1 Bale
2 Nasri
3 Tevez

Call me biased or whatever.. but Vidic should be in the top three, Wilshire got young player of the year & deserved it.

Worst of all, it was voted by the players!

Bale hasn't even been Spurs' best player let alone the best player in the league.

Niall Quinn said on a radio interview a while ago the Sunderland FC still taxes cars for some retired players because they wouldn't know how to do it.

I'd say the cleaners do a lot of the voting.

6 assists in his career, 1 this season. Phil Neville had him in his pocket. Berbatov far more influential in the first 4 months of season.

Th PFA awards are always a bit dodgy. Bale had a few sensational games in high profile matches but has had lots of injuries and some recent indifferent displays. No real outstanding candidates for POTY though in my eyes.

Berbatov in PFA team of the year but can't get into first choice United team!

Name me the 'few' sensational games?

Explain this?

Parker and Adam were nominated for player of the year but didn't make team of the year.. while the likes of Nani,Kompany didn't get nominated for player of the year but make the team.

Capt Pat · April 18, 2011, 08:59:48 AM

Why didn't he win young player of thexyear as well?

Its a mess thats why, same craic when Ronaldo was up for both and only won the Senior award. If Bale was the best player and was nominated for both then he should have won both, but again he wasn't the best player. I always thought the PFA Awards were for the Premier League and performance in that, is it for all competitions? Bale had a few good games against Inter but looking at his stats there were more deserving winners out there. Nani has been consistently good, Van Der Vaart until he was injured was flying, Nasri was brilliant until he suffered the injury too, Vidic has been brilliant, Adam was amazing until January and Tevez has been very good too. Wilshere seems to be doing well but up until a few months ago he wasn't a regular starter and he hasn't exactly set the world alight with assists and goals.

Being as Bale won player of the year, it seems all you need to do to win is score a Champions League hat-trick and do nothing for the rest of the season.

Seems Bendtner should have won last season then.

Sorry for delay in replying. I remember the hat trick against Inter obviously and I saw him playing one or two very good games in the league around that time too. Apologies for not remembering the opposition but he was in a good spell of form for about a month. Not good enough to be quoted up there with the likes of Messi and Ronaldo that was going on on SKY but he was undoubtedly playing really well for a period of 3-6 weeks.

Orangemac · April 19, 2011, 11:18:34 PM

Absolute joke that Baines was not left back in team of the year.

Cole was the lazy option and sums up the Sky hype selections made by players.
