Altamullan Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 For a club famed for supposedly 'preferring to lose 4-3 than win 1-0' we seem to have a fetish for awarding it to run of the mill defensive players. Nowt run of the mill about Venison and Peacock in those seasons, IIRC. And always thought Watson was a wonderful asset. Held back by his versatility.

Guest firetotheworks Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 1994/95 Barry Venison 1995/96 Darren Peacock 1996/97 Steve Watson 1997/98 David Batty eh? Darren Peacock won NUFC player of year in the same year that Les Ferdinand won the PFA Player of the Year? Loads of those don't make sense. Loved Venison at the time, but Rob Lee was undoubtedly our best player in 94/95 and the likes of Beardsley, Cole (albeit for half a season), and Fox were all better that season as well.

Guest firetotheworks Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 But he only played half of the year. I can't remember Santon winning it, like. And scored 23 goals. If you remove penalties (I kna I kna) he would have finished top scorer in the league. I know, don't disagree. But that's what will have swayed it. I agree that that's what will have swayed it, but it shouldn't imo. Same goes for Diame this season for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Krul won in 11/12 as well. Fucking hell. The last time we had any attacking player as player of the year was Shearer in 02/03. That's fucking ridiculous and totally inaccurate like. Krul in 11/12 ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odear Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Clarke’s level is the championship. And he was great for us while we were there but the PL is a different kettle of fish. It’s a slower type of football but gets lightning fast in or around the box. He just wasn’t equipped for it. Lascelles on the other hand is still rough around the edges but his positional decision making makes up for a lot of what he lacks in other areas. As a captain he’s possibly the best we’ve had in he modern game. Certainly equal to Shearer. I’d be gutted if he left but this lad deserves more than what we can offer. If he stays then it’ll be because Rafa has big plans for the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fucking ridiculous and totally inaccurate like. Krul in 11/12 ffs. Colo was named in the PFA team alongside Kompany and also won NEPOTY! Absolutely mental most of those winners!

ponsaelius Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Krul was a deserving winner in 2011/12 tbh. The rest are a shambles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Krul was a deserving winner in 2011/12 tbh. The rest are a shambles. He played well, but others outshone him still. Ba could have won it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Krul was outstanding that season. There were loads of games where we just clung on for dear life. You could make a case for some others but at the time I don't think anybody questioned him winning it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Players like HBA, Ba and Cisse were all outstanding in parts of that season, but Krul, Colo and Cabaye were consistent throughout. Could make the case for any of those latter 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Not only should Lascelles be in the England team, he should also be the captain. I'd love to see him Diame the fuck out of Alli or Sterling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 https://www.football365.com/news/englands-centre-half-problem-leads-to-18-year-old-rookie So Chalobah gets to go and have a little play with the adults for experience, that's nice. What happens if a CB does actually have to pull out? He gets to go to the World Cup so he can have himself a nice experience there, too? And Harry Maguire needs a personalised conditioning plan? What the fuck does that mean? Fucking genius to pick an already mediocre defender that apparently still isn't even fit enough after a whole season of Premier League football ffs.
