You mother f*cker I was about to make a Scotty P turning joke.
LOL at twitter in a rage that Bale has supposedly won both
Woolwich and Liverpool fans mostly. He 100% deserves it IMO.
Just mentioned on SSN - both awards
Great for the boy. Adds a few more million to the price tag too I bet. Article on sky sports about it states he has 4 assists and has created 68 chances this season. There-in lies our problem. 5% conversion is to be super low no? Be interested to see if I'm way off the mark on that. Maybe

I love bale, but I'm not sure I'd have voted for him over rvp is I wasn't a spurs fan. He's basically won them the title back
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.
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
What we have to remember is that the award is voted for by his peers, so it's more of a neutral standpoint than, perhaps, the FWA player of the year. I think Carrick might get that award

Obviously Suarez isn't popular with a lot of players

Any idea who sponsored the event?
Sure sounds low, but getting that data would involve paying for the Opta suite, something5% conversion is to be super low no? Be interested to see if I'm way off the mark on that. Maybe

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.
