Football Writers Player of the Year - Scott Parker

Nossmayo · 22 Apr 2011 at 10:06

Anyone who watches West Ham regularly will know this award is fully deserved not only for this season's performances but Parker has played to a consistently high standard in a struggling team for three seasons now.

This recognition is fantastic for the player and will give the fans a much needed boost after another awful league campaign.

Well done Scott. You've done us proud.

Well deserved, glad to see he's getting his chance in an England shirt

Well at least it's not as bad a choice as the Fans Player of the Year - Raul Meireles :eek:

The players gave it to the player that the media have hyped up for most of the season, while the media gave it to a player that his fellow pro's over looked and whom rarely gets any headlines

Well at least it's not as bad a choice as the Fans Player of the Year - Raul Meireles

Clearly Liverpool fans have given up on their team winning anything, so they have taken matters into their own hands!

I really rate Scott Parker, and it's great to see him getting some recognition. I really wonder what his career would have been like if he'd remained injury free and gone to a big club instead of Newcastle.

No arguments with that, should be sitting on 40 odd England caps really too.

Agreed lol.
Oh well suppose he adapted to a new league and being played out of position for most part of the season, and goal of the season. :cool:

Gratz parker

goal of the season?

Well deserved, without him West Ham would be dead and buried.

Good player, never got the break he should have done at a big club.
Yes he played for Chelsea, but at the time when they were buying everybody and everything in sight so never got a fair crack of the whip.

IceBus · 22 Apr 2011 at 12:12

For some reason part of me thinks he's the player Nicky Butt should have turned into.

BaZ87 · 22 Apr 2011 at 12:23

No more deserving than Bale was. He's had a decent season but it's been overhyped because he's been playing in an under-performing side and appears to be 1 of the few players that's put much effort in.

The likes of Vidic and Tevez have been considerably better than Bale and Parker.

The volley vs Wolves.

Fair play to him. If W Ham go down he deserves a move away. Though at his age not sure if there'll be many suitors.

This tbh.

I don't really have a problem with it because he's a decent player doing a good job and seems an alright guy, realistically however there have been a few better players.

All it does though is show that determination and 'heart' are more highly prized than skill.

fair play though.

Hadn't seen that, Berbatov's overhead against you was better though

Better than the Rooney overhead kick? I think not.

It was better than both of those.

No. And rooneys shinner was better than that

Meireles first.
Rooney second(Suarez second/first if kuyt hasn't nicked it)

Did you really just use the N word?

He was never going to turn into a great quality player

Shamikebab · 22 Apr 2011 at 13:43

Berbatov's was better than Rooney's imo, the control on his knee then looping it into the corner? Serious skill, and yes it was better than Meirelelrieleses.
