Amazing that there are no Chelsea defenders on any of the shortlists - they usually dominate that section.

I can't argue too much with his selection...I might have picked Richards over Walker, Kaboul over Coloccini, and BAE over Baines, but that's mainly because I haven't seen too much of Newcastle or Everton this year.

[Blake Griffin]

although i'm not a massive friedel fan, i'd've had him ahead of chesney.

Don't know what you're loling about

Then you have no idea what you are talking about. Unfortunately the goons have one of the best keepers in the league now.

One of the best centre backs in the league without a doubt.

i'm not doubting chesney at all but don't think he's been as consistent as friedel this season. i have no idea what i'm talking about though so just ignore me.

Crikey. That's a strange one. Unfortunately Chesney seems to have the talent to match his mouth.

 

[Blake Griffin]

it's not a strange one at all, i haven't dismissed chesney's quality, just that over the season he has actually made a handful of mistakes.

I haven't watched a great deal of anyone else this season, to tell you the truth. However, I've been impressed by what I've seen of him.

The most common compliment we hear in relation to Friedel is that he doesn't make any spectacular mistakes. Well fuck my old boots-if he were a singer, karaoke would be his level.

good keeping by ches last night.

neville's final team was;

hart
walker kompany coloccini baines
valencia silva yaya dempsey
rooney
van persie​

Surprised Parker didn't even make his shortlist for the central midfielders but Modric did. IMO Richards>Walker and Enrique>Baines. Rest is fine and Dempsey vs Bale is very close but the reasons he gave for choosing Dempsey were perfectly valid.

 

[Blake Griffin]

i think benny's been better than both of them.

 

[mattyspurs]

I don't, as much as it pains me to say it, Enrique has been excellent this season

 

[nailsy]

Surprised Valencia made the team - he was off form at the start of the season wasn't he? He didn't get any assists until December and he's only scored four which is well below his level. He's been very good since he found form, but that's still about half the season he was below par.

 

[Blake Griffin]

I don't, as much as it pains me to say it, Enrique has been excellent this season

so excellent he's been dropped recently?

 

[werty]

I'd probably have Song in instead of Valencia with Silva on the right.

 

[Blake Griffin]

espn named benny in their team of the season ​

Benny is worse at stopping crosses into the box than Baines and definitely worse at set pieces and maybe crossing. Better at everything else.
