The Player of the Year
I have a funny feeling that the winner will more than likely be determined on whoever happens to be playing for the more successful team. What I mean by this is if Chelsea wins the title and/or the European Cup then I'd probably be putting my cash on the Ivory Coast international to just nudge ahead. Vice-versa if the Red Devils cart home the silverware obviously.
Some might say that my forecast is pretty obvious but we all know that a player can have a fantastic season, and still be left out of the reckoning. The stand out example has to be Alan Shearer. For me he was the best player in the Premiership for six or seven years on the spin, but because of his empty trophy cabinet, often lost out to lesser players.
I think it's rare that two players have such fantastic seasons but with both Manchester United and Chelsea pulling so far clear it's hard to see past those two sides for possible candidates. And on the rare occasions when those two sides have struggled, it's been the players in question who have really come up with the goods.
I'll put my neck on the line and back the Chelsea man, purely on his significant improvement from last season. And after all, as an England fan you have to hate Cristiano Ronaldo. I don't think enough time has passed just yet…only joking of course.
It's a difficult one to call but we'll just have to see…
