That would actually make everything fall into place too. I still hate that he pops up on La Liga sometimes tho, they must be hard up for summerisers (that's Francis, not Cantona or big Eric by the way!!).

You're not trying to argue in that post that Giggs should have been given this award are you??

That wasn't the exact point I was making, no. But some people seem to be basing this award purely on this season, rather than the calendar year.

You could argue 'til you're blue in the face about who should've won this award, but at the end of the day, it's the players who've voted for it. And they're going to base it on different criteria to us as supporters. After all, we're not the ones out on the pitch playing against them. We just go off the odd game we see, highlights and statistics.

It's all about opinions.


And anyway, where was the public outrage when David Ginola won the award in '99? That was an even bigger joke!
