A bit arrogant true but it does my head in when people who clearly don't truly understand football are opinionated against players like Carrick without having a clue what they are talking about.
*sigh* Why is everyone questioning Carrick being added to the list? Is it from experience watching him play weekly or just because of how he is generally perceived? Sorry to say but anyone who actually watches utd weekly and can't see how Carrick deserves to be on the list, just doesn't understand football. He isn't flashy, he doesn't score much but he's everything you want in a more defensive minded midfielder. I bet Fergie would concede that Carrick is the first name on ...
Sorry but if you don't think Carrick deserves to be in the PFA nominees, you should probably find a new sport to follow.
De Gea has more of a claim than Bale, isn't Bale over 24? Surely that's too old for that award.

Nope, Carrick didn't even make the England squad last time.. my friend was texting me on the day of the Montenegro game laughing because he saw Carrick getting dragged around by his wife shopping. ...
It's hilarious how that he goes from someone who didn't even always warm the bench at Man Utd to a French international.. makes me wonder what Fergie was thinking not treating him better.
Yup, Liverpool fans could rejoice, they'd be able to go out Saturday night and be back in time for the championship highlights.
Success is addictive.. sorry Arsenal fans.

Strikers don't usually peak until their mid-late 20s.. Van Nistelrooy, Drogba, Van Persie, Villa.. there is a long list of world class strikers who peaked in their late 20s.
Honestly I don't think Sturridge is anywhere near world class level but there is a lot of room for him to improve as a striker that could come with time.
Sturridge hit his prime? The guy is a second rate player.. just like the other wingers England have produced recently like Lennon for example.. he has pace, can dribble fairly decently but has nothing else going for him. He has the touch of a rapist and that alone will stop him being a good striker.
Demba Ba imho isn't a top player either but he brings goals and that imho is worth more than anything Sturridge will bring.
Falcao to Arsenal? Or even Cavani? Arsenal wouldn't be able to meet their wage demands.. they'd offer Falcao something like 120k while someone like Chelsea/City would offer him 200k+.
So the current sports director of Madrid thinks his star player deserves to be called best player in the world? What a surprise.
@karim Come on man, Chelsea have beaten utd on at least two times one of which gifted them the league due to dodgy decisions. One such thing was when Drogba was literally a yard offside yet the linesman didn't see it.
@vulcanproject I'm a utd fan and even I think we got lucky against City. You could argue that Young's goal should have stood but in the first half they were all over us.
He should be proud that someone could actually look at him and think he has enough class to be gay. Most gay people are well groomed, articulate and respectable people which is everything Joey Barton is not.
I find it hard to believe that's the real reason he was sacked. Torres goal scoring record this season is up there with the worst, hell even Heskey has scored more goals down under than Torres has recently.
Di Matteo was never the right man for the job anyway. His champions league victory imho was extremely lucky.. Chelsea rode their luck both with Barcelona and Bayern and on a different day, could have lost heavily in both games.
I don't think Rafa i...
Neville brothers thick as sh*t? Gary Neville is the best pundit I've ever seen. Even my Liverpool supporting friend agrees and that's saying something.
I think complaining to UEFA is OTT even as both a big admirer of Barcelona and probably one of Xavi's biggest English fans, it's sour grapes to be fair however, I do think so many teams employ overly defensive tactics. Nothing wrong with that but I would like to see a test run of it going by goals scored as opposed to goal difference in standings. Reward teams that actually try and score goals instead of sticking 9 men behind the ball and trying to get a lucky goal.
His penalty record is woeful, I'm surprised they even let him take the Penalty against Braga last week.
Damn fans are going to have to get a new chat.. you can hardly chant "where's your racist centre half" when he's on the field.
If Xavi didn't win it for the year Spain won the world cup, what chance does he have now? The guy is the best playmaker I've ever seen, if not one of the best passers of all time yet is constantly overshadowed by Messi and Ronaldo.
Then Justice has been served.. Ronaldo won it the same year as utd won the Champions League.
Can't take anything away from Bayern as they were clearly up for it and worked really hard and admittedly deserved the win however UEFA need to bring in pitch regulations. The state of the center circle was horrendous and clearly a deliberate attempt to stifle players like Xavi. Plus the fifth official (or whatever the guy by the goal is referred to) as a lot of explaining to do as to how he either missed or didn't think Muller blocked Alba off for the third goal. Still other than the...
