Jordan Henderson wins FWA Footballer of the Year

[domalino]

to be fair, last year the FWA went with Raz whilst the PFA went with Van Dijk, so maybe they know Kev will get the PFA award so have gone the opposite way for "balance" again?

They don't have a clue what the PFA have voted for, not sure they've even voted yet, there's been no announcement of when the award will happen.

Don't let people pointing out Sterling winning last year con you into thinking it's an even slightly fair process. Sterling had to endure 5 years of racist bullshit from the press and the award he got was their guilty consciences and self preservation catching up with them after he pointed it out and turned the public against them.

Van Dijk's biggest achievement last year was losing the league after conceding 1 goal fewer than City's apparently awful defence.

Aguero, Yaya, KDB x2 have all been robbed.

Finally someone is calling the shit housery for what it is. Their bias is blatant and obvious, Pep won't hold back now.

Love it.

The main reason Raheem won it was because they all shit themselves when he called out their racism.

so if Kev comes out against the global persecution of gingers he's sorted.

It just proves more than ever, that our footballing media know fuck all. Playing for the fanzine clubs who are so heavily entrenched in the media means they'll always win these awards.

The push for Mane for the other individual award will commence now.

Henry Winter has posted the full list of players that received votes. Someone voted for Wan Bissaka. And someone for Jonny Evans.

They looked at this season, and couldn’t see anyone better???

Fucking hell. They are paid for this...

Those going for players who have quite obviously not deserved their vote see themselves as some kind of footballing hipsters.
They're not of course, they are massive ****s who shouldn't be trusted with proper cutlery.

I can't believe Rashford finished third.

No City player has ever won the PFA award I believe. Quite mental.

Players are generally quite thick so will vote for whoever they've read in the Sun has been good. Wouldn't be surprised if they went Henderson too. The media have consistently stated how vital he is to Liverpool and so he's gone from apparently being underrated to now being way over hyped. Standard of journalism in this country it doesn't surprise me they've overlooked De Bruyne despite how class he's been. "How can you not give it to a player that's just won the league?". City players wondering that from our 100pt season. Or 2012 when Van Persie won both. Or 2014 when Suarez won both.

@Ric can you change the title to FWA Footballer of the year?

Or maybe "Formerly respected FWA Footballer of the year award sinks to new lows by crediting talentless gobshite with Premier League BLM campaign started by another player" if you feel like it.
