That's a lot of shite which doesn't stack up. By your logic Charlie Adam has also been average.
I think Parker is a fair choice in a season with no real stand out. I also agree that the hype over Bale is well off the mark. A couple of outstanding performances seem to have propelled him to world class status with some judges.
Fuck me, didn't you get your blow-job this morning? As noted, it was a question as I've not seen much of his games, but if he's been the stand-out player of the season, out of all the league, why are the likes of Parker and Adam languishing at the bottom of the table? I'm not saying that they've not had stand-out seasons for their respective clubs, but are those 2 players the best the Prem has offered this season?
Comprende?
I don't follow your logic here.
It is testament to the efforts of Adam and Parker that their sides are not already long since through the trap-door. Why does it have to be the case that for a player to have an outstanding season, he has to play for a good club.
Thats the sort of big club bias we have all been complaining about for years.
My logic is quite simple and not at all 'Big Club' bias, as you might say. I'd personally go for a player who has proved invaluable to his club as well as being outstanding in the league, from what I've seen and from what I've read. And who said anything about having to be from a 'Big Club' as I'm sure I stated that their respective clubs were languishing at the bottom of the league, which is a hell of a difference.
Let's put this into perspective and look at other players who could, or should, have been up for one of these awards, in my opinion of course (apart from the 2 already mentioned):
Carlos Tevez - 19 goals and 6 assists, been instrumental to our season. Not on top form for the last few months but still kicks on regardless.
Vinny Kompany - Our player of the season for me, need I say more.
Luis Nani - 9 goals and a massive 19 assists, been instrumental to their season and keeps on producing the goods - Wanker!
Stewart Downing - 6 goals and 8 assists, played every game and has been a real dynamo for Villa.
And, probably my choice would be Kevin Nolan - 12 goals and a couple of assists, forces the play and having scored a quarter of their goals has lead Newcastle to sit comfortably in mid-table and a realistic chance of securing another year in the top flight.
Then you've got the likes of vdV, Nasri, Kuyt et al who could all be considered as well. So it's not just the club, for me it's all-round performance and how they lead the troops on the pitch.
So, what about yourself, is Parker your choice of player or is there someone else out there?
