmingham, as well as having six himself - Only winger in PL to score more than one brace of goals this season Wayne Rooney - Manchester United - Averaged 0.92 goals per 90 mins this season, more than any other player - Top scorer in the league with 26 - Only Tim Cahill scored more headed goals (5) Carlos Tévez - Manchester City - Scored seven braces - a league-high along with Drogba - Was the only striker to assist two goals in a match twice - Since December 1 has scored 20 goals, more than any other PL player Of the 11 players to have made it into the PFA’s team of the season, only Wayne Rooney and Cesc Fabregas make it into Opta’s. Perhaps the most surprising inclusion is Marcus Hahnemann of Wolves, the only player in the list not to represent a side in the top seven this season. Though the ‘keeper has been one of the busiest in the league as his side fought against the drop, his excellent saves-to-shots ratio of 79.7% is perhaps the main reason for his position as the Premier League’s number one. Fabio Capello could be boosted by the presence of five England players in Opta’s team of the season, including three defenders: Glen Johnson, Ashley Cole and John Terry, leaving only one position in defence available (the next highest-ranked central defender on the Opta Index was Spurs’ Michael Dawson). With the season not yet over, Chelsea fans will be boosted by the fact that players from their team make up four of Opta’s “best XI”, compared to just two from Manchester United and one from other sides. With the Premier League title race still open, will their star performers be able to reach their peak again in the two games remaining and clinch the title? Also interesting to note is the striker combination that the scoring system provided, as two team-mates from last season, Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez, were ranked the top performers this season, narrowly ahead of Didier Drogba.
