Well the PFA awards took place last night and Ruud van Nistelrooy took the player of the year award.
This is a disgrace - OK so RvN has scored a lot of goals this season, but in terms of being an all-round team player, surely Rob was better? What else did Ruud do apart from score goals? Rob scored 12 goals this season, and created another 13. Some of his link-up play has been nothing short of sublime and although it is a smaller award, I am sure he will win the Football Writer's player of the year.
The PFA Premiership team of the year was as follows:
Given (Newcastle)
Finnan (Fulham)
Hyppia (Liverpool)
Ferdinand (Leeds Utd)
Bridge (Southampton)
Pires (Arsenal)
Keane (Man Utd)
Vieira (Arsenal)
Giggs (Man Utd
Henry (Arsenal)
van Nistelrooy (Man Utd)
