So pleased for Gareth. The greatest don't always get recognised.

Ah man that hit me hard that one.
--------------------------
have to agree with chronic, i have no idea who the fack you are
Of course you don't, Dog is too hipster for you. Mainstream
I am surprised that Utd no longer see Arsenal as rivals anymore, shown by how little the players cared on the pitch today.

Bale has won the same number
of PFA POTY awards as Henry and
Ronaldo. What a facking joke
--------
Strange, isn't it? He won his first for the performance in the Inter tie. But in fairness, despite his appalling form in the 2nd half of that season, his award competitors were a weak selection with Charlie Adam and Parker as his strongest competition.
---------------------------------
he was injured for the first couple of months of 2011 you plum
Spurs go on like they are a big club
He was injured from February
onwards, Sheriff. I think you will
struggle to find any players who
are in good form when not
playing.
---------
No he wasn't. At least, not that length of time. He played a lot of games but basically looked like he'd run out of steam. It was shocking at the time that he won.

Dont you remember this Sheriff? He was out for two months afterwards.

Even when he played, he was really poor. It doesn't detract from the fact he didn't have a season worthy of a PFA award. Bale wasn't even your clubs player of the season that year, nevermind the league. Modric won your Player of the Year that season.
Fully deserved, bale has been sensational this season!

He was out for two months

---------
And the other 3 months from New Year? The point is, by the standards players like Henry and Ronaldo reached to win it, his season wasn't worthy of the award. It's sickening players like Scholes never won it and that kind of season picked the award.

Now he'll really be gone next season
The fact that Bale's won the same amount of PFA awards as Ronaldo and Henry shows how much the league has declined.
I dont think he should have won that year no, but to say his form was poor is pretty harsh considering that he wasnt playing.
the league has declined and massive arsenal are still 20 points off the pace
Yes, we have declined as well Chronic. I thought that was pretty facking obvious.
It is staggering that scholes never won it, the best player I've seen along with zizande

I very vividly remember you had a terrible 2nd half of that season and Bale was the biggest scape goat of your fans as the collapse in his form coincided with yours. This was on this very forum. I don't think I'm being harsh at all. His form with and without the injury was poor from New Year.

never won it, the best player I've

---------
It was indeed a travesty Scholes never won it. Or Giggs winning the biggest joke of an award. Or Henry winning it just twice. Or Bale winning it in 2011.
Don't know about ranking Scholes with Zidane though.
Giving the award to a player with 5 yellow cards for diving in a calendar year is setting an awful example to the children.
The children will think its acceptable to dive, as it will ultimately win you accolades.
My 9 year old son asked me who had won just before he went to sleep, I told him Juan Mata had won, and not to have nightmares about players constantly cheating, and potentially ruining the game we both loved, as Juan was honest, and he had won, so football had been saved.
Thanks PFA for making me lie to my son
