Newcastle Utd: Kevin Nolan, Enrique
NUFF SAID. Nolan proving last season's form was a blip, very much a premiership player. Enrique solid always.

Fabregas for Arsenal.
He's won several games this season almost one handed. Villa and Tottenham games for example. He's been able to lift the team at times and has shows maturity beyond his years. Also I think he's rubbed off on several other players and when he plays well the others around him play well. It's a shame that the English press won't believe him when he says he's not moving to Barcelona in the summer. I think that he'll move without a doubt, but not this year, Barcelona don't need him just yet as long as they have a midfield with Xavi and Iniesta. He has given everything in almost every game this season bar 1 or 2 where he's looked a little off the pace. His efforts have been rewarded in the form of a nomination for young player of the year but will likely be beaten to it by Wayne Rooney, who deserves it in fairness.
Honorable mentions would have to go to Vermaelen and Campbell. The Verminator has been Wengers' best buy in a number of years and he made an impact as soon as he came in, always reliable. Campbell, disregarding the away leg of Porto has been excellent both on and off the pitch. He's encouraged team mates and been a real leader and other Arsenal players need to follow his example. Hopefully Wenger will give him another year even if he just plays a bit part.

Team : Stoke City
Player: Matthew Etherington
Was a close call between Ryan Shawcross and matty but i went for matty.
His personal problems are well documented and he has got his head down and has been SUPERB for us this season. He is i think got the 6th highest amount of assists in the league (throw ins do not count) and his dribbling down the left has been a great outlet. Also added a few goals for us. Never played less than 100% effort.
Ditto. Huth was also in the reckoning for me and looks to have been a good signing.
Blackburn Rovers
Player of the Year
Christopher Samba
Why?
He's been an absolute rock at the back and does his job in a very no nonsense fashion. Over the past few seasons he's matured a great deal and cut a large number of silly mistakes out of his game. Also functioning as a stand-in Captain towards the end of the season, he's been consistently one of our best players and a solid foundation of our team.
Runners Up
Paul Robinson - He's been fantastic for us this season and seems to be regaining the confidence he lost after the unfortunate incidents with England. If he's not at the world cup this summer I'll assume Capello is infact blind.
Steven N'Zonzi - Came from the French second league during the summer and has featured in every League game for us this season. Despite his age he's shown a cool head under pressure and has rarely put a foot wrong in his anchoring role.

Have to agree with this. Awful season. Let's hope me can keep hold of McManus.

Arsenal, Fabregas.
Though frankly he'll always look a class above the rest of the team, Bendtners done fantastically well for a player whose never really been played much before, who was injured and came back and has scored a bunch of incredibly crucial goals for us in league and cups. Campbells actually been mostly very very good, unfortunately almost always in games that have sucked for us as a club. Verm's great, RVP was great before his injury and looked surprisingly good when he came on.
But Fabregas is our lynchpin and also incredibly hard working defensively, he runs around closing down in our own half more than any other midfielder aswell as always getting forward for attacks, tireless worker, true quality, best passer in the prem by a huge distance and added a bunch of goals to cap it off this year aswell.
My word, Drogba, what is it 24 goals(no penalties, more than Rooney without his penalties) 11 assists, but Malouda, whose put in a handful of decent performances and dozens of terrible ones is the player of the season?
Most improved over several truly awful seasons, sure, best, Ivanovic, Drogba, Anelka, Lampard, Ashley Cole, Alex, Essien are all better than him this year.
Having a quick look, he's managed 11 goals, but when you look at the games, teh 7-1 drubbing of Villa he got 2, two more in a 5-0 destruction of Pompie, another in a 4-1 smashing of West Ham, 1 in a 4-0 thrashing of Wolves, another in a 7-2 Sunderland game. I'd say 8 of his 11 goals have come in games the entire team has utterly smashed the other team, and he's done almost smeg all against anyone else.
In only one game was his goal actually important to the outcome, 2-1 against Stoke, not a single other game would his goals have made a difference. When the team is utterly humiliating someone he puts in a few goals, when its a tough game, he's almost completely useless. How a Chelsea fan could pick him over Drogba, whose scored crucial goals all season, is the top scoring, 2nd highest assister and immensely useful defensively, I really don't know.

Yeah but remember goals scored in games where lots of goals are scored don't count 
Arsenal.
As said, it's an easy one:
Fabregas.
- He's consistently been a world-class talent and great to watch. I don't need to spell this one out. I hope we have many more seasons to come with him in our colours.
Honorable mentions for me personally also goto:
Nasri
- A fantastic work-horse and complete under-appreciated player. He has a brilliant football brain and is only 'ignored' largely to having Fabregas as a central partner. Nasri's talent can be summed up in that one goal he scored against Porto. Brilliant.
Vermaelen
- Another absolutely thriftful piece of genuis on behalf of Wenger. Within the space of a season he's firmly established himself as part of the back-bone in the squad.
Clichy
- I know our defence hasn't been the best this season, but over the last few games I've noticed Clichy more and more begin to find form. He's been absolutely terrorising people down the left-flank in recent games; if only he could find the net too. After coming back from injury it was inevitable it would take some time to find his stride. I sincerely hope his form continues into next year. Combine that with the full return of RvP, next season proves to be very exciting.

Chelsea
Ivanovic
Has had to play a lot of games and has proved to be an exceptional defender. Whilst he's not great at taking players on he can put a great ball in. I agree with Drunkenmaster, Malouda has been terrible for the previous 3 seasons but thankfully, has finally stepped it up.
Drunkenmaster, Essien? Do you realise how much he's played this year?
