RVP has been great but did drop off towards the end of the season. Would be deserved if he won it too but Bale has been on another level this year at times.

Bale with his awards

Any idea who sponsored the event?
 
5% conversion is to be super low no? Be interested to see if I'm way off the mark on that. Maybe Éperons Éperons has a spreadsheet with the answer in it.
Sure sounds low, but getting that data would involve paying for the Opta suite, something Admin Admin refuses to do. That number of chances created sounds really, really high for this year, since, as we've said, Bale isn't pinging the ball into the box from the corner anymore—he's more likely to move into the edge of the box himself and have a go. OTOH, 68 chances is only just above two per match, and people find opportunities to curse Dempsebaylfi at least 10x per match…

Two months ago (or so), when there was discussion of how "wasteful" Spurs were with their chances/shots, some of the reasons given sounded plausible and boiled down to two things, iirc: 1. teams park the bus (more bodies to block shots/cutoff crosses) and 2. lack of a poacher/killer up front leads us to be more speculative from the edge of the box.
 
So with the huge PFA event tonight and the TOTY and POTY awards being announced who would be your choices?

De Gea

Zabaleta Vertonghen Jagielka Baines

Hazard Mata Carrick Bale

Suarez RVP

Don't think Suarez will get POTY so I reckon Bale can pick up both Young POTY and POTY :baletroll:
 
Friedel, Walker, Gallas, BAE, Naughton, Parker, Livermore, Dempsey, Ade, Defoe, AVB were all meant to be there, unfortunately they went to the 'scapegoat' xi awards sponsored by 'kneejerking'
Unfortunately some of the names you have listed there are not scapegoats, they just have been playing very poorly this season and deserve the criticism.
 
Just seen that JERMAINE JENAS once won the "Young player of the year" award.

Write your own jokes with that one.


Jenas was actually a brilliant prospect between the ages of 18 and 22, and even after that and to this day is a decent PL midfielder.

I still think we sent QPR the wrong players tbh.......choosing between Bentley and Livermoore or Jenas and Townsend........it's done us much more harm than it did them good
 
Tottenham's Gareth Bale has won both the PFA Player of the Year & Young Player of the Year awards for 2012-13 season

Get in! Happy for him.
