If what you say is true then surely Suarez would not win the award.

His performances this season have been truly fantastic and alone more than justify the award but other already well discussed issues remain in the background.

It is well known in the Press Rooms that many of the current writers grew up as Liverpool supporters and some may have allowed this to colour their judgement.

For me Player of the Year is Suarez but I am afraid Gerrard would not make my top three.

Suarez has gone through the season with no serious issues and played football and being a massive influence all season long ( despite missing some games )

But it's just people's opinion - Giggs won player of the year after playing 17 games in the season !

Everyone's opinion gets coloured by their bias - but Gerrard has been as influential to Liverpool's season as Toure has been to City's - Toure gets the limelight because of his marauding runs.

I also went off Toure a bit after his comments as well which the press wouldn't have liked

Much more than marauding runs.

Range of passing, finishing are very much part of his game. Not always the best at his defensive duties though so nobody is perfect.

As for his comments regarding the standing in the media of African players there are more than a few who would agree with him.

the fact he came third IMO is strange, Gerrard has had a good season, very good. But I think the fact he's got quite a few goals has added credence to his claims. 10 of those were pens. Traditionally defensive players, which Gerrard would probably qualify as now get less respect. Which is why I'm confused how Gerrard got second. I don't think race came into it for Suarez. He has been the best player this season, but Yaya for me has been second best easily.

Toure has been the best midfielder, if you include the last month or so. Isnt this of the YEAR though. not the season.

I think they should change it, if it is, so it is the season, and is voted for in late May.

Anyway, off to the match - even if I can dream for just 1 minute.........

And that's that... After 135 pages of trials and tribulations the answer to our question has arrived!!!

Manchester City have won the Premiership Title...

My pick at work at the start of the season and I am £40 better off and most of my winnings are coming from Liverpool fans which is also strange as they have lived in Birmingham all there life... Oh well, thread closed :clap:

Good finish to the season, pity it never went to the last kick of the ball, but an exciting end nonetheless. Well done City and well done Liverpool for running them close.

Best team/s - Man City (top,top team) Liverpool (great to watch)
Biggest surprise - Liverpool (helluva season)
Biggest disappointment - Spurs (expected an improvement this year)
Worst team - Cardiff (poor team all round)

Well, the mighty Eagles had a great season and played a major part in deciding relegation and the title race!

Only missed 3 home games and had a ball but probably won't get a season ticket next year

Genuinely not being patronising but despite previously expressing a slight preference for Man City I was glad Liverpool came back to win today.

A five point gap would have given the wrong impression of how well Liverpool have done and how hard they have pushed until the end.

Best team won in the end, although best manager award should go to a manger with no real resourses and a decent season. Steve Bruce and Tony Pulis should be in with a shout,though Pellingrinni will probably get it.

I'm not sure mate,I'd put my money on Pulis winning it.

Agree think Pulis should win it this year, not a fan of his style of football but he's done his club a massive service keeping them up.

With the amount of money Man City have spent even I could have won them the title;)

To be fair, with the money and talent available to him most of the games I've seen gave been quite exciting, with rampaging wingers (Puncheon and Bolasie) and always one or two up front through the middle. If he had more money or was the manager of, say Arsenal, I'm sure he'd play a different style.

The first home game after he took charge was a complete sea change and, I know I'm a fan, but if I were the supporter of any team outside of the top 6 or so, I'd be happy to have him in charge!

Pulis or Rodgers for Manager of the Year - both done brilliant jobs for their respective clubs this season. If either won it would be fully deserved
