Van Persie has only scored like two goals in his last twelve games. His second half of the season hasn't been great. He still contributes to the team even when he doesn't score, but I don't think he deserves it over Mata.

Sorry. Just thought I'd put that point across anyway.

I never mentioned Giggs. See below. I'm not justifying anybody elses inclusion, this year or any other year. I don't think any of the three should really be in there. They've all been very good at some stage of the season but the awards should go to whoever was the best player over the whole season. Should be 30 games plus.

Nastasic hasn't played enough. Not even half of the season and I'm not sure how many were starts. Benteke for the young player.

Bale has scored five less goals than Suarez in five less appearances and is a winger. Mata has ten goals and a shitload of assists and his generally all round play has been phenomenal. This one is going to be really close between those three.

Delighted for Carrick. I'd personally go for Mata, but I think Bale will win it.

Actually, they applauded him when he was stretched off. I remember the game extremely well, like yesterday. If you find a video of the incident you'll hear the song, and you'll hear their boos drown out the applause of our fans and a small portion of theirs. Trust me. EDIT: Drown out is the wrong description, but the boos are loud and clear.

I can't believe you took Obertan man.

Yeah. They also sang, "Hey Riise, I wanna know, how you broke his leg," while he was lying in agony on the pitch. Horrid cunts.

I can remember the day it happened too. Scousers gloating that it was Riise's power that broke his leg. Classy.

All signs point to success. (except the last two tips)

Ruined his career? Really? He played one season as a midfielder before the injury.

Well every time he got an opportunity for us he worked his arse off. There are a lot of people who see a tough tackling player and automatically assume he works hard, but that wasn't Smith. He chased down every ball, went into every tackle and never complained when Fergie converted him from striker to midfielder. He was a very useful player, and his injury was a shame. Obviously everyone here will have different opinions on him that may be justified, but for I liked him for us.

I don't think all the bookies back home do the races in Australia. I've backed it on my Australian bet365.

Saturday in Australia. Race 6, Morphettville. Horse is called DRAGON LORD. Paying 13/1 at the minute. Don't be silly now Pata.

Good 'ol Smudge. Always gave 110%.

$10 up. Minted.

I've gone for Newcastle DNB. Forum bet on that?

$20 on James Wade. Returns $40. $10 on: Wade Taylor (vs. Hamilton) Van Gerwen/Barney draw Van Gerwen (vs. Lewis Returns $210.

I think we've scored 14 goals from corners this season.

Ending a two month goal drought with an extremely important goal is valid grounds to celebrate with passion if you ask me.

Lost about $200 in total this weekend over horses, football and NRL.

Hey, Neil! :yao:
