Men's Players' Player of the Year shortlist

Diego Costa (Chelsea)

David De Gea (Manchester United)

Philippe Coutinho (Liverpool)

Eden Hazard (Chelsea)

Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)

Alexis Sanchez (Arsenal)

Men's Young Player of the Year shortlist

Thibaut Courtois (Chelsea)

Philippe Coutinho (Liverpool)

David De Gea (Manchester United)

Eden Hazard (Chelsea)

Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)

Raheem Sterling (Liverpool)

.................................................. .........................
De Gea to definitely get one award.

Hazard the other.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

To be perfectly honest if a player is in one list he should not be in the other.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I am still here. I think that Spurs have to heavily invest in new players, and get rid of crap players - plus Baldini, who l believe will be going soon.

I don't think Levy will be happy that we don't have European football next season. That means we have to go two years without big football at WHL.

It doesn't surprise me though. Hopefully, we might get in by the Fair Play League

I think that Pocj has to sit down and decide what we need to do, either invest in academy players or buy something big.

I think the good news this season will be that Kane will get a hat trick - PFA BOTH awards - plus l believe he will be Footballer of the Year, with Hazard in second place.

I think that Kane has had a brilliant season, and will hit the target set by Clive Allen

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

How old can you be and still qualify for young player?

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I think it's 21.

Got a nasty feeling it's going to be a bloodbath at Stamford Bridge tonight. Only De Gea can prevent a cricket score :erm:

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

And he is 24. ;)

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Its 25

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Chelsea strolling to the title even though MU were probably the better team today.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Phew.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Hopefully we will meet you in the final if things go well this afternoon.:)

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

That's two results in a row ground out now - they're going to be deserving champions in fairness.

Normal service resumed at Selhurst. You won't believe the number of people who were talking about how we were the better side and had more possession - as though last season hadn't happened and we shouldn't know better than anyone that these things don't actually matter! We were out-Pulised. The thing about Pardew is that we'll beat Man City but won't be able to find a way past the likes of West Brom. Under Pulis it would have been the other way around coupled with the remote possibility that we'd edge out a top side for a draw. 30% possession, defend the point you have and maybe nick a goal on the break might be bloody awful to watch (trust me, last season was torture, and this season has been much more enjoyable) but it does work, whilst our current course can only really work in the short to medium term. At some point the bubble will burst and we'll have to go back to basics. After all, our four wins in a row until yesterday included (luckily) beating Stoke away aswell as the champions. 6 points that you simply cannot have been counting on - arguably 1 might have been considered an acceptable return. Take five points from our current total and we'd only just be above West Brom who we lost to yesterday - if we'd spent a season doing that and those results had gone against rather than for us we'd be in serious trouble, something which should be unacceptable given the high quality of the squad. And the reality is that West Brom and their like are our immediate rivals and it is they who we need to be taking points from consistently. If we have a poor start to next season I genuinely don't know if we will have the organisation required to make a fight of it in the latter stages.

But what about Stephen Gerrard's last game and birthday? :(

Aston Villa look up for it. It's going to be a hard game.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Rodgers is clueless tactically and is a serial failure pure and simple.:td::td::(:(

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Rodgers did well for Liverpool the last couple of years. You're too quick to call for the dismissal of managers denphone.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Name me the last Liverpool manager who did not fail to win some sort of trophy in their first 3 years?.

Sorry but when the crunch matches have come along he has failed in every single one of them and the reason is because he is tactically clueless and fails to handle the pressure of the big games wherever managers like JM and LVG are rarely found wanting in those big pressure games.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Some sort of trophy, what big club cares about league cups and community shields. I'll tell you a manager who didn't win a trophy for his first four years at man utd and look how that turned out.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

A one off and one which won't happen in the modern game any more.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

He got you into the Champions League and competing for the league at one stage! The big trophies are the league and Champions league, then FA Cup then the other ones.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

At least Stevie won't have to work on his birthday now. The media are going to be devastated he won't get his fairytale ending.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

And sadly this season we are light years behind with regards to the PS and have zero chance of qualifying for the CL.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Actually howard wilkinson was doing something similar with Leeds at around same time albeit with a promotion thrown in for good measure. Modern game pffft what is that, a game where spoilt billionaires throw toys out of prams and sack people after not winning the league cup for a season, that's not how dynasties are built. Real fans should know better.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Of course that how dynasties are not built TD but we are in the reality of the modern game where supporters pay of awful lot of money to follow their teams and see players getting extremely well paid and thus if success does not arrive they expect the managers head on a platter at the end of the day if results don't go their way as we saw with DM last season.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Last year you were challenging for it and this year you've lost your best player. Far too harsh on Rodgers.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Maybe l am being too harsh but this season especially earlier on and of late have been bitterly disappointing to say the least.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

And he did buy Ballotelli, or did he?;)

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

£16 million wasted utterly in my opinion.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

No that was Suarez.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

And Lovren, and Markovic ...

He's essentially wasted the Suarez money, which is criminal.

I'm inclined to agree with Denphone, Rodgers has not done a good job at Liverpool and finishing in the top two off the back of a world class player and a very good striker while the rest of the team shipped goals for fun shouldn't be allowed to mask that fact. They do need to get rid.

They are a horrible football club though, so in the meantime we can all stand back and laugh.

Footballer Adam Johnson charged over child sex and grooming claims http://trib.al/FE55bPJ

:( if he found guilt hope he get what he deserves shocking if it true

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Can't understand why he was allowed to play in the meantime though given the seriousness of this allegation.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Staggering in my opinion but until charged most clubs will do nothing.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Some times Karma happens....did anyone see the appalling tackle my Bayern Munich defender Badstuber on Tuesday night, it was a two footed, off the ground, studs up, Kung Fu dive into his opponent. If that had been in the Premiership Martin Atkinson would have given him a straight red but as the game was in Munich he bottled it for me and gave a yellow. I have just read that Badstuber will now be out of action for 3 to 4 months due to injury.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

That old word inconsistency rears its ugly head again sadly iadom.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Innocent until proven guilty, they were right to let him play if he hadn't been charged with anything. There's talk of him still being able to play now

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

yes he can still play disagree with the clubs decision now he been charged

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Frankly it does not set a very good example to allow him to play given he has now been charged.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Bookies have suspended betting on Charlie Austin going to Newcastle. They know something we don't

Fee is £10 million and was said to be agreed by Mike Ashley himself as a condition of appointing Steve McClaren as Newcastle manager in June. There are also no returning odds on McClaren being the Newcastle boss now.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

And the bookies are usually right.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Hoping that Stevenage's last home game of the season ends in a win for them. If not, they need to rely on results elsewhere to get a guaranteed playoff place before the final fixture next weekend.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Cheating scummy club with a handball equaliser.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Yes we are nearly in the same boat Mark.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I make that Mane's fourth blatant dive up to now, not exactly a 'Saint' is he.;)

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Not quite sure why he's doing that, no need at all. :(

We edged the game and at least didn't lose to them like we usually do.

Great to see Graziano on form. :D

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

A decent watch for the neutrals , great header from Pelle.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

We are quite happy with a draw between those two.:)

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

well in bottom 3 now no chance in hell we get out of it :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Well if Brad Guzan does that a few more times you never know.:D

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Excellent for Stevenage. Very nervy near full time at home, ecstatic that we now have a place booked. Looks likely to be Wycombe for our opponent.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

And it looks like we will have The Shakers.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Villa was robbed, another bad decision Benteke was on side and Hart should have saw red

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Oh dear what's happening at Goodison Park this afternoon.:D

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Now for a draw at the Bridge this afternoon.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

You mean the Emirates Mark.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Wherever it is den. Dislike both equally so a draw is ideal for me.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Chelsea should have had two penalties that's for sure.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Pretty pleased with the draw. Especially since United lost, Spurs and Liverpool drew.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Yes you are definitely in the CL for another year which Arsenal have deserved fully as they have definitely improved from a tactical point of view this season compared to other seasons.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Bullocks to that, they don't deserve anything. Pleased with a draw, gutted that the arrogant one will win the league this season.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Chelsea will win the league because one they have the best manager in the PS and two because they have the best defence along with the best all round side as well.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Its another bore draw between Chelsea and Arsenal. Typically. And there have only been ONE penalty in the game, l believe it Cahill handled in the box. I have seen penalties given for the that.

The other one people are talking about, the keeper's box his is domain, the keeper comes out, he cannot stop himself, there hits the player.

I think Oliver done a brilliant job, the players from both sides were guilty of 'diving' and therefore Oliver was aware of that.

If you go down in the box, both hands should be by your side, not upwards - Yes, to a penalty

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Ideal, if you really disliked them you'd hope both sides loose. It's how I feel when Chelsea play spuds anyway

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Don't see how that works, because if I hate both teams equally, why would I be happy for one team to get all 3 points? And I am not a fan of Spurs but always cheer them on against Chelski or Arsenal.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Sigh - we're safe and playing like it.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Better to be safe then to be in the relegation quagmire.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Neither would get three points if they both loose would they

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I know what I am trying to say but can't word it right. What I mean is, I get wanting both to lose. But that means in order for a loss to happen, one of them has to win. Which is why a draw is a better scenario for me than one team getting all 3. But that only applies when facing each other, so for instance every Chelski v Arsenal game I want a draw for a result. It goes without saying that for the other 36 league games I cheer on the opponent. Think I explained what I meant this time.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

swap you anytime must be great to be safe :cry:

Please Liverpool win tonight PLEASE

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Oops.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Well Liverpool have taken full advantage of Spurs gaining a point at the weekend. Now they're tied on 58 points. The race to avoid Europa League will go down to the final game of the season!

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

The amount of money Rodgers has wasted at Liverpool is incredible. It will be interesting to see if they give him another chance to waste a load more money this summer.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

and the biggest waste of money was Mario what a joke signing

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

No need for explanations Mark I got what you meant, I envisage something slightly different, like a tsunami enveloping the pitch or a sudden earth shift/quake swallowing the pitch up, job done, both loose and it'd prove what we all already suspect that even mother nature hates Chelsea

---------- Post added at 02:20 ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 ----------

They'll get most of the cash back for him, imo he has made far worse signings that he has no hope of getting the cash back on or indeed shifting of the wage bill.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Pathetic yet again with 69% possession and not one clear opening all night.:td::(

---------- Post added at 04:56 ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 ----------

Sadly he will be given another chance by all accounts.:(

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Well done Bournemouth.

We are almost champs, though playing defensively (boring).

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Maybe they are a junior team of Chelsea, who would rather sit back in defence and do sod all attacking.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

can they save that to last game of season

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Well we beat Leicester 3-1, it did not seem as boring to watch as previous 4 matches.

I like the way Leicester play I hope they stay up.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

My moan today is Premiership clubs which are getting increasingly greedy with Hull charging Liverpool fans £50 for a away ticket and now West Ham are charging Everton supporters £55 for away tickets although Everton are subsidising the cost of tickets by £10 which should be applauded.

I agree Den, football will price itself out at the rate they are going there will be no fans to watch it in the stadiums. I was watching on TV a few 1st and 2nd Division games and the grounds looked rather empty.
