About to buy Man on Fire and Moneyball, even though I know nothing about baseball. Good idea or no?

Edit: I should note that I am in the checkout line :p

Michael Owen going on about PFA awards at the moment. What does Footy Gaf think?

I'd go for...

POTY: Van Persie
Young POTY: ??? (no idea what constitutes as young nowadays - would have gone for Jones pre-christmas)

Team:

Hart

Baines
Kompany
Coloccini
Richards

Bale
Carrick
Silva
Valencia

Van Persie
Rooney

Plenty of other options but that's what I've rested on.

Caught the highlights from the Nextgen final. Those damn Inter kids are some dirty fuckers. No intention to play football at all.

That is some Fast paced and Beautiful football is being played tonight between Juve and Inter from both sides! Probably the best 1st half I've seen this season in Seria A!

What a great game for a neutral! Shame there isn't any goals yet.

Also Buffon still got it!

Umm has daylight savings fucked your schedule? Lol

Haha no I watched the first half and I had that typed in a reply but forgot to submit, just submitted because oh well what the hell.

Matri had an off first half but he could have scored twice. Should've scored that header, for sure.

And missed a golden chance in the box as well.

They better turn up in the second half.......................

edit: Vucinic pushing Marchisio out of the way kinda summed up Vucinic.

How about Welbeck for YPOTY?
Click to expand...
Decent shout. I think he's a had a really good season getting to 10 goals and generally contributing well to our play.

I'm gonna stick with Scott Sinclair though, since he's not only played well but also been a leader of sorts for Swansea.

POTY: van Persie. He's been absolutely amazing. Without him, Arsenal would be fighting with Liverpool for 6th place

My choices for YPOTY are Krul and Vorm. It's a really tough call. I think they have been the two best keepers in the league. I'll go with Vorm because the award can't be shared.

Team of the year:

Vorm

Richards
Kompany
Agger
Assou-Ekotto

Dempsey
Sessegnon
Van der Vaart
Silva

Van Persie
Rooney

Bench:
Krul
Ba
Aguero
Yaya Toure
Modric
Walker
Vermealen

His interviews are great. But he can't top Favre's. :D

It's definately a tough choice. No doubt that Favre is doing a great job. But I rate Streich a bit higher. Freiburg was almost dead, with Cisse leaving they were dead. And he managed to revive them. No way I would have guessed that, they were already relegated for me.

Again: have you seen our schedule? If we want to do something in the semi finals of CL, then we got to forget about the Bundesliga completely.

Yeah, I've seen it. 6 free points for you until the match and after that, depending on the result, everything is possible.

You're my latest follower on twitter, aren't you? I'm following you back now.

Just woke up, before I went to bed, the real Kermit sent me a very lovely tweet. :lol I can't see anymore though, I think he either deleted or protected his tweets.

Brendan Rogers surely a shoe-in for manager of the year too?

Rodgers or Pardew. Lambert also a good shout but those first two the most impressive candidates IMO.

Daglish if you want to include commercial deals which you should or you need an IQ test :lol

I'd say Pardew deserves it a little more; Rodgers, Lambert and O'Neill have all done brilliant jobs but they're in that little gaggle of teams all around each other. Fantastic by them but Newcastle being level with Chelsea is as much a sign of them being good as Chelsea being poor.

SAF again has been the primary reason we're still in the title race, but it's expected.

Vorm is 28 for those picking him btw.

I think Krul is 23 so qualifies just. But I think it should be under 21's only.
Click to expand...

Lol, I'll go with Welbeck then. Everytime I've seen him, I've thought to myself that if he improves his finishing, he'll be something special.

These aren't my final opinions, because there are still some games to go.
