It will be John Terry

[Nerf]

It will be Lampard but Terry will lift the trophy anyway.

In full kit.

[Crybaby Bunting]

Is it a fans poll or a players poll? Because if it's fans then obviously Lampard is going to win it this season

[stokeriño]

There's both a Player of the Year voted for by the fans, and a Players' Player of the Year. Last season they were Mata and Ramires respectively.

As it turns out, the four names I mentioned earlier are the top four contenders anyway.

Nathan Ake is Young Player of the Year...

John Terry is presenting the award. I kind of do want him to award it to himself because that would hilariously awesome.

Juan Mata is Player of the Year for the second season in a row.

[Baddar]

Thought Terry would be there somewhere. He'll be in the background of Mata's pics holding the award.

[stokeriño]

Don't know if anyone saw Sky Sports' 'Special Report' on Juan Mata the other night (a half hour documentary thingy...they'll probably repeat it), but he has a little table in his flat with all his football awards/MOTM bottles/match balls crammed on it. There's no way he's fitting another award on the table as it stands - need to buy a bigger table.

Frank Lampard won a 'Special Recognition' award and was awarded it by Bobby Tambling. Wonderful.

Mata is Players' Player of the Year as well.

[Dan]

Was John Terry wearing shinpads?

[stokeriño]

Might have been. Under his suit.

[Baddar]

It doesn't Mata how big his table is.

B-)

[stokeriño]

Looking at it again, he does have some lamps and stuff he can remove so he's okay.

That apartment view is shittier than mine, is all London like that or Mata just chose badly?

[stokeriño]

If your priorities include proximity to central London then 98% of all views are likely to be shit, yes.

[METALMAN]

Basically London looks shit when overcast. It would look nice on a sunny day.

[stokeriño]

It would look nice on a sunny day.

...Eh, only some bits of it.

[METALMAN]

I'm the dirty grotty East End and even it looks nice on a sunny day!

[Khain]

But the port machinery would still be there on a sunny day

[Lineker]

Freund linked with Werder Bremen job.

This can't happen

[Nerf]

Mata's view is luxury you southern ponces!

[Lineker]

Alan Hansen expected to leave MOTD at the end of next season.

[Colly]

Lawro too? Please.
