I was just about to comment on this but I would like to add that ourselves and Chelsea both won in the quarter finals of the champs league last night and they shown one goal for each club probably about 20 seconds between us and then spoke about scum applying for a team (to play in Salford) for about 3 minutes.

She also earlier on used the term points rather than run for the cricket, agenda or not she's worse that that Sally and shortarse Mike at the weekend.

The only decent one who seems to have any idea is the blonde Irish lady who seems to be 5th/6th choice.

Two and a half minutes of that was slating the rags and praising us though

Sorry, but City fans do. This will be our third league title, yet likely not to have any players have their individual performances acknowledged.

Now, Salah has had an exceptional season, but he's won nothing domestically. Not even come close.

City, it's players & managers have been grossly overlooked when it comes to personal awards.

Salah & Kane have had very good seasons. But De Bruyne and Silva have been the most influential players in a record breaking team. Arguably the best one season team the league has seen.

It doesn't matter if he has won somehting or not.It is a personal award not a team award.
One can argue that KDB is playing in a much better team and doesn't need to raise his levels as much as Salah has to.
When a footballer shines in a bad team then that says something whereas when playing with better players it is easier to produce results.
So if Salah wins it won't be a travesty.Look at his goals & assists.Also the manner of his goals.

As for team of the year I agree you guys ,City,should get it easily!

Scoring and assisting is exciting to watch, dictating the play and controlling a game is a different kettle of fish and kdb has done that and been the most instrumental in a team that’s currently 16 points clear 18 above salah. No one will deny Salah has been great but you simply don’t get football if the winner is just about stats.

or one could rightly argue that De Bruyne has led City to a whole new level that has left them 16 points clear, whereas Salah has basically covered for the fact the club sold Coutinho and the likes of Mane who have done sod all unless they've played us.

This fallacy used to taint our players continually that they "play in a great team so therefore it's no surprise". Well we're 22 points up on this stage last season and a large part of why we've improved so drastically is because De Bruyne has been instrumental and inspirational. Salah has been terrific but De Bruyne's impact has resonated around Europe and has changed the course of this season.

De Bruyne set up the first 2 goals in the 5-0.
He scored the opener at home to Shakhtar.
He scored the winner against Chelsea.
He pulled off 2 of the best assists in PL history against Stoke.
He set up the match-winning goal against Napoli.
He pulled off another brilliant assist against Burnley.
He scored the opener against Arsenal.
He scored the opener and set up Sterling's winner against Southampton.
He scored the key 2nd goal away at Leicester.
He set up the winner against West Ham.
He scored the key 2nd goal against Spurs, minutes after nearly having his leg broken by Alli.
He set up the winner at Newcastle.
He came back in 2 days despite nearly having his leg broken again at Palace.
He scored the equaliser in the semi-final v Bristol City.
He set up the opener at home to Newcastle.
He scored the opener at Cardiff.
He set up the opener and scored the 2nd against WBA.
He set up the first 3 goals against Leicester.
He set up the opener in Basel.

A season full of key moments and that's before you look at all the times he contributes to move but doesn't get the assist or goal against his name, like that brilliant blind pass he did against Stoke for example, or his set pieces at Old Trafford which cause chaos and got us 2 goals.

Salah's been great but De Bruyne has defined many of the key moments of City's season and it's made the difference. He absolutely deserves Player of the Year. Salah will deserve his Golden Boot which will reflect the brilliant individual season he's had carrying Liverpool, but De Bruyne has moved City and top level English football forward this year, he's turned it into something different than what we've seen before in this country.

What absolute media tosh. It's along the lines of "The city players are too fast therefore they will get bad tackles on them"

This rule of "It's a good team therefore it is easier " has never been used before, it's dinosaur media drivel trotted out to justify why KDB (Or any City player) shouldnt get an award, instead we now need to be looking at "Goals and assists".

Tell that to Hazard or Kante, Mahrez who have won it previously whilst Kane has been scoring for fun. Nah, now it's City the criteria has changed magically. We could have Messi out there but he wouldnt win anything because he plays in an "already good team", what the fkin actual!

Not having a pop at Liverpool, and I think Salah is actually very good, but he will win it, City are not favourites of the utd/liverpool dominated pundits and medfia in this country and I will be surprised if more than 2 of our players actually get the recognition they deserve through end of year awards, it's the way it goes for City.

But it is the fuel that keeps this team going, fuck the rest of them the media the old fanboy pundits network talking shite about our players, riling the press up against Sterling, ignoring how good Aguero is, fuck em all we will show them

It’s still not the media that give this award out, it is the players. The only thing that might go against KDB is having Silva, Fernandinho and Aguero in there. If you’re thinking about city, they’ve all been very very good this season. If you’re thinking about Liverpool it’s Salah, Spurs it’s Kane and Utd it’s DeGea.
