No - just a lazy version of Warney.... There's no way in a million years I'd predict Paul Scholes as the player of the year!!

Your article will need updating after RVP signs for Man U.

i didnt actually read it. i dont really agree with alot of the blog writers over there and get frustrated that people like that make a living from talking football.
he has scholes as PotY yet manutd finishing third? interesting. couple of them have picked yaya as PotY?! even more interesting.
might aswell do our own predictions:

1st - city (by more than 3pts) 2nd - united. 3rd - chelsea. 4th - arsenal (hopefully). 5th - spurs. 6th - newcastle. 7th - dirty scousers. 8th - westham (hope more than prediction)
relegation: norwich - wigan - WBA.
PotY - silva/aguero.
young PotY - aguero / hazard
top goalscorer - aguero.
FA cup - city.
carling cup - arsenal.
europa - PSG
champs league - bayern.

Blackpool lost their playoff aye?
Forgot about Balotelli, he'll come close again.

 

[ljandkg]

Yeah just fixed it!
Trust me, Balotelli will never win any award in England, too many in the media hate him...

for subjective writing i prefer football365. its a little more relaxed and i tend to agree with more of the articles.
for solid info, you cant beat soccernet tho. and official club sites.

A shame, for all his misgivings, he seems a pretty generous guy.
Crunch time for Van Persie. Not sure he imagined himself at United when he made that stupid statement a month or so ago.

 

[sgt_pepper]

/\/\ would you rather sell him or let him go next year? both as bad as each other really. only downside to selling him i think is that hes going to another epl club...?

song to barca?

Still would rather keep him, can only make the team better I feel. Would've much rather seen him go to Juve, or anywhere abroad really. Wenger has never sold a player to United, and still can't quite believe Van Persie would go there. He was worshipped last season.

 

[ljandkg]

All over twitter he's off to Utd.... mind u it was with Sneijder as well...
