Nick OGS20 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 right, while we're in awards mode, i'll be opening the voting for our awards at the weekend basically thought i'd run the list of categories by you lot to see if there are any new awards you want to see, categories you want rid of etc. these are the ones we've used for the past two seasons (the 2004 awards were tragically lost when that thread was culled. dunno if ec7 has the results saved anywhere, would be good though): Player of the Year Young player of the Year (under 21) Reserve player of the Year Worst player of the Year Most improved player Most disappointing player Best signing Worst signing Best team performance Worst team performance Favourite moment Worst moment Biggest disappointment Funniest moment Goal of the season Favourite game Best decision Best chant/song Worst decision Best away fans Worst away fans 3 players to sign 3 players to go Most looking forward to next year United thread user of the year United thread worst user Most improved user Favourite trespasser Least favourite trespasser obviously the best/worst signing awards are a bit superfluous this season, cheers glazer. gonna cull one of worst moment/most disappointing moment, unless anyone objects. bit similar, as the results in previous years have borne out. btw, anyone doing their votes now will be soundly mocked. i'm even running a book on which chump is likely to do so.

Nick OGS20 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Scholesy unfortunate in that his best seasons have clashed with someone else having a sensational season (Ronnie this year, Ruud in 2003, Keano in 1999). dare say if he was more of a limelight-grabbing player he'd probably have won it once or twice (and a lot of other awards) - sure he's not remotely arsed though.

Was thinking about it the other day and how he's even more humble than your average person.

Nick OGS20 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 not read it myself but someone (Juni iirc) was telling me about an interview with him in FourFourTwo where he detailed his ideal day - was something like 'get up, take the kids to school, train, pick up kids from school, play with the kids, have tea, put kids to bed, watch tv with the wife, go to bed' absolute hero. unlike lots of stars he generally only gets the credit he deserves from those that truly know their football, and i suspect he wouldn't have it any other way.

Red_Comet Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Player of the Year: Vida Young player of the Year (under 21): There are no under-21 players who have impressed in the First Team Reserve player of the YearBarnes Worst player of the Year: Richardson. He might have improved slightly towards the end but it's not fooling anybody. Most improved player: Evra Most disappointing player: Best signing: Carrick, did we sign anyone else? Best team performance: 7-1 Worst team performance The lost to Crewe in League Cup Favourite moment 3 left backs on the field at the same time against Toffee Worst moment Biggest disappointment: Not getting into CL Final Goal of the season:Cronaldo's goal against Euro XI 3 players to sign: Nani, Berbatov, probably Hargreaves but we don't really need him 3 players to go: Richardson, Silvestre, can't decide on the 3rd one really, now that JOS is a legend for that goal against Liverpool and scoring as many goals as Shevchenko United thread user of the year:NickOGS United thread worst user:Me Favourite trespasser: Juni Least favourite trespasser: Any Citeh Fans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much for the idea that our finest living manager would stand up for the fairness of the Premiership on its final day of the season. Because Ferguson did not just play a weakened side against West Ham United at Old Trafford on Sunday. Advertisement Click here to find out more! He sent them out into the thick of the relegation battle showing all the fight of a pussycat on valium. In the process, with a 1-0 defeat, he let Sheffield United down, he let the Premiership down, he let his club down and he let himself down. If he had done what he had said he was going to do, he could have rescued the end of the season from the injustice that has blighted it. If he had put his best team out, or even something close to it, he could have earned our thanks a new after a campaign of scintillating footbal from his team. United should have been more than capable of beating West Ham, even with the FA Cup Final just six days away. And if they had, Wigan's 2-1 victory at Bramall Lane would have completed the story and allowed English football to escape its shame. West Ham would have been relegated, as everyone accepts they should have been, while Wigan and Sheffield United would have survived. Except Ferguson went back on his word. He did not play his strongest side. Nowhere near it. No wonder Blades boss Neil Warnock was astonished when he heard United had started without Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Cristiano Ronaldo, Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand. No wonder he felt Ferguson had sold him a dummy. The truth is, Ferguson sold us all a dummy. In the process, he opened himself up to accusations of letting his pal Alan Curbishley off the hook. And he dragged the name of his club into a murky, despicable business that has tainted this season. How sad that Ferguson could not do the right thing. How sad that the sense of honour and fairness on which he prides himself deserted him when it mattered. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Oliver Holt in the mirror, with the headline SHAME ON YOU FERGIE nothing about the vermin doing it though eh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
