He’s 1 pen behind Rob Lee for the most pens won for NUFC in the premier league era. 
 

Season record for pens won is Andy Johnson in 04/05 with 8, so could equal or better that with three games left. 
 

All time record is Vardy & Sterling on 23 which you think he’ll beat in a few seasons at his current rate. He’s on 8 if you add his Everton days in.

Yeah. For Gordon not to be nominated for the Young Player of the Year, when the likes of Udogie and Mainoo are, is mental. He's been our talisman all season in terms of performances and output. 

 

Looking at the nominations they seem determined to spread them across the teams depending on their position in the league rather than based on individual merit.

 

We've been up and down and Isak is nominated for both, so that's that. FWIW I love Isak but Gordon has been the more consistent contributor of the two, without a doubt. 

 

I mean he's going to win our player of the season, so how Isak is nominated above him is bizarre.

Perhaps it's time to change the "young" player of the season award. Maybe limit it to 21yrs old from now on. Most of the guys on there have been playing at the top level for 4/5 years now. 

 

Would give other players a chance.

It's not all that surprising tbh, and where it becomes more of a popularity contest when it's a league wide vote.

 

While he's gone a long way to doing so, I'm guessing AG will take a little while longer to shake his undesirable scouse scallywag tag to the wider public. Whereas Isak has been quality for us twice as long, is cool as fuck and already being tapped up by the southern press for the Sky Six so he's the one outsiders will mostly hear about.

As a scouser myself I am offended! ?

 

Kidding aside, it's part of who he is. That mentality drives him on the pitch.

 

I'd much rather he kept it and screw what the wider public think! ?

My bad, I'll admit my biases against scousers are based primarily football based so I've no doubt you're sound if you escaped that for NUFC fandom. :lol:

 

That being said, we all seemed to hate AG when we came up against him for Everton because he seemed such a snide little prick so I assume other clubs feel the same, and he probably didn't help that with his tantrum at being subbed last season. But he seems to have kept his intensity whilst being a shit ton more professional and likeable under Eddie which will take time for people that don't regularly watch us to see as the norm.

Agree with this - it shouldn't be a common occurrence that the YPOTY nominees include some of the best in the sport. U21 makes way more sense.

I wonder if VAR makes it harder. Probably about the same, because you are also given pens that you wouldn't without VAR, so it goes both ways.

Big club bias has always been there, still remember when Phil Jones moved from Blackburn to Man Utd and literally was immediately in the England squad. Never got a sniff while at Blackburn iirc, in straight away as soon as he moved.

But but we are a big club - I think it's more anti-Newcastle bias

He's been great, but it's Isak for me.

 

Isak's been fantastic.

 

However the availability, consistency and energy and commitment going forward and defensively from Gordon was unmatched by anyone else this season.
