PFA Player & 'Young' Player Awards

[Gym Beglin]

Using a neutral bookie, Bet Victor, these are the odds for the 'Young Player':

 

Hazard - 4/11

 

Oh wait, may as well stop there. 

Go on then, for the record, these are 'the others'...

 

Sturridge 7/2

Ramsey 10/1

Barkley 14/1

Sterling 16/1

Henderson 33/1

Oscar 33/1

Januzaj 40/1

 

 

What about the big one, the PFA PLayer of the Year Award?

 

Suarez 1/8

Hazard 8/1

Sturridge 20/1

Y Toure 20/1

Aguero 100/1

Kompany 100/1

Gerrard 100/1

 

 

I reckon Hazard will get both.  There's previous for it with Bale, and let's face it, Suarez shouldn't be 1/8 considering his 'friends' in the game in this country.  Not that I think Hazard is the player of the year.

 

 

If it was fair, and if the young player of the year was for players aged under 21 only, then I'd likely give the young player award to Sterling.

[Torvald Utne]

I know odds don't necessarily reflect what's right but Barkley being shorter odds than sterling is ridiculous

[Trucker Paddy]

I reckon sturridge will get the main one

[Adebisi]

Might have a few bob on Sterling and Januzaj. 

[Megadrive Man]

Great point about Suarez, Hazard at 8/1 for the main award is worth a bet.

 

How is Henderson so far down? I rate him as our second best player over the course of this season.

[sir roger]

Hazard has been very good & I think it would be fair for him to get the young one & Luis the main one.

 

The carrying-on by all them second division divvies with 2 haircuts at the awards last year makes me wonder if Luis might get shafted & Hazard might get both.

[Gnasher]

At them odds, i shall be lending a fiver off someone and putting it on aguero at 100/1

[manwiththestick]

No Tom Cleverly or Danny Wellbeck? Something fishy's going on.

[Trucker Paddy]

At them odds, i shall be lending a fiver off someone and putting it on aguero at 100/1

Get yourself a pint and a packet of crisps or give the fiver to charity

[Trumo]

What are the odds on them hiring Dieudonné M'bala M'bala to provide the entertainment?

[Gnasher]

I'm more concerned with which comedian the fa will book for this years show. Don't want a repeat of last years shambles, with the fa scoring an own goal with the racism issue. I think they should play safe and just get Roy Hodgson in to do his NASA, monkey, moonrocket jokes. His performance apparently went down a bomb with the players when he tried it in a half time England team talk.

[Anubis]

Be interesting to see how the knobheads react if Suarez wins, given the booing last year.

[dave u]

If Suarez doesn't win it then there should be a lot of people feeling embarrassed.  That goes for  the players and the writers award.

 

I'm not sure there's ever been a more clear winner.  He's leading the league in goals and assists, and he gave everyone a five game head start!

[Baltar]

Suarez won't win, it's a popularity contest after all and nobody likes Luis. Ryan Giggs winning it a few years ago after starting only about 10 league games tells you what this pile of shit award is really about.

[Gym Beglin]

I think Hazard is nailed on, he gets rediculous reviews in all the usual media outlets and MOTD.

 

That said, if Aguero sticks together a sublime run in these last 10 games then he could get in, and 100/1 is worth a quid or two.

 

Ramsey's injuries did for him, otherwise he'd get the young player award.

[niallers]

How the fuckity fuck is Barkley lower odds than Sterling. He's a very good prospect but Sterling's been immense since Hull away. Hazard will prob get it, not that he should, but as previous posters have said quoting super intendant chalmers psycho buddy "it's just as God dam popularity contest with you kids "

[KMD7]

Suarez has to get it . He's had one of the greatest seasons anyone has ever had in the league. If he doesn't get it then they might as well cancel the thing in future.  

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Odds change based on where the money's going and where bookies want to channel punters, nothing more.

 

I reckon Suarez will get the main award as his performances and stats are just too good to ingore now. It's got to the point that to do so would blatently undermine any outcome to the contrary.

 

Suarez and Hazard will clean up all the awards going.

[Bjornebye]

Should be Suarez and Sterling

 

It will be Hazard and Janujizm

[Jose Jones]

Don't they do the voting for the players one in January or something?

In which case Luis should win fairly easily as he walloped his way through December.  Hazard has been good, but it's only the last couple of weeks that the narrative of him being amazing has really taken hold.

 

The writers vote may depend on who wins the league.

[Phoenix]

Should be Suarez and Sturridge

[The Golden Eel]

Should be Suarez and Sturridge

Yeah, I reckon so on merit

[Red Banjo]

Hazard has half the goals, and half the assists of Suarez, so naturally i think he has the edge. Personally i think it should be between Suarez and Toure. By far the standout players this season.

 

Plus neither of them kick ball boys for fun in their spare time.

 

Despite doing next to fuck all but playing for Manchester United, means Janet Jazz Jazz Jam must be in with a proper shout for young player. That's how these things work isn't it?

 

When is it announced anyway?

[Jairzinho]

Giggs will get the main award.

[gingerhulk]

I had a fiver on Sterling for Young Player Of The Year in the summer, got 50-1.

 

Hazard will win it though.
