PFA player of the year nonsense

I presume it must be the fans of the Professional Footballler's Association. Not sure why they'd have fans though. Maybe lots of Scouser's liked them on facebook.

Another award handed out ....

West Ham midfielder Scott Parker has been voted 2011 Footballer of the Year by the Football Writers Association.

In what was one of the closest contests of recent seasons, Parker topped the poll of journalists ahead of Tottenham defender Gareth Bale, who was last week named the Professional Footballers’ Association Player of the Year.

The England international – who started his career at Charlton before spells with Chelsea and Newcastle ahead of joining West Ham in 2007 – will receive the prestigious accolade, which has been running since 1948, at a gala dinner at the Lancaster London Hotel on May 12.

FWA chairman, Steve Bates, said: “Scott Parker has been so consistent this season with his performances in a West Ham team battling for Barclays Premier League survival and as such has forced himself back into the England national set-up.

“He has been an inspirational figure for the Irons and hopefully his professionalism will be rewarded with West Ham staying up at the end of the season.

“In what was one of the tightest votes of recent seasons, Scott is certainly a worthy winner and follows in the footsteps of a long line of superb footballers who have been given this prestigious honour.”

That award has been handed out 65 times and never to a Newcastle player or a north east based player. I'm sure Paddy will tell me i'm just being paranoid.

The media can have salt of the earth cockney chappie Scott Parker as far as i'm concerned.

No I fully agree. Discrimination against footballers based in the North East of England sounds like a perfectly plausible explanation after all.

So you don't find it surprising that a Newcastle player has never won it?

Nor has any Villa players and we've actually won things in that time period!

Scott Parker winning is gonna look a bit weird if WHam go down. Wonder if he'll be the first relegated player to win the award?

Juninho could've won it the year we went down whilst he was here.

He was out of this world

Parker didn't win anything, just because a bunch of racist and xenophobes selected him as the player of the year in the BPL, doesn't mean anything to me. Total bullshite but I'm not surprised any longer from your racist and xenophobic media.

Nani, Ashley Young and Malouda have had much much much better season, but they're foreigners and black. Not good say the racists and xenophobes. Dempsey, van der Vaart and Kuyt have bad much much much better season, but they're foreigners. Not good say the xenophobes.

Drogba 'quietly' has had a good season (much better than Parker, what a fucking joke! FFS! ) but he's black and foreigner. No chance with the racists. The same goes to Odemwingie WHAT A PLAYER! he's also had a much much much better season than Parker, but no chance with the racists.

What a system!

Charlie Adam has had a much better season than Parker, but he's Scottish, and better a shite Englishman than a worthy Scottish say the xenophobes.

If I'm Scott Parker, I respectfully return the award, and say thank you but no thanks.

Ramsey was awesome today, but he's Welsh, so they gave the player of the match to Wilshere only because he's English.

The FUCK! everyone saw that Ramsey was the man, he ran the midfield against the Mancs, he scored. Wilshere choked and missed the easier shot. What an inferiority complex in the whole system, let alone the institutional racism and xenophobia... MAMA MIA!

"Nani, Ashley Young and Malouda have had much much much better season, but they're foreigners and black."

Hmmmmm.

"Ramsey was awesome today, but he's Welsh, so they gave the player of the match to Wilshere only because he's English. "

How the hell did Malouda sneak in there

Couldn't you have picked any other random black Puro who hasn't been shit this season

Also the last time I checked, Ashley Young appeared to be English

Im loving that Ashley Young is a foreigner all of a sudden.

"Ramsey was awesome today, but he's Welsh, so they gave the player of the match to Wilshere only because he's English"

Just have a think about that statement being used with regards to a topic where the PFA award was given to....a Welshman!

What a complete tool I'm embarrassed for all decent Peruvians, Americans and Latinos in general - this guy has been at it for years with no sign of ever quitting

An award which was given to a BLACK Frenchman a record 3 times in the 00's,

Also to a Latino Portuguese twice in a row.

Infant, since 2000 has been won by an Englishman just 4 times.

Racist xenophobes
