It's not though. He's an above average player playing in an utterly dross side. It's just typical of the attitude in this country to give the award to a player that works hard and is 'committed' instead of players who have actual quality and ability to play at the top level. He's not a bad player technically, he's quite good, but he's nowhere near the best player in the league and hasn't been this season. Did you watch the two games inwhich we played West Ham? Both games he was anonymous and was outplayed and out-fought by our midfield. These games are not exceptions to the norm, this is his level for the majority of the season. He has a few moments of quality and is more committed than his teammates and this exaggerates his ability level. Couple this with a squeaky clean reputation, his nationality and the fact he plays for a Laandan club and bang - Player of the b****** Year. So you're saying that Parker has been anonymous, out-played and out-fought for the majority of the season. Wow. strange they've picked up so little points realy, with Scotty Parker apparently bossing the midfield every game. Yep, good logic that. Well done. Is football still 11-a-side? But you claimed he hadn't been anonomous in many games this season, i'm just saying he has. Regardess of whether that is because he has poor performers around him is irrelevant. Er no, my problem was with the ludicrous argument that he has been anonymous, out-thought etc in MOST games this season.

So does Arsene Wenger, evidently. And almost every living West Ham fan. Still, you know best.

I say otherwise. I'd have him in ahead of Nolan and let him do what he does best - work box to box - with Tiote as holding midfielder. That's with Ben Arfa tucked in behind Shola. The refusal of people on here to accept that Parker has been superb this season is beyond embarrassing.

If he was in any way connected with anyone of note at any Premier League club - anyone within football, anywhere in fact - it wouldn't have taken him until today to get the info he (stupidly) tweeted about that BB bird Imogen.

Marveaux and Larsson two of the out-of-contract players?

Changing tack - and apologies if posted elsewhere - but the MoS have a stats piece today revealing the quickest, slowest and fittest players at each club (based on data from last weekend, I think). Carroll was Liverpool's quickest. So much for lumbering...

At risk of being shot down, I wouldn't mind a "donkey" like Kuyt in our line-up.

f*** me. Simple math.. Scored in three matches = 9 points on the table..Some players you cannot replace, if they're injured it will affect your season. Period. How many points did Carroll put on the board for us.. so are we still nearly as good? A very good question. Can't wait for the utterly insane response.

Romaric of Sevilla linked. International team-mate of Tiote. Heard a while back we were looking at another Ivorian, but assumed it was Gervinho.

You are taking the p*ss, right?

First decent cross in open play he's had as a Liverpool player. Stunning goal. Wonder what he'd have made of Guthrie's ball yesterday. Still, at least we're making 0.5% interest on that £35m...

How is it sad. How's it not? I saw him play for the juniors, reserves & the 1st team at NUFC & so it is good to see him play well for England & Liverpool. You must support loads of teams around the country then. Not teams you plank I only support 1 team, I like & follow loads of x-mags & geordies who never played for NUFC like Madien, Graham, Walker, Colback, Novak & a load more other playes If you mean Madine, he's never played for Newcastle and doesn't consider himself a Geordie so you might wanna give up on that one. Doesn't consider himself a Geordie? That'll be news to his dad...

This. Got seriously bailed out several times by Colo and, fair play to the young 'un, Ferguson. Anyone who says different can't have been at the game.

Pardew said after Saturday's game that the players weren't back in until Tuesday.

Williamson was equally bad on several occasions. Ferguson baled him out superbly in the first half.

"Fan" slags off player for celebrating goal in massive home win. Who's the cock?

How is that plausible in the slightest? As if Newcastle were trying to trick him into it - "HAHA Transfer request handed in, you can't go back now Andy!" All part of Ashley's evil plan... http://shootingparrots.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Dick-Dastardly.jpg Who knows? But for a good half-hour before confirmation came through of Carroll putting in a transfer request, David Craig (llambias' mouthpiece) was talking about Newcastle telling Liverpool they'd sell for £35m.

Spot on. But people are also re-writing history by suggesting we played s**t football with Carroll in the team. When we clicked, it was thrilling stuff, and the lad scored more for us this season with his foot than his head.

Can't help but feel pride that a Geordie is doing it in an England shirt. But then I was brought up to cheer our old boys through gritted teeth (Waddle, Beardsley, Gazza)...

Coleman should rest his mouth long enough for his brain to register that Wales are utter s**t. Didn't someone on here insist we should sign that centre-back Williams?

I like............ Me too. The Breton look is very now.

Darron McDonough, Wayne Fereday, Ian Stewart...

Sigh. YOU were the one that brought Saylor up, and it wasn't me who wrote the following... Taylor's far better in the air {than Williamson}. Lescott has ability but he's not an ideal partner for Coloccini. Rather have Saylor alongside Colo. He {Williamson) can and will be dropped the second Saylor is fit. And rightly so. Taylor is the more capable. And... He's {Saylor vs Williamson) got a lot more going for him. Go get your coat.
