I for one would never argue with the players choice as that is the best (and most respected) reflection of a players season so I can't see why it's even being debated. The football writers & fans awards are a different matter

Although i agree that a player will value being voted player of the year by his fellow players, i don't however agree that there opinion is any more valid than a writer or football fan. I mean you just have to listen to ex-players like Ray Houghton and Nigel Spackman to see that.JohnnyG said:I for one would never argue with the players choice as that is the best (and most respected) reflection of a players season so I can't see why it's even being debated.

Yes because your argument for Lampard being better was, "people in the game" voted for him (fifa vote iirc)JohnnyG said:Didn't you say before that you'd heard 'people in the game' rating Gerrard above Lampard and used that as an argument as to why he was better?![]()

Firstly as i just said, the only reason i mentioned the "people in the game" was in reply to you saying there opinion counted for more (basically saying if they know it all then.....Mr X rates Gerrard over Lampard). I didnt say every individual's opinion is equally valid but just because someone is a player it doesn't automatically make there opinion more valid. Finally i never said your opinion had no validity (which i stated in a later thread) but i just didnt agree with it.JohnnyG said:But now you're saying that their opinion is just as valid as players & fans, yet you gave my opinion no validity at all![]()
J.D.K said:Its great to hear a true profesional like Henry going off topic after making it to the CL final for the first time to congratulate Stevie G on winning. If Henry agrees with the decision and said Stevie G gave the whole Arsenal team inspiration and he should have won it years ago then who can really argue with the decision? - Nice touch Henry, shows your true class!
